Purpose: This paper uses the resource-dependency theory to present the case of the Pakistan sugar industry to highlight how the industry uses a strategic alliance to gain a powerful bargaining position over its critical dependencies. The case of the Pakistan sugar industry is well-known and it is common knowledge that the alliance or the cartel within it is responsible for frequent price hikes and sugar supply shortages in the country. Research design, data and methodology: We use a case study, qualitative document analysis design to trace how the alliance overcomes its various dependencies, and in doing so, how does it harm various stakeholder interests. Results: This paper finds that the sugar industry alliance maintains its bargaining power by manipulating sugar supply through horizontal alliances, political affiliations, underselling and under-reporting sugar stocks, purchasing sugarcane from the black market, and by gaining billions of rupees in export subsidies by hoarding stock and using its political connections. Conclusion: The paper concludes by providing a summary of the measures which the government has taken to curb this anticompetitive conduct; the most important of which is the removal of protectionist measures for sugar trade and allowing market forces to control the demand and supply of sugar in the local market.

본 연구에서는 제휴의 전략적 특성, 투입자원의 특성, 의사소통 활동 등의 요인과 관련된 변수들 중 인터넷쇼핑몰과 제 3자 물류와의 전략적 제휴 파트너쉽(신뢰/몰입) 결정요인을 확인하고, 이러한 파트너쉽(신뢰/몰입)과 전략적 제휴 성과간의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 국내 인터넷쇼핑몰 중 제 3자 물류를 이용하고 있는 기업을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 종합해 보면, 국내 인터넷쇼핑몰업체와 제 3자 물류업체간의 파트너쉽(신뢰/몰입)에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 전략적 중요성, 자원의 보완성, 의사소통의 질, 정보공유정도 등으로 확인되었으며, 이러한 신뢰와 몰입으로 대변되는 파트너쉽은 전략적 제휴 성과에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

There is increasing awareness in the international alliance literature that the firm performance effects of the alliance portfolio go beyond the effects of the individual alliances. I enrich this nascent perspective by developing a alliance portfolio composition framework based on the alliance portfolio dimensions - underpinned by the simultaneity of quantitative and qualitative factors in international portfolio - that enhances firms' financial performance. This paper assesses the impact on firm performance of composing the alliance dimension within a firm's international alliance portfolio. In an unbalanced panel data analysis with fixed effects of the performance of 502 firms operating in the Korean manufacturing industry during 2011-2017, I test whether firm's three dimension of international alliance portfolio affect on firm financial performance. I find that the intensity of international alliance have significantly positive effect on the firm performance. And following the moderating analysis of three portfolio dimension-functional, relational, and attribute, all of each three international alliance portfolio has positive moderating effects on the relationship between the alliance intensity and firm performance. These results indicate that firms should consider and form simultaneous approaches to exploit the international alliance based on the alliance portfolio dimensions with intensity of alliance portfolio.

This paper aims to understand and analyze the mega-trends such as trends towards larger vessels due to an increasing trade volume, accordingly fewer port calls, strategic alliances and M&A Increasing degree of concentration through M&A activities in shipping industry results in a decreasing number of shipping finns with an increasing share in the world shipping capacity. But competition is strongly increasing on main trunk routes. Therefore, shipping concentration directly leads to further concentration of port traffic in fewer and larger ports with an increasing competition among neighboring ports.

To gain a national competitive advantage in Northeast Asia, Northeast Asia logistics hub strategy was undertaken by Korean Government. Korean Government had published Northeast Asian Logistics Hub Roadmap including the upbringing of total logistics providers to solve the high logistics cost which weakens the competitive advantage of Korean companies. To solve the high logistics cost, the Government had revised the Korean Physical Distribution Promotion Law for the introduction of certification system of the total logistics provider and enacted the Rules on the Certification of Total Logistics Provider and is going to introduce the certification system of total logistics provider. In this certification system, third party logistics related point is very high, the success in this certification system depends on the strategic alliances of the small and medium size logistics companies. The purpose of this paper is to study certification system of the total logistics provider and contribute to gain the competitive advantage of total logistics provider as global logistics provider.

인터넷산업은 기술, 자본, 마케팅 등의 이유로 활발한 전략적 제휴가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문은 최근 7년간 인터넷 산업의 기업간 전략적 제휴 사례를 조사하여 이를 바탕으로 전략제휴 네트워크화 하였다. 이 네트워크에 대해 연결정도, 밀도, 컴퍼넌트 분석을 수행하였으며, 연결정도의 분포를 분석하여 자연계, 사회시스템 등에서 많이 발견되고 있는 스케일 프리 네트워크의 성질을 갖는 지를 분석하였다. 또한 인터넷 붕괴 이전과 이후의 2기간의 전략적 제휴 네트워크의 변화 정도도 파악 하였다. 이와 같은 네트워크 모델분석은 국내 인터넷산업의 제휴 관계와 그 변화 추세 등을 거시적으로 살펴보는데 도움이 될 것이다.

With the increasing importance of ecosystem in a business environment, the value of open innovation is receiving great attention. Under open innovation, companies open their knowledge, capital, and other resources to cooperating companies; on the other hand, under closed innovation companies depend solely on their own resources. In this paper, we compare closed and open innovation using the simulation method, and confirm that in terms of total capital and production of the industry, open innovation provides greater opportunities to the entire ecosystem. Moreover, Schumpeterian competition, which is a dynamic of closed innovation, functions even under open innovation. Our findings highlight that not only small but also large companies can receive the benefit of an enlarged industry under open innovation.
