In the system integration (SI) industry, improving relationships with outsourcing partners is one of the key challenges faced by SI companies that aim to increase productivity and reduce costs. In the SI industry, over 80% of project development work is performed by these outsourcing partners. Hence, large SI companies focus on fostering high-performing partners through improved cooperation and mutual relations. However, in the SI industry the existing process of managing outsourcing partners is unable to advance to the level of long-term partnerships due to inadequate information sharing and communication in the process of selecting and assessing a potential and existing partner. Based on the theory of partnership, this study identifies the success factors for new strategic partnerships. Further, this study presents a model for assessing partner companies to promote increased productivity and improve the relationship between an SI company and its partner. In addition, this model is used to assess partner relationships for a well-known SI company "A". This study explores the feasibility of a new framework model.

This study mechanically measured physical properties of jelly made by adding kappa carrageenan and agar-agar to the sipjeondaebo extract, varying the addition ratio. The sipjeondaebo extract used in the study showed 4.95 pH, 7.0 Brix$^{\circ}$, and high turbidity of more than 3.0 NTU. The sugar content was fixed at 25.2 Brix$^{\circ}$ when isomaltooligosaccharide was added in a 25-percent concentration. When the jelly was mechanically measured after it became hard in the refrigerator, the measurement results did not show any significant difference in cohesiveness between different addition ratios of agar-agar to kappa carrageenan. In the measurement of chewiness and gumminess, the jelly show a significantly decreasing tendency in both the two properties as the increase in the addition rate of agar-agar was made. Hardness was also measured lower as the more addition of agar-agar was made, and its the highest level was shown when there was the addition of kappa carrageenan only. Springiness was the highest when the ratio of kappa carrageenan to agar-agar was 0.7%:0.3%, while it was measured the lowest when agar-agar was added in a 1.0% concentration. In the measurement of the jelly's physical properties, the results showed the highest level of appearance when the ratio of kappa carrageenan to agar-agar was 0.7% but indicated that there was no significant difference in flavor. The overall Quality was evaluated to maintain the highest level at the kappa carrageenan to agar-agar ratio of 0.7%:0.3%, followed by a 0.5%:0.5% addition ratio.

In Korea, the Emergency Medical Service, EMS is provided by Fire Services with 119 EMS and all the public uses the service for free. Although it appears very successful and is respected nationally, structural problem EMS exist and are worsening. First of all, the "free riding effect" becomes increasingly problematic. Some argue that 30% of the demands is not urgent or emergent. The total number of demands is increasing even without the free riding effect. The Current EMS system itself cannot meet the increasing EMS demand. The medical aspect is so poor that the EMS cannot dispatch a medical specialist to the scene. The cardiac arrest resuscitation rate is only $1.24{\sim}9.9%$, compared to 40% in Boston, MA, USA. But due to the regulations and limitations of the Fire Service organization, it is difficult to secure enough EMS resources. To work out these problems, it needs a structural innovation. To secure enough resources and achieve higher medical performance we should invite the medical sector and the private sector into EMS arena by contracting partnerships with Fire Services and charging a reasonable EMS fee. We found through statistical test that any partnership system is more effective than fire-alone system and most countries around the world have partnership system rather than fire-alone system.

Forests act as carbon sinks and also improve water resources and biodiversity to climate change. Secure funding, administrative support, and sustainable management systems are essential to conserve forests and to implement international forestry related projects to climate change. Public private partnership (PPP) could be an effective way for forestry sector in developing countries. Awareness analysis should be preceded in order to encourage participation of enterprises for the diversification of funding and the enhancing quality of projects. We conducted a survey targeting more than 129 private enterprises for awareness analysis. As a result, lack of information, complexity of processes and low profit resulted in low interest on forest projects from private enterprises. Improving awareness of recipient countries on forest resources, financial and institutional supports from the public sector, information sharing, performance management and equal partnership between sectors were suggested to encourage PPP in international forestry related projects to climate change.
