韓國製造業의 國際競爭力 變化에 對한 硏究

Abstract

本 硏究에서는 기존의 國際競爭力에 對한 槪念과 理論에 대한 比較 考察을 통해 國際競爭力의 槪念, 分析틀, 決定要因, 評價方法 等을 정립해 보았고, 이를 바탕으로 自動車 産業의 國際競爭力 變化 및 競爭戰略의 方向을 추적해 보았다.

결과 우리나라 自動車 産業의 世界的인 競爭位置를 파악할 수 있었으며, 先進 自動車 産業國의 競爭戰略 변화 및 우리나라 自動車 産業의 競爭戰略 변화와 우리나라 自動車 産業의 여건을 고려한 향후 戰略方向을 제시할 수 있었다. 世界 自動車 産業의 주도권은 1920년대의 美國으로부터 유럽, 일본을 거쳐 점차 開發途上國으로 이전되고 있다. 그 중에서도 우리나라는 독자적인 技術能力 向上과 저렴한 勞務費를 바탕으로 급격하게 自動車 産業을 발전시키고 있어 世界 自動車 産業의 제 4차 변혁을 주도할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이를 위해서 우리나라 自動車 産業이 해결해야 할 과제는 品質水準의 향상을 위한 技術開發, 規模의 經濟를 실현하기 위한 內需基盤의 確保, 生産費의 引下를 위한 效率的인 生産시스템의 開發, 部品業體의 品質競爭力 向上, 輸出地域의 다변화, 製品開發力 및 販賣網의 강화를 위한 先進國 企業과의 보다 긴밀한 協力關係 모색 등이라고 하겠다.

In this study, we attempted to establish the concept, analysis framework, determinats and evaluation methods of international competitiveness through a comparative study of existing various concept and theories about international competitiveness. On this basis, we overviewed the changing patterns of international competitiveness and competitive strategy major autmobile industry countries. By this overview, we could find out the competitive position of Korean automobile industry in the world automobile industry, and we could suggest the direction of competitive strategy of Korean automobile industry regarding the experiences of advanced automobile industry countries and the current economic conditions of Korea.

In 1920s, American auto-industry had the leading power of world auto-industry, and afterwards the leading power has been transferred to Europe and Japan in due sequence, and recently to developing countries gradually.

Among the developing countries, Korea is expected to lead the fourth transformation of world auto-industry because of her rapid growth of auto industry on the basis of her development of relevant technological ability and abundant low cost labour.

For the above leadership, Korean auto-industry has to solve the following tasks such as technological development to strengthen the quality competitiveness, maintenance of domestic demand level to acheive the economies of scale in automobile production, development of efficient production system for production cost down, improvement of quality competitiveness of auto-parts suppliers, diversification of export areas, searching for more intensive cooperative relations with advanced countries automobile companies to strengthen the product design ability and the worldwide marketing network of automobile, etc.
