This study aims to identify and analyze the impact of internal factors on business efficiency of steel firms in Vietnam. The article uses data collected from the financial statements of 26 steel firms operating in Vietnam between 2012 and 2019. With the application of E-view software in quantitative analysis to build regression models on the table data (panel data), and the study has built a regression model identifying the relationship and impact level of internal factors affecting business efficiency of steel firms in Vietnam. In the study, the dependent variable is business efficiency, determined by the profit after tax on the firm's assets. The independent variables are firm size, growth rate, capital structure, ratio of long-term assets, receivables management, and solvency. The research results show that the four factors of firm size, growth rate of assets, receivables management, and solvency have a positive impact on business efficiency, while two factors including capital structure and ratio of long-term assets do not affect business efficiency of enterprises. The results of this article are very useful for corporate executives in general and for financial managers in particular, helping managers make the right financial decisions for the company to promote business efficiency of the company.

This study empirically tests post-M&A performance through competitiveness variables based on extensive firm-based panel data over the past 26 years in the world steel industry. Different measures of profitability, productivity, efficiency, market share, and growth rate which are considered as critical factors of competitiveness are used in the analysis. In particular, this paper tries to separate M&A samples into two cases; horizontal integration (between steel makers) and vertical integration (between steel makers and iron ore suppliers/steel consuming firms). Merged firms show significant improvement in competitiveness relative to other individual firms in the steel industry.

Steel industry in Korea is a key national industry that has led economic growth for a long time. And accidents occurred from a variety of causes has endlessly made as much as remarkable achievements of steel industry. It is a fact that research achievements of disaster prevention in steel industry has not been significantly, compared to production technique achievements. And the level of interest on safety management in the steel industry is conspicuously low. Although support activity for a various safety management are provided reasonably to prevent disasters occurring with subcontractors. A method capable of quantitative evaluation, applied to subcontractors in most business places are relatively rare except parent firms-leading places. This study is to make and show safety management activities to purcue in advance in conjunction with a parent firm through development of a more systematic and quantitative evaluation model for disaster prevention with steel industry subcontractors, and to contribute to disaster prevention in domestic steel industry through advanced safety management method, by applying a proposed evaluation model of safety management activities as subcontractors in steel industry.

In an oligopolistic market, only a few firms account for most or all of total production, e.g., automobile, steel, and computer industries. For a dynamic oligopolistic market with two firms competing in quantities, we show that supervisory control theory of discrete event systems provides a novel approach to solve the dynamic oligopoly problem with the aim of maximizing the profits of both firms. Specifically, we show that the controllability, observability, and nonblocking property (which are the core concepts in supervisory control theory) are the necessary and sufficient conditions for two oligopolistic firms in disequilibrium to eventually reach equilibrium states of maximizing the profits of both firms.

국내 철강산업에 대해서는 "담합이 오랜 관행으로 정착되었다"라는 인식이 존재하며, 이에 따라 향후 철강산업 담합에 대한 당국의 법 대응도 강화될 것으로 전망된다. 이 경우 법 대응의 정확성 제고도 필수적으로 수반되어야 하는바, 가장 중요한 것은 혐의를 받는 기업이 실제로 담합을 실행했는지를 정확히 식별하는 일이다. 본 연구는 최근 발생한 철스크랩 구매가격 담합 사건을 중심으로, 담합과 무관하게 독자적으로 행동한 기업, 실제로 담합을 실행한 기업 등이 혼재하는 상황에서 혐의를 받은 한 기업이 실제로 담합을 실행하였는지를 검증하였다. 분석 결과는 혐의를 받은 해당 기업이 실제로는 담합을 실행하지 않았다는 추론을 뒷받침하며, 이는 해당 제강사에 대한 당국의 최종 판단과 일치한다. 현실에서는 한 시장에 속하는 기업들 중 일부 기업만이 가담하여 실행되는 담합도 발생하는데, 이 상황에서는 담합 실행 여부에 대해 다툼의 여지가 있는 기업이 존재하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구는 철강산업을 포함한 여러 산업에서, 특히 담합 실행에 대해 다툼의 여지가 있는 개별 기업의 행동 검증을 위한 분석적 가이드가 될 수 있을 것이다.

The objective of this paper is to examine the competitiveness of Korean export firms in EU market. In this study, market share index, RCA index, trade specialization index, and market competitiveness index were used as an analytical tool. On the market share index, Korea had a large market share in the SITC section 7(machinery and transport equipment) market in EU. On the RCA index, Korea appeared to have high export competitiveness in the electrical machinery, apparatus and appliances, n.e.s.(not elsewhere specified[stated]), and electrical parts thereof (77), travel goods, handbags and similar containers(83), textile yarn, fabrics, made-up articles, n.e.s., and related products(65), and iron and steel(67) division. On the trade specialization index, however, Korea appeared to tend to decline generally. On the market competitiveness index, Korea appeared to have competitive advantage in the iron and steel(67), machinery specialized for particular industries(72), office machines and automatic data-processing machines(75), electrical machinery, apparatus and appliances, n.e.s., and electrical parts thereof(77), road vehicles(78), and other transport equipment(79) division; but in 29 divisions, the index indicates that Korean firms' competitiveness was low. Finally, the authors discuss the implications of these findings and offer directions for future study.

As the US's trade deficit with China and China's manufacturing industry has risen rapidly, the US has begun to regulate trade items as part of China's checks. Four rounds of reprisal measures have greatly altered the trade structures of both countries. In particular, Korea, which is highly dependent on the US and China, has been directly affected by US-China trade disputes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of US-China trade disputes on the stock price of Korean export firms by performing an event study. This study analyzed stock price fluctuations for 7 days before and after entry into forced [Please check] retaliatory tariffs on Korean exporters' export items subject to retaliatory tariffs. According to the analysis results, among companies that produce goods with major tariffs imposed on China by the US, such as electronic appliances, semiconductors, machinery, and automobiles, those producing electronics and semiconductor products were positively affected by the tariff incident. Secondly, among the companies producing steel, chemicals, and machinery, which the main tariffs imposed by the United States, companies producing steel and chemicals were negatively affected by the incident due to the stagnation of trade between China and the US. The results of this study suggest future trade policy directions for Korea and help to establish an export strategy for major industries.

우리나라 제조업 부문의 상대적 전력투입비율은 OECD 국가들에 비해 높은 편이며 이는 전력가격이 OECD 평균보다 상대적으로 낮은 데에 기인한다. 또한 전력부문은 한국에서 온실가스 배출의 상당한 비중을 점유하고 있는데, 2018년 기준으로 전력생산의 투입연료로 석탄과 천연가스가 41.9%와 26.8%를 차지하기 때문이다. 따라서 우리나라 제조 부문에서 전력가격을 인상할 필요가 있으나 중소기업이 대기업보다 상대적으로 더 많은 영향을 받을 것이라는 우려가 있다. 본 연구는 시간가변적 파라메터 모형인 Kalman Filter 추정법을 이용하여 철강산업에서 대기업과 중소기업 전력수요의 가격 탄력성과 산출 탄력성을 추정하였다. 분석 결과, 기업의 크기에 상관없이 산출량 변화가 가격변화보다 전력수요에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대기업에서 전력수요에 대한 가격탄력성뿐만 아니라 산출탄력성의 분산이 중소기업보다 더 큰 것으로 추정되었다. 정책적 함의는 철강산업과 같은 에너지다소비 업종에서 어떻게 전력수요를 감축할 것인지에 관련되어 있다.

The ISO 9000 family of international quality management standards were revised on 15 December 2000. The ISO 9001:2000 standard is used for certification/registration and contractual purposes by organizations seeking recognition of their quality management system(QMS). We summarize key contents changed in ISO 9000:2000 family standards. To comply with ISO 9001:2000, we analyze the current QMS for steel outfit industry, using audit results from ISO 9001:1994 for seven steel outfit firms during last three years. We investigate statistical relationships between ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9001:1994 requirements from a three dimensional contingency table with audit results. We observe that the importance of requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 sections makes a difference between companies.
