  • The core of this research studies the strategic alliance of airlines, container shipping liners, and port operators that have shown successful results through the recent differentiated strategic Alliance Network, although a difference of scale exists between these firms and the small and mid-sized International Logistics firms, but because of the worldwide traditional Alliance Network of International Logistics firms, HTFN's(High Tech Forwarder Network) half hearted attitude and the small scale alliance of the small and mid-sized International Logistics firms organized in 1998 cannot breakthrough the present strenuous situation. And these results, creating an attempt to save our country's International Logistics Industry which have fallen into depression, suggests an awakening of a new strategy based on specialized nationals innovative IT-which does not exist in the world market-by categorizing our country's small and mid-sized International Logistics firms which are active worldwide.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 IT 탐색 및 활용 역량과 운영기술 역량이 조직 민첩성에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하는 것이다. 최근 경쟁이 심화되고 정보기술의 급격한 변화로 고충을 겪고 있는 국내 중소 물류기업을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. IT 탐색 및 활용 역량과 조직 민첩성에 관련된 선행연구들을 바탕으로 이론적으로 인정을 받은 기존 연구 모형을 본 연구에 맞게 수정하여 채택하였고 이에 따라 연구 가설을 제시하였다. 실증적인 연구방법을 채택하여 2018년 국내 중소물류기업들로부터 설문지를 회수하였고 설문 데이터의 신뢰성과 타당성을 검증하고, 연구 가설을 검정하였다. 연구결과는 IT 탐색 및 활용 역량이 운영기술 역량을 강화하고 다시 운영기술 역량이 조직 민첩성을 향상시킨다는 결론을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 기존 문헌을 바탕으로 제시된 연구 모형이 최근 시점에서도 여전히 유효한지를 확인하였고 그 이론이 국내 중소 물류기업에도 적용된다는 점을 확인함으로써 IT 탐색 및 활용 역량과 조직 민첩성에 관련된 연구의 일반화에 기여했다는 점에서 공헌을 찾을 수 있다. 실무적으로는 국내 물류 중소기업의 조직 민첩성을 향상시키기 위하여 새로운 정보기술을 탐색하고 이미 도입한 정보기술을 잘 활용하는 두가지 노력이 병행되어야 한다는 점에서 기업의 실무 담당자들과 물류산업을 활성화하려는 정부 정책 담당자들에게 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

  • Logistics companies distinguish between medium-sized business and small business according to the size of enterprises. Of course, conglomerates are called global corporations. In this study, mid-sized companies over a certain size or more and those below are classified and decide the priorities among important factors to secure competitiveness in logistics companies are determined through AHP technique. Mid-sized companies are companies that can provide more than two logistics services. For example, they provide warehousing and transportation services in the same time. small companies are companies that can mostly provide one functional service. Warehousing, transportation, manpower, and information are listed as factors in this study. As a result of the study, medium-sized companies emphasized on the importance of transportation. When it comes to small companies, warehousing was emphasized as an important factor. Due to the simultaneous and contemporary service of warehousing and transportation in small-sized company, the reliable image of the company will be underestimated in case of delays in transportation. Competitiveness will also be weakened. Global corporations or conglomerates will start to consider relocating warehousing areas to others except for the central storage hub. They won't plan to invest directly, either. Therefore, it will be possible to secure competitiveness by providing the function of warehousing and to signed easily partnership.

  • This work investigates how domestic or foreign ERP affects the relationship between risks associated ERP implementation and intention to adopt risk-mitigating options. We propose three risks such as ERP vendor risk, economic risk, and security risk should affect positively the intention to adopt the risk-mitigating options. To validate the impact of risks and to examine the difference between domestic and foreign ERP, we collected data from IT managers in small and medium sized logistics companies in South Korea using survey questionnaires. We validate the difference between domestic ERP and foreign ERP using multiple regression analyses. We find that IT managers using domestic ERP are willing to adopt risk-mitigating options for economic and security risk. In contrast, we find that IT managers using foreign ERP are willing to adopt risk-mitigating options for ERP-vendor risk. This work may provide IT managers in logistics industry a practical guideline of choosing either domestic or foreign ERP based on their risk preferences.

  • With the rapid growth of e-logistics in the global logistics industry, it is important to gain further insight into this growing segment of Chinese logistics industry. The current situation in China consists of many small and medium-sized logistics firms. Furthermore, e-logistics is still relatively undeveloped in the majority of the Chinese logistics companies and presently there are still many problems unresolved. This paper attempted to review the concepts and theoretical background of e-logistics systems from previous studies. After acknowledging the essential issues related to e-logistics systems, a research model based on the theory acceptance model was designed and tested. The key factors to the e-logistics system (reliability, maintainability, software, facility and transportation) were validated through the modeling and testing process. Included in the modelling and testing process are other related factors of e-logistics process, logistics information system and added value as dependent variables in this model. The results of this study confirm that the e-logistics Process is affected by transportation, while maintainability and software factors influence logistics information system. reliability, maintainability, facility and transportation are significant factors associated with added value. This research aimed to provide theoretical and practical contribution to Chinese logistics companies and to give some insights into e-logistics system as a whole. The paper also provided some useful theoretical implication and practical guidelines for the development of e-logistics system in the chinese logistics industry.

  • Purpose - It seems common sense that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key driver of business sustainability. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the performance of socially responsible activities, including economic and environmentally responsibility activities, in internationally diversified firms. Design/methodology - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CSR activities on management performance. For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial data such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. Findings - The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group were ranked significantly higher than other groups in management performance. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influenced the total asset net profit ratio and total asset operating ratio. Originality/value - The results suggest that the CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performance in the economic status of Korea, where the degree of export dependency is high.

  • There are two aspects of digital trade: the digitalisation of goods/services being traded and the digitalisation of the transactional act. Digital data (i.e. machine-readable industrial data and transactional data) is the major driving force for both aspects of digital trade. Digital data is a non-rivalrous input, whether for production or marketing activities, and is thus able to be used by many firms or government agencies without limiting the use of others. Digital platforms provide online infrastructure for the interactions between groups, for instance, consumers and producers. The externality effect refers to the situation in which prosperity in one group on a given platform will improve the returns of other groups on the same platform. In the era of the data-driven economy, strategic trade policy can involve data-related policies. The major objective of these policies is to improve the competitiveness of domestic firms. For instance, firms may be subsidised if they use cloud services provided by specific platforms. This strand of strategic trade policies might be useful for increasing the competitiveness of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) via the digitalisation of production/marketing processes. Alternatively, strategic trade policy may also exploit the externality effect via platform economy-related policies. Further, some countries may form data coalitions to facilitate cross-border data flow. This paper uses cases in Asian countries to illustrate which role these strategic trade policies can play in the digital economy.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 국제물류주선업체의 해외 진출 현황과 최근 글로벌 물류시장의 동향을 살펴보고, 급변하는 물류환경 속에서 국제물류주선업체가 글로벌 물류기업으로 성장하고 국제 경쟁력을 확보하기 위한 효과적인 해외시장 진출 전략을 제시해보고자 하였다. 국제물류주선업체의 해외진출 형태를 해외파트너와 해외자회사 형태로 분류하여 분석하였다. 두 유형 보두에서 우리나라 국제물류주선업체들은 주로 극동 및 동남아시아 지역에 집중하여 해외에 진출하고 있으며, 해외파트너쉽에서는 만족도가 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 해외자회사 형태에서는 아직 초기 단계로 다양한 지역에서 해외자회사 수사 그리 많지 않은 실정이며, 본사의 주로 가격 경쟁력 중심으로 사업을 운영하고 있으며, 성과 및 만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 국제물류주선업체의 해외진출 성공전략으로 물류 서비스 특화, 중소 물류업체 간 협업체제 구축, 적합한 국제물류 전문 인력의 확보 육성 그리고 화주-물류동반 진출 등의 전략을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 우리나라 국제물류주선업체의 해외 진출 실태조사를 통해 해외 진출의 정도와 성과를 객관적으로 측정 및 평가하였다는 데 의의가 있다. 또한 실태조사 결과와 해외진출의 SWOT분석을 통해 실제적인 해외진출 전략방안을 제시함으로써, 우리나라 국제물류주선업의 글로벌 경쟁력 제고에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

  • 본 연구는 항만물류산업에 종사하는 조직 구성원들의 이직에 영향을 미치는 요인을 실태 조사하여 그 결과를 인사 관련 실무자들이 현업에서 활용함으로 효율적인 인력관리가 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 것이 연구의제이다. 특히 중소항만물류기업에 업종과 직무에 따라 종사하는 직원들의 이직원인을 조사함으로써 이직요인을 분석하여 이직을 결정하가는 요인들을 개선할 수 있는 직무환경을 조성하고 이직 방지 대책을 실시함으로 잦은 이직을 방지하고 지속적인 근무가 가능할 수 있는 인적자원 관리기법의 개발과 발전방향을 제시하고자 하는 목적을 두었다. 연구 결과, 항만물류기업에서 이직자가 가장 많이 발생한 부서는 현장직 부서로 20.43의 높은 평균값을 나타내었고, 이직자가 발생한 항만물류기업의 인력 채용형태는 경력사원 채용이 64%, 신입사원 채용이 58%로 거의 비슷하게 나타났으며 정규직 채용을 선호하는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 가장 많이 시행하고 있는 이직방지 프로그램은 '임금수준 개선'으로 항만물류기업 중 응답 회사의 53.3%가 시행하고 있었으며 이것을 통하여 항만물류기업들이 일반 기업들과 마찬가지로 장기적인 이직 방지프로그램의 시행보다는 단기적으로 대응하며 자기계발 또는 근로자와 기업이 공동성장하기 위한 환경조성 프로그램 보다는 금전적인 보상에 치우치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 마지막으로 인사담당자가 생각하는 이직 방지 프로그램의 효과정도는 임금 수준 개선이 5.86으로 가장 효과가 있을 것으로 나타났다.
