  • 본 연구는 1950년대 중반 이후 나타난 한국 경제지리학의 연구 성과와 과제를 검토하여 한국 경제지리학의 지향점과 연구 과제를 제시하는데 주안점을 두었다. 20세기 후반 이후 경제지리학은 새로운 이슈, 이론, 방법론 등의 도입과 함께 크게 발전하였다. 이에 따라 한국 경제지리학도 지난 반세기 동안 연구의 양적인 면과 질적인 면에서 크게 발전하였다. 본 논문은 1950년대 중반 이후 한국의 농업지리학, 공업지리학, 상업지리학 등의 문헌을 검토함으로써 한국 경제지리학의 동향을 분석하고자 하였다. 한국 경제지리학은 연구의 주제와 접근방법을 기반으로 네 개 시기- 요람기(1950년대), 정립기(1960~1970년대), 도약기(1980~1990년대 중반), 전환기(1990년대 후기 이후) -로 구분할 수 있다. 1980년대 한국 경제지리학의 연구 관심이 공업지리학으로 옮겨지면서 농업지리학은 크게 쇠퇴하였다. 특히, 1990년대 후반 이후 가치사슬, 혁신 클러스터, 협력과 경쟁 네트워크, 해외직접투자, 유연적 전문화, 벤처 생태계 등과 같은 주요 이슈를 중심으로 새로운 제도적 관점의 이론이 도입되면서 공업지리학은 크게 성장하였다. 상업지리학에서는 1980년대까지 정기시장, 상품 유통, 상가 구조 등에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어졌으나, 1990년대 이후에는 생산자 서비스를 중심으로 한 서비스 산업과 새로운 양식의 출현에 따른 소비 입지 형태와 상권에 관한 연구들이 많이 이루어졌다. 이와 더불어 1990년대 후반 이후 신경제지리학과 관련된 많은 연구와 담론들이 출현하기 시작하였다. 특히, 제도적 관점, 지식과 혁신, 생산 사슬과 혁신 네트워크, 산업 클러스터와 지역혁신체제 등을 중심으로 다양한 경제공간의 변화에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어졌다. 한국 경제지리학은 1990년대 이후 급격한 양적 질적 성장을 이루었지만, 여전히 대부분의 연구가 몇몇 특정 공간과 이슈에 집중되어 있는 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 경제지리학 전반에서 볼 때, 새로운 이론적 및 방법론적 관점과 접근 방식을 보다 적극적으로 도입하여 연구 주제를 다양화 시켜야 할 뿐만 아니라 연구의 공간 범위도 다층화하는 것이 앞으로 중점으로 지향해야 할 주요 연구 과제이다.

  • Under the provision of Article 63 of the Enforcement Regulation of the Act on Acquisition and Compensation of Land and Others for Public Project that is recently enacted and implemented (hereinafter referred to as the 'Lend Compensation Act') the compensation is required to make 'When the Actual Damage Amount' is confirmed for the damage in fishery affairs that is outside of the public project area. The compensation for fishery business on the indirect damage area has been excluded from the advance compensation subject to conflict with the existing laws on fishery business compensation with the controversy in method, procedure, time and others to confirm the actual damage amount, and it lacks the standard of calculation for detailed compensation on partial damages outside of business implementation area, which caused the ceaseless conflicts and straggles between the project implementation party and the victimized fishermen regarding the calculation method of damages, standard, compensation period and others. In particular, from the numerous problems in damage compensation in fishery on the indirect damage area, the most recent problem emerged is the issue on application method of damage period in calculating the damage compensation amount that the struggle has been deepened with the differences between the project implementation party and the victimized fishermen without the stipulation on the compensation, that caused the difficulties in carrying out the public project and other serious social problems. In this study, the reasonable application method for the damage period and the calculation plan of the damage amount for calculating the damages on fishery industry outside of the public project implementation zone that is not fully specified under the Land Compensation Act, and the indirect damage area is not influenced for the notification of project recognition, and the compensation to undertake with the damage in the fishery industry in project implementation area to have the nature of damage compensation, the right to engage in fishery industry has the perpetual nature of rights, the fishery damage compensation system of Japan also recognizes the perpetual right on fishery industry to calculate the compensation amount, and the compensation for damage amount has been exercised for the period of actual damage occurrence period regardless of remaining effective period for most of fishery permit and license for fishery compensation outside of the project implementation area following the recent various public projects as well as the development process of theory on fishery loss compensation that the calculation of damage amount on the fishery industry outside of the project implementation zone would be prudent to compensate by calculating the applicable damages during the period of actual damages, and by doing so, the 'just compensation' guaranteed under the Constitution may be materialized. Therefore, the calculation of the damages from the implementation of the public project shall consider the actual period of damages and the degree of damage from the public project to calculate by the income capitalization method, however, considering the equitable consideration with the compensation following the cancellation, it shall not exceed the compensation following the termination of the applicable fishery businesses. Furthermore, the calculation method of partial damage amount on the fishery business following the project implementation shall apply, depending on the period of damage occurrence, by (1) the case of calculating the future damage amount at the present time, and (2) calculating the damage from the past to the present time as well as the damage to be incurred later, by selecting the calculation method for damages following the damage occurrence type.

  • 디지털이라는 새로운 커뮤니케이션 미디어의 등장은 경이로운 한편 문화적 긴장이기도 하다. 인간의 능력을 극적으로 확장시켜주는 산업기술들은 우리가 그것에 적응해 가는 속도보다 훨씬 빠르게 세력을 확대하고 곤다. 이것은 예외 없이 인간에 대한 개념 자체를 뒤흔듦으로써 새로운 문화의 내용과 형식을 만들어낸다. 디지털의 영향으로 우리나라 방송환경은 지상파, 케이블, 위성, 인터넷 등으로 다원화됨으로써 다매체, 다채널 시대로 진입되었다. 디지털 문화피서 방송은 정보전달과 커뮤니케이션 매체로서 과거보다 더 큰 영향력을 발휘하게 되었다. 이 같은 방송환경의 변화는 TV 시청자들을 능동적인 커뮤니케이션의 주체자, 참여자, 이용자로서 미디어를 선택하고 이용하는 존재라는 새로운 개념의 수용자로 출현시켰다. 본 연구는 채널선택의 주체로 능동적 수용자가 방송의 중심에 서게 되면서, 방송의 코어 아이덴티티(Core Identity)에 대한 문제제기를 브랜드를 통해 구조화시키고자 한다. 능동적 수용자에 대한 인지심리학적 접근방법으로 이야기 스키마(Schema) 이론을 적용하여 '정보처리과정(information processing)'과 연관되어 있는 '인지적 과정(cognitve processes)'을 설명할 수 있다. 이것은 이야기가 있는 디자인으로서 브랜드의 스토리텔링 사례로 나타난다. 연구범위는 지상파 TV 방송에서 시사 교양 단위 프로그램들을 대상으로 했으며, 기간은 2004년 5월에서 8월에 걸쳐 방송중인 브랜드를 국내외 각 방송사별로 사례 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통해 방송의 채널 아이덴티티가 단위 프로그램의 브랜드 전략에서도 함께 고려되어야 한다 것은 중요하였다. 특히 방송사를 대표하는 프로그램은 별개의 단위 프로그램으로 취급되어서는 안 되며, 채널 아이덴티티를 형성하는 내용과 형식에서 함께 다루어져야 할 것이다. 또한 앵커의 브랜드화 역시 방송의 브랜드 정체성에 중요한 변인이 될 수 있음을 재차 확인할 수 있었다.

  • This descriptive-correlational study was conducted to identify the major factors affecting health promoting behaviors. 344 workers who employed in four different manutacturing plants in Taegu and Kyungbuk area were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected from April let to April 18th, 1998 by ready structured questionaires. The purpose of this study was to offer the basic data for health promotion theory development and health promotion strategy planning. This study was based on Pender's Health Promotion Model and examined three variables health promoting behavior, self-concept and perceived importance of health. The Life Style and Health Habit Assessment scale(LHHA) developed by Pender(1982).The Self-concept scale developed by Choi(1972) and the Health Value scale developed by Wallston, Maides and Wallston(1980) were used for this study. Data was analyzed by percentage, mean. t-test. ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The major findings of this study are as follows ; 1. The average level of health promoting behavior practice was 63.2% and possible range was from 62 to 248 point. The mean score of respondent's positive self-concept was 75.8. 81.4% of respondents put a high priority on the importance of health. 2. There was a significant difference between the practice level in the category of general self care and less amount of working hours per day(P=0.000), less amount of working hours per week(P=0.000). There was a significant difference between the practice level in the category of nutrition and age(0.002), marital status(0.000), working hour per day(0.008), working hours per week(0.001), There was a significant difference between the practice level in the category of nutriton and sex(0.000), age(0.000), marital status(0.025), education level(0.000), working hours per day(0.002), working hours per week(0.006). There was a significant difference between the practice level in the category of sleep and rest and age(0.003), marital status(0.002), working hours per day(0.001), working hours per week(0.001). There was a significant difference between the practice level in the category of stress management and working hours per day(0.001), working hours per week(0.002). There was a significant difference between the practice level in the category of self-actualization and working hours per day(0.050). 3. General characteristics influencing the respodent's self-concept were level(P=0.009) and worksite(P=0.001). 4. The results of the hypothesis tests are as follows The first hypothesis, that "The respondent who have more positive self-concept will have higher scores in the practice of health promoting behavior." was supported(r=0.2973, P=0.0001). The second hypothesis that "The respondent who have higher perception level on importance of health will have higher scores in the practice health promoting behavior." was rejected(r=- 0665, P=0.2225). 5. The most important factor that affects health promoting behavior practice was working hours per week(6.0%). The combination of working hours per week, age, education level accounted for 10.0% of the variance in health promoting behavior. In conclusion, the results of this study on industrial workers supported Pender's health promotion model in partial and showed the relatedness between self concept and the practice of health promoting behavior. Further research is required to find factors influencing health promoting behaviors of industrial workers.

  • The objective of this study is to examine how to maximize the efficiency of hospital management by minimizing the unit cost of hospital operation. For this purpose, this paper proposes to develop a model of the profit maximization based on the cost minimization dictum using the statistical tools of arriving at the maximum likelihood values. The preliminary survey data are collected from the annual statistics and their analyses published by Korea Health Industry Development Institute and Korean Hospital Association. The maximum likelihood value statistical analyses are conducted from the information on the cost (function) of each of 36 hospitals selected by the random stratified sampling method according to the size and location (urban or rural) of hospitals. We believe that, although the size of sample is relatively small, because of the sampling method used and the high response rate, the power of estimation of the results of the statistical analyses of the sample hospitals is acceptable. The conceptual framework of analyses is adopted from the various models of the determinants of hospital costs used by the previous studies. According to this framework, the study postulates that the unit cost of hospital operation is determined by the size, scope of service, technology (production function) as measured by capacity utilization, labor capital ratio and labor input-mix variables, and by exogeneous variables. The variables to represent the above cost determinants are selected by using the step-wise regression so that only the statistically significant variables may be utilized in analyzing how these variables impact on the hospital unit cost. The results of the analyses show that the models of hospital cost determinants adopted are well chosen. The various models analyzed have the (goodness of fit) overall determination (R2) which all turned out to be significant, regardless of the variables put in to represent the cost determinants. Specifically, the size and scope of service, no matter how it is measured, i. e., number of admissions per bed, number of ambulatory visits per bed, adjusted inpatient days and adjusted outpatients, have overall effects of reducing the hospital unit costs as measured by the cost per admission, per inpatient day, or office visit implying the existence of the economy of scale in the hospital operation. Thirdly, the technology used in operating a hospital has turned out to have its ramifications on the hospital unit cost similar to those postulated in the static theory of the firm. For example, the capacity utilization as represented by the inpatient days per employee tuned out to have statistically significant negative impacts on the unit cost of hospital operation, while payroll expenses per inpatient cost has a positive effect. The input-mix of hospital operation, as represented by the ratio of the number of doctor, nurse or medical staff per general employee, supports the known thesis that the specialized manpower costs more than the general employees. The labor/capital ratio as represented by the employees per 100 beds is shown to have a positive effect on the cost as expected. As for the exogeneous variable's impacts on the cost, when this variable is represented by the percent of urban 100 population at the location where the hospital is located, the regression analysis shows that the hospitals located in the urban area have a higher cost than those in the rural area. Finally, the case study of the sample hospitals offers a specific information to hospital administrators about how they share in terms of the cost they are incurring in comparison to other hospitals. For example, if his/her hospital is of small size and located in a city, he/she can compare the various costs of his/her hospital operation with those of other similar hospitals. Therefore, he/she may be able to find the reasons why the cost of his/her hospital operation has a higher or lower cost than other similar hospitals in what factors of the hospital cost determinants.

  • 최근 담배제조회사의 불법행위법상 손해배상책임을 둘러싼 소송이 계속되고 있다. 이미 대법원 판결이 나온 사건도 있고, 현재 소송이 계속 중인 사건도 있는데, 원고가 증거로 제출한 역학 자료에 의하여 흡연과 질병 사이의 인과관계가 증명되었다고 볼 수 있는지가 이 사건들의 공통된 주요 쟁점이다. 담배소송에서 인과관계의 증명이 쟁점으로 부각되는 까닭은 흡연에 따른 질병의 발생이 흡연 외의 다양한 요인의 영향을 받을 뿐만 아니라 흡연과 발병 사이의 시간적 간격도 길어 원고가 인과관계의 증명에 곤란을 겪기 때문이다. 흡연자 담배소송의 대법원 판결(대판 2014. 4. 10, 2011다22092)은 역학적 증거에 의한 인과관계의 증명 여부에 관하여 비교적 신중한 입장을 취하고 있는데, 몇 가지 아쉬움이 남는다. 첫째, 대법원은 질병을 특이성 질환과 비특이성 질환으로 2분하여 양자 사이에 인과관계의 증명방법을 달리 보았다. 그러나 특이성 질환의 개념은 발병요인에 관하여 의학계와 보건학계에서 확립된 학설인 다요인설에 배치된다. 더구나 불법행위법의 영역에서 특이성 질환 개념을 새로 도입하여야 할 필요성도 발견하기 어렵다. 둘째, 대법원은 비특이성 질환의 경우에 역학적 상관관계가 인정된다고 하더라도 원고가 위험인자에 노출된 시기와 노출 정도, 발병시기, 그 위험인자에 노출되기 전의 건강상태, 생활습관 등을 증명하여 그 위험인자에 의하여 비특이성 질환이 유발되었을 개연성을 증명하여야 한다고 하였다. 하지만 질병과 위험인자와의 역학적 관련성이 상당한 강도에 이른 경우에도 여전히 원고에게 추가적 증명책임을 부과하는 것은 권리구제의 범위를 지나치게 좁힐 우려가 있다. 셋째, 대법원이 이처럼 역학적 증거의 가치를 인정하는 데에 소극적인 까닭은 역학적 연구가 개인이 아닌 특정인구집단을 대상으로 한 것이기 때문으로 보인다. 그러나 역학적 증거가 집단의 구성원인 개인(들)에 대하여 가치 있는 정보를 제공하지 못한다고 단정하기에는 이르다. 예컨대, 역학에서 산출하는 인과확률은 집단 내에서 무작위로 뽑아낸 환자의 질병 발생이 위험인자에 의해 발생하였을 확률을 나타내는데, 이는 집단 차원의 확률을 구성원인 개인의 확률로 전환하는 유용한 지표이므로 역학적 증거만으로도 인과관계의 개연성을 증명할 여지가 있다고 생각된다.

  • 오늘날 현대사회는 급변하는 사회 환경 속에서 물질 문명의 발달과 더불어 세계화, 정보화, 분권화 등의 과정에서 다양한 위험과 범죄에 노출되어 있다. 이러한 요인들은 치안환경에도 많은 영향을 미치고 있으며 이로 인한 범죄예방과 범죄발생 등 새로운 치안수요에 점차적으로 관심이 고조되고 있다. 사회의 안전을 담당하고 책임지는 주체에 대한 인식에 있어서 단순히 경찰을 비롯한 국가기관들의 책임에서 수요자 스스로 위험을 방지하고자 하는 방향으로의 전환적 책임 소재 역시 중요한 논제로 대두되어 왔다. 즉 민간이 주축이 되어 자신에게 발생될 수 있는 치안에 대한 책임을 스스로 지겠다는 적극적 의미의 관점으로 방향이 선회하고 있는데 그 이유는 치안과 관련한 모든 것을 경찰력에 의존하여 해결하는 것은 이미 한계에 도달하였다고 판단되는 상황에 이르렀기 때문이다. 따라서 이러한 사회의 변화를 예측하고 발생될수 있는 위험을 사전에 예방하려는 노력은 단순히 형사사법기관으로 대표되는 경찰 그리고 검찰의 노력에만 국한할 것이 아니라 민간 영역이 적극적으로 개입된 포괄적인 노력이 필요한 시점이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 우리나라에서는 경비업법을 통해 사경비 분야가 공경비와의 협력을 강화해 오고 있다. 한국사회에서 강하게 대두되고 있는 분야는 민간조사 분야(Private Investigation, Private Detective)이다. 공경비 영역에서의 업무 부담을 감소시키고, 민간조사 분야의 정책적 안정을 통하여 일정 부분 민간 조사활동이 현실화되어야 한다는 주장이 입법 활동을 통하여 여러 차례 제시되면서 민간조사제도의 도입 가능성에 대한 사회적 공감대가 서서히 고조되고 있다. 이러한 시점에 발맞추어 본 연구에서는 민간조사제도의 도입 방향에 대한 고찰을 위해 지금까지 국회를 중심으로 제시된 민간조사제도 도입에 대한 발의 안을 연혁별로 분석하고, 2012년과 2013년에 걸쳐 제19대 국회에서 발의된 최근 법안을 중심으로 비교 분석을 시도하였다. 이를 토대로 민간조사제도의 도입에 대한 주요 쟁점사항과 향후 도입 시 고려되어야할 사안들을 살펴보았다. 이러한 제언을 통해 민간조사제도의 보다 발전적인 정착을 위해 단독 법안으로의 도입 필요성을 다루었으며, 본 제도의 공익적 성격을 고려하여 법인으로의 제한적 운영 필요성에 대해서도 언급하였다. 그리고 무자격자의 과도한 양산을 막기 위한 해당 분야 종사자에 대한 심층 깊은 자격시험의 실시와 본 제도의 정확한 책임 소재를 정착하기 위한 명확한 소관 부서의 지정 필요성 등을 제시하였다.

  • The words which appeared in my theoretical study and work are image transformation to digital painting, simulation, heterologie and transfiguration, etc. Firstly, let's look into 'digital era' or 'new media era'. Nowadays, the image world including painting within the rapid social and cultural change, which is called as digital era, is having the dramatic change. Together with the development of scientific technology, large number of events which was deemed to be impossible is happening as real in image world Moreover, these changes in image world is greatly influencing to our life. The word which compresses this change of image world and shows is 'digital'. Digit, which means fingers in Latin, indicates separately changing signal, and to be more narrow, it indicates the continual signal of '0' and ' 1' in computer. The opposite word is 'analogue'. As analogue is the word meaning 'infer' or 'similarity', it indicates the signal or form which continuously changes along the series of time when it is compared to digital. Instead of analogue, digital is embossed as a major ruler along the whole area of our current culture. In whole culture and art area, and in whole generalscience, digital is appearing as it has the modernism and importance. The prefix, 'digital', e.g. digital media, digital culture, digital design, digital philosophy, etc, is treated as the synonym of modernism and something new. This advent of digital results the innovative change to the image world, creates the new beauty experience which we could not experience before, and forecasts the formation of advanced art and expansion of creative area. Various intellectual activities using computer is developing the whole world with making the infrastructure. Computer in painting work immediately accomplishes the idea of painters, takes part in simulation work, contingency such as abrupt reversal, extraction, twisting, shaking, obscureness, overlapping, etc, and timing to stimulate the creativity of painters, and provides digital formative language which enables new visual experience to the audience. When the change of digital era, the image appeared in my work is shown in 'transfiguration' like drawing. The word, 'transfiguration' does not indicate the completed and fixed real substance but indicate endlessly moving and floating shape. Thus, this concept is opposite to the substantial consideration, so that various concepts which is able to replace this in accordance with the similar cases are also exist such as change, deterioration, mutation, deformity of appearance and morphing which is frequently used in computer as a technical word. These concepts are not clearly classified, and variably and complicatedly related. Transfiguration basically means the denial of "objectivity' and '(continual) stagnation' or deviation from those. This phenomenon is appeared through the all art schools of art ever since the realism is denied in the 19th century. It is called as 'deformation' in case of expressionism, futurism, cubism, etc, in the beginning of the century, which its former indication is mostly preserved within the process of structural deviation and which has the realistic limit which should be preserved. On the contrary, dramatic transfiguration which has been showing in the modern era through surrealism is different in the point that dramatic transfiguration tends to show the deterioration and deviation rather than the preservation of indicated object. From this point, transfiguration coming out from morphing using computer deteriorates and hides the reality and furthermore, it replaces the 'reality'. Moreover, transfiguration is closely approached to the world of fake or 'imaginary' simulation world of Baudrillard. According to Baudrillard, the image hides and deteriorates the reality, and furthermore, expresses 'not existing' to 'imaginary' under the name of transfiguration. Certain reality, that is, image which is absent from the reality is created and overflowed, so that it finally replaces the reality. This is simulation as it is said by Baudrillard. In turn, Georges Bataille discusses about the image which is produced by digital technology in terms of heterologie. Image of heterologie is the visual signal which is established with the media. Image of media is to have the continuous characteristics of produce, extinction, and transformation, and its clear boundary between images becomes meaningless. The meaning of composition, excess, violation, etc of digital image is explained to heterological study or heteologie suggested as important meaning of Georges Bataille who is a heretic philosopher. As the form and image of mutation shows the shape in accordance with mechanical production, heterologie is introduced as very low materialism (or bas materialisme), in this theory. Heterologie as low materialism which is gradually changing is developing as a different concept and analysis because of the change of time in the late 20s century beside high or low meaning. Including my image, all images non-standardizes and transforms the code. However, reappearance and non-standardization of this code does not seem to be simple. The problem of transformation caused by transfiguration which appears in my digital drawing painting, simulation, heterologie, etc, are the continual problems. Moreover, the subject such as existence of human being, distance from the real life, politics and social problems are being extended to actual research and various expressing work. Especially, individual image world is established by digital painting transfiguration technique, and its change and review start to have the durability. The consciousness of observers who look at the image is changing the subject. Together with theoretical research, researchers are to establish the first step to approach to various image change of digital era painting through transfiguration technique using our realistic and historical image.

  • Measuring Information Technology(IT) organizations' activities have been limited to mainly measure financial indicators for a long time. However, according to the multifarious functions of Information System, a number of researches have been done for the new trends on measurement methodologies that come with financial measurement as well as new measurement methods. Especially, the researches on IT Balanced Scorecard(BSC), concept from BSC measuring IT activities have been done as well in recent years. BSC provides more advantages than only integration of non-financial measures in a performance measurement system. The core of BSC rests on the cause-and-effect relationships between measures to allow prediction of value chain performance measures to allow prediction of value chain performance measures, communication, and realization of the corporate strategy and incentive controlled actions. More recently, BSC proponents have focused on the need to tie measures together into a causal chain of performance, and to test the validity of these hypothesized effects to guide the development of strategy. Kaplan and Norton[2001] argue that one of the primary benefits of the balanced scorecard is its use in gauging the success of strategy. Norreklit[2000] insist that the cause-and-effect chain is central to the balanced scorecard. The cause-and-effect chain is also central to the IT BSC. However, prior researches on relationship between information system and enterprise strategies as well as connection between various IT performance measurement indicators are not so much studied. Ittner et al.[2003] report that 77% of all surveyed companies with an implemented BSC place no or only little interest on soundly modeled cause-and-effect relationships despite of the importance of cause-and-effect chains as an integral part of BSC. This shortcoming can be explained with one theoretical and one practical reason[Blumenberg and Hinz, 2006]. From a theoretical point of view, causalities within the BSC method and their application are only vaguely described by Kaplan and Norton. From a practical consideration, modeling corporate causalities is a complex task due to tedious data acquisition and following reliability maintenance. However, cause-and effect relationships are an essential part of BSCs because they differentiate performance measurement systems like BSCs from simple key performance indicator(KPI) lists. KPI lists present an ad-hoc collection of measures to managers but do not allow for a comprehensive view on corporate performance. Instead, performance measurement system like BSCs tries to model the relationships of the underlying value chain in cause-and-effect relationships. Therefore, to overcome the deficiencies of causal modeling in IT BSC, sound and robust causal modeling approaches are required in theory as well as in practice for offering a solution. The propose of this study is to suggest critical success factors(CSFs) and KPIs for measuring performance for IT organizations and empirically validate the casual relationships between those CSFs. For this purpose, we define four perspectives of BSC for IT organizations according to Van Grembergen's study[2000] as follows. The Future Orientation perspective represents the human and technology resources needed by IT to deliver its services. The Operational Excellence perspective represents the IT processes employed to develop and deliver the applications. The User Orientation perspective represents the user evaluation of IT. The Business Contribution perspective captures the business value of the IT investments. Each of these perspectives has to be translated into corresponding metrics and measures that assess the current situations. This study suggests 12 CSFs for IT BSC based on the previous IT BSC's studies and COBIT 4.1. These CSFs consist of 51 KPIs. We defines the cause-and-effect relationships among BSC CSFs for IT Organizations as follows. The Future Orientation perspective will have positive effects on the Operational Excellence perspective. Then the Operational Excellence perspective will have positive effects on the User Orientation perspective. Finally, the User Orientation perspective will have positive effects on the Business Contribution perspective. This research tests the validity of these hypothesized casual effects and the sub-hypothesized causal relationships. For the purpose, we used the Partial Least Squares approach to Structural Equation Modeling(or PLS Path Modeling) for analyzing multiple IT BSC CSFs. The PLS path modeling has special abilities that make it more appropriate than other techniques, such as multiple regression and LISREL, when analyzing small sample sizes. Recently the use of PLS path modeling has been gaining interests and use among IS researchers in recent years because of its ability to model latent constructs under conditions of nonormality and with small to medium sample sizes(Chin et al., 2003). The empirical results of our study using PLS path modeling show that the casual effects in IT BSC significantly exist partially in our hypotheses.
