It is difficult to transform a blockchain initiative from the feasibility stage to the fully commercialized the technology's products or services, especially considering the significant investment required and the lack of studies on the benefits and barriers from deployment perspective. Whereas some organizations have come up with their own solutions to moving beyond the feasibility stage, commercial applications do not yet exist and few organizations are willing to invest beyond the prototype phase and fill in the gap between the expected and actual business value of these types of projects. This study aims to develop a blockchain model using a survey to gather qualitative data on experts' opinions on the deployment of blockchain technology. Our model will measure how business professionals could take advantage of blockchain's disruptive technology to develop business opportunities. This study's contribution is to show blockchain technology's potential strategic business value. The findings from this exploration include the prospective for delivering comprehensions to businesses for different creating investment choices on the embracing of the blockchain technology.

This study aims to grasp invisible yet dynamic systemic structure that influences the general procedure of national R＆D investment system in Korea using "system dynamic methods and to suggest policy lever. Various conflicting situations, 'R＆D investment paradoxes' in myopia investment and principal-agent problems etc, arise when the government decides R＆D investment area and makes indispensable choice. Difficulty in the decision can be amplified due to misalignments among decision on adequate amount of R＆D investment ("strategic loop"), R＆D system ("structural loop") and acceptance and realization by R＆D laboratories and theirs researcher ("efficacy loop"). Results of modeling and simulation of korea national R＆D investment system with consideration of three causal loops show the switching pattern dynamically, in which form of technologies shifts from one to another stage like paradigm shift, when the R＆D investment reaches a certain stork. R＆D investment increases are directly not liked to R＆D productivities because of delays and side effects during transition periods between different stages of technology development. Thus, It is necessary to develope strategies in order to enhance efficiency of technological development process by perceiving the switching pattern.

It is said that global business education in Korea must be a kind of good investment on the future of Korea, because Korea's degree of dependence upon global trade is very high. But, despite great significance of trade in economic aspect, education system on global business in Korea still remains in old paradigm focused mainly on trade in goods. The purpose of this paper is to analyse key environment of trade in Korea relating to global business education system, and to suggest some trade-friendly measures to improve the global economic environment being worse. Methodology used in this study depends on descriptive analysis by literature study. As all the paradigm of global business has shifted from 20C's trade environment to that of 21C's and still more borderless trend has progressed, it is high time Korea to design the new education system of global business to conform with the trade mode of Korea, and to execute the mode of strategic trade which is new conception of trade strategy derived from Web 2.0 trend. Major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : It is suggested that Korea should convert basic composition of trade strategy to strategic trade irrespective of company size, nationality, public or private sector, etc., and launch new instructional model considering the trade 2.0 concepts. Also, Korea's trade policies which have been based on 'trade in goods' should be changed to the frame of strategic trade so that can include various trade process such as trade in services, trade in technology, cultural contents, global investment(TRIMs), TRIPS, etc.

In recent years, in response to rapid technological change, technology planning activities are important for companies to cope with technological competition. However, Small and Medium Enterprises(SMEs) lack the resources and competence to establish their own technology roadmaps. Therefore, government-led roadmaps for SMEs have been proposed to support the R&D direction and R&D capabilities of SMEs. However, SMEs R&D policies are still not well linked with technology roadmaps and R&D programs. In other words, the size of R&D for SMEs is determined according to demand of SMEs regardless of strategic technology roadmap. In this study, we propose a investment prioritization model based on a technology road map to unify R&D investment policy. Using the decision model designed to prioritize strategic technology investments in the SME strategy roadmap, we conduct empirical analysis of strategic technologies in the advanced convergence and green manufacturing. AHP analysis was conducted after questionnaires on the importance of strategic technology and the importance of influential factors to 46 experts such as expert of research institutes and support organizations.

This research is about global investment for managing the important position, what Korea is doing in World's main market. Considering there are some differences between developed countries' model and developing countries' model in doing direct overseas investment, they target to get political agreement and develop the new invest plan and strategy by understanding changes of Korean manufacturing companies in direct overseas investment between 2001 and 2008 and analyzing the change of yearly investment motivation. The result from this result let us know that company should develop their own idea for their competitive advantage by doing direct overseas investment. And, the overseas investment, which was already done in other countries, 1. Review its realities and tendency in terms of investing countries, industries, and its scale and then Set up an actual model, based on strategic combination of investing location select and determination of Korean manufacturing companies. 2. Analyze how the situational factors have influenced and what factors would be considered for direct overseas investment. From the analyzing result, even though it is fairly true that raising wage and getting resources, and developing alternating industries for export had influenced at the beginning, overseas investing companies' policy will be influenced by the results from studying marketing-pursuit type, local producing and manufacturing by using low-wage people for local sale, and situation for changing investing tendency as service industry.

Recently, financial service industry of Korea started to pay attention to private banking targeting to the rich. However, as the advanced foreign competitors have entered the market, strategic approaches are needed focusing on the general rich rather than the exceptional VIPs. In this paper, we use QFD to provide marketing strategies for Korean financial service providers. Our finding is that ‘intangible service provided by private banker’ and ‘off-line sales’ have marketing priority and ‘investment management’ and ‘value-added service’ follow.
