OSS(Open source software) pursues the freedom to have access to open source and offers several advantages, over the proprietary software, to enterprises. Based upon Rogers(1995)' innovation-diffusion process, we assume that attributes of innovations includes five characteristics of innovations: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability, and that firms' perceptions of these characteristics predict the rate of adoption of OSS. To test this hypothesis, we presents a survey result from 201 companies and institutions concerning the use of OSS. Statistical analysis shows that adoption is highly correlated with each of those characteristics of innovations, but the regression analysis indicates that only compatibility and observability have effects on the adoption of OSS. This implies that intrinsic value of OSS is important, but unless the appropriate service package for improving IT environment is provided, it is not easy to change the perspective of corporate customers more favorable toward OSS use. As a conclusion, the academic and practical implications are also discussed.

This paper explores the technology resource-based determinants influencing internationalization performance of Korean software-related new ventures. On the ground of the study by Zahra et al.(2003), this paper aims to test empirically in Korea how interaction effects of tangible and intangible technological resources, as firm capability, are related to software new ventures' internationalization performance. The test results shows that intangible technological resource represented by R&D intensity is not significantly related to internationalization performance, but reveals that intangible technological resource represented by strength of technological cooperation network and technological reputation is positively and significantly associated with internationalization performance. Internationalization performance is more significantly and positively associated with the interactions of tangible technological resource and intangible technological resource than those resources respectively. The implication for the findings in the paper is that cutting edge technological capability of software new ventures can be more closely associated with internationalization performance if those resources are fully utilized or leveraged by intangible resources acquired by cooperation with local networks and created through technological reputation of new ventures.

This study investigates how SMEs' (small and medium-sized enterprises) financing strategies affect firm valuation. Given that information asymmetry is engaged in firm valuation in the stock market, investors interpret the meanings of debt financing depending on how SMEs construct the portfolio of financing strategies (retained earnings vs debt financing), thereby making investment decision. Specifically, given that SMEs' debt financing has two meanings in the market signals, called "benefit" and "cost", this study postulates that firm valuation will be differently made by investors, depending on how they interpret the meanings of debt financing under choice competition between retained earnings and debt financing. In this study, we argue that under choice competition, as a SME's debt proportion increases, the "cost" signal outweighes the "benefit" signal, thereby decreasing firm valuation. Moreover, the effect of such signal can be contingent on the SME's characteristics-firm visibility. These ideas are examined using 363 U.S. SMEs ranging from 1971 to 2010. The fixed-effects models estimating Tobin's q show that under choice competition, a SME's debt proportion has a negative impact on firm valuation and that the firm's high visibility mitigates the effect of "cost" signal. In conclusion, this study sheds new light on how investors' interpretations of SMEs' financing strategies affect firm valuation.

In recently, the globalization of business and the competitive pressure have led to the growing strategic importance of the logistics function within the organization. All organizations are approaching 3PL(Third party logistics : 3PL) services to manage their logistics activities to gain competitive advantages. This has placed a number of demands on the logistics system and has become a rapidly developing area of investigation. Thus the research objective is to examine the effects of 3PL service qualities, trust and commitment on logistics performance. The results shows that visibility and expertise of the 3PL service quality elements positively affected shipper's trust. And availability, visibility and communication of the 3PL service quality elements positively affected shipper's commitment. In addition, the trust and commitment of shipper's company on the 3PL corporation positively affected logistics performance.

정보화의 발전에 비례하여 정보보호의 중요성도 높아지고 있다. 최근까지 정보보호에 대한 관심과 주요 연구의 흐름은 기술적인 보호조치(예: 암호화, 접근제어, 방화벽 등)와 관리적 관점의 행동연구였다. 최근에 들어서야 국내외적으로 정보보호 투자효과에 대한 연구가 활성화되기 시작했다. 정보보호 투자효과에 대한 계량적 산정이 필요한 이유는 정보보호의 중요성을 정확하게 인식할 수 있어 적정규모의 예산을 책정하고 효율적으로 예산을 투입할 수 있는 기초를 마련할 수 있기 때문이다. 정보보호 투자효과를 측정하기 위한 선행연구로 보안사고의 피해규모를 산정하는 연구가 필수적이다. 보안사고의 피해규모는 가시적 손실(피해복구, 생산성 저하, 손해배상 등)과, 비가시적 손실(고객 충성도 저하, 회사의 브랜드 이미지 하락 등) 규모의 합으로 구성된다. 그 동안 가시적 손실규모 측정에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 많았으나, 비가시적 손실규모 측정에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡하였던 것이 사실이다. 이는 현실적으로 비가시적 손실규모를 측정할 수 있는 접근방법을 고안해내는 것이 어려웠기 때문이다. 이로 인해 막연히 비가시적 손실규모가 가시적 손실규모에 비해 대단히 클 것이라고 짐작해 올 수 밖에 없었다. 본 논문에서는 보안사고의 비가시적 손실규모를 측정하기 위해 대규모 개인정보 보안 사고가 발생한 기업의 매출액 증가율을 경쟁기업과 분석하는 연구방법을 제안한다. 매출액은 영업이익 및 순이익과는 달리 회사 내부적인 회계방침에 의해 규모의 조절이 불가능한 재무요소이면서 회사가 고객 충성도 저하와 회사의 브랜드 이미지 하락으로 인해 받게 되는 영향을 가장 정확하게 반영하는 재무요소이기도 하다. 연구방법에 따라 2008년 대규모 개인정보 보안사고가 발생한 국내기업을 선정하고 그 경쟁사와 매출액 변화추이를 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 보안사고가 발생한 기업의 평균 매출액 증가율이 경쟁사 평균 매출액 증가율 보다 0.0225% 높다는 사실을 발견했다. 이 결과는 국내의 보안 사고가 기업 가치에 미치는 비가시적 영향이 거의 없거나 또는 발생하더라도 그 영향력이 미미하여 가격정책 및 광고 홍보를 통해 충분히 극복할 수 있다는 점을 대변한다. 본 논문의 결과는 역설적으로 국내 보안사고의 피해규모를 측정하는데 있어 가시적 손실규모의 정확한 측정이 무엇보다 중요함을 의미한다.

Although the theater performance industry is a typical cultural content industry, the support at the national level has been poor and the theater workers tend to focus on individual efforts rather than active interaction with the theater environment. Therefore, there is a growing need for effective revitalization of the theater industry, which should be found in improving the quality of interaction between the theater and the theater environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of theater actors (theaters, theater organizations) on the activation of plays by the interaction of politics, business, and technology, the main environment of the plays. For this, social network analysis was performed. As a result of the study, it was found that mediation centrality significantly influenced the visibility of theater actors. This means that the more the theater actors are at the center of information and resource flows to the elements of the theater environment, the more visibility becomes. This shows that the theater must actively acquire technology, create an avant-garde, and endeavor to expand its influence and outreach through active interaction with politics and corporations.

In this paper, we propose a device identification system for network visibility that can maintain the secure internal network environment in the IoT era. Recently, the area of enterprise network is getting huge and more complicated. Not only desktops and smartphones but also business pads, barcode scanners, APs, Video Surveillance, digital doors, security devices, and lots of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly pouring into the business network, and there are highly risk of security threats. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the device identification system that includes the process and module-specific functions to identify the exploding device in the IoT era. The proposed system provides in-depth visibility of the devices and their own vulnerabilities to the IT manager in company. These information help to mitigate the risk of the potential cyber security threats in the internal network and offer the unified security management against the business risks.
