Purpose - The purpose of this study is to review the export support projects in Jeollabuk-do and to provide implications to the policy makers and to the local exporters. Based on this review, the study proposes future measures to enhance the efficiency of the current Jeollabuk-do export support project. Design/methodology/approach - This study reviews export support projects in Jeollabuk-do, d examines program types and utilization status, and subsequently summarizes the key aspects of Jeollabuk-do SMEs' export support projects. Findings - This study suggests that Jeollabuk-do's export support project can become more effective through active development of overseas markets and professional integration of marketing activities, particularly focusing on regionally specialized export products. Additionally, given the crucial roles played by the government, related agencies, and local offices in improving the export capabilities of SMEs in Jeollabuk-do, there is an emphasis on the need for continuous and systematic follow-up management and the establishment of export support projects and services. Research implications or Originality - While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Korea account for a significant portion of export activities, their actual export performance and contribution are low. The export competitiveness of SMEs, particularly those located in regions other than Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, is not improving despite various export support projects being promoted. Under the circumstances, this study provide meaningful implications to the policy makers and to the local exporters.

본 연구는 우리나라 수출보험이 대기업 및 중소기업의 수출촉진에 효과적으로 작용하고 있는지를 분석하는 데에 초점을 두었다. 이를 위하여 대기업과 중소기업의 수출공급함수 모형을 각각 설정하여 수출보험이 수출공급에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실증분석 하였다. 실증분석 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1992년부터 2009년까지 연도별 자료를 이용하여 대기업과 중소기업의 수출보험인수액이 수출공급에 미치는 영향에 대하여 통상최소자승법으로 분석한 결과, 대기업과 중소기업의 수출보험인수액은 우리나라의 수출촉진에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 실증분석을 하기 위해서는 분석에 사용되어지는 자료들의 안정성 여부가 중요하다. 특히 불안정한 시계열을 적용할 경우 통계분석의 결과가 무의미해질 수 있기 때문이다. 따라서 자료들의 안정성 여부를 파악하기 위해 ADF 방식을 이용하여 검정을 시행한 결과 모든 변수들이 I(1)인 시계열임을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 I(1)인 변수들의 장기적 균형관계를 살펴보기 위해 Johansen 검정에 의해 공적분 검정을 실시하였다. 공적분 검정결과, 대기업의 수출공급과 수출보험인 수액 간에서는 5% 유의수준에서 공적분벡터가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 중소기업의 수출공급과 수출보험 간에는 공적분벡터가 존재하지 않는 것으로 분석결과 나타났다. 따라서 대기업의 경우 수출보험이 수출공급에 영향을 주는 것으로 해석할 수 있지만, 중소기업의 수출공급에는 수출보험이 영향을 미치지 않고 있다 할 수 있다. 이를 통해서 대기업의 수출은 중소기업의 수출보다 수출보험의 영향력이 더 큼을 알 수 있다.

2005년 국내 중고차 시장은 신차 거래규모의 1.5배인 약 170만대가 거래되었으며 직간접적인 금액도 10조원에 이르는 시장규모이다. 이와 같은 중고차 시장은 2005년 인터넷쇼핑몰의 거래규모와 거의 동일한 시장규모이다. 국내 중고차의 공급량은 신차 생산량의 증가와 기술력 향상으로 자동차의 수명이 길어짐에 따라 더욱 증가할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 증가하는 중고차 공급과 중고차 수출 감소를 해결하기 위한 중고차 수출물류혁신방안을 제시하고자 한다. 기존 중고차 수출관련 연구 등에서는 수출 전용부두 조성, 통관지원과 같이 중고차 수출물류에 있어서 부분적인 검토가 이뤄졌으나, 본 연구에서는 국내 중고차 유통과 수출부분을 모두 고려한 수출물류 프로세스측면에서 분석과 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 국내 중고차 수출관련업체를 대상으로 설문 및 면담조사를 실시하여 중고차 수출물류 활성화를 위한 현실적인 대안 및 정책방안을 모색하였다. 중고차 수출물류혁신방안으로는 수출물류 프로세스 개선을 위한 수출물류통합시스템 구축과 수출활성화를 위한 전초기지인 수출물류단지 조성에 대하여 제시하였다. 인천항에 중고차 수출활성화를 통한 경제적 효과를 분석한 결과 관련업체의 수익증가 270억원, 수출물류단지 조성으로 인한 부가가치 효과 3.4천억원, 고용효과 2,200명으로 추정된다. 그러나 이와 같은 수출물류혁신방안이 추진되기 위해서는 일관된 정책이 추진되어야 한다. 중고차 수출활성화를 위해 현재의 문제점만을 개선하는 근시안적인 정책이 아니라 지속적으로 국제시장에서 우리나라 중고차가 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있는 중장기적인 중고차관련정책이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 수출물류통합시스템구축과 수출물류단지 조성을 위한 정책방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose - Exports have long been regarded as significant drivers of sustainable competitive advantage and growth among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The export activities of SMEs are particularly important in the context of export-oriented economies such as Korea. Although many studies have examined the determinants of exports, it is difficult to find empirical studies about the determinants of the export performance of regional SMEs. This study investigates the determinants of export performance in the regional SME context based on an integrated approach that combines the environment factor of industrial organization theory, competitive strategy theory, and the competences of the resource-based view. Research design, data, and methodology - To empirically analyze the determinants of export performance in the regional SMEs, data were collected from firms in the Daegu metropolitan area. Data were collected directly through questionnaire surveys; in addition, secondary financial data were also taken from the KIS-VALUE database. Out of the 175 responses that were received, 143 were considered to be worth examining. After testing the reliability and validity of the variables through multiple items such as environmental turbulence and competitive strategy, hypotheses were verified by using five multi-regression models. These models were: a control model with organizational size and age, an environmental model with technology and market turbulence, a competency model with R&D and foreign distribution channels, a strategy model with product and market differentiation, and an integrated model including all of these variables. Results - First, as a control variable, the organization size has significant positive effects on export performance. Second, technology turbulence based on industrial organization theory has significant positive effects on export performance, but market turbulence does not affect export performance. Third, the foreign market distribution competency of the resource-based view has strong positive effects on export performance, but the R&D competency does not affect export performance. Fourth, the product differentiation strategy from competitive strategy theory positively impacts export performance, but market differentiation does not affect export performance. Finally, in the integrated model, only the foreign distribution competency of the resource-based view has a significant effect on export performance. Conclusions - The empirical results of this study verified the usefulness of the rationales behind the three theories to explain the export performance of the regional SMEs, especially the importance of the foreign market distribution competency from the resource-based view. With regard to practical considerations, this study's implications suggest that the use of technological environmental changes by industries is better than the use of market changes. Further, the use of the product differentiation strategy is more effective than the use of the market-driving strategy, and the distribution channel competency plays a stronger role than the technology-oriented competency with regard to the export performance position of regional SMEs. Future studies should examine relational perspectives, such as trust among channel partners. Therefore, the configuration approach is more useful in enhancing pragmatism by comparing high- and low-export companies.

Purpose - This research empirically proves the extent to which export insurance promotes Korean exports to research object countries among New Southern countries. The outcome of this research will present implications for the operations of export insurance for exports to these countries. Design/methodology - For the empirical analysis, the export equation was composed using a basic gravity model. Based on this, the determinants of Korea's exports to research object countries were analyzed. In this study, a panel unit root test and panel cointegration test were conducted. As a result of the panel unit root test, it was confirmed that the variables of the panel data are not belonging to I(0), but to I(1). As a result of the panel cointegration test, it was established that there are long-term stable relationships among all variables. Accordingly, the gravity model was estimated using original data in order to reduce the information loss caused by the first difference, in spite of individual data belonging to I(1). Findings - For the estimated results of panel OLS, the estimated coefficient of short-term export insurance was 0.56-0.64, with statistically significant results at the significance level of 1%. In addition, for the analysis results of the random effect model, the estimated coefficient of short-term export insurance was 0.59-0.64%, with a statistically significant result at the 1% significance level. This could indicate that Korean export insurance has positive influences on export promotion to New Southern countries. Originality/value - The research implies that export insurance has a 4.1 to 4.7 multiplier effect in expanding exports to the New Southern countries for Korea. This research has intensively analyzed the effects of export insurance on the promotion of exports to a selected area by a government foreign economic policy, which is the originality and value of this paper.

Purpose - This paper intends to make theoretical analysis and empirical test on the factors influencing China's export to South Korea, and draw conclusions about China's export efficiency and trade potential. Based on the conclusions, the reasons for China's trade deficit with South Korea are found, and a solution is put forward for solving the problem of China's trade deficit with South Korea. Design/methodology - Based on the data of 2004-2017 years in China, this paper uses the stochastic frontier gravity model to analyze the influencing factors of China's export to South Korea, as well as the export efficiency of each province and the export potential that can be explored. Findings - First, in terms of the factors affecting China's export trade to South Korea, the GDP of the provinces and cities in China, the FDI of South Korea to the provinces and cities in China, the GDP of South Korea, the population and education level of provinces and cities in China can significantly promote the export scale of Chinese provinces and cities to South Korea. The distance between Chinese provincial capitals and the South Korean capital significantly hinders Chinese exports to South Korea; Second, in terms of export trade efficiency, the trade exchange rate of the economically developed cities along the eastern coast of China and several provinces that are close to South Korea is higher than that of the cities in the central and western regions; Third, economic globalization makes trade more convenient, the average export trade efficiency of China's exports to South Korea showed an upward trend. However, under the influence of the 2008 global financial crisis, the export trade efficiency declined from 2008 to 2009, indicating that the impact of the financial crisis on the trade efficiency cannot be ignored. Originality/value - This paper finds out the influencing factors of China's export to South Korea, analyzes the export efficiency of different provinces and cities, excavates the export potential, and puts forward some suggestions for the balanced development of China and South Korea trade in the next step.

The object of this paper is to increase in domestic use of export factoring for small and medium trading companies. Factoring involves a process where a specialized firm assumes the responsibility for the administration and collection of account receivable for its clients. It can be considered a form of short term commercial financing based on selling of trade credit at a discount, or for a prescribed fee plus interest. The youngest and smallest businesses cannot receive working capital for account receivable for export from financial companies, while larger businesses tend to have less need for factoring services. Using export factoring provide a valuable improvement to cash flow and working capital position and can possibly contribute to small business growth and development. There are several suggestions for export factoring to activate in Korea. First, the number of factoring companies need to be enlarge to activate export factoring in trade and financial policies. Second, factoring companies have to perform public relations for trading companies to inform the export factoring system and its advantages. Third, government need to support the system of export factoring with legislation and financial instruments. Forth, trading companies need to be reformed credit inquiry system in terms of expenses and methods by government This paper has attempted to emphasize on export factoring for small and medium size exporting companies and deserves more research by academics, practitioners and trade policy makers.

Whether export-market prioritization is effective on financial performance is a controversial issue. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed this issue. The present study attempted to explicate the effects of exporters' market prioritization on their superior financial performance. Based prominently on the market-segmentation theory and the relationship-marketing theory, the current study developed propositions of whether export-market prioritization is economically reasonable. It is posited that export-market prioritization postively influences buyer satisfaction in a primary market; that export-market prioritization negatively affects on buyer satisfaction in a secondary market; that export market prioritization reduces costs in relation to export marketing and sales; that buyer satisfaction positively influences buyer loyalty for both buyers in primary markets and ones in secondary markets; that buyer loyalty positively influences share of wallet for both buyers in primary markets and ones in secondary markets; and that share of wallet positively influences sales per buyer for both buyers in primary markets and ones in secondary markets. Thus, exporters should identify suitable export-market segments and prioritize export markets. The present study suggested that exporters monitor market profitability, assess the quality of buyer information, and conduct selective organizational alignment in order to develop a prioritization strategy.
