Country Commercial Guide: Korea (Country Commercial Guides)
Manufacturer: Books for Business ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0894990438 |
Book Description
Korea is one of the United States' largest trading partners. Currently, it is our sixth largest export market, bigger than those of Australia, Brazil, China, France, or Italy. It is our second fastest growing market for high-tech exports, and it is our fourth largest market for food products. U.S. exports to Korea are increasing and will continue showing double-digit growth in the months ahead. However, it would be a mistake for corporate America to become complacent about this market. This huge export opportunity has not gone unnoticed by our EU and Asia-Pacific competitors. Their direct investments in Korea are steadily expanding and the EU has displaced the U.S. as Korea's largest investor. We predict that the months ahead will see extreme competition as both foreign and domestic firms vie for positions of leadership in this lucrative and growing market.These opportunities notwithstanding, Korea also has been described as one of the toughest markets in the world for doing business, a place where foreign firms must do their homework and take nothing for granted. A thorough read of this 2001 Country Commercial Guide (CCG) for Korea will go a long way toward helping U.S. companies realize success in this exciting and dynamic market.
Moreover, it is anticipated that leading-edge IT companies will soon overtake Korea's traditional manufacturers as the leaders driving Korea's future economic growth. Korean electronic commerce is expected to double annually for the next five years. With the expansion of demand, imports from the U.S. for semiconductor equipment are estimated to grow at an average annual rate of 25% through 2001. Korea's environmental market will exceed $8.8 billion this year and is expected to grow by 15% annually over the next five years, and will offer countless business opportunities for U.S. exporters.
Over the next 20 years, the Korean government will be spending over $300 billion on infrastructure projects, especially in regions outside of Seoul, (airports, roads, ports, railways, mega-resorts) and is seeking U.S. architectural and engineering expertise. In addition, Korea has allocated almost $60 billion to build nation-wide, over 100 new power generation facilities, while the Korean state-owned energy sector (power generation, oil and gas) is being privatized and is providing great opportunities for U.S. energy companies.

S. C. Graves , and A. H. G. Rinnooy Kan Manufacturer: North Holland ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0444874720 |

Hardbound. The essays collected in this volume present a broad survey of the state of the art in logistics systems research as viewed by a distinguished group of scholars. The book shows that logistics remains an active, vibrant subject of inquiry. The reasons for this continued development are the following. Firstly, logistic systems are extremely complex with many inherent technical problems, and fundamently new approaches to the subject are frequently arising. Secondly, the practical world of logistics has changed markedly over the past few decades, posing significant new challenges to researchers. This volume focuses mainly on the key developments in the last decade.

Keys to understanding ERP.......2002-07-14
First, this book thoroughly describes materials management, workflow and production capacity, and does so in a clear manner. I especially appreciate the fact that the authors take pains to define and explain every term and concept that they introduce. This is a refreshing change from many book in which assumptions about the reader's knowledge is made, which often leads to frustration or misunderstanding. It also removes any ambiguity and ensures that terms that can have multiple meaning are placed into their proper context.
Second, some of the material is out of date. For example the cited limitations of MRP software applications that existed when this book was written in 1993 have long since been rectified in the newer ERP packages from SAP, Baan and J.D. Edwards. However, even in the obviously out-of-date sections of this book are hidden gems, such as the Class ABCD System that was first developed by Oliver Wright as a means of classifying the maturity of MRP implementations based on answers to a 35 question checklist. This checklist can be applied with virtually no modification to ERP systems. Other gems include the way the authors distill major concepts into their salient points, such as TQM, and show how they relate to MRP, again, the same comparisons can be applied to ERP.
The best thing about this book, however, is the detailed treatment of inventory control, materials requirements management, capacity planning and workflow - all of which are as integral to ERP as they are to the older MRP systems that this book describes. As you read this book you will gain an intimate knowledge of how everything works and fits together instead of a high-level conceptual understanding. That, in my opinion, is the best reason to get this book and thoroughly read it. In addition to this book I also recommend "Manufacturing Data Structures: Building Foundations for Excellence With Bills of Materials and Process Information" by Jerry Clement, John Sari and Andy Coldrick. That book adds the information systems perspective that is based on modern ERP systems and seamlessly augments the material in this book.
