To strengthen competences, most of firms have co-operated with external partners. This increases the possibility of unexpected conflicts between firms due to the intellectual property litigation. A suitable intellectual property strategy for firms has to be developed to settle this issue. This study aims to analyze an utilization of intellectual property strategy in firms, and tries to suggest a concept of IP roadmap to support intellectual property strategy planning aligned with technology planning process. For the purposes, we derive five types of intellectual property strategy of firms using Korea Innovation Survey. Then, we explore significant affecting factors using a decision-tree and conduct in-depth analysis for them. Lastly, we suggest a concept of IP roadmap, which can be a supporting tool for developing intellectual property strategy in firms, based on analysis results.

Patent management activities are considered to play a key role for technology-based firms under the recent knowledge-based economies. This is because intellectual property, including patents, can act as a system for continuous profit generation by protecting firms' products, processes and services. In Korea, healthcare industry is now regarded as one of the promising next generation industries. Despite the promise of healthcare industry, Korean healthcare product manufacturers are faced with turbulent business changes, such as market opening. Even though there are various industrial studies on the effect of patent management activities on firm outcome, previous studies have hardly paid attention to Korean healthcare product manufacturing firms. For this reason, this study identifies the effect of patent management activities, such as patenting activeness, technical excellence and cooperation degree, on firm outcomes, including financial profitability and firm growth, with respect to the Korean healthcare product manufacturers. In this study, we located 86 Korean healthcare manufacturing firms from KORCHAMBIZ and DART, and then collected the data of their patenting activities and outcomes between 2001 and 2013. By applying factor analysis and regression analysis, our empirical study found that firms' patenting activeness has the significant positive relationship on firms' financial profitability, and firms' patenting activeness and technical excellence have the significant positive relationship on firms' financial growth. Our study is an initial attempt to identify the effect of patent management activities on firm outcome within Korean healthcare product manufacturing industry, and thus its results can be used as the basis to formulate national policies for Korean healthcare product industry.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the overall process of the wedding industry - arranging domestic wedding firms and formulating a database related to the business. Simultaneously, with all the data in hand the research attempts to seek flaws within the wedding industry and tries to offer solutions to revitalize the industrial section. Because the list of articles is enormously expansive, for the purpose of basic research, objects have been selected according to the process presented below. Wedding-product firms have been classified within the boundaries of dresses, studios, and makeup firms; distributing channels are mainly focused on wedding planners and related-consulting firms; related departments of universities and wedding organizations are illustrated as well. Due to the unorganized system of this particular field, the research process has been conducted with materials from personal experiences, newspapers, magazines, Internet websites, documents, and interviews with wedding-related firms and organizations, and professors. As a result, over 13 subjects which formulate a market structure of over 30 trillion won. However, due to lack of systemization of the industry, as it expands, numerous problems occur. Excessive competition between wedding-consulting firms and the lack of reliable education for wedding planners, unnecessary external investment and the lack of product research, false Information from the Internet puts the entire industry in a inefficient position. Organizations such as Korea Traditional clothes Industrial Union, Korea Wedding Consulting Association, Korea Martial Industrial Promotion Association(KOMIPA) etc, are made to seek for solutions. For the wedding industry to revitalize, wedding-product firms, wedding planners and consulting firms must maintain an organic relationship every season. They must systemize a proper distribution system, with wedding-product companies enhancing the quality of products, wedding planners organizing wedding plans with responsibility, and consulting firms focusing not only on profits. In order to make high-valued products, wedding-product companies must put their greatest effort in producing talented minds, and universities with related departments must do so as well. In other words, the industrial and educational section of our society must cooperate through a sophisticated system. In addition, related organizations must act to receive governmental support in order to support the industry.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting innovation activities related to the introduction of the 4th Industrial Revolution technology for Korean firms faced to the severe global trade and competition environments. This paper conducted an empirical analysis using the 'The Survey of Business Activities' distributed by the Statistics Korea in 2019. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the firm size, labor cost, R&D, and intellectual property rights had a significant influence on the firms' adoption of the 4th industrial revolution technology. It was also found that the dummy variables such as strategic alliance between companies, review of entry into a new business, transfer of main business operations, and holding of subsidiaries had statistically significant effects on innovation activities. In addition, this paper showed that the firm characteristics had impacts on innovation activities of firms by the 4th industrial revolution technology type. In order for Korean firms to adapt to the challenges by the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is important to provide policy support and an environment in line with the characteristics of the firms.

Due to the convergence and complexity of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the boundaries between industries have become unclear and ambiguous. Consequently, there is a lack of research on how firms engaged in this industry are changing their location behavior. Recently, some attempts to classify the industrial groups of the 4th Industrial Revolution and their detail occupations have been made, and this study adopts the classification of Lee and Jung (2020) of the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade. In this study, the 18 detailed industries commonly included in multiple industrial groups are defined as 'core industries' and are classified into manufacturing and service industries to explore the spatial patterns of firms' location. Specifically, this study aims to examine how the location behavior of firms in core industries of the 4th Industrial Revolution has changed from 2010 to 2019 in the Seoul metropolitan area, using the 「National Business Survey」 data. We employed two methods based on spatial auto-correlation: (i) spatial kernel density estimation analysis and (ii) local Moran's I_i analysis. The results indicate that the core industry firms form more distinct and larger clusters in 2019 based on the clusters formed in 2010. Specifically, manufacturing industry firms tended to concentrate in the southern region of Gyeonggi and parts of Seoul, while serivce industry firms were more concentrated in Seoul. These core industries play a critical role in industries and are closely related to the ICT industries, which generate high-added value and increase productivity in the front and rear industries. This study reveals that the agglomeration of these industries in specific regions is intensifying and may exacerbate regional inequality.

본 연구는 유동성 제약이 가족기업과 비가족기업의 투자 지출에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 실증분석 하였다. 가족기업은 위험회피성향이 크고 기업의 성과와 명성을 중시하여 대리인 비용이 적을 것으로 예상되어 현금흐름이나 유동성 제약이 투자에 미치는 영향이 작을 것으로 기대 되었다. 유동성 제약이 기업 투자지출에 가족기업과 비가족기업이라는 지배구조 형태 별로 어떻게 달리 영향을 미치는가를 분석하기 위하여, 644 개의 한국거래소 상장기업에 대하여 2000년부터 2010년 까지 기업 재무 테이터를 사용하여 시계열 횡단면 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 가족기업에서 현금흐름변수는 투자지출에 영향을 미치지 못한 반면, 비가족기업에서는 현금흐름 변수가 매우 민감하게 양의 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현금흐름이 감소하여 유동성 제약에 직면하면 대리인 문제가 큰 비가족기업의 경우 투자는 크게 감소하나, 대리인 문제가 크지 않은 가족기업에서는 투자지출이 유동성 제약에 영향을 받지 않는다는 것을 시사한다. 이러한 연구로부터의 의의는 현금흐름에 대한 투자의 민감도가 기업의 유동성 제약 여부를 나타내는 유용한 지표가 될 수 있다는 점이다.

Korea has shown a tremendous leap in economic development in a short span of time, and the world is watching Korea's economy with keen interest. Development of industries that are implementing information systems (IS) has played a role in leading economic growth in Korea. Because of the success of Korean firms, the creation of case studies for implementing IS in Korean firms was attempted. Despite the many case studies, analysis of the motivations and results, for implementing IS as a firm's strategic purpose, was rarely conducted. Therefore, this paper investigates some Korean firms' cases studies in order to show the best practice example of implementing and adopting IS strategically. Nine cases of Korean firms' strategic use of IS were analyzed in various industry fields. Each case consists of the following four categories: company overview, background implementing IS, adoption of IS for strategic purpose, and the results of implementing IS. In order to help various companies to take an action with their IS implementation and its strategic use, implications from the cases are summarized to show how Korean firms strategically introduced IS for solving particular problems that they had faced.

본 연구는 벨지움의 Liege지방을 사례로 산업단지의 변화추세를 고찰하였다. 교외지역의 산업단지 입지는 고속도로와 도심지역에의 접근성, 우호적인 사회적 분위기와 쾌적한 자연환경을 중요시한다. 1970년대부터는 제조업과 서비스업이 공존하는 중소규모의 산업단지 개발이 일반적이며, 전략적 위치에는 사무업단지, 서비스업단지, 과학연구단지 등이 개발된다. 산업단지는 신설기업보다는 도심지역으로부터 이전하는 기업들로 충당되며 서비스업체들의 입지가 증가하여 산업구조가 다양화되고 있다 도심지역은 제조업체들의 전출로 실업증가, 인구감소, 산업폐허지 증가, 세원감소에 따른 재정악화 등 심각한 문제점이 발생하게 되었고, 이에 지방정부는 도심지역의 제조업 부활을 위한 정책을 실천하고 있지만 아직 그 효과는 미약하다.
