The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival duration. As a result of portfolio composition strategies and survival rate, the survival rates of the wholly-owned subsidiaries, large corporations, R & D companies, and manufacturing industries were all relatively high within the significance level. The Cox Proportional Hazard Model was used to analyze the influencing factors. As a result, it was found that the first factor is that capital and asset factors affect the survival of the firm compared to the wholly owned subsidiary. Second, SMEs are more dependent on profitability than large firms. Third, it is analyzed that the R&D firms are less affected by financial risks. Finally, in comparison to industry types between manufacturing and non - manufacturing, both groups were found to be influenced by corporate, financial and profit factors.

In this study, when an Internet Primary Bank was established, innovation characteristics and consumer characteristics, based on the theory of innovation resistance proposed by Ram(1987), were identified as Internet Primary Bank service users. The study found that among the perceived innovation characteristics of consumers, the factors that lead to an innovation resistance to Internet Primary Banks were proven to be relative benefits, complexity and Compatibility. Second, the hypothesis that the resistance to innovation affects the recommended intent has been proven to have a wealth impact on the recommended intent. Finally, while most of the preceding research on Internet Primary Banks was about accepting innovation and the diffusion of innovation. This study also studied the intent of innovation and recommendation for the bank in 2017.

With data from 7 Asian countries, jump intensities are estimated using Hawkes univariate model. To analyze the transmission pattern of shocks, VAR model is applied to the time series of jump intensities. Results show that jump shocks are actively transmitted among Asian countries. Gravity model of trade is estimated with exchange rate volatility and transmission parameter included in the model. Regression result shows a significant positive relation between transmission parameter and trade. It implies that the trade and the financial shock transmission have reciprocal effects on both sides.

Port plays an important role in the development of the national economy. Countries around the world are working to expand port facilities, such as the development of port facilities and the development and operation of hinterlands, in response to changes in the economic environment. In order to expand the port's original functions and enhance the competitiveness of port, it is necessary to develop and operate hinterlands and related-area development. Therefore, this study analyzed the changes in the container trade volume and the items of major ports in Korea, mainly in the domestic area, in order to develop the linkage development between the port and the region, and suggested that the planning and development of port and hinterland considering the change of local industrial structure is necessary.

Interest in and investment in Big Data is growing in the business and academia. The reason is that companies that use big data well and companies that do not use big data have different competitive advantage in the market. Recently, companies have been working on Big Data for business management. And utilization of big data is also done in supply chain management. In this study, this big data operation and analytics system is called BDBA system. Whether the value generated by the BDBA system influences the supply chain of the firm is the research question of this study. In order to solve these research question, a questionnaire survey was conducted for domestic manufacturing companies and the analysis was conducted based on the collected questionnaires. The following conclusions were obtained. Among the BDBA system factors, acquisition, storage, and application factors have positive effects on BDBA value creation. In addition, BDBA value creation has a positive impact on the Triple-A (agility, adaptability, and alignment) of the supply chain.

This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation(EO) and new product performance of Korean SMEs. In addition, this study further investigates the moderating effects of international marketing capabilities and functional integration. Based on survey data from 124 Korean Exporting SMEs, the result indicates that entrepreneurial orientation has a positive effect on new product performance. Furthermore, it is found that international marketing capabilities and functional integration work as mechanisms which enhance the positive effect of entrepreneurial orientation on new product performance. The results of the study indicate an importance of entrepreneurial orientation for successful new product outcome.

In Article 2.1 of the TBT Agreement, it can be seen that the judgment of non - discrimination is considered to be unfavorable treatment rather than the like products. It also affects the interpretation of Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement. The regulation prohibits unnecessary trade restrictions and examines it as a necessity test. First, it considers the legitimacy of the objectives of the action, second the contribution of the action, and third, whether the action is necessary to achieve the objective. The appellate Body has repeatedly pointed out that there is no minimum standard for the contribution of the measure and that a qualitative assessment should be made rather than a quantitative assessment. In the end, it is important that the action and the legitimate purpose have important connections. However, in spite of this importance, it should consider the fair operation of the measures and the attainment of the objectives in addition to the legitimate objectives.

In the 4th industrial era, blockchain, a critical technology behind mind blowing virtual currency is being actively popularized in finance industry. Recently, Denmark’s Maersk Line, world’s largest shipping company and IBM has partnered up to introduce blockchain technology in shipping industry, gathering people’s attention.

This study analyzed intention for block chain service in shipping logistic market through survey. For the analysis, SPSS and AMOS were used. In order to prove each hypothesis, structural equation model were used. In the intention of blockchain use, perceived value, organizational innovation, social influence were proven to bring positive effect while perceived risk had vise-versa effect.

Food trade has increased rapidly through the Mega FTA, resulting in frequent food safety accidents. As a result, consumers' demands for eco-friendly foods has increased internationally or domestically. As GMO food spread widely, GMO food labeling alone makes it difficult to distinguish GMO food from non-GMO food, so there is still concern about GMO safety. In particular, there is a possibility of trade disputes, given the attitude and approach to GMO food regulation in each country. Currently, there is no internationally norms for GMO food, mutual support between multilateral environmental agreements and WTO agreements on GMO food should be promoted and international legal integration enhanced.
