Competitive aggressiveness has long been believed to be the direct trigger for increased business performance, however, as a mediating variable it still needs to be further proven. This paper aims to examine the causal relationship between network capability, knowledge creation, innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness, and business performance of private universities. One model is proposed to test the role of competitive aggressiveness as a mediating variable. The population is lecturers at the 10 best private universities in East Java, Indonesia. Analysis by SEM, on 230 respondents, using random sampling method. The results show that the model is accepted, and competitive aggressiveness is proven to be a positive mediating variable in the relationship of network capability, knowledge creation, innovativeness, and business performance. The results also show that knowledge creation, and innovativeness, have an effect on competitive aggressiveness, while network capability has no effect. The research implication is that management should encourage lecturers and organizations to be more productive in conducting research and writing articles published in reputable journals, this will increase the ranking of universities. In order for the lecturers be more enthusiastic, the management gave an award to each lecturer who could submit their articles, which were then published by reputable journals.

A total of 2109 isolates of Botrytis cinerea were collected from infected plants fo strawberry, tomato, and cucumber in Korea from 1994 to 1996. Based on in virtotests for mycelial growth on potato-dextrose agar containing fungicides, the esolates were classified into six phenotypic groups : SSR, SRR, RSS, RRS, RSR, and RRR, representing sensitivity (S) or resistance (R) to carbendazim, procymidone, and diethofencarb. In that order the isolation frequencies of the SSR, SRR, RSS, RRS, RSR, and RRR phenotypes were 28.7, 1.1, 28.8, 39.4, 1.0, and 0.9%, respectively. Three isolates from each SSR, SRR, RSS, RRS, and RSR and an isolate of RRR phenotype were selected and evaluated for their fitness-related characteristics such as pathogenic aggressiveness, mycelial growth rate, sporulation, and sclerotial formation. Competitive abilities of the SSR, SRR, RSS, RRS, and RSR phenotypes were also compared by inculating mixtures of conidial suspensions of two phenotypes to cucumber plant, and then determining re-isolation frequencies from lesions. In general, significant differences in fitness-related characteristics, except pathogenic aggressiveness, were found not only between but also within phenotype groups. In the competitiveness tests, carbendazim-sinsitive phenotypes (SSR and SRR) were found to be more competitive than the resistant ones (RSS and RSR), whereas, the procymidone-resistant phenotypes (SRR and RRS) appeared to be more competitive than the sensitive ones (SSR, RSS, and RSR). There was no consistent dominance in competitiveness between the diethofencarb-resistant and sensitive phenotypes. The RSR phenotype was the least competitive among the five phenotypes.

This study desires to examine the impact of five dimensions of entrepreneurial (EO) orientation (innovation, competitive aggressiveness, proactiveness, risk-taking, autonomy) on the operation of women-owned SMEs; the author conducted a case study in Vietnam. How will each dimension of EO affect women-owned SMEs' performance? This study aims to seek the answer to these questions. A survey research design and a theoretical framework have been developed for all factors in the current context. A simple random sampling technique was applied in 300 SMEs in some provinces of Vietnam through a survey questionnaire, and a total of 258 valid responses were assessed as appropriate. The obtained data was analyzed by using SPSS 20.0. Cronbach's α test and factor analysis have been carried out to test the reliability of data and validate the hypothesis. Research results show that innovation, competitive aggressiveness, proactiveness, and autonomy positively affect business performance, while risk-taking negatively affects business performance. The results suggest that female business owners should know how to improve each dimension of the entrepreneurial in line with its context. Research results are important implications for Government administrative agencies for businesses to consult and introduce effective support policies. It is recommended that similar studies be replicated to confirm this result.

Purpose: The companies must be located in the area, scale up, create jobs, and return to the local economy. This paper attempted to analyze empirically the relationship between regional context and entrepreneurial orientation(EO) in the region of Korea. Methods: This paper analyzed survey data and regional statistics. We measured EO by region and then examined which regional context affect EO. Regional contexts were measured by population, economic size, budget size, firm size, innovation capacity, and education level. EO was measured by innovativeness, risk taking, proactiveness, autonomy, competitive aggressiveness, and need for achievement. Results: EO was high in the region where the budget size per thousand population, the number of manufacturers per thousand population, the number of new corporations per thousand population, the number of R&D personnel per thousand population, and the number of students of higher education institutions per thousand population were high. Conclusion: The implications of this paper are that regional context affect EO, and there are differences in budget scale, firm size, innovation capacity, and education level. In regions with many investment resources for innovation and startups and manufacturers, the number of R&D personnel and students of higher education institutions (future R&D personnel), in particular, determines EO.

중소창업기업이 급변하는 시장에서 살아남기 위해서는 다양한 성과요인들이 있으며, 많은 연구결과에서 창업자의 창업지향성 확립이 중요하다고 논의되고 있다. 따라서 중소창업기업이 지속적인 경쟁우위를 확보하고 새로운 기회를 포착하기 위한 요인에 대한 분석과 기업성과 간의 관계 분석은 많은 중소창업기업에게 방향을 제시하며, 가치 있는 일이라 할 수 있겠다. 본 연구에서는 창업지향성(Entrepreneurial Orientation)의 주요 변수에 대한 탐색적 연구를 통해 기업성과(Firm Performance)에 대한 영향 요인을 고찰하고 실증적 연구를 통하여 확인 하였다. 본 연구는 중소창업기업 CEO의 창업지향성, 학습지향성(Learning Orientation)과 기업성과 간의 관련성을 탐색하기 위한 연구로 진행되었으며 다음과 같은 부분을 검증하였다. 첫째, 창업지향성(진취성, 경쟁적 공격성, 위험감수성, 혁신성)이 학습지향성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였으며, 둘째, 창업지향성이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였으며, 마지막으로 학습지향성이 창업지향성과 기업성과 간에 매개되는 영향요인을 실증적 연구를 통해 검증하였다. 본 연구는 학습지향성이 창업자의 창업지향성과 기업성과 간의 관계에 있어서 매개효과를 밝혔다는 점에서 이론적 기여하며, 창업지향성의 개념 정의에 있어서 국내에서 연구된 기존 선행연구와는 다른 새로운 차원으로 정의하여 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과, 각각의 중소창업기업은 다양한 창업지향성을 바탕으로 기업성과에 상이한 영향력을 가지고 있음을 보여주었다. 이를 통하여 창업지향성에 대한 독립적인 연구의 필요성을 제시하고 있다. 결론적으로 중소창업기업들에게 있어 창업지향성은 기업성과에 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다는 점과 중소창업기업의 창업 경영자는 경쟁적 공격성보다는 혁신적이며, 위험 감수적인 의사결정이 기업 활동에 보다 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 시사점으로 제시하였다. 또한, 위험감수성은 정성적 기업성과에 긍정적이며, 혁신성은 정량적 경영성과와 정성적 기업성과 모두에 긍정적 영향을 미친다는 결론을 도출하였다. 이러한 본 연구의 결론은 중소창업기업 창업 경영자들이 창업지향성을 수립 시, 필요한 실무적인 기초 자료로 활용 가능하리라 기대한다.

은행의 고객만족 및 서비스 품질을 통한 경쟁력 강화를 위해 은행에 대한 품질요인을 '과정품질(process quality)', '결과품질(outcome quality)', 그리고 '서비스 환경품질(service quality)'의 세차원으로 나누어 분석하였다. 서비스 품질에 대한 분류는 Kano의 품질분류 모델을 이용하였으며 고객만족 개선을 위한 고객만족 지수를 산출하였다. 고객만족 지수의 산출은 기존에 사용하던 잠재적 고객만족 개선지수(PCSI Index)의 한계를 보완하여 가중 잠재적 고객만족 개선지수(WPCSI)를 이용하였다. 가중 잠재적 고객만족 개선지수(WPCSI)는 본 연구에서 제시한 방법으로 고객들이 인식하는 품질요인에 대한 중요성을 고려한 지수이다. 연구결과 '직원의 업무처리 능력', '원하는 서비스를 제공받은 정도', '직원이 업무를 신속하게 처리하는 정도'의 품질특성 요인이 고객에게 충족될 경우 만족도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, '직원들의 상품설명에 대한 적극성', '서비스 환경이 전반적으로 아름다운 정도'는 충족과 만족간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않고 있음을 확인할 수 있다.
