Purpose - The purpose of this study is to present what the port of Pyeongtaek, the hub of Korean trade with China, should improve in the current situation, wherein the e-commerce trade volume between Korea and China is increasing due to the development of online technology. Design/methodology - In this study, through prior research and expert interviews on e-commerce and port activation between borders, we derived the main improvement factors for 1) Administration and Systems, 2) Facilities, 3) Transport, and 4) Manpower, and selected 12 detailed variables for the major improvement factors. To identify the relative importance of the major improvement factors, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied, and a survey was conducted among 15 related experts. Findings - As a result, among the 12 detailed variables, Composition of Association (0.267) was the first factor to be improved, followed by Incentive Support (0.143) and E-Commerce Cluster (0.131). Based on these analyses, the main implications of this study are, first, in the current situation where the cross-border e-commerce market is growing, Pyeongtaek Port needs to form a consultative body among the government, local governments, and related businesses in connection with cross-border e-commerce and develop various support policies for the e-commerce market. Second, it will have to be able to provide differentiated services from competing ports by establishing e-commerce market-oriented clusters. Originality/value - In existing related studies, various improvements were presented to revitalize trade in line with the growth of the cross-border e-commerce market. However, with regard to most cross-border e-commerce businesses, one-dimensional improvement measures, such as improvement of payment systems, improvement of customs clearance services, and promotion of human resources, are presented in a piecemeal manner. In other words, none of the studies have proposed the importance and priority of each measure in terms of both the forward-looking and efficient allocation of resources, which is the purpose of this study. Therefore, this study contributed politically, practically, and academically by presenting countermeasures for ports to revitalize cross-border e-commerce and presenting strategic priorities using quantitative analysis methods.

Korea's FTA e-commerce regulations are evolving into a standardized norm. However, "location of computing facilities", which was not covered by Korea's existing FTA, was newly established in Korea's first Mega FTA, RCEP. China, a member of RCEP, restricts data movement and requires data localization through its Cybersecurity law. These facts have led to start this study with interest in data-related regulations. It examined country-specific and regulatory characteristics in the process of forming digital trade norms, using the TAPED established by Burri et al. (2020). It also analyzed the current status of introducing norms related to 'data flow', 'data localization' and 'data protection' of the EU, USA and China, which are leading the formation of e-commerce trade norms. Finally, the legal review was conducted to compare the exact meaning of the wording expressed in each agreement for the six recently enacted Mega FTAs and Digital Economic Agreements. These findings are meaningful in that they provided implications for the effectiveness of RCEP and the direction of negotiations on Korea's digital trade norms.

2015년 우리나라는 약 9,632억 달러의 무역규모와 약 902억 달러의 상품무역흑자를 달성한 반면, 서비스무역은 약 152억 달러의 적자를 기록하였다. WTO에 따르면 서비스무역은 부가가치 및 고용 창출효과가 높고, 국민의 소득수준, 삶의 질 등과 밀접하게 연결되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 2006년부터 2015년까지 12개 항목의 서비스무역 세분류통계 정보를 분석하고 지난 10년간 업종별 서비스무역의 대외경쟁력을 측정해 보았다. 분석결과 첫째, 상품무역규모대비 서비스무역규모는 점차 증가하고 있다. 둘째, 서비스무역 업종별 경쟁력분석을 통해 정책의 수립 및 지원의 우선순위를 고려할 수 있다. 마지막으로 서비스무역 내 업종 간 연계성과 서비스무역과 상품무역 간 연계성을 고려한 정책과제 수립이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Purpose - In this paper, we provide recommendations for Korea's long-term direction and strategic measures to attract inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in response to Japan's export regulations. In doing so, we analyze the current situation and characteristics of trade between Korea and Japan, focusing on the parts and materials industry, which is particularly affected by Japan's trade regulations. Design/methodology - Based on the analysis of five successful inward FDI cases (e.g. Toray, IGK, Delkor, GlobalWafers, DuPont) and statistic trend review in the parts and materials industry, we consider various factors pertaining to successful inward FDI in Korea and propose valuable investment attraction strategies. Findings - For a successful investment attraction strategy, we studied some statistical trends in the internal and external environments of the parts and materials industry and successful investment attraction cases in Korea. We have found that in order to increase the probability of success in attracting investment, we need a mid-to long-term strategy considering multiple factors such as "Production-oriented, Demand-linked, Global Value Chain (VGC) linked, and Policy-linked investment attraction." Originality/value - We suggest several specific measures and important strategic implications for the Korean government and firm's managers to attract inward FDI successfully.

우리나라는 2003년부터 2008년까지 전자정부 과제로 인터넷기반의 국가전자무역망(uTradeHub)을 성공적으로 구축하여 무역의 전자화를 활성화하고 있으며, 전자무역의 마지막 단계라고 불리는 선하증권(B/L)을 전자화한 '한국형 전자선하증권 서비스(e-B/L Korea)'를 정부와 민간의 협력 하에 구축하여 시범사업을 거쳐 2009년에 공식적으로 전자선하증권 서비스에 들어갔다. 국가적 차원에서 상법을 개정하고 시행령을 만들어 선하증권을 제도화한 것은 세계 최초이며 세계 각국이 이의 성공여부에 지대한 관심을 가지고 주목하고 있다. 한국형 선하증권의 성공은 2011년 말을 기점으로 우리나라가 세계에서 9번째로 무역 1조불 클럽에 가입한 '무역강국'의 위상을 높이고 실질적으로 우리 수출입기업의 무역거래비용을 절감함으로써 향후 무역 2조불시대를 앞당길 전자무역 활성화의 시금석으로 인식되고 있다. 하지만 아직은 국가 간 연계구축망이 부재하고, 서류의 보안성과 안전성올 높이기 위한 전자인중이 국제적으로 통용되고 있는 사적인증을 배제하고 국내공인인증만을 취급하는 등 e-B/L 서비스를 활성화하기 위해서 해결해야할 문제점도 산적해 있어 실질적으로 e-Nego 서비스가 크게 확산되지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 e-Nego 또는 서면전환 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 한국형 전자선하증권의 변형에 따른 문제점을 비롯하여 구조적, 제도적 문제점과 사용상 장애요인을 도출하여 이에 대한 해결방안을 제시하였으며, 한국형 전자선하증권의 특성을 검토하고 통 서비스 활용을 활성화하기 위한 전략을 제시하였다.

Purpose - This study aims to identify consumer tendencies in Korea and Vietnam, focusing on the online platform called cross-border, to derive revenue generation measures and use them for strategies to advance into ASEAN. Design/methodology - The questionnaire collected 420 copies from December 1 to December 31, 2020, of which 408 were used for statistical processing. The structural equation model (SEM) and moderating effect analysis with Amos was used to test hypothesis in this research. Findings - The hypotheses were set as factors that positively influence the intention to use e-commerce, such as effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and variety seeking showed statistically significant results. Among them, the social influence factor had the greatest influence, followed by facilitating condition. The sample was divided into countries, Korea and Vietnam, and these changes and differences in influence were confirmed through moderating effect analysis. Originality/value - The moderating effect on both countries (Korea and Vietnam) was found to have a moderating effect on the intention to use. For Korean consumers, significant results were found in the effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and variety seeking, but for Vietnamese consumers, there were significant effects on the social influence and facilitating conditions, but the effort expectancy and variety seeking had no significant effect.

This thesis examines the problems faced in the clearance procedures of Korea's e-customs system for which improvements are necessary, and suggests various ways of overcoming those problems. Practical implications regarding the advancement of Korea's e-customs system are as follows. First, the substructure of the e-customs clearance system, which is the basis for the establishment of a global single window, should be developed into a more modern and advanced system. Second, additional improvements in the law are required to render the broad array of Internet-based export and import documents legally binding. Third, customized services should be provided in order to improve the operating efficiency of the e-customs clearance system. Fourth, the reputation of Korea's e-customs clearance system should be raised via the strengthening of a cooperative system between concerned parties, including exporters and importers. This innovative approach to systematic improvements will come about when we can simplify current customs clearance procedures and establish a fairer customs inspection administration regime. Additionally, when we review the methods intrinsic to our customs system, we must emphasize the urgency of proper completion of related systems and arrangements in the trade business and similar fields.
