Real option thinking can provide a strategic agility, especially when IT managers consider ERP investment projects. Managing financial and IT risks is critical for the success of ERP investment projects. We examine whether Korean IT managers apply the real option thinking when considering ERP investment projects. On the basis of a survey data collection, we validate hypotheses based on existing literature in IT and finance. Notably, Korean IT managers consider only volatility among financial risk variables and two important IT risk variables, namely, requirement changes and continuous training costs.

This essay aims to look into the possibility and limit of a technological fix with the PSD (platform screen door), which was proposed as the solution of subway risk problems. Subway risk problems may be classified into five categories-on-rail accidents, in-station accidents, platform accidents, spatial risks in underground, and risks due to a crime or terror-, and the platform accidents, which happens at the interface between the rail and the station, is the most serious and prominent. The PSD is considered as an effective technical means to prevent platform accidents. However, there remains a possibility of aggravating unexpected and invisible risks. When a fire breaks out in platforms, especially at exchange stations during the rush hour, the PSD can become a "wall of outcrying", since it may act as the "safety shutter" which killed many people in the 2003 Daegu subway disaster. This is why we need to look into the limit of a technological fix with the PSD.

We surveyed the emotional images of three kinds of scientific technologies in people's mind and the perception of technologies in terms of their risks and benefits. The contents of the image and their image values were used to estimate the affects on each technology. As an affect heuristic hypothesis predicted, people perceived the technology more beneficial or riskier depending on their overall affect. In other words, those who have positive affect on the technology Perceived less risky and more beneficial than those who have negative affect. On the other hand, those who have negative affect on the technology perceived riskier and less beneficial than those who have positive affect. We also found negative relationship between the perceived risk and perceived benefit of each technology. The implications of our findings that suggest affective heuristic were discussed in terms of the measurements of affect and the necessity of communication of scientific technologies with the public.

In this study, we suggested the direction to lower the risk by analyzing the risk factors for each process for the hydrogen refueling station to be installed in Chungju. HyRAM, one of the quantitative risk assessment tools for hydrogen gas, was used to analyze the hazards. By evaluating the frequency of accidents and consequences for each process, the most dangerous processes and accident factors were presented, and the risk mitigation factors were synthesized. Hydrogen refueling stations are currently in the global infrastructure expansion period, and the lack of accident data could be an alternative to this risk assessment and is expected to be used as a reference for the future expansion of hydrogen refueling stations.

최근 우리나라는 기후변화의 영향에 의해 국지적으로 집중호우가 발생하고 있으며, 홍수로 인해지역적으로 사회적, 경제적 피해가 증가하고 있다. 이에 사전에 홍수로 인한 피해에 대비하고자 기상청에서는 호우특보를 발령하고 있으며, 환경부에서는 하천을 중심으로 홍수특보를 발령하고 있다. 그러나 호우특보는 전국을 동일한 판단기준을 활용하고 있으며, 홍수특보는 하천 중심으로 홍수에 대한 위험을 예보를 제공하여 사전에 행정구역에서 홍수에 대비하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 사전에 홍수에 대비하기 위한 방법으로 과거 홍수피해 자료를 활용하여 홍수위험을 평가하고, 이를 활용하여 재난인자인 강우량과 홍수량에 대한 판단 기준을 행정구역별로 제시하고자 하였다. 홍수위험 판단 기준을 설정하기 위해서 과거 홍수피해 사상별 강우량, 홍수피해액, 홍수피해 현상 등을 조사하였으며, 홍수피해 현상은 각종 기사 및 뉴스 등을 활용하여 수집하였다. 강우량 기준은 행정구역 내 존재하는 강우관측소 자료를 활용하였으며, 홍수량 기준 적용 지점은 담당 공무원의 의견과 과거 홍수피해 이력이 있는 지역에 대해 설정하였다. 각 홍수위험 판단기준은 위험정도에 따라 4개로 구분하여 제시하였다. 향후 본 연구에서 제시된 홍수위험 판단기준은 사전에 홍수위험을 인지하고 대비하기 위한 대응단계 설정에 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 자율운항선박의 예측 가능한 운항 경로 상에 잠재된 비상상황을 인식하기 위하여 운항 해역의 항적 정보를 활용한 방안과 이를 기반으로 충돌 위험과 같은 비상위험을 식별하는 프레임워크를 설계하였다. 설계한 프레임워크는 크게 항적 특성 분석 모듈, 항로예측 모듈, 위험 식별 모듈로 구성된다. 항적 특성 분석 모듈에서는 자율운항선박의 운항 해역에 관한 선박들의 항적 정보를 활용하기 위하여, 대상 VTS 관제 영역 내에서 취합된 누적 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 데이터를 이용하여 선박의 항적 특성을 분석하여 데이터베이스(DB)를 생성하였다. 그리고 운항 경로 예측 모듈에서는 누적된 항적 정보와 자율운항선박의 현재 운항 정보를 기반으로 특정 시간 동안의 운항 경로를 예측하기 위한 학습 네트워크 모델을 구성하였다. 마지막으로, 위험 식별 모듈에서는 예측한 운항 경로 상에 최근접점과 최근접점 거리 정보를 이용하여 충돌 위험 가능성이 있는 충돌위험영역을 식별하였다. 설계한 프레임워크는 자율운항선박의 육상 관제소에서 원격 제어를 통해 위험상황을 인지하고 회피할 수 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있음을 실제 항적 데이터를 활용하여 그 결과를 검증하였다.

A considerable number of construction disasters occurs on pathway. A safety management in construction sites is usually performed to prevent accidents in activity areas. This means that safety management level of hazards on pathway is relatively minified. Many researchers have introduced that a hazard identification is fundamental of safety management. Thus, algorithms for helping safety managers' hazardous area identification is developed using automated data collection technology. These algorithms primarily search potential hazardous area by comparing workers' location logs based on real-time locating system and optimal routes based on BIM. And potential hazardous areas is filtered by identified hazardous areas and activity areas. After that, safety managers are provided with information about potential hazardous areas and can establish proper safety countermeasures. This can help improving safety in construction sites.

Technology innovation activity plays a pivotal role in constructing the entrance barrier for other firms and making process improvement and new product. and these activities give a profit increase and growth to firms. Thus, technology innovation activity can reduce the default risk of firms. However, technology innovation activity can also increase the firm's default risk because technology innovation activity requires too much investment of the firm's resources and has the uncertainty on success. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of technology innovation activity on the default risk of firms. This study's sample consists of manufacturing firms listed on the Korea Securities Market and The Kosdaq Market from January 1,2000 to December 31, 2008. This study makes use of R&D intensity as an proxy variable of technology innovation activity. The default probability which proxies the default risk of firms is measured by the Merton's(l974) debt pricing model. The main empirical results are as follows. First, from the empirical results, it is found that technology innovation activity has a negative and significant effect on the default risk of firms independent of the Korea Securities Market and Kosdaq Market. In other words, technology innovation activity reduces the default risk of firms. Second, technology innovation activity reduces the default risk of firms independent of firm size, firm age, and credit score. Third, the results of robust analysis also show that technology innovation activity is the important factor which decreases the default risk of firms. These results imply that a manager must show continuous interest and investment in technology innovation activity of one's firm. And a policymaker also need design an economic policy to promote the technology innovation activity of firms.

본 연구에서는 자율운항선박의 원격 관제 및 제어하는 과정에서 원격 운항자에게 사전 충돌 위험 정보를 제공하기 위해 선박자동식별시스템(AIS, Automatic Identification System)의 항적 정보를 토대로 자율운항선박의 운항 경로 상에 잠재된 충돌 위험 영역을 예측하기 위한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 자율운항선박의 운항 경로 상에 근접한 타선의 AIS 정보에는 기본적으로 선박의 위치, 속도, 침로에 대한 정보가 반영되어 있으므로, 이러한 정보를 토대로 일정 시간 동안 운항 경로를 예측할 수 있다. 그리고 예측한 정보를 기반으로 대표적 충돌 위험 지수인 최근접점(CPA, Closest Point of Approach)과 최근접점 거리(DCPA, Distance to CPA) 정보를 활용하여 충돌 위험 영역을 2차원 공간상에서 예측하였다. 제안된 방법은 실제 AIS 항적 데이터를 활용한 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 초기 결과를 검증하였다.
