Despite the changes to demands and perceptions according to building deterioration, most of the previous studies on remodeling have focused on apartment buildings, which are residential buildings. Few studies have been conducted on buildings for general commercial use, or office buildings. Accordingly, this study set out to prepare a set of performance criteria to assess the remodeling feasibility of office buildings. For that purpose, 23 assessment items were devised, their importance was tested, 13 were extracted, and a set of scoring criteria for each item was prepared. Case analysis was conducted to check the reliability of the assessment items and scoring criteria. Through this analysis, it was found that the criteria were reliable.

The foodservice franchise is preferred by the founders who inaugurate a business enterprise, because it is not difficult to convert into money more than other private enterprise. The success or failure of the foodservice franchise depends 80 percent on its location. Therefore, this research aimed to study the location factors of the first shops of foodservice franchise in Seoul through the analyses of nearest neighborhood effect and statistical relationship between variables. According to there results, the location characteristics of the first shops of foodservice franchise are summarized as in the following three items. First, the spatial distribution pattern of the first shops is a clustered type. Second, the first shops relate to the 15 variables which are the number of financial facilities, the number of business service offices, and the number of hotels and restaurants, etc. Third, the main location factor of the first shops is the number of financial facilities. In conclusion, it is estimated that Gangnam-gu and Jung-gu might be good for the location of the first shops of foodservice franchise in Seoul, because these two places have many financial buildings.

Moreover a new logistics concept is needed through the sharing information between suppliers and consumers, which maximizes the level of customers service and its flexibility by changing functional-oriented to process-oriented. In other words, Supply Chain Management(SCM) is now considered as a key aspect of business, which controls the flows of information, funds, and goods in the supply chain. Rationalization of transport-delivery system will be one of the most important issues on logistics management to the domestic companies. The companies need the effective delivery system. Especially in the case of delivery system from distribution centers to customers or vendors, it might take a long time to control the delivery system manually because it would be hard to apply the automatic vehicle routing algorithm effectively considering all the practical constraints. Thus this study develops a heuristic algorithm of automatic vehicle delivery support system in terms of grouping by short ranges of vehicle movement utilizing postal coordinates, which satisfies a variety of realistic constraints and reduces controlling time of manual operations.

본 연구는 LISREL모형을 이용하여 우리나라 266개 상장기업을 대상으로 기업다각화와 기업가치간의 영향관계를 분석하고, 다각화 및 기업가치 결정요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 90년대 초반까지는 다각화가 초과가치를 발생시켰지만, 90년대 중반 이후에는 다각화에 의한 사업운영방식이 부의 초과가치를 발생시켜 기업가치에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 다각화는 기업의 시장가치에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나, 시장에서는 다각화된 기업을 전문화된 기업보다 더 높게 평가하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 기업의 다각화수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 외부대주주지분을, 레버리지비율, 기업설립연수, 기업규모, 계열기업 여부 등으로 파악되었다. 90년대 초반까지는 외부대주주지분율이 높고, 기업설립연수가 오래되고, 계열기업에 속해 있고, 규모가 작은 기업의 경우 다각화수준이 낮게 나타났지만, 90년대 중반 이후에는 이와 같은 특성을 가진 기업의 다각화수준이 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 레버리지비율은 기업의 다각화수준과 일관되게 정의 영향관계를 보여, 차입자금을 이용하여 다각화를 추진하는 우리나라 기업의 현실적 상황을 확인할 수 있었다. 넷째, 다각화의 초과가치에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 외부대주주지분을, 레버리지비율, 기업규모, 계열기업 여부 등으로 파악되었다. 90년대 초반에는 외부대주주지분율이 높고, 기업규모가 작고, 계열기업에 속한 기업들이 다각화를 통해 정의 초과가치를 획득할 수 있었지만, 90년대 중반 이후에는 외부대주주지분율이 낮고, 기업규모가 크고, 계열기업에 속하지 않은 기업이 다각화에 의해 초과가치를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 레버리지는 그 비율이 높을수록 다각화의 초과가치가 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되어, 다각화 기업이 더 많은 부채부담능력을 가질 수 있고, 부채의 세금절감효과에 의해 기업가치를 증가시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The article 49-2 of Industrial Safety Law requires that all the owners of industrial plants which contains dangerous facilities perform the process safety management. That is, this law requires the owners of industrial plants to take necessary measures to prevent fire, harmful gas leaking, explosion, and other serious accidents that could cause demage and injuries to the employees. So far, domestic chemical plants have tried to invest money and time in safety management. But, such efforts have been made only in chemical plants that were subsidiaries of large business groups. Moreover, since the economic crisis of Korea which is symbolized by the IMF bailout, small and medium size companies could not afford to invest in safety management. Their major concern is to increase productivity and thereby, survive in this crisis. The goal of this research is to develop the process safety management system that can help small and medium size companies to positively secure the process safety management. So, in developing the process safety management system, the financial and practical difficulties of such companies are fully taken into consideration.

In recent years, the global financial crisis has worsened the economic environment for small and medium-sized businesses. A great number of South Korean enterprises are having various managerial difficulties, such as insufficient funds, shortage of manpower and lack of market information. To overcome these difficulties, many experts have suggested plans to encourage cooperation among small businesses, and such cooperation has provided diverse services to complement the insufficient capabilities of the individual companies. In spite of the efforts made by government to incite cooperation, however, the businesses themselves have displayed a lack of willingness to such cooperation. Cooperation requires a series of complicated and interdependent processes and, thus, governmental support alone cannot guarantee the necessary willingness to cooperate among small businesses. This research empirically analyzed how cooperative and creative leaderships influence the willingness to cooperate among corporate members. We also empirically studied how relationships among corporate members vary in accordance with their absorptive capacity.

This study aims to predict the likely effect of economic sanctions on North Korea by examining case studies of Iran and Iraq. While UN sanctions against Iraq had immediate negative consequences for society, such as causing famine and reinforcing the authoritarian regime, sanctions against Iran had some productive consequences after they were reinforced by the U.S. and EU in significantly reduced oil exports and government expenditure, which in turn led to regime change and willingness to negotiate nuclear programs for economic recovery. Apart from these distinct differences, sanctions in both countries caused high inflation, shortage of necessary supplies, and increased unemployment. Case studies of Iran and Iraq also reveal that the sanctions disproportionately affected women and children, which implies that the recently reinforced economic sanctions of the U.S. and China against North Korea will cause more suffering of similarly socially marginalized groups in North Korea.

The starting point of the research is the relation between capital restructuring and urban restructuring. The economic restructuring, which has been caused by the economic crisis in the early 1970s in the United States has brought a spatial restructuring at different geographic scales. The degree of the success of urban restructuring is contingent to the local economic and political environments. The local contingent factor such as local politics should not be neglected for investigating the restructuring process. Through the case study of Chicago, the research provides two inconsistencies in applying the structural approach to the local level: first, the lack of the theoretical link between crisis and restructuring; and second, the crucial importance of local politics in shaping urban development.
