Efficiency of the construction process is one of the most important factors to project success. However efficiency is not well defined or measured in construction projects in general. More importantly, efficiency of the construction should be viewed through the life-cycle of the whole production system not in a single phase of the construction process. Therefore, this study defines the concept of efficiency and suggests the efficiency measurement model in construction. As a case study, the suggested model was applied to the curtain wall construction process of the high rise buildings as well.

정보화가 진전됨에 따라 많은 컴퓨터 시스템이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 대부분의 컴퓨터 시스템들이 초기에는 독자적인 운영에 만족하였으나 시스템의 효율성이나 사용자의 요구로 인하여 시스템간의 정보교환에서 기능교환에 이르기까지 정보시스템의 상호운용성이 시스템의 성능을 측정하는 중요한 요소가 되어가고 있다. 그리고 컴포넌트 기반의 새로운 소프트웨어 개발 패러다임이 발전하면서 컴포넌트의 상호운용성과 재사용성을 이용한 시스템 개발이 시도되고 있고 컴포넌트 개발 방법론 또한 발전하고 있다. 그러나 정보 시스템의 상호운용성에 관한 체계적인 연구는 현재 미비한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 미 국방성에서 정보시스템의 상호운용성 측정 및 평가를 위하여 사용하는 LISI 모델을 확장하여 컴포넌트 기반 시스템외 상호운용성을 측정 및 평가할 수 있는 상호운용 능력 모텔을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 컴포넌트 상호운용 능력 모델은 컴포넌트 기반 시스템의 개발 프로세스에 따라 각 개발 단계에서 상호운용성을 측정할 수 있도록 고안되었다. 따라서 본 논문의 상호운용 능력 모텔은 상호운용 성숙도 모델로 확장하여 기 개발된 시스템의 상호운용 성숙도 측정이나 향상에 사용할 수 있다.

Logistics systems provide their service to customers by coordinating the resources with limited capacity throughout the underlying processes involved to each other. To maintain the high level of service under such complicated condition, it is essential to carry out the real-time monitoring and continuous management of logistics processes. In this study, we propose a method of estimating the service completion time of key processes based on process-state information collected in real time. We first identify the factors that influence the process completion time by modeling and analyzing an influence diagram, and then suggest algorithms for quantifying the factors. We suppose the container terminal logistics and the process of discharging and loading containers to a vessel. The remaining service time of a vessel is estimated using a decision tree which is the result of machine-learning using historical data. We validated the estimation model using container terminal simulation. The proposed model is expected to improve competitiveness of logistics systems by forecasting service completion in real time, as well as to prevent the waste of resources.

The strategic management process includes the establishment of competitive strategy, its implementation and the measurement of its performance. The sucess of strategic management largely depends on the integration of strategic management process into a managerial tool. This study is on the integration of strategic management process into a managerial tool based on the power process, so that it contributes to strategic success or sustainable competitive advantage of a ￡inn In order to do this, I discussed the principles of the power process, its characteristics, and then suggest their applications to the integration of the strategic management process. According to the results, the power process offers a theoretical and managerial tool which integrates the establishment of competitive strategy with managerial concepts, so that it increases the likelihood of strategic success. Furthermore I discussed the position of the power process approach to competitive advantage in a manner that displays similarities and differences with existing approaches such as industry organizational, resource-based and game theory approach.

The purpose of this study is to propose a throughput costing as a performance measurement tool to measure cost indicators, which are one of the indicators for evaluating organizational performance in a smart factory manufacturing environment. An empirical study by questionnaire was conducted, and 60 experts were surveyed to verify the hypothesis. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the information provided based on throughput costing is helpful in cost measurement and in evaluating organizational performance efficiency and effectiveness, and it was confirmed that this method has usefulness to support the planning and control process. It is proposed that the use of throughput costing by constraint theory, which can maximize throughput and optimize inventory levels in the manufacturing process, can find solutions to bottlenecks affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational performance.

Extant studies have explained that firm's innovations including technological product and process innovations contribute to its competitive advantage and growth, thereby supporting competitiveness and growth of industry. These studies, however, have focused mainly on the role and effect of technological change that is primarily measured by the patent numbers and R&D intensity. Aside from these traditional streams, there has been growing interest on the impact by various dimensions of innovation including non-technological innovations. Apart from the discussions on the dimensions and scope of innovation, stages or processes of innovation also have been studied. Extant studies on innovation process model, however, has limited its interests in the structure of the transformation of knowledge. This study have established a comprehensive model embracing operational and financial performance to investigate the causal paths between innovation and firm performance. Using multi-level generalized linear model with path analysis, this study have found results as follows: First, the processes from innovative activities to innovation output and outcomes including operational and financial performance at firm level were verified. Secondly, the influence of innovation decreases gradually as the distance away from the direct outputs of the innovation increase in the direction of financial outcomes. Third, the effect of innovation on the sales growth rate is higher for small businesses than for medium-sized businesses. The effect of innovation on the profit rate, however, is significant only for medium-sized businesses. For large businesses, innovation has no positive significant impact on any financial performance at all. Fourth, Fourth, the appropriability of innovation has positive impacts on innovative performance, patent applications, and operational performance.

The purpose of the research is to propose an integrated project planning process and its implementation method. Although there is increasing interest in the application of the Earned Value Management(EVM) method in the project management area, the progress and maturity of the technical performance have not been included in assessing the Earned Value. The main concept of the planning process is to use cost, schedule, as well as the technical performance in the assessment of the Earned Value Management for Military R&D project management practices. The resulting process can enhance the efficiency of the project work by eliminating the currently duplicated activities between traditional project planning process and the newly implemented Earned Value Management process and by shortening the early planning process duration of projects adopting EVM practices.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a firm's dynamic capabilities measured by sensing, seizing, transforming, coordinating, and learning capabilities on its competitive capabilities, such as product quality, process flexibility, delivery speed, and low cost. The relationship among dynamic capabilities, competitive capabilities, and export firm performance is set up as a research model based on empirical studies related to the existing dynamic capability perspective and competitive capabilities. To test this research model, this study collected 102 samples of data using a questionnaire survey on both manufacturing and exporting firms. The partial least squares method is used and the following results are derived from an empirical analysis. First, dynamic capabilities have a positive effect on competitive capabilities, such as product quality, process flexibility, delivery speed, and low cost. Second, product quality and process flexibility have a positive effect on export firm performance. Third, unlike previous research results, this study finds that the competitive capabilities of a firm in the areas of delivery speed and low cost do not significantly affect its performance. These findings provide meaningful implications for export venture firms that need to acquire and maintain competitive advantage in a rapidly changing environment.
