본 연구는 기업의 신흥시장진입과정에서 기업간 자원교환에 있어서 상호 의존적 네트워킹의 역할과 몰입이 영향주는 시장진입의 속도를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 특히 기업의 중국과 인도자동차시장 진입시 시장진입속도에 어떠한 요소의 변화가 영향을 미쳤는지, 지역 중요행위자들과 네트워킹이 시장진입을 촉진하는지 그리고 네트워크 관점에서 학습과 몰입이 시장진입과정의 속도에 효과를 나타냈는지 규명하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 신흥시장 특성에 적합한 기업의 전략적 경쟁위치 개발을 위한 포괄적인 이론적 연구모형을 제시하였다. 연구방법은 한국기업의 시장진입과 관계된 전략과 경험에 기초하여 심층면접을 실시하고 부가적으로 필요한 2차 자료를 수집하였다. 연구모형은 시장에서 3단계의 네트워킹, 학습과 몰입의 발전과정에 대한 실증분석을 위하여 현대자동차의 중국과 인도사례 분석을 적용하였다. 기업의 해외시장진입 속도는 지역 중요행위자들과 사회-정치적 행위자들 사이의 네트워킹에 의해서 중대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 도해하였다. 사례에서 현대자동차는 신흥시장 진입초기에 네트워킹의 효과를 거두었으며, 이때 네트워킹의 여러 유형들은 학습과 몰입의 수준을 결정하였다. 특히 자회사의 위치개발과정에서 경쟁기업이 순차적으로 진입하는 동안에 현대차는 차별적인 형태의 협력을 통한 네트워킹으로 빠른 시장진입의 속도를 이루며 경쟁위치를 개발하였다. 본 연구 결과에서 도출한 시사점은 한국기업이 신흥시장에 진입하는데 전략적으로 도움을 주거나, 이미 진출한 기업에게 자사의 현 위치를 정의하고 나아가 경쟁위치를 개발할 수 있는 기회를 갖고자 한다.

Recent climate change has led to fluctuations in agricultural production, and as a result national food supply has become an important strategic factor in economic policy. As such, in this study, panel data was collected to analyze the effects of seven meteorological elements and using the Lagrange multipliers method, the fixed-effects model for the production of five types of food crop and the seven meteorological elements were analyzed. Results showed that the key factors effecting increases in production of rice grains were average temperature, average relative humidity and average ground surface temperature, while wheat and barley were found to have positive correlations with average temperature and average humidity. The implications of this study are as follow. First, it was confirmed that the meteorological elements have profound effects on the production of food crops. Second, when compared to existing studies, the study was not limited to one food crop but encompassed all five types, and went beyond other studies that were limited to temperature and rainfall to include various meterological elements.

Agriculture is more influenced by environmental factors rather than other industries. Among the environmental factors, the meteorological conditions mainly impact the output of agricultural products. Hence, the purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of meteorological factors on the output of elemental agricultural products. As a first step, we obtained the data of the meteorological factors (i.e., precipitation, humidity, temperature, insolation, snowdrifts, wind velocity) and the output of the various agricultural products (i.e., grain, fruits and vegetables, root crops, green vegetables, seasoned vegetables, fruits, special crops) from the year 1990 to 2009 (20 years) of Seoul and the six metropolitan cities in Korea. Then, the analysis of the correlation between the agricultural product with the largest output and the meteorological factors of the place where the corresponding agricultural product is most produced, was carried out in order to determine the core meteorological factor that most impacts the output of agricultural product. The correlation analysis revealed that humidity, insolation and wind velocity have been the crucial meteorological factors to influence the output of the agricultural products. From the result, we can induce that the meteorological forecast information about the vital meteorological factors, i.e., humidity, insolation and wind velocity, facilitates the optimized cultivation plan to maximize the output of agricultural products.

Nowadays meteorological information is systemized as a useful knowledge which has a significant effect on the overall industrial domains over the simple data. The distribution industry, which has the short life cycle, depends on the meteorological information at the strategic level. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the continuous investment in meteorological information because there is a hostility to paying for a service, particularly it does not provide accurate and reliable information. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to increase the usefulness of meteorological information in the distribution industry for its economic effectiveness from the core meteorological factors. We found significant meteorological factors (temperature, precipitation, disaster) that have a critical influence on the distribution industry through the hierarchical analysis process, and their importance according to the type of distribution channels, such as department store, large-scale discount store, convenience store, and home shopping. We performed the AHP analysis with 103 survey samples by middle managers from the various distribution channels. We found that precipitation is the critical meteorological factor across the distribution industry. Based on this result, we stress the difference in the level of the meteorological information in order for the effectiveness of each type of distribution channels.
