SummaryStrategic partnerships in research and development (R&D) are a new form of international relationship distinguishable from more traditional forms of joint ventures and licensing arrangements by three main characteristics. First, they are focused on joint knowledge production and sharing as opposed to a one-way transfer of technology-where knowledge is understood to include research and development, as well as design, engineering, marketing and management capabilities. Second, they are frequently contractual in nature with little or no equity involvement by the participants. Third, they tend to be part of the longer term planning activity of the firm rather than simply an opportunistic response to short-term financial gain.
After briefly tracing the extent to which R&D has become both more collaborative and more internationalized, the paper offers an explanation for this process and an illustration of strategic partnering activity in the context of the European Strategic Programme for Research and Development on Information Technology (ESPRIT). Lastly, it draws out some of the implications of this new form of international competition for the newly industrialized economies (NIEs). -

Socialist countries have recently undergone a sudden change in political, economic and social reform due to the spread of Gorbachev's perestroika policy. This is expected to affect Korea's diplomatic policy toward socialist countries including the Soviet Union, China, East European countries and North Korea. This seminar provided perspectives for development of relations between Korea and Socialist countries and suggested perspectives of economic and social integration after German unification. -

Financial crisis, Exchange rateDownloadContentSummaryThis paper explains the background and recent history of the exchange rate system in Korea and discusses the policy implications for its management of exchange risk.
This paper is organized as follows. Section II examines the characteristics of the exchange rate system, focusing on the international balance of payments and the management of currency. Section III analyzes the exchange rate fluctuations under different systems using statistical analysis, time series analysis and correlation analysis. Section IV estimates how an observational error of the exchange rate fluctuations according to the change of their system has affected corporate decision-making processes. Section V reveals how corporations have taken some measures to avoid exchange rate risk. In addition, it finds some points to be further improved for the Korean government's exchange rate system and suggests institutional devices for the management of exchange risk. Summary and policy implications are provided in Section VI. -

Multilateral negotiationsDownloadContentSummarySince the 1990s, the Uruguay Round agreement made at the eighth multilateral GATT negotiations is expected to give rise to trade creation by addressing a wide range of agenda in a multilateral format. Thus, the result of UR will affect the Korean economy substantially, which is the 10th largest nation in trade volume. From a practical standpoint, with the participation of many distinguished scholars and experts, this seminar re-illuminated the meaning and perspective of UR negotiations and discussed important issues such as service, textiles and clothing, TRIPs and agriculture. In addition, it offered a forum to deliberate on Korea's negotiation strategy for the UR negotiations.
