The Protocol for China’s accession into the WTO stipulated certain differential treatment for China, including the determination of normal value in anti-dumping investigations for the transitional period of 15 years. This treatment was authorized by the Protocol in response to concerns raised by other WTO Members at the time of China’s entry into the WTO. Since the transitional period is over in November 2016, there is an argument supporting the grant of market economy status to China, although the Protocol does not require the automatic grant of market economy after the passage of the transitional period. However, China’s recent trade measures, which have been adopted to press another WTO Member to meet its political objective, raise a question as to whether China is indeed ready for market economy status. This article analyzes such case and offers a view on the grant of market economy status to China.

consumption, has been attempted to replace with sharing economy which is consumer-to-consumer’s activity of obtaining, giving, or sharing the access to goods and services (Hamari et al., 2016). Research argued that the sharing economy develops based on information and communication technology (ICT) as it is an emerging economic-technological phenomenon, proliferation of using social networking site (SNS) (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), and increased consumer awareness (Belk, 2014; Hamari et al., 2016). SNS refers to a digital environment that allows individual to create his/her space where sharing and constructing relationship with others are possible (Lin & Lu, 2011). Among the numbers of SNSs, Instagram is gaining notable attention as powerful marketing tool which may especially be important for fashion industry. Hutchins (2017) reported that number of its daily active users exceeds 400 million, and 90% of users are under 35 who may be familiar with the idea of the sharing economy. In terms of marketing, 53% of Instagram users are found to follow their favorite brands (Hutchins. 2017). According to Ryan and Deci (2000), consumer behavior of using information technology such as Instagram was influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. Although numerous researches have done with the sharing economy and SNS respectively, despite the recognized role of SNS in the sharing economy, comprehensive and empirical study of the sharing economy and SNS is very limited. Hence, the purpose of this research is to investigate consumer’s motivations to use Instagram for participating sharing economy by developing research framework based on the motivation theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) perspective.

북한인들에게 현시점에서 통일이 되었을 경우, 효율적인 시장경제 · 경영/교육을 통하여 시장경제에 적응할 뿐만 아니라 그 원리를 적용하여 창조적이고 혁신적인 기업가 정신을 발휘, "기업이 고객을 만족시킴으로써 얻은 이윤은 정당한 것이며 그것은 또한 기업의 사회적 책임이다"라는 사실을 터득케하는 방안을 모색하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 따라서 먼저 사상 · 정치 우선의 북한사회구조의 고유 특성과 "주체형" 인간개조사업으로 특이한 인간상을 갖게 된 북한인들에게 맞는 교육/훈련방안 모형을 만들기 위해, 사회주의 경영특성을 파악하고, 나아가 시장경제 · 경영교육사례연구로 미국의 對 알바니아 사례, 통일 독일의 동독기업지원사례, 일본의 對러시아 사례, 조총련계 조선대학교수에 의한 김일성대학의 사례 등 5개 사례를 현지 조사 및 면접을 통하여 심층적으로 분석, 가칭 「북한 시장경제 · 경영교육/훈련 지원단」 과 「북한 기업지원센터」 를 설립하고 두 기관을 중심으로 북한에서의 시장경제 · 경영교육/훈련에 필요한 교과과정 및 기업 지원을 할 수 있는 방안의 모형을 제시하고자 하였다.
