This study focuses on analyzing the operational effectiveness of overseas export support offices operated by local governments for the purpose of revitalizing regional exports.
 Research design, data, and methodology: The research methodology adopted a case study approach. The Overseas Trade Center of Jeollabuk-do was chosen as the research case and is analyzed accordingly. To conduct the case analysis, methods employed include research design; validation of dependency patterns; interviews with users, practitioners, and administrators; expert group evaluations; and cross-evaluation of actual export performance.
 Results: The operation of overseas export support offices by local governments has been effective. Verification of six dependent patterns according to the research hypothesis all yielded positive results.
 Conclusions: The expert group evaluation and the comprehensive evaluation of export performance by participating companies indicate that local government overseas export support offices are indeed beneficial for small and medium-sized regional enterprises in their export efforts.","PeriodicalId":368687,"journal":{"name":"Korean Academy Of International Commerce","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 Research design, data, and methodology: For empirical analysis, the dependent variable was set as a choice between time charter and voyage charter, and the independent variables were set as company and cargo characteristic factors, company internal environmental change factors, and company external environmental change factors. A hypothesis test was conducted using 111 questionnaires.
 Results: Variables such as cargo volume and ship size were found to have a significant impact on the choice of charter contract. Company characteristics, investment propensity, and risk management factors were significant as a company's internal environmental factors. All variables, including market outlook, volatility, and cost factors, were statistically significant as a company's external environmental factors.
 Conclusions: Investment decisions and the outlook for future shipping market conditions are important factors to consider in decision-making as to the type of charter contract. Therefore, it is important for shippers as charters to obtain quick and accurate information on the shipping market.","PeriodicalId":368687,"journal":{"name":"Korean Academy Of International Commerce","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 Results : In contracts on the international sales of goods, it is common to have detailed provisions on Force majeure, and it is desirable for the contracting parties to freely modify the allocation of non-performance risks according to the circumstances of individual contracts.

For this study, questionnaires were distributed to examine the factors influencing the use of Incoterms and to analyze their causal relationships.
 Results: The findings reveal that differences in understanding Incoterms, mutual cooperativeness, and bargaining power all influence the effective utilization of Incoterms. Furthermore, a positive relationship between Incoterms utilization and SCM flexibility is observed.

 Research design, data, and methodology: Analysis of the global supply chain's impact utilizes the GTAP model, assuming the effects of import price efficiency (AMS) and export tariffs (TXS) on the food sector, with the assumption of eliminating non-tariff barriers. Additionally, the estimation of medium- and long-term ripple effects is based on the assumption of mobility in production factors.
 Results: The analysis confirms that implementation of the IPEF could lower South Korea's food import prices and diversify the supply chain, providing advantages. However, it also highlights a drawback in which the self-sufficiency rate may decrease if non-tariff barriers are completely eliminated.
 Conclusions: The government should actively engage in IPEF negotiations while requiring a more sophisticated approach in order to adjust non-tariff barriers to an appropriate level.","PeriodicalId":368687,"journal":{"name":"Korean Academy Of International Commerce","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
