Competitiveness has been associated in the tourism literature as a crucial factor for the success of tourist destinations. This study is to develop indicators that measure destination competitiveness of rural tourism townships in Korea. It was conducted via a Delphi technique and the analytical hierarchy process method. After four rounds of discussions, the panel members reached consensus on a set of 27 indicators with three dimensions which are attractor (resource, infrastructure, and tourism products), assistance (tourism business assistance and value-added processing assistance), and planning and management (planning for development, capacity for management). This set of destination competitiveness indicators can serve as a starting point for devising a set of indicators at the local level in order to be useful rural tourism sector manager and administrators. The selected indicators are measurable, demand driven and practical to show the real performance in rural destination.

The purposes of this research are to verify: first, if the technology appraisal model reflects the company's management performance and the rates of bankruptcy and overdue; second, if the existing classification system of technology levels is suitable; and third, which is the most important appraisal factor that defines the classification system of technology levels. As a result of the analysis, financial performance (stability) and non-financial performance (technology environment) proved to be significant variables in explaining technology ratings. According to the verification of the suitability of classification system, it appeared that there is a significant difference in all appraisal items of all groups. The result of neural networks model verification indicates that the most important variable was the R&D capacity, the second variables which determine the suitability of technology financing were indicators related to the company management. The second variables which determine a company's technological excellence were a company's technological base. To summarize, the technology appraisal model not only reflects both managerial performance and risks of a company, but also anticipates the future by converging the management competence and technological competitiveness into R&D capacity. This implies that if the 'forward-looking' technology appraisal model is integrated into the existing, credit rating model, the appraisal model may have positive impact on improving anticipation and stability.

Evaluation indicators reflecting recent digital environments are needed as a tool to increase research library's competitiveness and productivity. Especially, research libraries have different subject backgrounds and there are many one-person libraries. In this study, we developed new evaluation indicators based on the draft indicators made in 2007 considering these environmental elements so that it may be used easily and applicable to various research libraries. In developing the new indicators, we reviewed other library type's indicators and listened carefully to the comments from expert librarians in the research libraries through several meetings. After developing the indicators, we made a survey in order to verify its validity as well as its effectiveness and also made a test evaluation for research libraries. The proposed indicators will contribute in evaluating the current level of Korean research libraries and promoting them to the future-oriented libraries.

The Internet is now an integral part of the everyday lives of a majority of people. Web users are demanding web sites that offer credible information. This study tired to comprehensively extract the factors that affect the perception web credibility based on preceding researches and develop of indicators for evaluating the web credibility by goodness-fit analysis. I modified more than 100 factors which presented by preceding researches to 28 factors, and allocated these factors into the hierarchical categories like followings; trustworthiness, expertness, safety are categorized as first level factors, trustfulness and reputation are placed to sub-factors of trustworthiness, usefulness, timeliness and competency to sub-factors of expertness, security and reliability to sub-factors of safety as second level factors. Finally this study developed evaluating indicators for web credibility by goodness-of fit analysis.

The modal spilt of highway has been increased and the one of railway has been decreased from 17.2%(1990) to 6.3%(2006). In this context, it is meaningful to examine the competitiveness of the railroad of Korea. The objective of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of railroad with the highway so that countermeasures improving the competitiveness of railroad could be suggested. For this, firs of all, indicators representing the competitiveness of the railroad transport are determined. The main influencing factors for mode choice include transport time, transport cost and level of service. Three types of commodity, container, cement and steel are the target for the analysis. It was found that the overall competitiveness of railroad transport is weaker compared with highway even for the main freight origin-destination pairs. It means that the freight transport system is focused on road rather than railroad. Therefore, we need to remeasure the competitiveness of railroad transport related to methods for freight railroad competitiveness improvement.

The quality of statistics as a product is necessary to increase the competition of the nation. It will also improve the nation. In 2002 KNSO(Korea National Statistical Office) assessed 12 statistics produced by KNSO using 48 statistics quality evaluation indices. However, there are some difficulties in assessing the quality of the statistics correctly and in establishing policies for the improvement of the quality of statistics due to a lack of staff and organizations. Moreover there are insufficient statistics quality evaluation indices comparing main international organizations and developed countries. In this paper, we developed 81 statistics quality evaluation indices by revising and complementing the current indices of KNSO and divided these indices into 7 dimensions. These indices can be classified by dimensions or procedures, and also used according to statistics.

To enhance its efficiency to improve organizations' competitiveness, performance evaluation is vital and it influences budget, policies, and human resource affairs of the organizations. The study aims to develop performance indicators for National Library of Korea (NLK) and evaluate performance based on indicators driven. As a result, the study develops 2 viewpoints for each work area of NLK - management of information system, digital resources enlargement, and the cooperative utilization system for alternative materials. It also develops total 12 indicators. Based on the evaluation;the research finally suggests strategies for performance improvement by viewpoints for NLK.

현재 국내 원자력 발전산업은 상당한 기술자립을 이루었고, 외국으로의 기술 수출을 시도하고 있을 정도로 상당한 경쟁력을 갖고 있다는 의견이 지배적이다. 실제 한국전력, 원자력 연구소 등에서는 원자력 기술을 해외에 수출하고자 노력하고 있다. 원자력 발전기술의 해외 수출이나 연구개발 사업에서 가장 중요한 지표 중의 하나가 원자력 발전산업의 기술수준 또는 기술경쟁력이다. 또한 국외 뿐 아니라 국내에서도 발전원별 경쟁체재 도입으로 인해 원자력 발전의 경쟁력 평가는 원자력의 타 발전원 대비 경쟁력 확보 측면에서 중요한 사항이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 원자력 발전산업의 효율적인 기술개발 전략 수립을 지원하기 위한 모델을 System Dynamics 방법론을 사용하여 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 원자력 발전산업의 기술경쟁력 평가를 위한 변수 및 평가범위를 선정하고, 선정된 변수들의 인과관계를 정성적으로 평가할수 있도록 인과지도(Casual Loop Diagram)를 개발하였으며, 이를 정량화하여 평가할 수 있도록 흐름도(Stock Flow Diagram)를 개발하였다. 개발된 모델을 사용하여 총 연구비 등의 정책관련 변수들을 변화시키면서 시뮬레이션을 수행해보았다. 본 연구의 한 결과로서 기준 시나리오에 대한 분석 결과 2004년 이후의 원자력발전산업 순편익 누적 결과는 다음과 같다. 순편익 누적(억원) : 2015(년도) 19,169, 2025(년도) 61,396, 2035(년도) 106,598, 2045(년도) 143,813, 발전 비용 감소분 누적(억원) : 2015(년도) 9,370, 2025(년도) 39,182, 2035(년도) 73,409, 2045(년도) 103,212, 국산화율 증가로 인한 수입액 감소분 누적(억원) : 2015(년도) 6,388, 2025(년도) 13,367, 2035(년도) 18,756, 2045(년도) 22,595, 시장점유율 증가로 인한 수출액 증가분 누적(억원) : 2015(년도) 3,411, 2025(년도) 8,847, 2035(년도) 14,433, 2045(년도) 18,005 또한 시나리오 비교평가를 실시하여 본 결과, 본 연구에서 정의한 순편익 누적(Cumulative Net Profit) 변수를 적용하면 현재 연구비 추세 대비 $30\%$ 까지 연구비를 증가 시키는 것이 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.

We evaluate the technical competitiveness of Korea in lubricating oil industries by comparatively analyzing the patent activities. In achieving the goal, we collect and statistically analyze the historical patent data of lubricants production technologies. We here consider nine technology groups classified by their raw material types and process features of four countries such as USA, Japan, EU and Korea. We then evaluate Korea's competitiveness in lubricating oil industries using different patent index including patent family size, cites per patent, patent impact index and technology strength. Based on the evaluation results, we finally propose the practical strategies to improve Korea's competitiveness in lubricants industries.
