세계 각국은 온실가스 배출을 줄이기 위하여 활발한 노력을 하고 있다. 한국도 노후화된 석탄발전을 폐지하고 LNG 발전으로 전환하는 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 한국은 가스터빈 제작 기술이 국산화되지 않아서 해외 제작사로부터 전량 수입하여 설치하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논고에서는 가스터빈 발전산업에 대한 국내·외 환경을 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 PEST-SWOT-AHP 방법론을 적용하여 한국형 가스터빈 기술개발 및 보급 확대 추진전략을 제안하였다. 연구결과, 한국형 가스터빈 기술개발과 보급 확대 전략은 1) 가스터빈 기술개발 및 사업화 촉진을 위한 발전공기업의 역할 강화, 2) 온실가스 감축을 위한 LNG 발전 비중 확대, 3) 정부의 적극적인 가스터빈 산업 생태계 조성 노력, 4) LNG 발전소 건설에 대한 국민 공감대 형성 등으로 요약할 수 있다.

Product liability (PL), which began enforcement in 2002, refers to the legal responsibility of the manufacturers or sellers (wholesales or retailers) for the property damage or bodily harm caused by their product. With a strong enforcement of the Product Liability (PL) Act, companies are required to structure and operate a response system to defend or prevent product accidents efficiently, but small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are unable to respond more aggressively due to limitation of management resources. In this manner, it is important to develop response strategies for SMEs to efficiently cope with the PL Act. In this paper, the PEST (Political, Economic, Social, and Technological) analysis is performed to reveal the impact of the PL Act on SMEs in macro-economic point of view. To formulate SME’s PL response strategy, SWOT analysis is performed to categorize each factors from PEST analysis and AHP is applied to identify the intensities of SWOT factors. The prioritized SWOT factor, results of PEST-SWOT-AHP analysis, are used to formulate SME’s PL response strategies. The study results are briefly summarized as follows. To reduce product defects, it is necessary for SMEs to formulate PL response strategies for each phase of the product life cycle by continuously collecting and analyzing PL cases in the same industry or for similar products. In addition, SMEs should invest more technological effort to ensure product safety. Further, SMEs should spread PL awareness to all staff members by training internal PL experts. Moreover, a SME should enroll in PL insurance and spread this information to its customers so that they become aware that the company is proactively conforming to the PL law.
