Purpose - The logistics industry is often featured by its location relevance and industrial concentration. Industrial concentration is conducive to the effective transmission of information by reducing transaction costs and improving transaction efficiency, thus promoting the development of trade. The main purpose of this paper is to measure the spatial total factor productivity and location quotient of the logistics industry in Korea, and to study the impact of the logistics industry efficiency and agglomeration effect on import and export trade in Korea. Design/methodology - First, used the spatial stochastic frontier method to measure the spatial total factor productivity of the logistics industry in Korea, this serves as the efficiency index of the logistics industry in various regions of Korea. Second, calculated the location quotient (LQ) of the logistics industry to measure the industry's concentration degree. Third, employed a spatial econometric model to analyze the impacts of factors such as the efficiency and concentration levels of the logistics industry on import and export trade in Korea. Findings - This study's main findings can be summarized as follows: this study found that the overall efficiency of the logistics industry in Korea needs to be improved, even though it showed an upward trend in all regions of the country; Moreover, the agglomeration level of Korea's logistics industry needs to be improved; Finally, the positive spatial correlation and industrial agglomeration effect of Korea's logistics industry had a positive impact on the country's import and export trade. Originality/value - This study is innovative in terms of research perspective and methods. Most of the previous studies have measured the development level of the logistics industry using the logistics performance index (LPI), Fewer studies have assessed through the spatial total factor productivity and location quotient of the logistics industry in Korea to measure the efficiency index of the logistics industry in various regions of Korea and concentration degree, as well as there was almost no study on the impact of logistics industry efficiency and agglomeration effect on import and export trade in Korea. This study addresses this limitation by analyzing the impacts of the efficiency and agglomeration effect of the logistics industry on import and export trade in Korea.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between cargo volume and logistics performance index published by World Bank which indicate countries' logistics performance. In this study, the results were derived through panel regression analysis consisting of variables such as gross domestic product, geographical distance, population, and LPI using container export/import volume and bulk export/import volume as dependent variables. As a result of the empirical analysis, it was found that Korea's container volume was affected by the overall level of logistics, in particular, was deeply related to the logistics infrastructure, while bulk volume was not related to the logistics level or was less influential.

Purpose - This study analyzes the effect of the authorized economic operator-mutual recognition arrangement (AEO-MRA) on the performance of Korean exporters and importers. The effect of the import-export companies' characteristics, such as annual sales, the number of foreign markets, and overseas experience, on the AEO-MRA is deduced; the relationship between this effect and firm performance is analyzed. Design/methodology - An empirical research model was constructed and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The effect of AEO-MRA on logistics and operational performance was derived from the aforementioned characteristics as leading factors of the AEO-MRA. The regulatory influence of cooperation with logistics companies was analyzed in the AEO-MRA effect on logistics performance. Thus, 172 valid samples were obtained from import-export companies certified by the AEO-MRA. Findings - Among the aforementioned characteristics, only "annual sales" has a positive effect on the AEO-MRA, whose effect enhances logistics and operational performances. The AEO-MRA effect did not directly affect operational performance. Owing to the adjustment effect analysis, the AEO-MRA effect and logistics performance relationship is strengthened if the cooperative relationship with the logistics company is higher than a certain level. If this cooperation falls below a certain level, the AEO-MRA effect on logistics performance reduces. Thus, logistics cooperation is an important factor in the AEO-MRA effect and logistics performance relationship. Originality/value - Hinging on the resource-based theory and relational viewpoint, an empirical model that explains the relationship between the AEO-MRA effect and firm performance is established.

More and more medium and small enterprises do business across the world according to generalization of online shopping mall such as eBay and Amazon. But high export and import transportation cost make weak the price competitive power of medium and small enterprises products. Then this paper deals with the development of new business model which can reduce the transportation cost for global logistics through efficiently overcoming the constraints as length, size, and weight of product. We explain this model with application for company which export the automobile parts. We can expect the transportation cost reduction by 50%.

글로벌 공급사슬망 내 항만은 서로 복합한 물류 네트워크시스템을 형성하고 있다. 많은 연구자들은 SNA분석을 활용하여 물류 네트워크, 무역 네트워크, 그리고 해상 네트워크 등 활발한 네트워크 관련 연구를 진행해 왔다. 그러나, 기존의 SNA분석에 비해 물류 및 무역과 관련된 SNA 응집성 분석은 미비한 편이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 SNA 응집성 분석기법 중 핵심집단 분석과 커뮤니티 분석을 활용하여 지역, 항만, 공항을 포함한 모든 국내 수출입 물류 네트워크의 시계열적인 구조변화 양상에 대해 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 2004년부터 2022년까지의 관세청 수출입물류통계연보 자료를 활용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 핵심집단과 커뮤니티 분석 결과, 국내 수출입 물류 네트워크 응집성은 지속적으로 강화되고 있었으며 지역, 항만, 공항의 결속구조가 높아지고 동질적 형태가 증가하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 부산항이 주요 커뮤니티의 중심인 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 글로벌 물류환경의 과정을 이해하고, 물류 및 무역 관련 정책과 지속 가능한 수출입 물류 프로세스를 구축하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

This study tries to find out the resonable improvement method of the export logistics system for fresh agriculture products. Export logistics system improvement of fresh agriculture products rationalized the export network covering the export and import of fresh agriculture products from producers to end customers and realized cost reduction and profit maximization. We are also operating our very own comprehensive logistics system that maximizes customer satisfaction. Supporting the entire logistics process starting from the collection, unloading, sorting, packaging, customs clearing, and information up to comprehensive logistics services, the export logistics system of fresh agriculture products realized a comprehensive transport system that uses 12 feet cool container. We have successfully reduced logistics costs through efficient operation in the export logistics system of fresh agriculture products.

The export/import processing systems of the foreign advanced port use the integrated database to increase the productivity of the users involved in the port and logistics activities. However all the port and logistics related organizations in Korea such as container terminal, customs, ministry of maritime affairs and fisheries, etc. are using their own databases, so it is very inconvenient to the users to process their export/import affairs. It is necessary to develop the integrated database for the port and logistics affairs to provide the one stop service to the port and logistics related users. So we have investigated and analyzed the databases of port and logistics related organizations, and recognized the users' various needs of information. And then we have suggested the conceptual architecture of integrated database for port and logistics, and proposed the strategies for successful development of the integrated database in this paper.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라에서 해상적하목록 사전제출제도를 도입하여 수출입물류 원활화와 안전을 도모하기 위한 방안을 제시하는데 있다. 우리나라의 주요 교역대상국인 미국, EU, 중국에서 해상적하목록 사전제출제도를 도입하고 있고 물류보안 강화가 국제적 추세인 상황에서 변화된 무역관행에 수출기업의 조기 적응을 유도하고 수입 우범화물에 대한 통제를 강화하기 위해 해상적하목록 사전제출제도가 필요하다. 국가간에 거래되는 수출입화물이 선박에 적재되기 24시간 전에 화물정보를 세관에 사전 제출함으로써 세관당국으로 하여금 고위험화물을 사전에 선별토록 하고, 적법화물에 대해서는 신속한 통관을 가능토록 하여 결과적으로 수출입물류 프로세스의 원활화와 안전이 동시에 확보될 수 있다. 우리나라에서도 글로벌스탠다드에 부합하는 해상적하목록 사전제출제도를 조속히 도입하고 이와 병행하여 인터넷기반 적하목록 취합 제출 시스템 구축과 선적지 수출검사 체계를 도입한다면 우리나라 수출입물류의 안전과 원활화에 크게 기여할 것이다.

본 연구는 인천국제공항이 국제항공화물운송에 있어서 동북아의 중심이 되기 위하여 국제물류주선업자의 국제항공화물운송 프로세스의 문제점과 애로요인, 개선사항 등을 조사 및 분석해보는 것이 필요하다는 전제하에 수행되게 되었다. 국제항공화물운송 프로세스의 여건은 수출 및 수입으로 구분하여 개별 프로세스별 소요시간과 만족도 그리고 프로세스 단계별 문제점을 분석하였다. 그 결과 국제항공화물운송 수출프로세스의 소요시간이 수입프로세스의 소요시간 보다 약 1시간 더 소요되는 것으로 나타나 국제항공화물운송의 프로세스를 개선하기 위해서는 수출보다는 수입부문의 프로세스 개선이 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 이상의 사항을 종합하여 항공화물 정보시스템 구축, 화물조업의 경쟁력 확보, 물류표준화 개선 등이 향후 개선되어야할 과제로 도출하였다.
