본 연구의 목적은 정보산업의 발달로 급변하고 있는 교육환경하에서 인트라넷(intranet)을 활용한 경영모의게임(Business Simulation Game)의 활용방안을 제시하고, 이러한 수업이 갖는 장점 및 수업효과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 즉, 학생들이 팀을 이루어 게임을 하는데 있어 남녀별, 직장경험별, MBTI의 특성 별, 팀 구성원의 수의 차이에 따른 게임 성과 및 수업효과와의 상호관계를 실증적으로 비교, 연구하여, 궁극적으로는 한국교육실정에 맞는 인트라넷을 이용한 경영 모의 게임의 개발을 그 목적으로 하고 있다. 근래에 정보 및 통신기술의 발전과 인터넷 사용의 보편화로 여러 가지 학문 분야에서 정보화 및 국제화가 많이 이루어져왔다. 특히 인터넷과 관련된 여러 가지 기술(technology)들을 적극적으로 통합, 활용하고자 하는 인트라넷(intranet)의 발전은 정보기술의 여러 학문 분야에서의 활용가능성을 더욱 높이고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 이러한 인터넷, 정보 및 통신기술의 교육현장에서의 활용 방안에 대한 많은 연구들은 실질적으로 그 이론적 배경 및 효과에 대한 깊은 연구없이 종래의 교육방법에 대한 대안 또는 보조 역할로서의 가능성만 제시하고 있는 형편이다. 따라서 본 연구는 첫째, 경영모의게임과 정보통신기술의 활용을 위한 학술진흥방안의 하나로서 인트라넷을 이용한 경영모의게임 과목의 구축및 수행에 관한 구체적인 절차를 제시한다. 즉 경영모의게임 구성은 어떤 모듈들이 어떻게 인터넷상에서 사용되었으며, 도한 게임의 운영은 어떻게 하는것이 바람직한가 등에 관한 연구이다. 둘째, 성별, 직장경험별, MBTI 특성별, 팀의 크기별로 게임성과 및 수업효과에 관한 실증적 연구를 함으로써, 게임 이론의 경영마인드 형성 및 정보화에서 예견 될수 있는 여러 가지 문제점 및 가능성을 지적하여, 한국문화 및 현실에 맞는 정보화를 이용한 경영모의게임 교육방안을 제시한다. 셋째, 본 연구는 의사결정지원 시스템(DSS), 전문가 시스템(ES), 전자우편(E-mail)등과 같은 정보기술의 교육현장에서의 활용방안 및 그 교육적 효과도 점검하였으며, 마지막으로 본 연구는 당면현실로 다가온 정보화 및 세계화의 기업환경에서 예견되는 몰입(committment)의 약화에 대한 치유방안으로서, 정보화된 경영모의게임의 기업 교육훈련 시스템(Business Training System)으로의 발전 가능성을 제시한다 하겠다.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the 11th International Classification System (ICD-11), which classifies game addiction as a disease in 2018. Sin stocks are defined as the companies that have negative addictive properties and are taxed on social costs. If a game disorder is listed in the disease classification system in Korea, it is highly likely that Korean game companies may be considered as sin stocks that causes negative addictive properties and social costs such as the game addiction and the game addiction tax. This suggests that game companies could be newly included in the scope of sin stocks in Korea. In this study, we examine the effect of the inclusion of game companies in the scope of sin stocks on the job preferences of game companies. We found that there is a high level of opposition to the opinion of the listing sin stocks of game companies, and a high degree of addiction and gambling was suggested as the cause of the game companies being classified as sin stocks. We also found that firm value and job preference would be decrease if a game company was classified as sin stocks. The study is meaningful in that it suggests that game companies can be perceived negatively as sin stocks due to the disease code of game disorder, which has recently emerged as a social issue. Also, this study will contribute to the academia and market participants by reporting statistically the effect of the classification of sin stocks in game companies on job preferences for game companies.

본 논문의 목적은 벤처캐피탈(Venture Capitalist)의 투자전략을 게임이론을 통해 분석하고 이해하자는 것이다. 벤처캐피탈은 성장가능성은 높지만 불확실한 벤처기업에 투자하는 전문투자자이다. 벤처캐피탈은 이익을 극대화하기 위해서 성장가능성이 크고 위험관리가 가능한 기업에 투자를 하여야 한다. 하지만, 벤처캐피탈은 일반적으로 제한된 시간과 벤처기업의 속성 때문에 기업에 대한 정보가 부족한 상태에서 투자결정을 내려야 하는 경우가 대부분이다. 투자가 이루어진 후 벤처캐피탈은 벤처기업의 운영 및 기업활동을 감시(Monitor)하고 자문활동(Consulting Activity)을 수행하면서 차츰 기업에 대한 정보를 습득하게 되고 기업의 가치를 판단할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문은 앞에서 기술한 바와 같은 정보 불확실성 상태에서 창업자의 효용(utility)와 벤처캐피탈의 가치평가(value evaluation)를 바탕으로 벤처캐피탈의 투자전략을 게임이론을 통해 분석하였다. 본 논문은 벤처캐피탈이 전환사채형태의 투자를 하는 논거를 밝혀내었다.

Determining the price of a newly developed game product is a substantial matter affecting many aspects of corporate management. An appropriate pricing based on the proper data encourages consumers to purchase products repeatedly Yet presently most game companies prefer to set a price according to the cost including developing expense, advertising expense and law materials. As a result that price does not reveal the rue value of the product, many corporations face the demerits in the corporate management including the low sales, the loss of client and the poor promotion. This study has emphasis on the evaluating the price according to the consumer view rather than either corporate or industrial view. The price preference research analysis shows that Korean gamers prefer the price ranging around 30 thousand won in the simulation game, RPG game, and arcade game. In the online game, around 20 thousand won is the preferred price. This difference explains well the features of each game categories.
