The growth of electronic commerce make business to business electronic commerce market grow dramatically due to dramatic decrease of transaction cost and increase of productivity. It also influences the way of building transaction relationship between buyers and suppliers. This study tends to prove electronic market theory for Internet based 13213 commerce. We observe and analyze the implementation and usage patterns of procurement system of I company. The result shows that even through Internet enable many buyers and suppliers to participate and transact each other, the transaction pattern is different according to asset specificity and uncertainty as follows. First, with adoption of internet, the product with the higher asset specificity rather than lower asset specificity can be easily purchased. Second, Internet doesn't make any significant influence on the transaction of the product with higher uncertainty. But, organization's pre-audit process can indirectly influence on the decrease of the transaction uncertainty.

This study carries out an empirical analysis of how workplace innovation affects employment growth. The theoretical model and hypotheses of this study are drawn from the previous research on the employment effects of innovation. I use the data on Workplace Innovation Indicators(2013-14) collected by Labor Foundation. As the regression models for this study, I adopt OLS models whose dependent variable is employment growth rate, and whose main independent variables are the adoption and the intensity(standardized values) of three innovative work practices such as TQM, employee suggestion plans and multi-skill training programs. The results of this study indicate that the adoption of workplace innovation does not have significant effects on employment growth, but that the intensity of workplace innovation has weakly positive effects on employment growth. Besides, the results of this demonstrate show that government-subsided organizational innovation consulting and training hours per capita have positive employment effects, but that wage level and prior employment size have negative ones. Finally the empirical results are outlined, and their limitations and the future direction of research on this topic are discussed.

With advances in IT Smart-Work is emerging as a new way of conducting business and several companies are considering to introduce the Smart-Work digital convergence technology. In this paper, we examined the effects of the Smart-Work IT resources on the work efficiency and the corporate performances in service industry by applying the Resource-Based View. The results of the structural equation modelling analysis showed that Smart-Work IT infrastructure and individual IT skills had positive influence on individual work efficiency while business application software and IT skills affected team work efficiency. Also, we confirmed that individual and team work efficiency positively affect financial and market performance of business firms. With the findings of the study, we expect that the introduction of Smart-Work would have positive effect, at least in service industry, on work efficiency and corporate performance, which will in turn lead to gaining competitive advantage for those firms adopting Smart-Work.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification: 라디오 주파수 인식)란 라디오 주파수를 활용해서 무선으로 사물을 인식하는 것을 의미한다. RFID 기술을 구성하는 기본 요소는 태그, 안테나, 리더 등이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 RFID 기술의 기본 요소와 더불어 인식된 사물의 정보를 광범위하게 구축되어 있는 유${\cdot}$무선 네트워크와 연결하여 활용할 수 있는 모든 기술을 RFID 기술로 정의하였다. 비록 최근에 RFID 기술이 여러 분야에서 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있지만, 실제 RFID 기술은 오래전인 2차 세계대전에 영국군의 자국 전투기 식별을 위해 이미 활용되고 있었다. 그러나 그 당시에는 RFID 기술의 구성요소인 태그나 리더의 값이 고가였기 때문에 특정분야에 한해 RFID 기술을 적용할 수 있었다. 그 이후에 1990년대에 이르러 RFID 기술은 가축관리, 컨테이너관리, IC 카드 등 점차 다른 분야로 적용이 확대되기 시작했다. 특히 반도체 기술의 발전이 급속도로 이루어진 1990년대 말을 기점으로 RFID 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져, 현재에는 SCM(Supply Chain Management), 국방, 의료, 교통, 환경, 동물관리, 홈 네트워크 등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능한 기술로 평가되고 있다. 특히, SCM에 있어서 RFID 기술 도입은 큰 파급효과가 예상되고 있다. SCM을 구성하는 기업들은 RFID 기술 도입을 통해 제품의 가시성(visibility)과 추적성(traceability)을 확보할 수 있게 된다. 기업들은 자신의 제품이 현재 어디에 있으며 어떠한 경로를 통해 그 자리에 이르렀는지를 실시간(real time)으로 확인 가능하게 된다. 미국의 월마트사(社) 와 영국의 메트로사(社) 같은 선진 유통 기업들은 실증연구를 통해 RFID 기술 도입이 비용 절감과 함께 고객 서비스 향상을 도모할 것이라는 결론을 내린 바 있다. 또한 현제 초기단계이기는 하지만 실제 RFID 기술을 도입하여 운영 중에 있다. 국내에서도 정부주도 하에 RFID 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 지난 2004년에 유통 물류 분야의 1차 시범사업을 완료하였다. 그러나, 이러한 국내${\cdot}$외의 적극적인 도입 움직임에도 불구하고 국내에서는 아직 RFID기술 도입이 SCM(Supply Chain Management)에 있어서 구체적으로 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 대한 연구가 거의 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 RFID 기술 도입 의사결정자에게 제공될 수 있는 정량적인 ROI 분석 모형에 관한 연구는 시급한 과제로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SCM 차원에서 RFID 기술 도입에 따른 ROI 분석 모형을 제시하고 적용해 보고자 한다.

It is aimed at providing a guide for effective ERP implementation strategy in view of the need for differentiation and cost advantage strategy from competitors in introducing ERP centered on SMEs. The results show that differentiation and cost superiority and service quality are dependent on the introduction performance and mediating effect. First, the differentiation or cost advantage strategy supports the previous research results in financial performance. However, in the differentiation strategies, only the non-financial aspects were noted. Second, the differentiation and cost advantage strategy were analyzed to have financial performance only in the assurance of service quality factor and the remaining service quality was not significant in the introduction performance. Third, the mediating effect of consulting service quality was analyzed in terms of differentiation or cost advantage Did not do it. In conclusion, system construction is different from financial perspective in terms of construction strategy. In service quality factor, it affects the confidence that supplier provides, knowledge and confidence, and ability to give faith.

To date, the literature has focused on formal R&D activities, such as internal, joint or external R&D, but informal R&D activities, such as job training or design, can also have a positive impact on technological innovation. To address this research gap, this paper examined 1) the influence of informal R&D activities on innovation adoption, and 2) the differences between formal R&D-oriented and informal R&D-oriented firms in process and product innovation. For this, statistical analysis was conducted using the data set from 2012 Korea Innovation Survey. The results suggest that 1) informal R&D activities can influence process innovation, and 2) firms engaging in both informal and formal R&D actively adopt product innovation. Findings suggest that 1) firms should recognize the importance of informal R&D and 2) national R&D policy should reflect the positive role of informal R&D in technological innovation.

Though many studies regarding roundabout have been recently conducted, most of them have focused on operational aspect. Moreover, majority of the previous researches analyzes operational effects of single roundabout, but seldom investigate the effects of multi-roundabouts constructed on road networks. In this study, we seek ways to construct multiple roundabouts on road network maximizing their operational effects. The analysis investigate influence of both adjacent signalized and unsignalized intersections as well as influence of the distance from those intersections to roundabouts. The results show that the optimal distance between two adjacent intersections were calculated to be 150m, and any two intersections located within 150m apart influence each other thus imposing operational restrictions on each other. In addition, those results are confirmed using simulation analysis conducted on the real urban network in Nonheon regional area, Incheon City.

This study is to investigate the impact of information technology implementation on supply chain risk and performance. It focuses on how information technology adoption affects supply risk as well as performance. It collected one hundred fifty nine responses from supply executives and supply and purchasing managers of U.S manufacturing firms by applying a survey methodology. The research results provide empirical evidence that the use of information technology in the supply chain mitigates supply risk and improves performance. More importantly, information technology adoption involves three aspects: inbound and outbound communications, internal communications and administration and finally, mitigation of supply risks and improved performance via order taking and procurement. This research emphasizes the importance of IT implementation in supply risk management. It also points out how information technology adoption facilitates the impact of information technology in risk mitigation in the supply chain and in performance. Thus, supply and purchasing managers need to consider IT implementation and adoption when establishing their risk mitigating strategies within the supply chains.

In recent bridge design, studies on application of external prestress have actively been conducted. When prestress is applied to steel structures, the limit value of elastic strain with large load increases with reduction of steels, this method is economic in cost. According to study by Brodka (1969), steel plate bridges with prestress has an effect on cost saving of about 15% compared with structures without prestress. For that reason, our country recently adopted this method in construction of temporary bridges and various engineering technologies have been developed which made stress correction, droop correction and long-span construction possible with relatively small cross sections. This study verifies the method of application of prestress in temporary steel structures, the influence of high-strength tendon arrangement and the effects of composite structures of steel plates and high-strength tendons based on existing method.

This Study analyzes the predictability of accounting information from mandatory K-IFRS adoption using the K-IFRS reconciliations information. We use the sample of 2,557 firm-year Korea listed companies belonging to non-financial corporate sector during 2010-2016. Specifically, we examine whether K-IFS reconciliation would improve or reduce the predicting power for future earnings after K-IFRS adoption. The results of empirical analyses show that reconciliation information from discretionary judgement tend to reduce the predicting power of K-IFRS based accounting earnings for future earnings. This result indicates that managers are likely to use the adjustments process to reconcile K-GAAP accounting numbers with corresponding K-IFRS as means to realize the various private utility. This study is expected to provide useful information by suggesting the need for more rigid screening schemes for the K-IFRS reconciliation process and also for adequate measures to be taken to ensure that the interests of the outside investors are properly protected.
