Project logistics is becoming increasingly important in overseas plant projects. Efficient logistics risk management is needed to reduce construction period and reduce costs. However, Korean construction firms bid unconditionally without sufficient experience and analysis on overseas plants contract, companies are gradually losing profitability on projects due to not considering profitability. Despite the significant effects on the profitability of Korean construction companies, and although these companies still continue to bid on overseas plant projects, policies to manage project logistics risks for safe transport and compliance with the contracted building schedule in the long term is still lacking. Hence, this study investigates the risk factors related to project logistics and to analyze the effect of project logistics risk on overseas plant business performance. We conducted a survey of project-related workers. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, among the logistics risk factors, overseas platform business people recognize operational risk and financial risk factors, which have a positive effect directly on overseas plant performance. Second, the ability to manage project logistics risks can have a significant impact on the success or failure of overseas plants. Finally, if logistics risk factors are managed on the basis of the research results confirmed through empirical analysis, it is possible to carry out more efficient and effective management of the project, which implies that this will have a positive effect on overseas plant business performance.

Korean firms have been vigorously searching and exploring overseas market opportunities through export and overseas investment. As of end of 2019, there were more than 80,000 Korean overseas subsidiaries all over the world. With Korean overseas direct investment increasing recently, it became one of the important issues for overseas investors to be successful in the global market. There are a lot of studies on factors influencing the performance of overseas subsidiaries such as 'firm' and 'country' factors. This study empirically examines subsidiary performance determinants with 'industry architectures' by using a sample of 292 overseas Korean firm subsidiaries. Industry architectures are the stable but evolving sets of rules and roles through which labor is divided within a sector. This article considers how industry architectures shape success in international expansion. Industry architectures differ between countries, are not necessarily technologically determined, shape firms' capabilities and their competitive environment, and constitute a distinct level of analysis. We extract antecedents of related theory and empirically test its impact with a survey of Korean firms expanding in emerging economies. We would say this is the first study which tries to focus on industry architectures with the performance of Korean overseas subsidiaries. We find that separability and similarity of industry architectures across countries and localization of subsidiaries are robust and important predictors of success in international expansion. Our results suggest that industry architectures should be added to firm and country as an intermediate level of analysis that helps explain success in international expansion. While we established a pattern, much more remains to be done. We focus on the success of foreign operations, but we do not consider the broader benefits of going abroad, such as the learning or network effects that accrue at the level of the entire firm. The next obvious question is whether the results would differ in the developed market context. These we leave for future research to consider.

Purpose: This study focuses on the buying Korean products by Chinese consumers through overseas direct purchase as a distribution means (tool) because they are interested in Korean products because of their excellence. Major variables are national brand, curiosity, price, product quality. Research design, data, and methodology: To make effective analysis, several tools and programs for analysis are used with SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. Results: National brand, price, product quality have affirmative impacts on satisfaction and repurchase through overseas direct purchase. But curiosity does not have. Among them the most important variable is product quality. This is the same as Chinese consumers think product quality is the most valuable one when buying Korean products through overseas direct purchase. Next one is price. The last one is a national brand. Conclusions: Among the variables of overseas direct purchase, product quality has the biggest impact on satisfaction and repurchase positively. This means that many Chinese consumers are interested in product quality manufactured in Korea. Also Korean product quality is better than that of China until now. Korean companies should, strongly and continuously, have to improve the quality of Korean products because China focuses on product quality in the distribution process in the national base.

While performing the overseas projects in developing countries under EDCF loans with Korean civil design engineers as a project manager, I often used to find out and realize that lots of Korean engineers are not fully aware of what EDCF means and how EDCF funded projects are being implemented in developing countries. This implies that in the past, they have been concentrating on domestic projects only, not to mention have the rare opportunities to work in overseas projects. For these reasons, no wonder they neither pay a careful attention to the unfamiliar terms nor intend to try to realize them, even though such terms are fundamentals and important in overseas design works. With 'something will make it do'-like-attitude in our mind on site, nothing helps us at all. To help those who would like to understand and participate in overseas civil design works in developing countries under EDCF loans either as participants or as a future project manager, I introduce what EDCF means and how the procedure under these loans is being carried out, and they are briefly described herein this paper.

그 동안 코리안 디아스포라에 관한 논의는 이주 배경과 정체성에 대한 것이 주를 이루었다. 이주 과정에서의 적응, 동화, 정체성 등의 제 현상에 대한 연구는 좋은 예이다. 이러한 논의는 미주, 일본, 러시아, 중국 등에 이주한 한인들에 대한 실태 조사와 아울러 다양한 분야에서 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 최근 디아스포라는 더 이상 유랑자가 아니라 해외에 거주하는 유용한 '자원'으로 개념화되고 있다. 본 연구는 코리안 디아스포라가 한민족공동체로서 뿐만 아니라 해외 한인들을 포함하는 글로벌 네트워크의 구축이 절실하다는 인식에서 출발한다. 이를 위해 우선 글로벌 네트워크가 잘 구축되어 있는 유대인 네트워크와 화교 네트워크의 특성을 검토한다. 이들은 전 세계 곳곳에 사람과 자본을 심어 놓은 이른바 현지화 세계화 전략을 꾸준히 전개해 왔다는 점에서 중요한 예가 되기 때문이다. 이를 기반으로 본 연구는 해외 한인을 묶을 수 있는 네트워크의 구축이 어떻게 진행되어 왔는지, 문제점은 무엇인지 그리고 발전방안에 대한 논의를 진행시키고 있다. 전 세계에 퍼져 있는 해외 한인을 연결시켜 주는 글로벌 네트워크의 구축이야 말로 21세기 무국경 무한경쟁시대를 헤쳐 나갈 수 있는 지름길이기 때문이다.

최근 해외사업은 민간자본을 유입하여 SOC 사업을 발주하는 형태의 사업들이 증가추세이기 때문에, 해외건설 글로벌 기업들은 해외수주전략을 이에 맞게 수립하여 진출할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 개발도상국가의 PPP 역량 평가모델을 개발하여 국내 해외건설기업들이 해외진출 전략을 수립하는데 활용하고자 한다. PPP 역량평가모델은 선행연구 고찰과 해외건설전문가 면담조사를 통하여 PPP 역량평가 항목과 인프라 환경 역량평가 항목과 중요도를 분석하였다. 상기 분석결과와 전문가 조사를 통하여 해외건설기업의 PPP시장 진출시 문제점과 개선방안을 제안하였다. 특히 우리나라의 해외건설기업들이 PPP사업 진출 가능성이 높은 국가는 PPP 제도 수준이 성숙하고, 건설리스크가 낮고, 인프라 시장규모와 성장률이 높은 진출환경이 양호한 국가가 선정되었다. 또한 해외건설PPP 시장진출시 문제점으로는 PPP 투자 경험부족, PPP역량 및 인프라 환경 정보부족, PPP 전문가 부족이 도출되었고, 개선방안으로 단독진출보다는 국내외 업체와 협력하여 진출하고, PPP 사업진출 국가 환경에 맞는 사업에 맞게 진출하는 것을 제안하였다. 또한 PPP 금융 및 계약전문가의 확보를 위한 교육과정 개발과 각 국가별 PPP 정보 제공하는 방안을 제안하였다. 이러한 결과는 해외건설기업이 해외건설 시장진출 전략을 제안하여 해외진출 전략과 정책수립에 활용하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the counseling status of overseas Koreans using emergency medical counseling services, identify frequently occurring types of diseases, explore approaches to emergency treatment guidance, and protect overseas Koreans from medical blind spots, thereby enhancing the quality of emergency medical counseling services. Methods: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Kongju National University (KNU_IRB_2023-31), and data were collected and analyzed from 10,951 cases of emergency medical counseling services utilized by overseas Koreans from the National Fire Agency from 2018 to 2022. Results: Emergency medical consultation services for overseas Koreans included a majority of non-trauma patients, with medical consultations being predominant. Terrestrial patients commonly seek advice for internal medical symptoms, whereas maritime patients frequently present with trauma-related symptoms, with a higher incidence of cardiac arrest and altered consciousness cases at sea. The development of self-diagnostic tests based on internal medicine symptoms is necessary for terrestrial patients, whereas stakeholder education is required for maritime patients. Conclusion: Due to the different types of diseases occurring in terrestrial and maritime patients, emergency medical consultation services for overseas Koreans should be implemented according to the specific characteristics of each patient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and disseminate response manuals that are tailored to medical and trauma-related symptoms.
