SK텔레콤, 해외사업은 계속 '꽝'인 이유...
국내에서는 1위 무선통신사업자인 SK 텔레콤이지만, 유독 해외무대에서는 연이은 고배를 마셨다. 미국과 중국 같은 여러 해외시장에 발을 들여놓으려고 지난 6년 동안 노력해왔지만 대부분이 실패했다. 정만원 SKT 전 대표도 이런 현상을 빗대어 “잃어버린 6년”이란 표현을 썼을 정도다. 국내에서는 우수한 성적을 거두는 SKT가 해외시장에서 맥을 추스르지 못하는 이유는 해외시장에 대한 이해부족과 과감한 재정적인 투자가 뒷받침이 되지 않았기 때문이라고 전문가들은 얘기한다. “통신망이라는 게 국가적인 재산인데 성공하기가 쉽지 않다. 기왕 할거면 엄청난 투자가 들어가야 하는데 그런 부분은 하지 못하면서 퍼포먼스는 빨리 내고 싶어하기 때문”이라고 안재민 키움증권 애널리스트는 말했다. 시장에 대한 이해없이 사업을 벌인 대

여성은 약지가 긴 남성에게 호감 느껴
손가락 길이 비교: 당신의 네번째 손가락은 두번째 손가락 보다 깁니까? 남자의 약지(네 번째 손가락)가 검지보다 길수록 여성들이 호감을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.영국의 브리티시 로열 소사이어티에서 발간한 저널 '바이오로지컬 사이언스'에서 발표된 이 연구 결과는 태아기의 호르몬 노출 여부, 특정 신체적 특성의 발전, 그리고 이성을 끄는 매력의 연관성을 밝혔다.이 연구는 인간의 행동은 후천적인 것보다 자연적인 것에 의해 더 많은 영향을 받는다고 말한다. 이전의 연구들에서는 이미 검지와 약지의 길이 차이가 자궁에서의 테스토스테론(남성 호르몬) 노출 빈도를 보여주는 척도라고 밝혀진 바 있다. 검지와 약지의 차이가 클수록 남성 호르몬의 영향을 더 많이 받은 것으로 드러났다.이 연구를 주도한 제네바 대학의 연구진은 여성
