  • 본 연구는 우리나라 환경친화기업의 경영성과를 분석하기 위해 네 가지 가설을 검정하였다. 첫째 가설은 환경친화기업의 경영성과는 일반기업에 비해 저조하다는 것이고, 둘째는 환경부담률이 높은 환경친화기업일수록 경영성과는 저조하다는 것이며, 셋째는 중소기업 환경친화기업은 대기업 환경친화기업에 비해 경영성과가 저조하다는 것이다. 마지막은 장기 환경친화기업은 단기 환경친화기업보다 경영성과가 우수하다는 것이다. 분석결과는 환경친화기업의 수익성은 5% 유의수준하에서 일반기업보다 높은 수준에 있다는 결론이 도출되어 첫째 가설은 지지된다고 할 수 없다. 둘째, 고비용 환경친화기업의 안정성이나 성장성은 저비용 환경친화기업과 차이가 없으나 수익성은 저비용 환경친화기업의 수익성보다 10% 유의수준하에서 높아 둘째 가설 역시 만족되지 않는다. 셋째, 2001년 기준으로는 5% 유의수준하에서 중소기업 환경친화기업의 수익성은 생산효율성의 차이로 인해 대기업 환경친화기업의 수익성보다 크나 2002년 기준으로는 수익성과 성장성은 별다른 차이가 없고 대기업의 안정성은 5% 유의수준하에서 중소기업보다 안정적이었다. 마지막으로, 장기 환경친화기업은 단기 환경친화기업에 비해 환경개선 know-how의 축적으로 인한 이익(first-mover advantage)을 누릴 것이라는 주장과는 달리 장기 환경친화기업과 단기 환경친화기업 간의 수익성은 5% 유의수준하에서도 차이는 없으나 안정성은 단기 환경친화기업이 장기 환경친화기업보다 10% 유의수준하에서 양호하였다. 결론적으로, 지금까지 일반적으로 논란이 되어온 환경경영의 수행이 비용부담으로 기업의 경쟁력을 약화시킨다는 가설이나 고환경 비용산업의 경영성과가 저조할 것이라든지 기업의 규모에 따라 환경성과 상이하다든지 환경경영의 연수에 따라 경영성과가 차이가 날 수 있다는 가설은 우리나라 환경친화기업의 경우 대체로 만족하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

  • This study aims to analyze the elements to enhance and activate the quality of life by establishment of family-friendly environment through face-to-face interviews in family-friendly certified firms in UIsan. As a result, its activation is possible when each party of companies- employees-government tries to change, and its main elements and outcomes are as follows. First, 'management philosophy of the company representative' showed to directly affect development of flat organization culture and system activation, with respect to the companies. Second for employees, 'value changes to prioritize work-life balance' demonstrated to affect the utilizations and establishment of family-friendly systems within the organization as the critical element. Lastly, it is considered for government to be able to activate this if 'delivery system with professionality' is secured to help 'legalization of policy,' company productivity, and work-life balance of employees. On the other hand, further studies on the elements to be able to activate family-friendly certifications and analysis on its justification are required by expanding the number of companied in Ulsan.

  • Since the importance of eco-friendly architecture is rapidly increasing, BIM receives significant attention as an alternative that would derive the practical results and apply the design values of eco-friendly design elements to the architectural design process. Therefore, this study establishes an Integrated Design System based on Green BIM by applying the eco-friendly design values logically and systemically. The study also proposes practical case studies to examine the possibility of application. As a result, the framework of Green based Integrated Design System(gbIDS) and a prototype of Web-based gbIDS were developed to improve the working environment of small architectural firms.

  • Purpose: Environmental pollution problems have become more and more serious, how to effectively protect the environment has become a hot spot of concern to all sectors of society. The way to solve this problem is environmentally friendly management. However, theoretical perspectives and research frameworks of existing research on environmentally friendly management are still unclear. This study aims to examine how the CEO's beliefs for SMEs of Chinese distribution industry affect the environmentally friendly management based on institutional theory. Research design, data, and methodology: This paper collected data from 215 SMEs in China distribution industry and conducted a series of data analysis and hypothesis testing based on an institutional theory perspective using Amos and SPSS to verify the effects of regulatory pressure, normative pressure, and imitation pressure on firms' environmentally friendly management. Results: Through the analysis, this paper tests that normative pressure and imitative pressure have a positive effect on CEO's beliefs. However, regulatory pressure did not have a significant effect on beliefs of CEO. Meanwhile, the degree of CEO's beliefs has a positive effect on environmentally friendly management in Chinese distribution SMEs. Conclusions: Theoretical contributions, practical implications, and future research directions are discussed.

  • Purpose - Korean firms have entered the Mongolia, the world's top 10 resource rich country with huge market potential, since the diplomatic relations between Korea and Mongolia were established in 1990, but little is known about Korean firms' entry strategy in the Mongolian market. With this background, this study aims to investigate the seven cases of Korean firms doing business in Mongolia (SK Telecom, Samsung S1, T-Money, E1 Energy, Cafe Bene, E-Mart, and CU). Methodology - this study is based on numerous primary and secondary data about the Mongolian market, as well as Korean firms in Mongolia. Findings - the following three implications were derived from our case analysis: first, when entering into Mongolia, a thorough analysis of political and social risks and a good understanding of institutional voids should be preceded. Second, for this reason, entering through cooperation with local partners, such as joint ventures or franchising, is expected to increase the possibility of success. Third, unlike in the early days of Korean firms in Mongolia, the business environment in Mongolia has become more stable and predictable, and a friendly atmosphere for Koreans and Korean firms is forming, increasing the possibility of success and settlement of Korean firms. Research implications - this study contributes to extant literature by providing more systematic research on Korean firms in Mongolia and by presenting practical implications through the analysis of success and failure cases of Korean firms in the Mongolian market.

  • The development of digital culture has brought radical change in the fundamental concept of what workspace is defined by and has also switched the cognition of workspace originally being a place to spend time and do activities regarding tasks into space more than just that. If we take a look at the cases overseas firms have announced after the year 2000, we can find distinguishing facts different from the existing workspace composition, like creative workspace, amusement workspace, workspace for communities, etc. Thereupon, the goal of this research is to look into the domestic characteristics of workspace by investigating and analyzing case by case targeting domestic firms. This research is to first comprehend the theoretical study of workspace, the changing environment, and the characteristics of domestic workspace, going on to utilizing the information achieved above to analyze 8 appointed domestic firms as examples. Contemporary domestic workspace is defined not a place only for activities regarding work tasks but rather a place comfortable and friendly in the concept of a second residence, community node for sharing knowledge and information, mobile space for the digital nomads, and space for coincidental encountering and communication. Based on this the analyzed characteristics of contemporary domestic work places are metaphor, convergence, beyond boundary, and emergence. The characteristics mentioned above are considered elements that increase corporate profits by managing efficient smart-work and producing creative ideas. Therefore, I believe continuous research and development related to this subject is necessary.

  • The study aims to examine consumer awareness of green fashion products and demographic characteristics by subdividing environmentally conscious consumers of such products in the current domestic fashion market. It then compares the result with the characteristics of environmentally conscious consumers studied by 1999 in order to understand the trend of the consumer group in the fashion market and to promote the use of green fashion products. Marketing strategies for green fashion products suggested by the study are as follows: First, fashion firms are required to develop and publicize shops selling recycled or second-hand clothing that environmentally conscious consumers show constant interest. For instance, clothing patterns may be developed to enable consumers to make their kids' clothing easily at home, and various garments made from recycled materials may stimulate environmentally conscious consumers' desire to buy. Particularly, advanced technologies should be developed and publicized to manufacture garments that can excel existing ones made of normal materials in their features in order to satisfy consumers' interest in clothing made from recycled PET bottles. In addition, various natural dyes should be developed to decrease water pollution. Second, it seems imperative to develop clothing made of recycled knitted apparel that attracts consumers' interest more than ever, fashionable multi-purpose clothing, and environmentally friendly materials. As the use of natural fur or leather can cause the endangerment of wild animals and the destruction of the ecosystem, synthetic fur or leather may be used to develop sophisticated products with the same texture as real ones to attract environmentally conscious consumers' interest.

  • Technology standards have gained importance as global market becomes more competitive. Since a technology acknowledged as a standard brings significant benefits to the developer firm, firms in the IT industry tend to pursue standardization for the technology, being it proprietary or open. However, the paths or strategic implications are seldom discussed in academia. Therefore, our study uses iPhone of Apple, one of the proprietary standards successes, to further understand corporate strategies over two standard choices. Our case study suggests that iPhone's entry timing was optimal for creating a new mobile environment. Design excellence and user-friendly interface increased networking effects and switching costs among consumers. Apple developed independent mobile operating system (iOS) through improvement on the existing operating system. During the process, Apple chose proprietary standard and, by installing the same UX on its sibling products such as iPod Touch or iPad, overcame the subsequent problems that might arise from the limited use of iOS. Based on the capability of concurrently developing both hardware and software, Apple connected operating system, machine, and contents, which deems to contribute to its proprietary standards success. We argue that this strategy should be considered for firms which plan proprietary standard strategy.

  • 본 연구의 주요 목적은 기존 공급망관리에 그린을 강화한 그린 SCM(GSCM)의 주요 활동들이 기업의 재무적 성과와 기업경쟁력에 미치는 영향력을 실증적으로 분석하는 것이다. 먼저 기업 공급망의 다양한 친환경 활동들을 요인분석에 투입한 결과 녹색구매, 녹색생산, 녹색물류, 역물류 등 4개 주요 활동요인으로 각각 분류되었다. 그리고 이들 요인들이 시장성과에 미치는 영향력을 분석하기 위해 8개의 연구가설을 설정한 후 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 GSCM 활동과 재무적 성과 간의 인과관계를 검증한 결과, 녹색구매와 녹색생산이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타남으로써 연구가설을 지지한다. 반면, 녹색물류와 역물류는 유의수준이 낮아 재무적 성과에 어떠한 영향도 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 비용 절감과 증가 효과가 같이 나타남으로써 통계과정에서 변수의 영향력이 복합적으로 작용했기 때문일 수도 있다. 한편 GSCM 활동과 기업경쟁력 간의 인과관계를 검증한 결과, 녹색물류를 제외한 녹색구매, 녹색생산, 역물류가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타남으로써 선행연구와 같이 GSCM 활동이 전반적으로 제품품질, 생산능력, 기업이미지, 고객만족도 등과 같은 기업경쟁력 향상에 긍정적 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 해외시장 의존도가 높은 국내 기업들이 친환경성을 요구하는 고객니즈에 효과적으로 대응하면서 지속성장하기 위해서는 녹색물류 등을 포함한 친환경 혁신활동들을 하나의 시스템으로 통합한 GSCM을 전략적으로 구축할 필요가 있다.
