중국의 국경 간 전자상거래 현황과 남북한 전자상거래 협력방안에 관한 연구

Purpose – This study considers a realistic plan for introducing e-commerce between South and North Korea in terms of designing a future-oriented inter-Korean trade system, amid the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce worldwide. Design/Methodology/Approach – For this purpose, based on the current status of cross-border e-commerce, we examine the progress and revitalization strategies of cross-border e-commerce in China, and provide implications for inter-Korean trade through the analysis of North Korea's e-commerce introduction and multilateral cooperation cases. Findings – As a step-by-step direction for inter-Korean e-commerce cooperation in consideration of internal and external conditions, we suggest a plan to first establish a promotion system between South and North Korea and China, and propose a plan to open and operate dedicated logistics facilities in the North-China border area. Second, it is necessary to improve the system and simplify the procedure to prepare a one-stop system for inter-Korean e-commerce. Third, starting with a B2B method, processes gradually expand to a B2C or C2C method. Fourth, we propose a method of selecting and operating a pilot item group and company, and then examining whether the target items and participants will be gradually expanded. Research Implications – In the meantime, study on the introduction of e-commerce between South and North Korea has been cut off for a long time, and in this situation, this study can be meaningful in that it presents a step-by-step approach to market creation while minimizing risks for the proponents.
