The aim of the current study is to look at the mediating effects of structural features (i.e. decentralization, formalization, and specialization) on the relationship between product variety and the performance of product family. This study investigates the impact of decentralization and formalization for platform and derivative projects separately and in the context of the performance of the product family as a whole, as opposed to individual projects. In addition to relationships between people and groups, the current study considers physical element of an organization such as geographical location in which business tasks are conducted. The current study focuses on spatial differentiation which refers to the number of different sites or locations operated by an organization. Based on a cross-industry sample of 103 Korean manufacturers, this study examines the role of organizational structure features in which firms successfully increase product variety. The study examines that formalization in platform projects and decentralization in derivative projects enhance high variety firms' product family performance. The study finds significant mediating effect of spatial proximity on the relationship between product variety and product family performance.

영국지방정부 노사관계는 중앙집권적인 구도 속에도 개별 지방정부 차원에서의 자율이 허용되는 일종의 조정된 분권화의 모습을 보였다. 하지만 1980년대부터의 시장메커니즘의 도입 이후 일부 지방정부는 중앙의 현실인식부족을 강조하면서 중앙차원의 교섭구도에서 탈피하게 된다. 1997년의 교섭구도의 통합화 이후 보다 조정된 형태로의 변화를 기대했으나, 지부차원에서의 교섭자율화는 그대로 유지되었다. 하지만 중앙교섭의 영향력은 여전히 건재하며 이러한 측면에서 우리는 일종의 중앙과 지방의 상호결합이 나타나고 있다고 정의할 수 있다. 그동안 축적된 조직력과 경험이 이를 가능하게 했다고 보여진다. 또 다른 변화는 노사 파트너십의 도입인데 노동조합도 자신들의 입지 약화를 인정하면서 이러한 변화에 대해 긍정적인 입장이고, 더 이상 과거와 같은 대립적인 관계는 자신들에게 유리할 것이 없다는 인식이 확산되는 상황에서 점차적으로 파트너십의 관행이 영국 내 자리 잡을 것으로 기대된다. 여전히 중앙의 영향력이 있기는 하지만 분권화와 같은 변화는 현장 차원에서의 파트너십을 용이하게 할 수 있는 제도이기 때문이다. 결국 지방정부의 노사관계는 기존의 고도의 현대화의 하나인 제도적인 형태에서 철저한 성과압력 및 하위단계로의 권한 위임 등을 동반한 고도의 온정적인 모습 그리고 고도의 현대화의 또 다른 형태이자 보다 유연한 모습인 협의에 근거한 일종의 파트너십 등이 동시에 사용되어지는 다양하고 복잡한 모습으로 변해가고 있다고 정의할 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 정보기술 구조와 기업의 경쟁전략사이의 관련성을 조사함으로써, 기업의 경쟁전략의 형태에 따라서 정보시스템이 어떠한 형태를 취하느냐를 조사하는데 있었다. 다시말해서 공격형의 전략을 채택한 기업은 정보시스템의 구조가 분산화된 형태, 방어형의 전략을 채택한 기업은 집중화된 형태, 분석형의 전략을 채택한 기업은 중간형태를 취할 것이라는 가설을 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 나타난바에 의하면 정보시스템 구조는 경쟁전략과 상당한 관계가 있고 특히 정보기술활동의 집중화 정도는 경쟁전략과 깊은 관련성이 있다. 서로 다른 경쟁전략을 택하는 기업은 서로 다른 정보시스템을 채택하는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있다. 보수적인 경쟁전략을 가진 조직의 정보시스템구조는 적극적인 경쟁전략을 가진 조직의 정보시스템구조 보다는 더욱 집중화되어 있다. 다시말해서, 보수적인 조직의 사용자 부문은 적극적인 조직의 사용자 부문보다는 그들의 정보기술활동에 대한 책임성이 덜하다. 이러한 사항을 기초로하여 본 논문에서는 보수적인 경쟁전략은 정보시스템에 대한 책임성의 집중화에 영향을 미친다고 예측할 수 있고 반면에 적극적인 경쟁전략은 정보시스템에 대한 책임성의 분권화에 영향을 미친다고 예측할 수 있다. 일반적으로 본 연구의 결과는 조직변화개념에 대한 부가적인 도움을 주지만 그러나 경쟁전략뿐만 아니라 조직의 다른 상황변수도 정보시스템구조에 영향을 미친다는 것을 지적해 두고자 한다.

This research examines the decentralization of al-Qaida and other Salafi-jihadist terrorist groups, which is a subject of intense debate in the West. Especially, this study focused on investigating the status and evolution of al Qa'ida and other two Salafi-jihadist groups, Boko Haram and the Islamic States. These terrorist groups are currently considered as the most active Salafi-jihadist terrorist groups leading today's decentralization from Al-Qaida central terrorism network. This study also aims to examine the contemporary threats posed by the two extremely violent jihadist terrorist groups and these groups's terrorist networks. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, this study conducted content analyses with a wide range of documents reporting about Salafi-jihadist terrorists groups. Also this study utilized GTD data set drwan from START centner to provide descriptive analyses regarding IS and Boko Haram's activities and threats. On the basis of analyses, this study argues that recently the threats posed by core al Qaida has been severely weakened. Further, the broader Salafi-jihadist movement has become more decentralized among four tiers: first, core al Qaida in Pakistan; second, formal al Qa'ida affiliated groups that have sworn allegiance to core al Qaida; a number of Salafi-jihadist groups that have committed to establishing an extremist Islamic emirate without sworn allegiance to al Qaida; third, individual followers and networks inspired by al Qaida and other Salafi-jihadist groups. In concusion and discussion, this study highlights the need for a long-term engagement counter terrorism strategy against Salifi-jihadist terrorists groups on behalf of the peace and security of the world society.

It was amazing that efficiency of bureaucratic system, when Marx Weber presented theory of bureaucracy. Now, Government and Bureaucratic organization are confronted with a forked road of change. The purpose of this paper is not so much to force choices among the alternative visions of governance but rather to make the choices available to governments more evident. Any choice of paradigms for government and administration is unlikely to be Pareto optimal, but we should be clear about what we receive and what we sacrifice when we make these judgements about governance. Today, government and public bureaucracy must be changed. There are needed an innovation of government and public bureaucracy. It must be changed concepts from government to governance. Governance is a national management.

The purpose of this study is to establish the Police Reform Committee on May 10, 2017, with the aim of enforcing the nationwide autonomous police system in 2020. In addition, the government is promoting reforms of autonomous police and investigative structures, On April 5, 2018, a special committee of autonomous police system consisting of academics, civic groups, and legal professors was established. In 1991, the local council was established in Korea. In 1995, the local autonomous government era was launched with the election of local autonomous governors, but the field of security did not bring decentralization. This study suggests direction of organization and manpower management, personnel management and distribution, financial management, and political neutrality in order to introduce autonomous police system considering regional characteristics. Also, it should be promoted in the direction of maximizing the advantages of the decentralization system and national police without causing civil unrest and social disorder caused by the introduction of the rapid system. Self-governing police should reflect on the trend of autonomous decentralization in order to secure the Republic of Korea with a more secure policing policy, along with organic cooperation and mutual competition system with the national police.

This study examines the impact of knowledge management strategies and knowledge management determinants for each type of knowledge management of a company on knowledge activities, and because each company's situation and conditions are different, it is necessary to approach each knowledge management type. The analysis was conducted using the SPSS 18.0 program targeting 81 companies that have introduced knowledge management systems or knowledge management by categorizing them into technology-oriented and combined types. The result is that Initial types are based on changes in organizational structure and active adoption of information technology, and the Organizational knowledge centers use management systems (CEO support, performance compensation system, education and training system) and infrastructure building and information technology to maximize individual knowledge. The Information technology-oriented types rely more on information technology such as infrastructure building and information technology use rather than organizational knowledge. and the Combination type is understood as an educational and training system and decentralized organizational structure for the overall expansion of the organization. Through this study, effective and significant strategies, knowledge management determinants, and knowledge activities for each type were presented.
