This study has analyzed the correlation between exchange rate volatility reflecting thepast exchange rate level with the three corporate performance indicators of profitability,growth and asset quality in quarter units from 1/4 of year 1998 to 4/4 of year 2009targeting 12 industries and 1,700 companies listed on KOSPI and KOSDAQ, classifying intothe IMF period, WON rising period, and sub-prime global credit crisis period. As the result; corporate exchange rate sensitivity showed twice greater to external growththan profitability or asset quality, and reacted twice more sensitive to exchange ratevolatility which was market uncertainty than to exchange rate level. For severe volatility,profitability of most of the companies became deteriorated, showing 0.14% improvement inprofitability for 10% rise in dollar rate. For the significant level result by currencies; it was most sensitive to Yen rate with 46number of business types. For severe exchange rate volatility, in contrast, although it wassensitive to other currency rates, it was temporal by market impact, and eventuallycompanies were sensitive to dollar rate, and showed Yen rate volatility gave negative effectto the profitability sector and RMB rate to the growth sector respectively.

본 논문은 한·일 문화적 차이가 양국 대학생 간 보험금청구결정의 애착효과에 미치는 영향을비교·분석하였다. 설문지를 이용한 심리재무실험 결과, 한․일 대학생들은 모두 보험금청구결정에 관해서 애착효과를 보여주고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 특히, 고애착집단에 속하는 일본 대학생들은 연령이 아주 높거나 낮을수록 애착효과가 큰 것으로 판명되었다. 하지만 양국의 문화적차이가 한·일 대학생 간 보험금청구결정에 미치는 영향은 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Simultaneous external and internal market orientation of internet marketing activities facilitate theprocess of acquiring and disseminating information relating to external and internal customers; suchinformation represents strengths and weaknesses of the firm’s ability to meet the opportunities andthreats apparent in the external market. These performance effects are a consequence of theenhanced level of inter-functional coordination resulting from the information. The results from anempirical test are as follows. Simultaneous internal and external market orientations resulted inboth increased information sharing and enhanced inter-functional coordination, but inter-functionalcoordination does not have positive impact on internet marketing success. However, the informationsharing directly has positive impact on internet marketing performance.

The U.S. portion in Korean export market has been drastically decreased from 30 percentin 1990 to 10.7 percent in 2012. This, however, does not mean that the U.S. market lost itsimportance relative to other markets, since both countries have not only very similar exportstructure, but Korea has a great trade balance surplus with the U.S. There are alsobehavioral differences among the main export items. This paper, hence, employs theComparative Advantages by Countries(CACs) and estimates the integrating vectors to revealthe behaviors of the seven main export items, which are the household electronicappliances, industrial devices, electronic components, wire and wireless communicationdevices, semiconductors, and computers. The panel analysis finds that the export coefficientsof CAC are not only significant but positive in both the fixed-effect and random-effectmodel. The panel cointegrating vectors, however, exhibit somewhat different results. Thepanel group fully-modified OLS shows significant and positive coefficient. while theindividual FMOLS shows the mixed results. The coefficients of six items are significant andpositive, but that of household electronic appliances is not.

This study investigated the procedures for establishing trade cooperatives and determinedtheir priorities in management using an Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). For this purpose,this study analysed the differences between cooperators and cooperative members tostrategies for effective management. With respect to priorities, the most important elementsfor both cooperators and cooperative members were the establishment of profitable modeland the financing plan. Cooperators gave priority to six factors in the social mission andfour factors in the management while cooperative members gave priority to two factorsin the social mission and eight factors in the management. That is, cooperators putemphasis on the social mission while cooperative members focused on management. Suchdifferences presented suggestions for support directions for federal and local governments orintermediate support organizations. This paper has a limit in that all of the intervieweeslive in Gwangju city. It means that further studies should include interviewees of variousregions to have more general results.

Ship management industry which supervises ships on behalf of the owners to meetessential industry standards has grown in importance in global shipping these days. Around500 ship management firms were identified, and the number of foreign companies enteringKorean market is increasing. Despite this, this industry has received little attention fromacademic field. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to examine the importance offactors vitalizing ship management industry based on ODA(Official Development Assistance)by using SWOT analysis with Entropy method. The results of this analysis suggested usefulways to improve this industry including networking with universities in Korea for trainingmember staff and utilizing local governments, government network as well as PPP(PublicPrivate Partnership).

The Influence of the exchange rates on the trade balance is well known asMarshall-Lerner condition that assumes a perfect exchange rate pass-through, the impact ofthe exchange rate on export and import prices. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of theexchange rates on the trade balance in the case that the exchange rate pass- through isincomplete. Using the cointegration analysis methods, the effects of exchange rates on the trade balancebetween South Korea and her 33 trading partners were analysed. In the case of the bilateraltrade balance with 13 countries, the effect of the nominal exchange rate was positive, but inthe case of 5 countries it was negative, and in the cases of other 15 countries, it wasinsignificant.

This paper analyzes the structure and characteristics of all Chinese antidumping casesagainst developed countries and less developed countries. Based on the analysis, the paperoffers strategic and policy recommendations for the Chinese government and enterprises tobe better prepared for the discriminatory provisions in China’s WTO accession protocol andfor the escalating antidumping trade disputes to protect the economic and trade interests ofChinese enterprises. We analyzed the macro variables can affect the China’s decisions ofantidumping investigations. In this paper I did cointegration test and unit root test for theexistence of long run equilibrium among macro variables. I also analysed the industriesspecific factors can role in the decisions of Chines antidumping investigation. The resultsshow that the macro variables can affect Chinese antidumping investigation andpetrochemical and heavy industries are more influenced by the chines macro variable thanother light industries’s case.
