최근 연구들은 열망 수준 대비 성과하락이 다국적 기업들의 해외직접투자 입지 선정에 영향을 미 친다는 점에 주목하면서도, 이러한 관계의 경계 조건을 충분히 탐구하지 않았다. 이에 본 연구는 기업 수준의 연구개발(R&D) 집중도와 매출 총이익률이 열망 수준 대비 성과하락과 다국적 기업 의 해외직접투자 입지 선정 간 관계를 어떻게 조절하는지 분석한다. 구체적으로 본 연구는 기업들 이 일반적으로는 성과하락을 경험할 시 단기적으로 효과적인 성과 향상을 위해 개발도상국에 투자 하는 것을 선호하지만 R&D 집중도와 매출 총이익률이 높은 기업들은 단기적 성과 회복보다는 혁 신 역량 개발, 제품 차별화와 같은 장기적인 전략적 목표를 우선시하고 있기에 성과 저하에 대응하 여 선진국 대비 개발도상국에 투자할 가능성이 상대적으로 낮다는 점을 강조한다. 이는 개발도상국 이 안정적인 시장 환경과 고부가가치 기회를 선진국에 비해 상대적으로 덜 제공하기 때문이다. 2017년부터 2022년까지 미국 다국적 기업들의 해외직접투자 활동 데이터를 분석한 결과, 이러한 가설들이 지지되었다. 본 연구는 성과하락이 특정 투자 유형으로 일관되게 이어지지 않으며, 기업 의 전략적 지향성에 따라 달라질 수 있다는 점을 다국적 기업들의 해외직접투자 입지 선정 맥락에 서 강조하여 기존의 성과 피드백 연구와 국제경영 문헌에 기여한다.

In this study, an evaluation system that can be used to evaluate the feasibility of developing and supplying hydrothermal energy for the operation of large-scale complex facilities was developed. To this end, this study derived factors to be considered when selecting a location for the use of hydrothermal energy using raw water from multi-purpose dams and regional water supply systems through literature survey and expert interviews. The evaluation indicators derived from this study are divided into four sectors: hydrothermal energy utilization factors, location factors, planning factors, and disaster safety factors, and are composed of 10 mid-level indicators and 34 detailed planning indicators. The relative importance of all factors was derived using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique, and the developed evaluation indicators and relative importance were applied to four multi-purpose dam regions in the country. As a result, it was found that in the development and use of hydrothermal energy utilizing regional raw water supply line the urban planning conditions of the supply site can have a greater impact on the location selection results than the hydrothermal energy development itself. Due to the characteristics of the evaluation indicators developed in this study and their nature as comprehensive indicators, it is believed that the results should be applied to determine the overall adequacy of site selection in the early stages of hydrothermal energy development. In the future, it is believed that it will be necessary to analyze the problems in supplying and operating hydrothermal energy using raw water from multi-purpose dams and regional water resources. Based on the analysis the evaluation system developed in this study is expected to be improved and supplemented.

본 연구는 다국적 기업의 해외 입지 선정과 관련된 연구를 종합적으로 검토하여, 과거와 현재의 연구 결과를 분석하고, 미래 연구 방향을 제시하는 것이 목적이다. 구체적으로 2000년부터 2023년까지 총 173편의 해외 입 지 선정 연구를 분석한 결과, 비시장 전략, 네트워크, 실물옵션, 방법론과 관련한 주제와 이슈에 관해 연구가 활 발하게 진행되고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 다국적 기업의 주요 의사결정 중 하나인 해외 입지 선정과 관련 된 연구 동향을 분석하여, 연구자들에게 미래 연구 방향을 제시하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 뿐 만 아니라, 높아진 글로벌 환경 불확실성과 지정학적 위험 상황에서, 공급망과 해외 자회사 입지 선정과 재배치, 리쇼어링 등과 관련한 의사결정과 관련하여 기업의 경영자들과 실무자들에게도 유익한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study aimed to evaluate the application of the multi-criteria decision-making approach, specifically Fuzzy-TOPSIS, in agriculture official development assistance (ODA) projects. The focus of the study was to identify the optimal location for establishing the Korea Agricultural Business Innovation Center (K-ABIC) in Uganda, as part of the "Strengthening Capacity for Youth Agribusiness Development in Uganda (SCADU)" project. In this study, six decision-makers assessed four candidate locations (alternatives) based on four criteria: accessibility, potential for rent expense reduction, suitability as an office and educational facility, and sustainability. Linguistic scales were utilized and transformed into triangular fuzzy numbers. Closeness coefficients (CC) were then calculated to prioritize the optimal location, which was found to be the Technology Research Center located in Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute Kabanyolo, outside of Kampala (alternative 3). The findings of this study confirmed the applicability and usefulness of Fuzzy-TOPSIS through a real case study conducted in Uganda. The practical implementation of multi-criteria decision-making methods, such as Fuzzy-TOPSIS, is expected to contribute to resolving decision-making challenges in the field of international development cooperation.

Economic Development Zone(EDZ) in the province is one of the foreign policy for economic development of North Korea. North Korea has promulgated 27 Economic Development Zones(5 EDZs as central level and 22 EDZs as provincial level) to promote economic growth through the expansion of external opening policy. EDZs of the provinces play an important role in North Korea’s national and regional economic growth. The purpose of this study is to select analytical criteria that can be quantified when considering the location conditions of North Korean economic development zones when domestic companies advance into North Korea according to the progress of inter-Korean economic cooperation, and derive the relative importance between the criteria. After that, based on this, we intend to quantify the evaluation of the location priority of the economic development zone. In this study, through AHP analysis results, when domestic companies enter North Korea, we derive the importance and preference of location selection factors when considering the location conditions of North Korean economic development zones. Taking into account the reality of North Korea when the Korean company entered the North economic development zone following location for evaluation. That is, logistics and transportation, industrial infrastructure, competitiveness, and management incentives. And 14 sub-factors were selected and AHP analysis was performed.

Automobiles are largely divided into passenger cars with less than five passengers and commercial vehicles such as construction machines, trucks, mixers, special lorries, and large buses. Automobile maintenance companies are also divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Because commercial vehicles are the livelihood vehicles of individual carriers engaged in cargo transportation, passenger transportation, and construction, fast and accurate maintenance is important. Access to the expressway is also important because the car is large and uses highways. In addition, the time required for troubleshooting is long, so sufficient space must be secured for parking the vehicle, and ease of entry and exit of the vehicle in the maintenance shop should be fully considered. For this reason, commercial vehicle maintenance companies have higher initial investment costs than car maintenance companies, and it is difficult to supply and maintain maintenance personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully examine and analyze various related factors for successful commercial vehicle maintenance company selection. However, most existing commercial vehicle maintenance companies often choose their location based on the empirical judgment of the founder, the customs and the case, without a clear analysis. In this study, we show how to derive the location selection factors to be considered when establishing professional maintenance company for commercial vehicles and to select the optimal location by using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method.
