The major objectives of this study are to identify the key organizational factors that facilitate and/or inhibit the IS outsourcing in Korean hospitals, and to analyze the differences between adopter & non-adopters and successful ones and not-successful ones. In order to achieve the research objectives, we derived comprehensive lists of potential facilitators and inhibitors from the past research, and conducted a field survey on 135 hospitals in metropolitan area. The analysis results suggest that organizational, financial and strategic factors are the most important facilitators, while organizational, psychological, vendor-related and environmental factors are the most important inhibitors. In addition, it was found that factors differentiating adopters and non-adopters are organizational factor(facilitator) and environmental factor(inhibitor) while strategic factor is a differentiating one between successful hospitals and unsuccessful ones.

This study aims to investigate the overall relationship between the deterring and facilitating factors in export activities of the small and medium export companies. Nine export deterring factors are analyzed by multinational dimensional scaling(MDS) method to identify key dimensions underlying those factors. Perceptual mapping shows that some factors such as brand image, operating capital and e-trade infra are found similar in its degree of difficulties in export activities. Regression analysis shows that government export promotion measures might play an effective export facilitating factors to ease the export deterring factors like market information and manufacturing skill. Whereas difficulties arising from e-trade infra, operating capital, and brand image might be eliminated by internal competency of company, difficulties from distribution channel might be lessened by overseas orientation of chief executive of company.

자기설명이 학습을 촉진시키려면 무엇을 설명해야 하는지 판단해야 하고, 그에 대해 적절한 설명을 산출해내어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 촉진자극(propmpt)를 제공해서 무엇을 설명해야 하는지에 대해 도움을 주면 자기설명 효과가 얻어지는지 알아보았다. 또한 자기설명과 촉진 자극의 효과가 학습자의 인지욕구(need for cognition)와 상호작용하는지 알아보기 위해 인지욕구 수준을 상하로 나누어 3 요인 실험을 실시하였다. 촉진자극과 자기설명의 효과는 과제와 학습자의 인지욕구 수준에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 기억검사에서는 인지욕구가 낮은 학습자에게서만, 자기설명의 효과와 촉진자극의 효과가 관찰되었다. 반면에 이해검사에서는 인지욕구의주효과가 유의하였고, 3 요인상호작용 효과가 경향을 보였다. 즉 촉진 자극을 제공하는 것은 인지욕구가 높은 학습자에게서만 학습을 향상시켰다. 이 결과는 인지부하가 학습에 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석되었다.

The purpose of this study is to verify the anthropomorphic design factors of pedagogical agents that can enhance user experience in learning foreign languages (English) through smartphones. In this study, when designing a pedagogical agent that delivers content, the presence or absence of the agent's image, the degree of human nature (HN), and role setting (leader vs. companion) among the anthropomorphic factors that influence facilitating learning, credibility, and engagement perception. As a result of the experiment, HN alone did not show a facilitating learning effect, and images and roles improved not only the facilitating learning effect but also other user experience factors. When HN factors were designed in combination with image and role factors, they were effective in overall user experience effects such as facilitating learning, credibility, and engagement.

IMT-2000으로 새로운 이동통신의 전기를 마련할 것으로 기대되었던 제3세대(3G) WCDMA 계열의 기술은 2006년 이후 하향 속도를 고속화시킨 HSDPA를 통해 국내외에서 급속한 서비스 확산이 전개되고 있다. 특히 최근 국내에서 HSDPA 가입자의 급속한 증가는 3G 서비스가 기존 이동통신과 달리 영상통화가 가능하며 무선 초고속인터넷을 이용할 수 있는 차별화된 특성이 수용의 영향요인으로 모두 작용한 것은 아니며, 단말기 보조금과 같은 사업자의 활발한 마케팅 활동에 따른 촉진조건이 수용의 영향요인으로 작용하였을 개연성이 높다. 그런데, 국내에서 제3세대 이동통신 서비스인 HSDPA의 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 서비스의 내재적 요인과 외재적 요인을 통해 규명한 분석이 거의 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 분석에서는 기존 제2세대(2G) 서비스 대비 혁신성과 경쟁 서비스인 와이브로 대비 우위성의 서비스 차별성, 단말기 교체지원의 촉진조건과 요금부담감, 품질에 대한 비확신, 번호변경 부담감의 수용장벽이 HSDPA 서비스의 가입과 이용에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 기존 서비스 대비 혁신성, 단말기 교체지원의 촉진조건, 요금 부담감과 품질 비확신의 수용장벽이 수용의향에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이에 따라 HSDPA 서비스 활성화 방향을 제시하였다.

1990년대 중반이후 정보통신의 발달에 의한 인터넷의 활용이 전세계적으로 급속히 팽창하면서 사이버마켓이라는 새로운 시장형태하에서 전자상거래가 급속히 성장하고 있다. 인터넷 전자상거래의 성장은 기존의 유통구조를 오프라인으로부터 온라인으로 전환시키고 물류체계까지 변화시키고 있다. 전자상거래의 경우 인터넷과 같은 정보시스템의 발달에 의해 독자적으로 성장할 수 있는 것은 아니며, 실제거래를 위한 물류와 연계해서만이 가능하다. 따라서 전자상거래의 급속한 성장과 더불어 문전배송서비스(door-to-door delivery service)가 가능한 택배서비스가 급속히 증가하고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 도시내에서의 전자상거래에 의한 택배서비스시장 환경변화를 고려하여 전자상거래를 촉진시키는 어떤 요인이 택배서비스에 영향을 미치고 성장에 중요한 역할을 하는지를 파악해 보는 것도 흥미있는 일이라 하겠다. 본 연구는 시계열데이터를 이용하여 전자상거래에 의한 택배서비스시장의 상관관계를 검토하고 전자에 의한 후자의 성장요인을 분석해 보는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 택배서비스시장의 성장요인을 시장내부의 내적요인과 외부의 외적요인으로 구분하고, 외적요인을 다시 교통요인과 사회경제적 요인으로 구분하여 전자상거래를 사회경제적 요인으로 간주하였다. 그리고 이 사회경제적 요인으로서의 전자상거래에 의한 택배서비스시장의 인과관계성을 그랜저-심즈(Granger-Sims) 인과관계검정을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 한국의 전자상거래는 EDI(전자문서교환)도입업체수, 인터넷 쇼핑몰수, 인터넷 이용자수, 전자상거래를 위한 법제도 체계 등의 증가에 의해 촉진되었으며, 이에 따라 택배서비스시장도 성장한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 정부주도에 의한 정보화추진이 전자상거래를 촉진시켜 택배서비스시장에 영향을 미친 것으로 분석되었다.
