Product opportunity analysis in product planning is to analyze the feasibility for success over the detail product concept, and to grasp the new possible market based on exploring the trends of market and product itself. Therefore, the correct analysis and insight with various data of product and market is needed for product opportunity analysis. As product environment changes rapidly, it is especially important to collect more plentiful informations, and to put these information to practical use pertinently. It is consequently indispensible to clarify the types of information to be needed and to construct product database. However, there has no meaning to gather simple information which is lying here and there. Product database has to be systematically organized and each product information is to be transformed into contextual one. This study clarifies a conceptual framework of product design database based on product attributes and develops prototype of product database for product planning. Case study of camera is exemplified for analyzing the product trends and exploring product opportunity with developed product database.

The paper critically examines resource mobilization theories, frame theory, and new social movement theories, and proposes studies on the spatiality of the social movements as one potential to mitigate the limitation in these theories. The resource mobilization theories and the frame theory, the strategy-oriented approaches, lack contextual understandings of the origin of social movements. While new social movement theories provide macro-scale analysis and the structural explanations of the origins of social movements, they have covered limited geographical areas. The spatiality of social movements promotes deep understandings of local differences, and contexts in and through which grievances are constructed and collective actions are organized. Physical structures and symbolic representations of places are often created and utilized as social movement strategies. The spatiality of social movements can be a useful conceptual tool to explain the diversity and the dynamics of social movements.

Purpose - In a difficult time for a firm, it seems impossible to change circumstances by a firm. Nevertheless, the firm must do whatever it can do by however it can do. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of HRM practice on organizational effectiveness with the status quo of the firm as a moderator. Based on the result of this study, the managerial implication could be suggested as a contextual response to each status quo of the firm in improving and managing organizational effectiveness by HRM practice. Research design, data, and methodology - This study measured organizational effectiveness with employee satisfaction and organizational commitment. HRM practice includes two HR management areas, HR system, and HR attitude. HR system includes education & training and additional wage welfare. HR attitude includes employee stress and empowerment. As for the status quo of the firm, this study considered three construct; firm feature, strategic feature, environment change feature. This study analyzed 397 employees of 24 company data from the 7th HCCP of KRIVET. Result - Hypothesis 1 through Hypothesis 3 were partially supported. The results of this study suggest that to increase organizational effectiveness(job satisfaction and organizational commitment), employee stress and education & training participation need to be managed. And circumstance of an organization as given the Status Quo of the firm needs to be managed differently like firm size, environment change in demand, and technology. Conclusion - This study suggests best-practice implications based on the result between HRM practice and organizational effectiveness. And also suggest differentiation in management to increase the best-fit in management.

The purpose of this study is to examine the co-offending implementation process of robbery and burglary crime. To this end, interview data for research projects conducted by the Korea Institute of Criminology in 2013(Advancing Knowledge About Co-Offending - Burglary and Robbery in Korea) were used as secondary data. Using secondary data, we attempted a grounded theory approach. Based on the procedure presented by Strauss&Corbin (1990), the open coding stage was derived from 51 concepts, 22 subcategories and 8 upper categories. According to an analysis tool called "coding paradigm," the causal condition is the cause of the robbery and burglary crime. Contextual conditions are the formation of co-offending relationship and the reason for selecting co-offending. The central phenomenon is the co-offending implementation of robbery and burglary crime. Interventing conditions are conflict between co-offenders and occurrence of arrest factor. The action/interaction strategy is arrested all co-offenders. The consequence consisted of ending the co-offending relationship. Finally, the selective coding stage selected 'the development of conflict between formation and end of co-offending relationship' as the core category, and newly established the co-offending relationship of robbery and burglary crime through the process of 'formation-implementation-conflict-arrest-end'.

The purpose of this study is to measure the shopping experience of a more specific SNS shopping service, limited to shopping through the Instagram of the Millennial Generation. Based on the AISAS purchasing phase, a qualitative study was conducted on the user experience of SNS shopping services in parallel with the survey and in-depth interviews. As a result of the study, the aesthetic experience appeared mainly in the Attention stage and the Interest stage, the emotional experience in the Action stage and the Share stage, and the cognitive experience in the Search stage. While there have been many empirical studies on the impact of SNS on consumer behavior to date, this study is meaningful in that it has led to a contextual study of the user experience on SNS shopping services. The research is expected to help establish a brand and service strategy differentiated from existing mobile shopping services when providing SNS shopping services in the future.

Purpose: This study was conducted to derive a substantive theory on lived experiences of elderly cancer patients. Methods: The data were collected from February to March 2018 through in-depth personal interviews with 14 elderly cancer patients. The collected data were analyzed based on Corbin and Strauss's grounded theory. Results: The core category was "the journey to find balance in daily lives as a cancer patient by recovering disturbed ego integrity." The core phenomenon was "shattered by suffering from cancer," and the causal conditions were "physical change" and "limitations in daily life." The contextual conditions were "decreased self-esteem," "feelings of guilt toward the family," and the sense of "economic burden." The participants' action and interaction strategies were "maintaining or avoiding social relations," "seeking meaning of the illness," "falling into despair," and "strengthening the willingness to battle the cancer." The intervening conditions were "support from health care providers and family," "dissatisfaction with health care providers," "spiritual help from religion," and "the improvement or worsening of health conditions." The consequences were "having a new insight for life," "living positively along with cancer illness," and "the loss of willingness to live." A summary of the series of processes includes the "crisis stage," "reorganizing stage," and the "ego integration stage." Conclusion: This study explored the holistic process of ego integrity impairment and the recovery experience of elderly cancer patients. This study is expected to be used as a basis for the development of nursing interventions that can support patients when coping with all stages of their cancer illness trajectory.

Recently, research has been actively conducted to utilize blockchain technology in various fields. In particular, blockchain-based smart contracts are applied to various automation systems that require reliability as they have the characteristics of recording data in a distributed ledger environment to verify the integrity and validity of data. However, blockchain does not provide data access control and information security because data is shared among network participants. In this paper, we propose a user dynamic access control mechanism utilizing smart contracts in blockchain environments. The proposed mechanism identifies the user's contextual information when accessing data, allocating the user's role and dynamically controlling the data access range. This can increase the security of the system and the efficiency of data management by granting data access dynamically at the time of user authentication, rather than providing the same services in roles assigned to each user group of the network system. The proposed mechanism is expected to provide flexible authentication capabilities through dynamic data access control by users to enhance the security of data stored within blockchain networks.
