Purpose: Companies in haste for higher consumers' preference tend to appear as 'green' and mislead about environmental concerns, which are termed as "Greenwashing." The purpose of the study is to investigate the consumer perception on greenwashing activities and analyze its impact on green brand image, green brand loyalty and green brand trust among Indian consumers. Design/methodology: The study makes use of a written questionnaire method to collect survey data from approximately 500 consumers all over India. The study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to study the hypothesized relationship between constructs affected by greenwashing based on consumer perspective in the Indian context. Findings: The study shows that Indian consumers are becoming aware of greenwashing activities, which have a negative impact on green brand trust and undermines green brand image and green brand loyalty. Implications: The study results are beneficial to policy-makers, researchers, practitioners, and managers to create awareness among Indian consumers on greenwashing activities.

Providing free primary care to everyone is an important goal pursued by many countries under universal health care programs. Countries like India need to efficiently utilize their limited capacities towards this purpose. Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, patients incur substantial travel and out-of-pocket expenses for getting primary care from publicly-funded facilities. We propose a set-covering optimization model to assist health policy-makers in managing existing capacity in a better way. Decision-making should consider upgrading centers with better potential to reduce patient expenses and reallocating capacities from less preferred facilities. A multinomial logit choice model is used to predict the preferences. In this article, a brief background and literature survey along with the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) optimization model are presented. The working of the model is illustrated with the help of numerical experiments.

The Korean defense industry was brought up in the government policy since 1970's. The important parts of defense industrial technologies have not been developed, and usually introduced from overseas. Moreover, the development of advanced technologies was not actively stimulated or pursued, consequently shaping the current structure of the defense industry which lacks global competitiveness due to the dearth of high technologies necessary for high-technology weapons. This research analyzes the systems of the Korean defense industry through a systems thinking approach in order to understand the whole mechanism and to find ways to improve the defense industry. Finding some leverages is the main purpose of systems thinking, that yields desirable results with a little effort. The three policy leverages are: (1) the policy for timely fielding; (2) the R&D investment for development and production of domestic high-technology weapons; and (3) the policy measures for exports. The research findings will contribute to the invigorating and developing the Korean defense industry by providing policy-makers and acquisition practitioners with systematic understanding and insight into the dynamics of the defense industry for them to make and execute efficient policies taking into account the Korean overall defense industry.

Demand of spectrum resource is tremendously increasing and this trend will continue as more IT services such as cloud computing, smart devices, Internet of Things are provided through wireless network. Recent development of spectrum sharing technology has drawn attention to spectrum policy makers as a promising way to overcome the expected spectrum shortage problem. However, technology-based solution to spectrum shortage problem may not be sustainable since the solution affect only one aspect of spectrum sharing ecosystem. To understand the whole picture of spectrum shortage problem, policies to vitalize spectrum sharing ecosystem were proposed based on the analysis of System Dynamics causal map in the previous study. This study compares and analyzes the effect of those proposed vitalization policies by using System Dynamics simulation. Among seven alternative policies, combined application of demand acceleration policy and technology development policy was found to be more effective for better utilization of spectrum. The effect of demand acceleration policy was offset when other policies are applied together except supply acceleration policy which shows better spectrum sharing.

광고정책은 새로운 방송사업자가 등장할 때마다 광고 유형별 진입장벽을 만들어 안정적인 성장 기반을 제공하는 방식으로 변해왔다. 하지만 지속적인 광고시장 위축은 광고 유형별 진입장벽을 제거할 수밖에 없는 상황을 초래하고 있다. 광고 유형별 진입장벽 해체는 제작주체들로 하여금 광고 획득을 위한 과잉 경쟁 상황에 빠져들게 함으로써 제작비를 상승시키는 악순환 과정을 유발한다. 자유경쟁 시장 상황에서 발생하는 문제를 해결하는 방법은 냉혹한 시장 원리에 방송 제작산업을 개방해두는 것이다. 시장에 존재하는 제작주체들의 적절한 수를 결정하는 것은 시장 자체의 기능이다. 따라서 경쟁에서 도태되는 제작주체들은 시장에서 퇴출되는 체계를 구축해야 한다. 또한 궁극적으로 수신료 기반의 공영방송은 광고를 금지하는 방향의 정책적 대안 마련이 필요하다.

Health technology assessment (HTA) is defined as multidisciplinary policy analysis to look into the medical, economic, social, and ethical implications of the development, distribution, and use of health technology. Following the recent changes in the social environment, there are increasing needs to improve Korea's healthcare environment by, inter alia, assessing health technologies in an organized, timely manner in accordance with the government's strategies to ensure that citizens' medical expenses are kept at a stable level. Dedicated to HTA and research, the National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency (NECA) analyzes and provides grounds on the clinical safety, efficacy, and economic feasibility of health technologies. HTA offers the most suitable grounds for decision making not only by healthcare professionals but also by policy makers and citizens as seen in a case in 2009 where research revealed that glucosamine lacked preventive and treatment effects for osteoarthritis and glucosamine was subsequently excluded from the National Health Insurance's benefit list to stop the insurance scheme from suffering financial losses and citizens from paying unnecessary medical expenses. For the development of HTA in Korea, the NECA will continue exerting itself to accomplish its mission of providing policy support by health technology reassessment, promoting the establishment and use of big data and HTA platforms for public interest, and developing a new value-based HTA system.

Although artificial intelligence(AI) is a key technology in the digital transformation among the emerging technologies, there are concerns about the use of AI, so many countries have been trying to set up a proper regulation system. This study analyzes the cases of the regulation policies on AI in USA, EU and Korea with the aim to set up and improve proper AI policies and strategies in Korea. In USA, the establishment of the code of ethics for the use of AI is led by private sector. On the other side, Europe is strengthening competitiveness in the AI industry by consolidating regulations that are dispersed by EU members. Korea has also prepared and promoted policies for AI ethics, copyright and privacy protection at the national level and trying to change to a negative regulation system and improve regulations to close the gap between the leading countries and Korea in AI. Moreover, this study analyzed the course of policy changes of AI regulation policy centered on ACF(Advocacy Coalition Framework) model of Sabatier. Through this study, it proposes hyper-scale AI regulation policy recommendations for improving competitiveness and commercialization in Korea. This study is significant in that it can contribute to increasing the predictability of policy makers who have difficulties due to uncertainty and ambiguity in establishing regulatory policies caused by the emergence of hyper-scale artificial intelligence.

이 논문은 정책이념(policy ideas)의 관점에서 우리나라 과학기술의 성격과 발전을 검토한다. 제도주의 이론에 따르면 정책이념은 정책형성과 정책변화를 이해하는데 매우 유용하다. 행동 원칙과 인과관계에 대한 지식과 신념이 주요 내용인 정책이념은 그것이 정책참여자의 인지와 정부 제도에 배태되므로 정책목표와 정책수단의 선택, 즉 정책형성에 큰 영향을 주는 것이다. 우리나라 과학기술정책의 이념은 기술민족주의에 바탕을 두고 있는데 이것은 최근에 들어 산업경쟁력 향상의 이념으로 구체화되고 있다. 현대 과학기술기술은 점점 복잡해지고 대규모화되고 있어서 경제 발전에 기여하는 것 못지 않게 자연과 사회에 대해서 심각한 부정적인 외부효과를 가져다주고 있다. 이런 점에서 보면 산업경쟁력 이념에 지배되어 있는 우리나라 과학기술정책은 상당한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 서구 지역의 경우와 같이 우리도 산업경쟁력 이념 못지 않게 삶의 질의 향상과 같은 좀더 사회적이고 생태적인 가치를 추구하는 방향으로 과학기술정책의 변화를 모색할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 국가와 기업에 의해 주도되어 온 과학기술정책의 형성에 시민사회가 적극적으로 참여하는 길이 모색되어야한다.
