Due to the increase of size and complexity of construction project, the frequency of serious accidents in construction industry has been increased. Especially, the proportion of accidents in formwork of building construction site is very high, and many previous studies have been conducted to preventing them in the viewpoint of the diverse approaches. However, their effectiveness on accidents prevention was poor, and as a result, it is limited to consider the potential risks because many workers and managers tend not to be concerned with unsafe factors in formwork. Therefore, in this study, a realistic and proactive way for analyzing these potential risks was proposed in the manner of quantitatively assessing the potentials resulted from the unsafe factors in formwork. To verify the applicability of the proposed methodology, group survey was carried out, and the results were compared with those of the traditional importance-performance analysis(hereafter IPA) technique. Through the use of the proposed methodology, unsafe factors that were not found in the IPA but have potential risk were identified. Eventually, this study is expected to contribute to the proactive prevention of construction serious disaster accidents in formwork by enabling a more efficient management.

The Korean construction order volume in South Korea grew significantly from 91.3 trillion won in public orders in 2013 to a total of 212 trillion won in 2021, particularly in the private sector. As the size of the domestic and overseas markets grew, the scale and complexity of EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects increased, and risk management of project management and ITB (Invitation to Bid) documents became a critical issue. The time granted to actual construction companies in the bidding process following the EPC project award is not only limited, but also extremely challenging to review all the risk terms in the ITB document due to manpower and cost issues. Previous research attempted to categorize the risk terms in EPC contract documents and detect them based on AI, but there were limitations to practical use due to problems related to data, such as the limit of labeled data utilization and class imbalance. Therefore, this study aims to develop an AI model that can categorize the contract terms based on the FIDIC Yellow 2017(Federation Internationale Des Ingenieurs-Conseils Contract terms) standard in detail, rather than defining and classifying risk terms like previous research. A multi-text classification function is necessary because the contract terms that need to be reviewed in detail may vary depending on the scale and type of the project. To enhance the performance of the multi-text classification model, we developed the ELECTRA PLM (Pre-trained Language Model) capable of efficiently learning the context of text data from the pre-training stage, and conducted a four-step experiment to validate the performance of the model. As a result, the ensemble version of the self-developed ITB-ELECTRA model and Legal-BERT achieved the best performance with a weighted average F1-Score of 76% in the classification of 57 contract terms.

Cloud Computing has drawn attention as one of 10 IT strategic technology trends and has various advantages such as cost reduction and enhancing business flexibility. However, corporations hesitate to adopt the service because of unexpected risks. Especially compared to large firm, medium and small ones use public cloud that security risk is high. Meanwhile, real option strategy has drawn attention as the method to hedge uncertainty in IT projects. Therefore, in this study causal relationships among technical, security, relational, and economic risks of cloud service will be investigated. Eventually, this study investigates how those risks influence the intention to choose the real option about the cloud service. For this study, five hypotheses is drawn, and a survey is conducted about the medium and small firms which are currently using cloud service to examine hypotheses. Since the study is at organizational level, 287 questionnaire replies are recalculated to 120 firms. For statistical analysis, Smart PLS and SPSS Statistics18 are used. As a result, technical risk of cloud service has significantly positive influence on security risk. Second, security risk and relational risk of cloud service has significantly positive influence on economic risk. Third, economic risk of cloud service has significantly positive influence on the intention to purchase the delay option or abandon option. Based on this result, this research discussed practical and academic implications and the limitations.

Turn-key and CMF(CM for Fee) have been selected as procurement paths of large public projects in Korea. However, recently, researches and discussions on CMR(CM at Risk) have been popular as the Korean government seeks for alternative procurement paths to enhance the performance. In the CMR projects, the part who is responsible for construction management should predict and control the potential risks for guaranteeing benefits. In this research, CMR projects in which a general contractor plays the role as CMr is mainly analyzed. We give attentions to risk management during construction process given that subcontractors, main parts in this phase, work in various ways and thus more chances for faults exist. In this case, CMr manages risks to control the procedure of project. So, potential risk factors can constitute the database, and that database can be matched to following activity. And construction manager can forecast measures of risk using the result of matching. This chain of activities increase efficiency in roles of CMr on CMR(CM at Risk). Furthermore this study will propose one of the solution of Construction Management Module.

The reality is that many security and administrative issues with the expansion of the IT assets in accordance with the abrupt change in the business environment, most companies today are struggling. Information within an organization is a party through external hackers and viruses that are increasingly intelligent risk, and the risk of internal data spills occur through an unauthorized party and internal information in accordance with the co-operation of the outsourcing company and the employee wants to see a sense of security and due to the frequent project asset outflows the risk is increasing gradually. In this paper, in preparation for such a growing security risk management and the increasing of problems, proposes the Total Management Model by using Microsoft's Directory Service & HR Solution that is an integrated management model that can take low-cost, high-efficiency.

Government needs a risk assessment method that is effective in preventing accidents as a part of the three principal projects of the government for protecting the people's lives for establishing preventative measures to prevent accidents in the construction sites, which accounted for more than half of all accidental mortality accidents, and promote the safety-oriented culture for making fundamental changes. Accidents at the medium and small sized construction sites accounted for 88.9% of the total construction accidents. The data indicates that improper management and lack of advanced safety measures due to the absence of a safety supervisor are the biggest problems. It is believed that active measures to evaluate and prevent risks at construction sites are necessary for preventing accidents in the medium and small sized construction sites. The objectives of this study is to identify the key risk items of common accident causes and propose a practical, preemptive, and improved risk assessment method by evaluating the problems in the safety management of construction sites for reducing the accident rate in the medium and small sized construction sites.

Many companies have considered IT outsourcing as one of strategic alternatives in order to rapidly respond to changing business environment and strengthen their competitiveness. Despite its strategic role, however, IT outsourcing project has been plagued by a high failure rate and difficulty in realizing the promised project performance because of its inappropriate risk management. This study examines the effect of IT project management risk factors on project performance. We propose that project risk management factors(communication, technology sharing, and project control) influence project performance(process performance and product performance). Based on the empirical results, theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed along with its limitations.
