This study is an attempt to identify factors affecting korean immigrants concentration in small business enterprises in the middleman minority sector including the priphery and core sectors, with the private wage and self-employed worker examined in each sector, employing the 5 percent public use sample from the 1980 United States census. One out of five koreans aged 25∼64 years is engaged in self-employed small businesses, while the majority of koreans (4 out of 5) are in the private wage sector. In contrast to expectations, English language difficulties and inferior education are not the prime factors affecting self-employment small businesses.

This study has researched that tempo is an element influencing the fun of narrative webtoon. In spite of many elements that could create fun in narrative webtoon, the theory this study pays attention to is the accumulation and solution of tension. Lee Hyun-bee said in his book that the accumulation and solution of tension would be the element creating fun. Tensions of a story create the immersion by bringing readers into the story. However, if such tensions are maintained throughout the whole story, readers get insensitive to tensions, so that the accumulation and solution of tension should be used in turn to maintain the immersion. One of the directions creating the accumulation and solution of tension in narrative webtoon is the direction of tempo. When creating a narrative webtoon with the full-length structure, it is not easy to describe the whole incident from beginning to the end of it in order of time. Therefore, it is inevitable to have differences between story time and narrative time, and the difference of this time is called 'tempo'. This tempo creates fun when readers are immersed in the work, by adjusting breaths of the story in the direction of narrative webtoon. Such a role of tempo direction is based on the relation between the occurrence of tempo direction and information of the story. The information actually leading the story creates the accumulation and relief of tension which is the essential element of fun formation while tempo also maximizes the effects of accumulation and relief of tension. Tempo direction in narrative webtoons uses panels and gaps between them. The scene direction using panels and gaps between them considers tempo and dynamics because of the temporality of panels and gaps between them. This paper analyzes the use of tempo direction for narrative webtoon through the analysis on the 1st episode of . The significance of this study is to reveal that tempo direction is one of the factors creating fun in narrative webtoons, and also to suggest the theoretical grounds for researches on direction creating fun in the future.

The result is as follows. First, interesting factor of golf is found to have significant influence on Flow of leisure. Second, interesting factor of golf is found to have significant influence on intention of continuous behavior. Third, Flow of leisure is found to have significant influence on intention of continuous behavior. Finally, Flow of leisure is found to have partial mediation effect in the relation among interesting factor of golf and intention of continuous behavior. Thus, it is judged that enjoyment should be ensured precedently through the interesting factors of golf to develop golf industry and to induce middle-aged women golf participants to golf course.

This investigates the major factors that impact digital contents piracy in a college environment, mainly because the violation of the copyright is known to occur most often in college environments. Using a theoretical model based on Theory of Reasoned Action, this study examines the causal relationships among the variables of the digital contents piracy behavior. Major research variables include intention to commit piracy, attitude, social influence, fear of legal consequences, enjoyment, perceived easiness, knowledge level, and facilitating conditions. Survey responses from 335 undergraduate and graduate students indicate that the attitude and social influence affect the intention to commit piracy, and that social influence, enjoyment and perceived easiness influence the attitude. But, contrary to our expectation, knowledge level has been found to have no impact on the attitude. Perceived easiness, fear of legal consequences and facilitating conditions have all been shown to affect social influence. As a conclusion, the academic and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Entertainment Industry is a high value-added business and its market includes the whole world. With high-tech industry, it is said that entertainment industry strengthen country's competitiveness, and the Korean government is trying to find a way to develop the animation industry. Some domestic feature animations were made, but they failed to get sufficient audiences. Meanwhile, Shrek 2, made by PDI, has earned about 92,000,000,000$ through just theatrical revenue. The reason is that domestic animations are not exciting. Contents should have amusement in it. The humor is the most important thing to make fun. So this thesis suggest to analyse Humor Types in animations. It is based on several theories about Humor. The types of humor defined by the previous studies are summarized into (1) humor, (2) wit, (3) satire and (4) irony. I categorize the productive methods of visual humor into (1) visual pun, (2) visual parody and (3) visual paradox adopting Henri Bergson's theory of the production methods of humor. And I comment on humorous scenes of Shrek in points of design basic elements, such as (1) visual elements, (2) relational elements and (3) practical elements. And I classify humor responses into the incongruity theory, the superiority theory, and relief theory. Therefore this study suggest a reasoned method to categorize the humor types effectively for producing or analyzing various types of humor effects in animation fields.

This Study has limited our scope to the study of satisfaction factor. Due to the extensiveness of fun factors of games. We had identified satisfaction factors through investigating various theories based on funology. Then, we have directly applied the satisfaction factors to games in order to define the satisfaction factors of online FPS game. Then, we have applied the satisfaction factors on to four online games, at the first phase of the study. We interviewed a group of online FPS game experts to identify the constituent elements of the factors and concluded the second phase of our investigation based on the results from the first and second phases, we have conducted a survey to verify the hypothesis. We have verified the reciprocal relationship between the satisfaction factors and game popularity by conducting a multiple regression analysis on the survey results. To conclude, there is a correlation between online FPS games and the satisfaction factors; the satisfaction factors cause the users to be absorbed into the game and to enjoy it for a long period of time.

게임의 룰은 게임의 메커니즘을 구현하는데 필요한 모든 것을 포함하는 것이다. 또한, 게임의 스토리를 이끌며 지탱하는 중요한 요소이기도 하다. 본고에서는 동서양 모두에서 성공하고 있는 대표적 MMORPG 온라인 게임인 월드오브워크래프트를 중심으로 게임 스토리텔링에서의 룰이 지닌 중요한 요소와 특징, 또한, 이것이 지닌 창조적이며 재미와 몰입, 덧붙여 게임 스토리 전개상에서 만들어내는 생산적인 요소들을 찾아서 특성을 찾고자 한다. 이는 게임 개방시 게임 내의 룰 생성과 스토리 전개에 중요한 요건으로서 연구되어질 수 있으며, 온라인 게임 스토리텔링 창작 및 개발에 적용하는데 연구의 의의가 있다 하겠다. 본고의 논의가 이뤄지기 전, 먼저 게임에 대한 룰의 정의에 대해 지금까지의 논의들을 살펴보고, 이들 속에서 발견되고 논의될 요소들을 얻고자 한다. 이론적 요소를 바탕으로 본고의 연구대상인 월드오브워크래프트의 서사에 나타난 룰과 스토리텔링과의 상호작용을 분석할 것이다. 본고에서 논의 되는 MMORPG게임의 룰과 스토리텔링의 연구는 아직 체계적이지 못하고, 이론적으로 미흡한 게임 스토리텔링 및 룰 연구에 기반 연구가 되고자 한다.
