In all countries of the world, the development of trade is an important factor for the survival of the national economy. Increased export will lead to national economic growth. Export is directly linked to employment, and the industrial structure will be developed in the direction to produce products of comparative advantages. Therefore, every country around the world is trying to promote export regardless of the size of its economy. Accordingly, this paper focused on the promotion of export of domestic companies. It proposed to cultivate trade experts to promote export of domestic companies. The following five methods were proposed to materialize the proposal. First, it is important to foster trade experts to expand and foster the one-person creative companies. In particular, it is important to develop a professional education curriculum. It is necessary to design and conduct a systematic curriculum throughout the process including follow-up after education such as teaching detailed procedures for establishing a trade business, identification of relevant regulations and related organizations, understanding of special features of each exporting country, and details of exporting procedures through specialist training for the individual industries, helping themto keep their network steady so that they can easily get help from consultants. Second, it is necessary to educate traders working in the field to make them trade experts and utilize themin on-the-job training and consulting. To do this, it is necessary to introduce systematic consultant selection process, and to introduce a systemto educate and manage them. It is because, we must select the most appropriate candidates, educate themto be lecturers and consultants, and dispatch themto the field, in order to make the best achievement in export. Nurturing trading professionals utilizing the current trading workers to activate export of domestic companies can be more efficient through cooperation of trading education agencies and related agencies in various industries. Third, it is also proposed to cultivate female trade experts by educating female trade workers whose career has been disrupted. It is to provide career disrupted women with opportunities to work after training them as trade professionals and to give manpower pool to domestic companies that are preparing for export. Fourth, it is also proposed to educate foreign students living in Korea to be trading experts and to utilize them as trading infra. They can be trading professionals who will contribute to the promotion of export. In the short term, they will be provided with opportunities for employment and start-upin the field of trade, and in the mid- to long-term, they may develop a business network between Korea and their own countries. To this end, we need to improve the visa system, expand free trade education opportunities, and support them so that they can establish small but strong enterprises. Fifth, it is proposed to proactively expand trade education to specialized high school students. Considering that most of domestic companies pursuing activation of export are small but strong companies or small and mediumsized companies, they may prefer high school graduates rather than university graduates because of financial limitations. Besides, the specialized high school students may occupy better position in the job market if they are equipped with expertise in trading. This study can be meaningful, in that it is the first research that focuses on cultivating trading experts to contribute to the export activation of domestic companies. However, it also has a limitation that it has failed to reflect the more specific field voices. It is hoped that detailed plans will be derived from the opinions of the employees of domestic companies making efforts to become an export company in the related researches in the future.

Purpose: This paper is designed to deliver a deeper understanding of the implications of digitalization strategies in the tourism industry, exploring the opportunities and challenges in South Korea. Research design, data and methodology: To identify effective strategies, an integrated approach is employed in the research that encompasses the Glocal RPM analysis and SANEL HERMES model, as well as the examination of digital tourism factors within the DIANA economy. The data used for this study were derived from multiple sources, including literature review, participation interview, tourist survey and expert questionnaire. By conducting a tourist survey using questionnaires in this research, Glocal RPM and SANEL HERMES hybrid method is used identifying and classifying influencing factors limiting digitalization in tourism. As a final step, experts use a Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix to propose, assess, and rank a number of digitalization strategies. Results: According to the analysis, the study revealed that combining both tools contributes to a more holistic understanding of the environment, uncovering the positives and negatives from diverse perspectives. The average satisfaction percentage of experts was determined to be 38%, indicating anatal level of digitalization for tourism industry in South Korea.

대학 무역교육에 현장실무지식과 현장실습을 접목하는 교육 방식이 활성화되고 있는 현상은 무역인력의 질적 수준 향상에 큰 기여를 하고 있다. GTEP, LINC, 학과 또는 강의 단위 산학협력형 무역교육 등을 전부 조사하여 분석한 결과 해외전시회 참가를 중심으로 중소기업의 수출성과 확대에 실질적인 기여를 하고 있다. 산학협력을 경험한 학생이 졸업 후 해당 기업에 취업하면서 청년취업 문제가 해소되고 중소기업에 맞춤형 무역인력을 공급할 수 있는 연쇄적인 성과도 나타나고 있다. 산학협력 무역교육을 경험한 대학생 100명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과 정보화 능력, 외국어 능력이 가장 높게 나타났고 제품/기술에 대한 지식이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 산학협력을 통해 해외시장에 진출한 50개 기업을 대상으로 조사한 결과 수출성과 달성에는 산학협력 방식의 대학생 무역교육 후 수료생의 역량 향상이 성공요인으로 나타났다.

글로벌 환경에서 우수한 무역인재의 보유는 이제 국가의 수출경쟁력을 좌우하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 인재를 양성하기 위한 교육 프로그램을 전세계적으로 운영하고 있다. 우리나라 역시 예외는 아니다. 다양한 무역인재양성프로그램을 수행하고 있다. 그 중에서 가장 실효성 있는 프로그램이라 할 수 있는 지역특화청년무역전문가양성사업에 대해 본 연구를 살펴보고자 한다. 지역특화청년무역전문가양성사업의 교육을 이수한 학생들을 대상으로 그들이 국제화의도를 증폭시키는데 교육의 서비스가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 알아보고 있다. 그 결과, 강사품질, 교육인프라품질, 교육품질 모두가 교육만족도와 국제화의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며, 교육만족도는 매개변수로서의 역할을 수행하고 있었다. 이는 단순히 교육을 수행하는 것이 중요한 것이 아니라 교육서비스품질이 무엇보다 중요함을 시사하고 있어 향후 교육자 양성에도 관심을 가져야만 우수한 무역인재가 양성될 수 있음을 본 연구결과는 보여주고 있다.

The dispute settlement mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is in great peril. The Appellate Body has ceased to function last December as the United States has blocked the appointment of new Appellate Body members since 2017. The focus of this study is on the examination of US's discontent on the Appellate Body and various efforts to reform the Appellate Body. In a recent report, the US Trade Representative raises its concerns on the Appellate Body including 90 days mandatory deadline, transitional rules for outgoing Appellate Body members, scope of appeal, advisory opinions, precedent, recommendation, and overreach without offering any viable solutions. Some of WTO members and experts proposed several Appellate Body reform measures but agreement between WTO members is unlikely in a foreseeable future. Alternative dispute settlement mechanisms should be seriously considered such as interim appeal arbitration arrangements, separate dispute settlement mechanisms for trade remedies, unilateral retaliatory measures without WTO authorization. Rules-based multilateral dispute settlement system is imperative to small open economies like Korea. The Korean government should actively participate in Appellate Body reform discussions with other WTO members to keep the WTO dispute settlement system from collapsing.

This study evaluated the importance of automobile procurement logistics using AHP. Although automobile procurement and logistics is represented by JIT, internal and external risk factors for the automobile and logistics industries are increasing, so it is necessary to re-evaluate them and establish countermeasures. Therefore, this study conducted AHP analysis targeting 30 automobile procurement and logistics experts. Through previous studies and interviews, 4 factors for Tier 1 and 12 factors for Tier 2 were derived. As a result of AHP, the logistics factor was analyzed as the most important and the cost factor was less important than the other factors. This means that supply chain operation is more important than cost, and it is analyzed that stopping all supply chain participants is more damaging than logistics or inventory costs. Such research can provide implications not only for the automotive supply chain but also other industries with similar characteristics, and it is considered to be a meaningful study at the present time when the global supply chain is being reorganized.
