해운기업의 선박투자 의사결정 방식에 관한 연구

초록

The shipping industry is characterized by high volatility. The freight and ship market industry can provide its investors with a chance to succeed, but it can also become a reason for them to fail on their shipping investments. The present study has found that Korea’s shipping companies have been highly influenced by, and put emphasis on, heuristic market sentiments and the analysis of a ship’s investment‐making potential. Moreover, because the shipping industry requires a decision‐maker to make prompt decisions, errors can occur due to a speedy analysis. Making a decision under shipping circumstances has to equate for high volatility, and investment patterns are sometimes limited. Small‐sized, tramper, and ownership‐based shipping companies are less influenced by analytical shipping investment patterns. Korea’s shipping industry structure is primarily small, tramper and ownership‐based, and a number of those companies have rapidly increased. They currently face bankruptcy or are suffering from a liquidity crunch. In light of this fact, it is important for Korean shipping companies to reduce heuristic market sentiments. These companies should consider pursuing analytical ship‐investment patterns through accurate information gathering and the use of trained experts.
