Purpose: The paper contributes to the existing literature on Vietnamese corporate governance and firm performance with a focus on listed family firms and the use of a more suitable econometric framework to analyze firm performance. The study investigates how family firm performance is affected by corporate governance under the standpoint of stewardship theory in Vietnam. Research design, data and methodology: With the use of different measures for firm performance (Tobin's Q, ROA, and ROE), regression models were estimated using Generalized Least Square (GLS) method on a panel data of a total of 113 listed companies during the five-year period from 2015 to 2019. Results: We found that family ownership as the main characteristic of the stewardship theory affects family firms positively. In addition, several other characteristics in corporate governance as board composition (board independence, board audits, and board committees), CEO (age and tenure) and firm characteristics (size, age, expansion, and annual sales) showed significant impacts on firm performance. Our findings also suggest that family firm performance can be either positively or negatively affected based on the characteristics of corporate governance. The findings can help companies evaluate the significance of corporate governance through deciding board structure and the selection of CEOs to match family firm characteristics. It also gives insights for investors, rating agencies, and policymakers for relevant purposes.

Purpose - We study whether the bullwhip effect is prevalent among Korean firms and how the characteristics of it differ from the ones in other countries. Design/methodology/approach - We obtained quarterly financial and operational information on KOSPI-listed firms in manufacturing, wholesale, and retail industries from 2013 to 2019. We explore the variation of the bullwhip effect across firms and validate hypotheses. Findings - First, we find that for the KOSPI-listed firms, the bullwhip effect is more prevalent compared with the production smoothing. We provide additional findings by using sub-samples of manufacturing firms, wholesaling and retailing firms, big-sized firms, small- and medium-sized firms, domestic-sales intensive firms, and export intensive firms. Second, we show that in general, the bullwhip effect of Korean firms increases with the days in inventory or the demand seasonality ratio. However, the persistence of demand shock does not affect the bullwhip effect of Korean firms. Research implications or Originality - We compare our results with those in other studies that use information on the U.S. and Chinese firms. Our findings show that factors explaining the bullwhip effect across Korean firms have similarities and differences compared with firms in the U.S. and Chinese firms.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the appropriate marketing strategies for Korean fashion companies wishing to enter the US market. In-depth-interview with documentary research were performed to investigate the seven Korean fashion companies launching in the US market as wholesalers or retailers. The interviews were executed from May to July 2007. The results of the study were summarized in accordance with Marketing Mix(4P's). In most cases, the brand targets are female customers of 20's to early 30's. The products carried by the companies are trendy with a tint of vintage and oriental feelings. The price ranges from middle to high level. Most brands are engaged in wholesaling through trade shows to sell the merchandise for department stores or specialty stores, but recently are trying to convert to retailing. Trade shows and show rooms are used as one of the promotion tools, but celebrity marketing has also been active for the promotions. Most companies suggested their superior qualities of the products as their strength, and the lack of experience and information as their weakness. Most companies forecast that the influence of FTA between Korea and the US may be limited because of Korea companies' overseas outsourcing system.

본 연구의 목적은 동대문시장의 패션점포와 상품 공급자와의 관계를 이해하는 것이다. 구매자-공급자 관계에 영향을 미치는 요인을 구매자-공급자 관계 요인과 공급자 속성으로 분류하고 신뢰, 몰입, 의사소통, 장기적 전망, 파워 균형, 지리적 근접성, 디자인 능력, 품질, 낮은 가격, 납기 준수의 총 10개 변수를 추출하였다. 패션점포가 어떤 요인을 더 중요하게 인식하고 있는지 그리고 점포특성에 따라 그 중요성 인식에 차이가 있는지 살펴보았으며 공급자와의 거래지속기간에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하였다. 동대문 패션점포 233개로부터 수집한 자료를 분석한 결과, 공급자와의 관계에서 가장 중요하다고 응답한 변수는 납기 준수였으며 그 다음이 지리적 근접성, 디자인 능력 등으로 나타나 구매자-공급자 관계 요인보다는 공급자 속성이 더 중요한 것으로 지각되고 있었다. 점포 특성에 따라 중요도 인식에 차이가 있었는데, 신흥 소매 상권의 점포들이 다른 상권 점포들에 비해 모든 변수들의 중요도를 낮게 인식하고 있었으며 도매위주 점포가 소매위주 점포보다 고매출 점포가 저매출 점포보다 모든 변수를 더 중요하게 지각하였다. 총 영업기간에 따라서는 일부 변수에서 장기 영업점포가 단기 영업점포보다 더 높은 중요도 지각을 보였다 거래지속기간에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 우선 주로 거래하는 점포를 상기 10개 변수로 평가하게 하였는데, 지리적 근접성 신뢰, 디자인 능력, 품질, 의사소통 순으로 높게 평가되었다. 회귀분석 결과 실제 거래해 온 기간에 영향을 미치는 변수는 디자인 능력, 의사소톰, 파워 균형이었으며, 향후 추가로 기대하는 거래기간에 영향을 미치는 변수는 의사소통과 신뢰로 나타났다.

음악을 비롯한 문화는 지역에 뿌리를 두고 있는 문화.예술 및 경제와 관련되므로 지리학적 측면에서 연구되어야한다. 특히 음반산업은 빠르게 전파되는 유행성 문화의 공간적 마산과 관련되며, 산업의 초기단계부터 과학과 기술의 혁신과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 발전해 왔으므로 다양한 관련산업과 연계되어 있으며, 생산되는 상품의 특성 때문에 일반적인 제조업이나 서비스업과 차별화 되는 독특한 생산과 유통구조 및 입지적 특성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라의 음반산업은 대체로 음반기획-음반제작-도매-소매의 유통단계를 거치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 거의 모든 음반산업이 집중되어 있는 서울시를 사례로 음반산업의 공간적 분포라 입지특성을 분석하였다. 음반 산업에 대한 문헌 자료가 매우 미흡한 상태에 머물고 있으므로, 본 연구에서는 직접 현장조사, 면담조사, 설문조사를 통하여 구체적인 자료를 확보하였고, 이를 바탕으로 음반산업의 분포와 입지의 특성을 분석하였다. 음반산업 유통단계별로 살펴보면, 음반기획사의 경우는 방송국 입지에 가장 큰 영향을 받아 여의도와 강남에 집중적으로 입지하고 있으며, 또한 기존의 집중지역인 여의도와 가까워 접근성이 높은 마포지역과, 라이브클럽이 집중되면서 타 지역과의 음악적 차별성을 나타내고 있는 홍대주변지역이 새로운 집적지로 발달하고 있다. 음반제작사는 강남, 도심, 마포, 여의도 순으로 ,많이 입지하고 있는데 음반기획사의 입지와 스튜디오, 음반물 배급업체, 그리고 영상산업 등 관련업체들이 상호 입지에 영향을 주며 공간적으로 집적분포하는 성향을 보인다. 음반도매상의 경우는 종로구, 그 중에서도 특히 종로 3.4가동에 집중되어 있다. 특히 종로 3.4가는 음악과 관련된 각종 상품의 도.소매업체들 집적지로의 특징이 있다. 음반 소매상과 음반대형매장은 10.20대가 주고객층으로 그들이 즐겨 찾는 시설이나 활동들이 모여 있고, 대중교통으로의 접근성(특히 지하철로의 접근성)이 높은 지역에 입지하는 경향을 보인다. 특히 대형음반매장은 지하철 종로역, 강남역, 신촌역, 혜화역, 압구정역 주변이나 용산전자상가 등에 입지하고 있다. 전반적으로 음반산업 관련 업체들은 상호 연관되어 일정한 지리적 기반 위에 집적하는 경향이 강하게 나타나는데 이는 집적기반 내에서의 상호간 정보교환 효과를 누릴 수 있으며, 소비자들의 인지도와 구매의욕을 놓일 수 있기 때문으로 보인다. 음반산업 전반적으로 강남지역에 집적하는 경향을 보이고 있어, 도심과 여의도 등과 함께 강남이 새로운 문화산업의 집적지가 되고 있음을 알 수 있다.
