This paper was to examine the spatial characteristics on the mobile industry's value chain based on the structure of value chain, the process of development, and the industrial linkages of mobile industry in Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. The mobile industry's value chain in Daegu-Gyeongbuk region consists of the infrastructure, mobile device, platform & embedded SW, and mobile contents sector. Among these sectors, the leading value chain sector in mobile governance is the mobile device sectors, especially the finished products sector. These sectors have developed by policies as well as networks with large enterprises such as Samsung and LG, and it forms a hub-and-spoke cluster. The infrastructure and mobile device sector are located in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, the embedded SW and mobile contents sectors are located in Daegu, which means decentralized agglomeration. The sectors of infrastructure and mobile device form the strong forward-backward linkages with firms in Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. For the embedded SW sector, the forward-backward linkages are active with firms located in Seoul metropolitan area. For mobile contents sector, the backward linkages are formed with firms in Daegu and the forward linkages are formed with firms in Seoul metropolitan area.

It's vital to establish the competitive comparative advantage as the competitions among global logistics companies have become fierce. The global companies, hence, must innovate their Port Hinterland to hub and spoke in a view of SCM. The Port Hinterland significantly affects its local economy and value added. The task of the Port Hinterland nowadays is to improve its efficiencies by utilizing logistics operations and services. The Korean government has planned to reduce the scale of the Port. The CCR and BCC matrices show that there are nine efficient companies: two companies in Gwangyang Hinterland and five companies in Busan Hinterland, though Masan FTZ was only ranked on the 24th, on the rank of world FTZ. This paper aims at finding the cargo volume necessary for achieving the maximum efficiency. This research proposes an appropriate strategy to keep a certain amount of cargo volume stable and presents the Port Hinterland differentiation strategies of Gwangyang and Busan.

In recent years, the hub and spoke strategy has been strengthened in accordance with the enlargement of ships. As the needs of the port users change, the ports are also becoming larger and modernized. Under these circumstances, changes in existing port operations are expected. One example is the movement to promote economic and operational effectiveness through the joint operation of small and medium-sized operators. This study analyzed the effect of the association of small and medium-sized operators on Busan New Port in terms of economy. Additionally, the issue of cost allocation within the association of operators was presented through the game theory. As a result, in the case of operating jointly rather than divided into five operating companies as of the present, it has been shown to have a cost reduction effect in terms of operating companies. Considering the use of the Proportional method, the Shapley Value, and the Nucleus method in allocating the costs among the operators participating in the coalition, the Shapley Value method was the most suitable method in this study.
