Especially, inter- industrial convergence based on ICT leads the new waves in IT/Electronics industry and intensify global competition. With the new industrial flows, Global Value Chain (GVC) is under continuous development and expansion. Moreover, because of radical changes in competitive composition and ecosystem, structural aspect of GVC is also undergoing reform and innovation. The purpose of this research is analyzing the current status of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in GVC and identifying successful cases of SMEs in global market, then review issues related to successful responses to changing market environment and strategies for stakeholders of GVC. Also, various views and ideas will be considered to derive ways to GVC upgrade for SMEs and policy objectives for governments based on outcomes of a series of Public-Private Expert Forums (PPEF) and a GVC workshop. In GVC, production of goods and services occurs in manufacturing network which is divided into many stages, and a firm's value chain

  • The Korean Wave As a Localizing Process: Nation As a Global Actor in Cultural Production
    THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ju Oak Kim May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Patrick Murphy, Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Dal Yong Jin, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University © Copyright 2016 by Ju Oak Kim All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the production system. This research focused on how three agencies – the government, public broadcasting, and the culture industry – have negotiated their relationships in the process of globalization, and how the power dynamics of these three production sectors have been influenced by Korean society’s politics, economy, geography, and culture. The importance of the national media system was identified in the (re)production of the Korean Wave phenomenon by examining how public broadcasting-centered media ecology has control over the development of the popular music culture within Korean society. The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS)’s weekly show, Music Bank, was the subject of analysis regarding changes in the culture of media production in the phase of globalization. In-depth interviews with media professionals and consumers who became involved in the show production were conducted in order to grasp the patterns that Korean television has generated in the global expansion of local cultural practices.

    SM Entertainment (041510 KQ ) Positive on KeyEast/FNC Add Culture acquisitions Acquisition of rivals to strengthen content production business; Maintain positive view Entertainment We reaffirm our Buy call and target price of W50,000 on SM Entertainment. We continue to maintain a positive view on entertainment firms’ entry into content Company Report productio n, and believe SM Entertainment’s latest acquisitions will broaden the company’s opportunities in this area. We believe investors should focus on new March 15, 2018 business prospects rather than dilution (4.2%) from the share issue. Since 2015, the secondary businesse s (F&B, fashion, cosmetics) of entertainment firms (including SM Entertainment) have been largely disappointing, weighing on their overall earnings. However, we think there is clear potential for synergy between SM (Maintain) Buy Entertainment’s core business and content production, especially in terms of the use of artist-creator resources and the financial compatibility of advertising and content Target Price (12M, W) 50,000 production (stability and profitability).
