Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze Korea's trade relations centered on the Pacific Alliance (PA), a major economic integration in Latin America, and identify its problems and suggest measures that can be taken by the government and corporations to reinforce economic cooperation. Design/methodology/approach - To improve the level of contribution of the study, an empirical analysis is necessary. However, due to limited data access, the study will approach the topic of trade relations between Korea and the PA with various statistics and literature. Findings - First, there is an urgent need for changes in import-export goods between Korea and the PA, as trade is focused on specific items. Second, although foreign direct investment from Korea to the PA is centered in manufacturing and mining industries, there should be different investment strategies by countries and industries. Third, it is necessary to reinforce commercial cooperation. Korea currently has Free Trade Agreements with Chile, Peru, and Columbia, but not with Mexico, the largest trading partner among the PA. Therefore, Korea must take active measures to sign an FTA with Mexico, which has been put on hold. Research implications or Originality - Latin America has the most thriving market when it comes to Free Trade Agreements worldwide. With the official establishment of the Pacific Alliance (PA) in 2012, the economic integration of Latin America faced entirely new circumstances. Reinforcing economic cooperation with the PA is extremely important for Korea in terms of entering and dominating the Latin American market. However, there is still a lack of research on the Pacific Alliance, and corporations that aim to enter the Latin American market face difficulties due to lack of information. By investigating the Pacific Alliance and its prospects and analyzing the trade relations with Korea, this study will provide strategic measures for corporations that wish to enter the Latin American market.

In this paper, we develop three stage non-cooperative game models to analyze the alliance strategies of companies in internet markets where network effects are present. Regardless of its market share, an internet company's strategic alliance appears to be a superior strategy. The analysis also identifies profit sharing structures in the internet market where a smaller and unknown company is enforced to split its own profits with a larger and well-known company. It is shown that the amount of profit sharing grows as the size of network effects becomes larger.

This study investigated the current status and characteristics of strategic alliances attempted by domestic internet businesses. Specifically, this study surveyed competitive environmental characteristics of partner companies involved, alliance period, types of partner companies, motives of alliances, types of alliances, success and failure factors and satisfaction toward the alliances. Major findings were: first, alliances between portal companies and content producers; portal companies and internet services; e-commercial sites and internet services were the most frequent partnerships engaged. Second, the most important motive for and type of the strategic alliance were: 'the commercialization and marketing of new product' and 'joint distribution and marketing agreement' respectively. Third, the most important factor for the successful alliance was 'a close examination of partners' core business value and competence'; and the factor most hindering the successful alliance was 'a discrepancy on capabilities of partners' core personnel. Finally types of internet business were significantly related to perceived satisfaction toward strategic alliance.

Previous studies on strategic alliance formation have largely overlooked the effects that organizations' routine development can have on the relationship between organizations' network position and their alliance ambidexterity strategy. This study extends ambidexterity research by adding internal and network perspectives and examining their cumulative effects on alliance ambidexterity. We first acknowledge the interplay between organizations' internal knowledge exploration/exploitation strategies and organizations' alliance ambidexterity and determine that organizations with a high level of internal knowledge breadth are more likely to make focused alliance decisions. Second, our analysis of 145 US-based information technology organizations with an active alliance behavior reveals that having well-formed routines as a result of previous collaborations strengthens the tendency of brokerage organizations to follow alliances that focus on either exploration or exploitation. Although most alliance studies have commonly argued in favor of an ambidextrous approach, this study provides critical evidence that both internal knowledge exploration/exploitation strategies and development of routines constrain organizations' alliance formation decisions, guiding them towards a more focused approach.

지난 66년간 한미동맹은 냉전시기에 미국이 한국에게 안보를 지원하고 한국은 미국에게 정책의 자율성을 일부 양보하는 전형적인 비대칭 동맹이었다. 그러나 이명박 정부는 군사적 성격의 한미동맹을 '포괄적 전략 동맹', '가치동맹'으로, 박근혜 정부는 '협력의 프론티어', '글로벌 파트너십'으로 발전시켰으며, 문재인 정부는 '호혜적·포괄적 동맹'으로의 발전을 국가안보전략에서 밝혔다. 본 연구는 트럼프 행정부의 동맹정책 변화에 따른 한국의 정책적 자율성을 보장하기 위해 한미 동맹정책 발전을 위한 호혜적·포괄적 한미동맹관계 구축 방안을 모색하는 것이 목적이다. 연구에 따른 분석결과는 한미동맹의 호혜적·포괄적 구축을 위해 한국은 미국이 추진하는 '인도-태평양 전략' 참여와 양국의 상호 경제적 이익을 위한 지속적인 외교적 노력 그리고 공공외교 강화의 필요성을 보여 준다.

본 연구는 기업이 전략적 경영활동으로 추진하는 전략적 제휴의 유형 선택에 최고 경영자의 경험특성과 기업이 보유한 여유자원이 미치는 영향을 실증 분석하였다. 이는 단순히 경쟁우위 확보와 성과향상을 위하여 기업이 추진하는 전략적 제휴의 결정요인을 규명하는 것을 넘어 제휴의 유형을 구분하고 이러한 전략적 선택에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 2020년 벤처기업정밀실태조사 자료를 활용하여 로지스틱 다중회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 벤처기업 최고 경영자의 학력 수준이 높고, 대기업 근무 경험을 가진 경우 탐색적 유형의 제휴를 추진하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 최고 경영자가 가진 과거 창업 경험은 전략적 제휴 유형 선택에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 벤처기업이 보유한 여유 자원 중에서는 활용가능여유와 잠재여유가 많을수록 탐색적 제휴에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 회복가능여유는 탐색적 제휴에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 활용적 제휴에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 학술적 측면에서 전략적 제휴와 관련한 논의를 최고경영자이론 및 여유자원과 연계하여 변수의 영향력을 검증함에 따라 이론적 논의를 확장하는데 기여하였다. 또한, 정책적 측면에서 벤처기업을 위한 개방형 혁신활동 지원정책 수립 및 운영과정에서 기업이 보유한 여유 자원의 유형별 수준이 고려되는 경우 보다 정책효과성을 제고할 수 있다는 시사점을 제공한다.

Recently, many internet firms have opted the strategic alliances with other on/off-line firms in order to gain and sustain their competitive advantages. Previous research on market reaction to such alliances, however, shows mixed results. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze the announcement effects of the alliances among internet firms in the stock market. Focusing on on-line firms that have been outside the scope of previous research, this study applied the event study methodology and examined the cumulative abnormal returns(CAR) for 245 alliance announcements between October 1998 and May 2002. Further, this study conducted a survey to categorize various types of announcements and 40 usable returns has been analyzed. The notable results from this study include: 1) The strategic alliances announcements do not have statistically positive effects on stock prices of the announcing firms. 2) Contrary to the results of the previous research, the CARs associated with marketing alliances are higher than those with technology alliances. 3) The degree of fitness among firms' disposition, their alliance purpose, and alliance type chosen influences the performance of their alliances.

Despite the importance of multinational service ventures' alliances with local firms for CSR engagement, research is little interested in this issue. Because many multinational service ventures have increasingly allied with local firms for their CSR performance, it is important to explain the role of the alliance between a multinational service venture and a local firm. Our study addressed an issue of multinational service ventures' CSR performance through alliances with local firms. Based prominently on the resource-based theory of the firm, the competence-based theory of the firm, and the resource-adavantage theory of competition, we attempted to predict how a multinational service venture can be successful in CSR engagement based on an alliance with a local firm. Our study posited that local firms' CSR knowledge and CSR orientation positively influence multinational service ventures's CSR capabilities. In addition, we posited the positive moderating roles of alliance competence in the relationships between local firms' CSR resources and multinational service ventures' CSR capability. Moreover, our study posited that multinational service ventures' CSR capability is a source of competitive advantage. Finally, we concluded this manuscript with a discussion of scholarly and managerial implications, limitations of the study, and directions for a further study.

본 논문은 사회적 기업의 경제적 성과와 사회적 역량 간의 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 사회적 기업은 양립하기 쉽지 않은 경제적 가치 창출과 사회적 가치 창출의 동시 추구를 목표로 하는 특징을 가진다. 본 연구는 어떠한 조건에서 두 가지가 서로 양립하여 정(+)의 상관관계를 이루는지 연구하였다. 특히, 사회적 기업의 중요한 두 가지 사회적 역량인 사회적 정체성과 사회적 협업 관계가 어떻게 사회적 기업의 경제적 성과에 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 한국사회적기업진흥원에 인증된 사회적 기업의 경영공시자료를 토대로 회귀분석을 통하여 가설검증을 하였다. 사회적 기업의 사회적 정체성에 부합하는 사회 가치 투자 활동은 사회적 기업의 경제적 성과에도 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 사회적 협업 여부 자체는 기업의 경제적 성과에 유의미한 영향을 미치지는 못하지만, 협업 파트너 기관의 조직적 특성과 사회적 기업의 협업 수혜 수용도를 함께 고려했을 때 사회적 협업 관계가 사회적 기업의 경제적 성과에 미치는 중요성을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 사회적 기업의 두 가지 본질 가치를 동시에 제고시킬 수 있는 실질적인 방안을 제시함으로써 사회적 기업의 전략연구 분야에 시사점을 제공한다. 끝으로 본 논문의 한계점과 그에 따른 향후 연구방안을 제시하였다.

Northeast Asia has a multi-layered security structure within which major economic and military powers both confront one another and cooperate at the same time. Major regional powers maintain mutually cooperative activities in the economic sphere while competing one another in order to secure a dominant position in the politico-military arena. The multifarious threats, posed by the North Korea's nuclear development, territorial disputes, and maritime demarcation line issues demonstrate that Northeast Asia suffers more from military conflicts and strifes than any other region in the world. Specifically, major maritime security threats include North Korea's nuclear proliferation and missile launching problems as well as military provocations nearby the Northern Limit Line(NLL) as witnessed in the Cheonan naval ship and Yeonpyong incidents. The ROK Navy has been supplementing its firm military readiness posture in consideration of North Korea's threats on the NLL. It has performed superb roles in defending the nation and establishing the Navy advanced and best picked. It also has been conducive to defend the nation from external military threats and invasion, secure the sea lanes of communications, and establish regional stability and world peace. In order to effectively cope with the strategic environment and future warfares, the ROK Navy needs to shift its military structure to one that is more information and technology intensive. In addition, it should consolidate the ROK-US alliance and extend military cooperative measures with neighboring countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Evolved steadily for the last 60 years, the ROK-US alliance format has contributed to peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the Northeast Asian region. In conclusion, this manuscript contends that the ROK Navy should strive for the establishment of the following: (1) Construction of Jeju Naval Base; (2) Strategic Navy Equipped with War Deterrence Capabilities; (3) Korean-type of System of Systems; (4) Structure, Budget and Human Resources of the Naval Forces Similar to the Advanced Countries; and (5) Strategic Maritime Alliance and Alignment System as well as Domestic Governance Network for the Naval Families.
