The cooperative relationship between Employer and Contractor in the construction industry is the most important factor to achieve the project success. Employer shall draw the Contractor’s cooperative behavior during executing the project. A study on the impact of the Owner’s power on the contractor’s cooperative behavior is rare in the construction industry in Korea even though the negative impact of the high-power distance between the Employer and the Contractor has been a hot issue in Korea. In this empirical study, it is shown that the Employer’s power can address the contractor’s cooperative behavior. The respondents were mostly employees in the domestic construction companies who have experienced in the construction projects. The total number of respondents was 317 effectively. The multiple regression analysis using SPSS 21.0 were conducted to verify the hypotheses. In conclusion, the Mediated Power is positively associated with the In-Role Behavior and with the Extra-Role Behavior. Some of Non-Mediated Power is positively associated with the In-Role Behavior and with the Extra-Role Behavior. It seems that the Contract underestimate the Employer’s Expert Power. It was known that the cooperative power caused by Non-Mediated Power is good for long term relationship of the business to business transaction. So it is highly recommended that the Employer shall foster its expertise.
Changes in the business environment in which intense and sustained growth and survival must meet a variety of customer needs (Q, C, D) and business side of the enterprise for profit structure reformation is absolutely necessary for innovation activities. So far, management of innovation in method BPR, PI, OVA, 6 Sigma, Strategic Purchasing, PPM, SCM etc. are being introduced. However, they have a limit of partial optimization and improvement-oriented techniques. So this paper studied the TPI(Total Profit Innovation) application in order to derive empirical methodology to maximize profitability for the domestic S foundry factory. To this end, long-term gains through structural analysis and intensity analysis to ensure continued growth and profitability strategy are devised through management Innovation analysis. And improvement projects was presented to solve main issues of five categories(Inventory, Sales Mix, Cost, Quality Cost, Skill and Work-load) We will expect the office productivity improvement and financial performance improvement and then continually accumulate and review the results.

We applied the TPI process for S company in the foundry business innovation and productivity through cost reduction. We will expect the productivity improvement and financial performance improvement and then continually accumulate and review the results.
우리나라의 인터넷 포털 산업은 정보통신기술 의 급속한 발전과 함께 빠르게 성장해왔다. 인터넷 포털 시장은 네트워크 효과가 존재하는 전형적인 양면시장의 특성을 가지고 있어 이용자를 선점함 으로써 독과점이 형성되기 쉬운 구조이며, 최근 인 터넷 포털의 막대한 영향력과 그로 인한 피해의 우 려가 커짐에 따라 인터넷 포털 사업자에 대한 규제 의 필요성이 대두되고 있다.
인터넷 포털 사업자에 대한 규제와 관련해서, 공정거래위원회는 2008년 8월 최초로 네이버ㄜ 의 시장지배적 지위 남용행위에 대하여 시정명령 을 내렸으나, 서울고등법원은 시장획정, 시장지배 력 평가, 위법성 판단 등 주요 쟁점에 있어서 공정 거래위원회의 결정이 부당하다고 판시하였으며, 현재 위 사건은 대법원에서 상고심 재판 계속 중 이다.
한편, 2013년 9월에는 인터넷 포털 사업자를 규제할 목적으로, 인터넷 포털 사업자가 제공하는 모든 서비스가 하나의 거래시장에 속하는 것으로 규정하는 내용의「독점규제 및 공정거래에 관한 법 률」개정안이 발의되었다. 그러나 인터넷 포털 시 장이 양면시장의 성격을 가지고 있다는 점을 고려 하더라도 인터넷 포털이 제공하는 다양한 서비스 를 언제나 하나의 묶음으로 파악하여 시장을 획정 해야 할 논리적 필연성이 있다고 볼 수 없으므로 위 개정안은 신중하고 면밀하게 검토되어야 한다고 본다.

우리 나라는 산업의 지속적인 발달로 용수수요는 점차 증가하고 있으나 용수원의 한정과 수질오염에 따라 가용용수가 감소하는 추세에 있다. 이러한 문제는 전력사업에도 예외일 수 없이 겪고 있으며 최근의 전력수요 증가에 따른 발전소 건설부지 확보와 아울러 당면환 과제로 직면하고 있다. 또한 기존의 용수원도 주변 환경오염등으로 점차 악화되어 지금까지 주로 적용하여온 이온교환수지기술에 한계가 오고 있다. 이러한 현상은 현재의 발전단지중 서울, 인천의 수도권 지역과 낙동강을 용수원으로 하는 영남지역 등에서 뚜렷이 나타나고 있다.
The development of Korean shipping industry is maybe defined into three development stages-industry fixing stage, industry coordinating stage, industry development stage-. The development of shipping industry has been depended on the geovernment/authority role such as shipping policy, system, law, rules and regulations. In 1983, Korean shipping industry reorganization and coordination by shipping authority have made our shipping industry on the stable condition together with each company's efforts. Today's world economic environment such WTO/UR negotiation results get this government role limited. According to the being reduced government role, each company's competitive advantage power becomes more important. Besides, korean shipping industry is exposed into the entire and bitter world competition. In order to win and prevent the world shipping competition, it is necessary to look out the competitive advantage power of Korean shipping industry. The first purpose of this study is the situation analysis for competitive advantage power of Korean shipping industry. The second is to compare with our shipping policies with foreign ones concerned with ship, cargo, crew, tax and others. But in order to compare with foreign shipping, this study need their shipping statistics data, this study has some limit of the foreign data. This study has been carried on the basis of the following items. 1. Shipping environment, 2. Ships and ship acquirement(shipbuilding/purchasing), 3. Oceangoing cargo and ship's stowage rate, 4. Human factor in shipping-crew, 5. The incomes and costs in finacial statements. We have some conclusions as following through the this study. First, Korean shipping industry environment-competitive disadvantage situation- has changed rapidly due to the shipping market opening, free market entering of foreign shipping. Second, Korean shipping is disadvantageous due to the high tax rate and financing conditions in connection with ship acquirement. In order to improve the competitive advantage power, the shipping tax system and ship financing conditions should be reviewed to profitable for owners. Third, but both world and Korean oceangoing cargoes quantity have been increased annualy, Korean ship's cargo stowage rate is being decreased. This is serious situation but Korean shipping take well use of foreign vessel with hire. It is recommended to take use of owner's vessel and hired ones in the long range view, considering the world shipping management. But the number of crew has been decreased by 2, 000~3, 000 annualy, it is desirable that the long sea-experienced crew have been increased. Almost of owners usauly complain the crew cost is the main obstacles to competitive advantage power. Human factor is the most important firm's asset. All owners should pay attention to this though, and invest the proper budget to training, education, welfare as much as possible. In the long run this effects could be feedback to owners. Fifth, We must improve the financial statements structure, that is, the first step is to increase income, the second is to decrease cost, the third is to increase income on the same cost, the fourth is to decrease cost on the same income. It is essential to find out what the urgent investment is and what unnecessary cost is. At last, in order to competite world shipping race, each shipping firm must try for himself to retain the power. The government/authority is no longer dependable. I believe that each firm's power will be the industry's power, the industry's power will be the nations's power.
