The purpose of this paper was to figure out the status quo of development of textiles in fashion industry by analyzing through in-depth interview with domestic women's wear converters on the process of textile planning. Professionals in top3 domestic women's wear converters were selected and interviewed in-depth on actual work process of textile development. The result of the research is as follows. First, the interviewed converters were having transactions with entire domestic target market of women's clothing and also exporting to China. Second, production of textile was mostly domestic, with some from China. Third, the number of textile development was 20 - 50 items per season accordingly to size of converter, and the number was larger if taking into account the sourcing development, the special finished fabric development and the print design development. Fourth, for methods to gather information, converters got ideas through overseas exhibitions, overseas color swatch books, fashion-related web sites and market research. Fifth, when setting up direction of textiles, it was investigated that they had motif from in-trend material or on previous season's best-selling material. Sixth, textile planning map did not start from early in season but prefers in-progress board map. Seventh, ways for many method types for textile planning were found depending on sales type of converter and textile production price.

The current research focused on exploration of a well known Korean fashion and clothing industry cluster, Dongdaemun Fashion Town(DFT). Many clothing and fashion wholesalers in DFT with various business formats are trying to obtain competitive advantages. For the empirical study, a questionnaire was developed. Items measuring descriptive statistics for each business and contractor selection criteria were included in the survey. 161 data from Employees of various wholesalers of DFT were used for statistical analysis. Majority of DFT customers were buyers of Internet shopping malls and street retail shops. 64% of them used domestic contractors for sourcing products. Most of them managed less than three contractors. Contractor selection criteria were factorized as flexibility, production ability, stability, fame and location. Wholesalers were segmented into three groups: product oriented, flexibility oriented and stability oriented groups. Group differences in terms of business practices were assessed and strategic implications were included.

Today Korean clothing companies are experiencing difficulties in the global market due to unfavorable business conditions including poor production environments, labor shortage, rising costs, the further opening of the domestic distribution market, and increased competition among them. As a result, this has caused many of Korean clothing companies to transfer their production bases abroad in search of relatively inexpensive labor force, instead of using domestic plants. This study attempted to examine how Korean clothing companies perceive production environments and labor standards with regard to their offshore outsourcing. In such an attempt, in-depth interviews were conducted with 24 brand-name clothing firms. Those interviewed firms were the brands for the domestic or foreign market that were found to produce more than 200,000 pieces of clothing per year, and also the group of interviewees included some promotion service providers. The key findings from this study are as follows: First, a large number of the interviewed clothing companies were found to manage their foreign contract manufacturers by "visiting their factories regularly on a seasonal basis" or "stationing their personnel in factory for management purposes." Second, in relation to quality control in their foreign manufacturers, the most frequent response was to "have personnel stationed in those manufacturers." A smaller number of the clothing companies answered that they had "engaged their production management teams in quality control from time to time," or "used their inspectors to inspect products." Third, when asked about labor standards in foreign contract manufacturers, the largest number of the clothing companies responded, "we apply our own standards." The results of this study suggest that most of domestic clothing companies still use offshore sourcing just as a means of reducing their initial labor costs. However, in the continuously changing environment of the global clothing industry, clothing businesses are required to escape from the early phases of their manufacturing environments and set up more globalized standards.

최근까지 국내 유통산업 성장의 주도적인 역할을 담당해 온 대형할인마트 시장이 점차 업체들간의 치열한 출점경쟁에 따른 내수시장의 포화상태 및 수명주기단축 등 성장의 한계에 다다르게 되었다. 이러한 국내시장의 한계에 따라 대형할인마트들은 생존과 성장을 위해 해외 신규매장 진출, 혹은 해외 유통체인 인수, 그리고 단순 글로벌 출점뿐만 아니라 글로벌 소싱전략 등을 통한 다양한 해외시장 진출전략과 마케팅 전략을 시도하고 있는 상황이다. 기존에는 유통선진국의 글로벌 기업들이 상대적으로 후진국인 아시아지역 국가들에 선도적인 지위를 차지하며 진출을 해왔지만 1980년대 후반 이후 아시아 경제가 급성장하게 되면서 일본과 같은 동아시아 유통기업들의 아시아시장 진출이 시도되기 시작하였다. 중국을 필두로 해서 경제발전 속도에 비해 유통서비스산업 등이 상대적으로 선진화되지 못한 아시아시장은 서구선진국 글로벌 유통기업뿐만 아니라 일본, 한국 등 동아시아 국가들이 내수시장의 한계를 극복하기 위한 탈출구로써 활발하게 진출이 행해지고 있는 시장이다. 이미 많은 유통기업들이 중국 등 아시아시장 진출과정에서 다양한 이유로 인해 성공과 실패를 경험하였다. 유통산업, 특히 대형할인마트의 아시아시장 진출에 있어서 상대적으로 후발국가라고 할 수 있는 우리나라의 경우, 해외진출의 원인과 과정이 우리와 유사한 일본 대형할인마트의 해외진출 사례와 전략을 살펴보고 이를 통해 우리나라 대형할인마트의 성공적인 해외 진출을 위한 전략적 시사점을 찾아보고자 하였다.

자동차 공급망은 자동차기업들이 글로벌화되어 아웃소싱이 일반화되고 해외생산기지를 구축함에 따라 지속적으로 복잡하게 되었다. 자동차산업에서 순환물류용기 (RPC: Returnable Plastic Container) 의 사용은 물류효율과 비용절감 측면에서 매우 일반화되어 있으나 주로 내수용으로 활용하고 있으며 국제무역용으로는 절대적인 운송거리가 길고 운영관리가 복잡해져 크게 활용되지 않고 있다. 이 연구는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 1회용기와 반복사용이 가능한 순환물류용기를 pooling system으로 적용하는 경우 기업에 미치는 경제적 영향을 비교하였다. 결론적으로 미국과 같은 장거리 국제물류에서는 순환물류용기의 사용이 어려우나 중국과 일본과 같이 비교적 단거리 국제무역에서는 pooling 시스템의 도입으로 경제적으로 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구결과는 국제공급망 환경에 따라 경제적으로 최적의 포장방법과 형태의 변화가 필요함을 밝혔다. 다만, 국제무역상 발생하는 통관상의 복잡함, 관세, 국내와 해외 물류환경의 상이로 인한 효율성 저하 등의 문제는 하기 위해서는 보다 많은 연구가 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to review and establish the three concepts of upcycling, zero-waste fashion design, and regional sustainability through a review of domestic and international case studies. Furthermore, it will provide the theoretical basis for using upcycling as a regional sustainability practice to create zero-waste fashion design. To conduct an empirical study, we systematized the stages of the survey on waste resources in Changsin-dong, the sourcing and utilization of waste resources, the design-planning stage, and the co-production with pattern and sewing masters as a suggested practice for regional sustainability. Through this study, we propose the possibility of regional sustainability by developing and sharing the method of zero-waste fashion design. The conclusion of the study as follows: First, upcycling fashion designs can be extended to a regional sustainability practice by taking the characteristics of social design into account. Second, by providing a design development process and methodology suitable for regional sustainability application, it is helpful to revitalize regional upcycling fashion brands and communities by providing data for upcycled fashion branding. Third, as part of the revitalization project for the Chang-shin and Soongin areas that started in 2014, using the region's economic, cultural, and environmental characteristics to make and sell high-value, upcycled fashion products will contribute to social and economic achievements and aid in solving regional problems.

This study attempted to examine the characteristics of fashion cross-border e-commerce(CBEC) by analyzing about 35.7 million cases of customs clearance data received from the Korea Customs Service. The demographic characteristics of consumers and the features of products purchased from 2019 to 2021 were explored. Next, the association rules between products, brands, and websites were analyzed by men and women in their 20s to 50s. The results are as follows. First, women purchased more clothing products than men, and overall, consumers tended to purchase products at low prices every year. Second, the most commonly purchased products were T-shirts, bags, and other shoes. In the list clearance, the purchase frequency of international open markets increased for three years; in general clearance, the proportion of luxury brands was high every year. Finally, in the list clearance, the relationships between bags, other shoes, pants, and overseas open markets were significant, while the relationships between wallets, bags, and luxury brands were significant in general clearance. Based on this study, domestic companies participating in or competing against the CBEC market can develop appropriate strategies for merchandising and sourcing clothing products.

Purpose - This paper empirically explores the RCA of electrical equipment trade between China and Korea from the perspective of gross trade and value-added trade. The goal of this paper is to scan the electrical equipment's RCA, the decomposition of gross exports, and the impacts of an exerted shock. Design/methodology - We applied the domestic value-added method in measuring the RCA, which could be more accurate than traditional RCA since it excludes foreign value-added. Based on the research purpose, this paper follows the framework of Koopman, Wang, and Wei (2014)-as extended by Wang, Wei, and Zhu (2018). It extracts the data from the 2019 Multi-regional Input-Output (MRIO) databases compiled by the Asian Development Bank in January 2021. Findings - After rigorous examination, the main findings are as follows: First, the electrical equipment sector maintains a consistent comparative advantage in either assessing method. Second, China exports more gross goods of electrical equipment to the world than South Korea does, but there is a trade deficit with Korea. Third, South Korea and P.R. China are the most significant bilateral partners of foreign value-added sourcing. Finally, it is surprising that there is a shock on electrical equipment; the partner's service, as well as manufacturing sectors, would be affected. Originality/value - This paper explores the revealed comparative advantage between Korea and China from traditional gross export and value-added perspectives. Second, we apply the information from the 2019 MRIO database compiled by the Asian Development Bank in January 2021, reflecting the current situation. Third, this paper analyzes the electrical equipment and the impacts on other parties' sectors. Finally, we carry out the subjects that deserve to be investigated in the future.
