  • Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to discuss success factors behind ATO distribution channels by examining successful partnerships between producers and alternative trading organizations (ATOs). Research design, data, and methodology - This is a case study, an analytical approach, which illustrates how the partnership between producers and ATOs has strengthened the fair trade and the performance of participants in the trade based on the example of the trading relationship between Beautiful Coffee, an alternative trading organization dealing coffee related products, and the coffee cooperative union (CCU), a coffee producing cooperative in Gulmi, Nepal. Results - Beautiful Coffee in the partnership with HELVETAS empowered small coffee farmers by a successful institutionalization of CCU that consolidated the distribution channel to be more efficient. Also, Beautiful Coffee and its partnership with KOICA have tried to increase productivity and quality of coffee beans. Conclusions - The case of Beautiful Coffee demonstrates that the partnership between producers and alternative trading organizations (ATOs) has benefited the fair trade partners. In other words, Beautiful Coffee's partnerships with a NGO working in the local producing area, HELVETAS, and a government aid agency, KOICA could strengthen the relationship between the producers and the ATO, and thus contributes to the whole distribution channel.

  • Fish is an extremely perishable food product which requires proper handling soon after harvest. The present study was aimed at assessing post-harvest fish losses and preservation practices in Siavonga district, Southern Zambia. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data on post-harvest fish losses and preservation practices from aquaculture producers, artisanal, and commercial fishers. All the fishers who landed on the lakeshore were interviewed, while aquaculture producers were randomly selected based on the information provided by the local department of fisheries. The results of the study revealed that all the fishers experienced post-harvest fish losses at varying degrees with those losing up to 10% of the total catch being in the majority. In contrast, aquaculture producers did not report any post-harvest fish losses. Most aquaculture producers commonly used chilling as preservation practice contrary to artisanal and commercial fishers who commonly used smoking and sun sun-drying respectively. Furthermore, fish product safety and quality control were poorly practiced in the district. Lack of cold storage facilities and fluctuating weather conditions were the major challenges impacting fish post-harvest activities. Therefore, to curb the loss of revenue due to post-harvest fish losses, we propose the introduction of new technology, self-development skills for fishing communities, and enhanced access to refrigeration facilities.

  • The purposes of this study were to review the effects of textiles production on the environment, and to investigate the environmental consciousness and environmental preservation behavior of textile producers. This study was conducted by reference analysis and empirical research. To develope theoretical framework of dimensions of environmental behavior, references concerned were analyzed. And for empirical study, researcher developed a questionnaire based on the free writing by producers and references. The questionnaire included problems about environmental consciousness, environmental behavior, demographic variables, and environmental variables. 135 questionnaires were used for final data analysis. ANOVA and factor analysis were used. The results were as follows: First, the level of global environmental problem consciousness was relatively high. The conscious level of water pollution caused by the waste water from textile mills was the highest, and that of desertation of mountain caused by timber cutting was the lowest. The effects of textile dyers and finishers on the environment were the highest, and that of designers were the lowest. Second, the results of reference analysis showed that the dimensions of textile producers environmental behavior were resource and energy saving, solid waste reduction, and green product production. And the results of empirical study were resource and energy saving, resource reuse or recycling, solid waste reduction, and green product production, and total variances was 62.3%. The practice was the lowest. Third, global environment problem consciousness, environment problem consciousness caused by the textile life-cycle concerned, and clothing seperate-collection or not at residing place were effective on environmental behavior, and 52.45% of environmental behavior was explained with above variables.

  • 드라마 제작에 있어서 스타배우의 기용은 드라마 수익의 중요한 요건인 시청률 확보에 있어서 중요한 원천이 되지만 이와 동시에 드라마 비용 상승의 중요한 원인이 되기도 한다. 그러므로 어떠한 상황에서 스타배우를 기용하는가에 대해 조사하는 것은 드라마 기획 과정에서 불확실성을 관리하는 방식에 대해 파악하는 단서가 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국에서 방영된 텔레비전 드라마를 대상으로 하여 드라마의 스타배우의 기용에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석 대상으로 2014년 1월부터 2017년 12월까지 공중파 방송 3사와 케이블 방송사에서 방영이 완결된 288편 드라마를 선정하였다. 스타배우 기용에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 드라마의 방영기간, 즉 드라마의 횟수에 주목하였으며 원작 유무, 외주제작 여부와 PD의 수상 경력의 조절효과도 조사하였다. 그 결과 단편드라마의 경우 스타배우가 기용되며 특히 원작이 존재하는 단편드라마가 원작이 있는 경우에 스타배우를 더욱 기용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 광고 수익의 가능성이 큰 스타배우를 기용하는 것에 따르는 높은 출연료의 부담을 덜기 위한 불확실성 감소의 수단으로 방영기간이 짧고 스토리가 검증된 원작을 사용하는 드라마 제작이 이루어지는 것으로 해석된다.

  • The features of special brand eggs are growing more and more diverse and it is hard to draw a clear distinction between these and ordinary (no-brand) eggs. Special brand eggs range from those with objectively recognizable characteristics to those given only an unsubstantial product image and price differentials are among them great, too. The relation between product features and prices is unclear. Special brand eggs are the commodity whose characteristics are the vaguest of all livestock products. Farm's brand eggs produce a high profitability to producers is they are directly sold to consumers, by, for example, home-delivery service. But if they are sold to supermarkets, etc., producer's (poultry farmer's) income becomes lower by the amount of distributors' margin, reducing the profitability substantially. Thus how to increase the ration of retailing is important for farmers to secure a high profit. The sales strategies of poultry are the combination of two elements, that is, new product development (product differentiation) and creation of new market. But it is difficult for special brand egg producers to develop products with clear characteristics (use value) distinct form ordinary eggs and so these producers depend on the factors of appearance, such as the color of egg shells and package. Special brand eggs manage to keep their marketable value by the combination of the few product features and product image. Thus NB eggs from feed producers have a great market-ability since they can take advantage of the power of patents and TV commercials. However, market differentiation affects profitability much more than product features and price gaps are very wide between directly sold and wholesaled eggs. The producers of special brand eggs have come to the turning point where they have to decide whether they will content with being the subcontractors for NB and PB eggs or they will continue to keep their independence in production and marketing.

  • 소프트웨어 제작자들이 불법복제로부터 그들의 제품을 보호하기 위해 노력하는 것처럼 콘텐츠 제작자들도 사용자간 불법 콘텐츠 공유를 규제하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 시도가 과연 저작권자의 권익을 보호하고 그들의 수익을 극대화할 수 있는 근본적인 해결책이 될 수 있을 것인지에 대하여 경제적 측면에서 논의한다. 이를 위해 불법 콘텐츠 공유에 대한 규제가 제작자의 수익에 미치는 효과를 파악하기 위한 분석적 모형을 개발하고 규제와 비 규제하에서 콘텐츠 제작자의 수익극대화를 위한 최적 조건을 제시한다. 분석결과, 정품 콘텐츠와 불법 복제 콘텐츠간의 충분한 차별화가 어려운 경우에는 불법 복제의 규제가 긍정적인 효과를 줄 수 있으나 정품 콘텐츠와 불법 복제 콘텐츠 사이에 충분한 차별화가 가능한 경우에는 오히려 규제가 없는 경우에 저작권자의 수익이 극대화되는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구는 한국 TV 드라마 제작 산업을 대상으로 하여 환경 변화에 따른 드라마 제작자의 대응 전략 변화를 분석하였다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 전략적 상황이론에 근거하여, 상이한 환경특성을 가진 두 시기 사이에 드라마 제작자들이 제작한 드라마의 장르 다양성 수준에 차이가 있는지를 검증하였다. 실증분석결과, 안정적인 환경특성의 시기(1994년-2002년)보다 불확실성이 높은 환경특성의 시기(2003년-2009년)에 장르 다양성 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 드라마 제작자가 안정적인 환경에서는 동일한 장르를 반복적으로 활용하여 효율을 추구하는 반면, 불확실한 환경에서는 장르의 다양성을 높여 혁신을 추구하는 방식으로 환경특성에 적합한 전략을 사용한다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out the difference in the priority level of recognition for universal design application in public spaces by gender. Method: ANOVA(analysis of variance) and post-hoc test were conducted to determine the priority level of recognition and pattern for the disabled, non-disabled, and experts classified into males and females. Results: There was no gender difference in the comparison by sector for all males and females. However, in comparing of domains and facilities, women showed a higher level of recognition than men in the building sector and cross domain. When comparing space consumers and producers by dividing them into male and female groups, women showed a higher level of recognition than men in producers, but there was no gender difference between consumers. In comparison by sector, domain and facility, women producers also showed a higher level of recognition in the road sector, park and recreation sector, sidewalk domain, four-spaces in the park and recreation sector, and six-spaces in the building sector than men producers. Also, in the building sector, women producers and consumers showed a higher recognition level than men. Comparing the disabled, non-disabled people and experts by dividing them into male and female groups, in the case of non-disabled people and experts, women showed a higher level of recognition than men, while men showed a higher level of recognition than women in the disabled. In addition, there were differences in recognition patterns in many spaces and facilities by gender. Implications: This study is meaningful in comparing the differences in the priority level of recognition and patterns between men and women to apply universal design for people of all ages and both sexes.
