IT is the key enabler of digital economy. Appropriate usage of IT can provide a strategic competitive advantage to a firm in a dynamic competitive environment. However, there has been a continuing debate on whether IT can actually enhance the productivity of firms. This concept is called IT productivity paradox. In this study, we analyzed the causality among appropriate indicators to demonstrate the real impact of IT on productivity. The 12,100 sample data from 2011 were used for analysis. As expected, the results indicated that mobile device usage, website adoption, e-commerce, open source, cloud computing, and green computing positively influence IT productivity. This unprecedented large-scale analysis can provide clarification regarding the ambiguous causal mechanism between IT usage and productivity.

This study determines whether or not firms can achieve high productivity growth through external technology acquisition. It also identifies the key factors affecting adopting firms' productivity growth by employing the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) methodology, which features computational ease, low data dependency, and decomposition of productivity growth into technical efficiency change and technical change. Results showed that the effects of productivity growth arising from technology transfer became stronger over time. Moreover, patent transfer guaranteed firms' productivity growth, but no evidence was found that factors such as age and size could increase productivity. Finally, cultural similarity could be another factor conditioning the effectiveness of technology transfer in the productivity of adopting firms.

본 논문은 한국 정보통신산업의 생산성 변화를 분석하고 시사점을 도출한다. 분석방법은 11개의 한국 정보통신산업의 횡단면자료와 8개년의 시계열 데이터를 이용한 패널분석이다. 분석 결과로 전 기간에 걸쳐서 정보통신산업의 노동생산성과 자본생산성, 그리고 총요소생산성은 정(+)의 부호를 나타냈다. 정보통신산업 생산성의 변화는 먼저 총요소생산성은 2008년 이후 감소한 것으로 나타나 기술수준과 경영수준의 향상이 없었던 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 노동생산성은 증가했지만 자본생산성은 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 자본생산성의 감소가 폭이 상대적으로 크다. 이러한 결과는 그동안 한국경제의 주력산업으로서 정보통신산업에 대한 양적투자의 증가에 의한 성장에도 불구하고 생산성이 개선되지 못하여 정보통신산업의 근본적인 경쟁력의 향상이 이루어지지 않았음을 의미한다.

Productivity of public organizations was far older due to issue more difficult to measure than private organizations. Unlike the private sector, the public sector is a diverse and sometimes conflicting objectives (efficiency, effectiveness, equity, democracy, etc.) exist, it is difficult to measure productivity in a single index. Many departments of government is intricately interrelated and sometimes produced by the joint efforts, it is difficult to allocate performance, incentives and accountability to among departments. And there is the difficulty of collecting data on the productivity indicators of public organizations. Despite these difficulties, we developed a productivity index system and measuring method to systematically introduce the concept of productivity in the local administration. In this paper, the productivity and the productivity index measurement practices of local governments conducted annually from 2011 on was deep into research. First, the report found examples of the governments of the developed countries, productivity measurement, then the way MOPAS(Ministry of Public Administration and Security) measure productivity index of local governments, success factors, the implications were in-depth analysis. Finally, in order to enhance productivity and competitiveness municipalities studied ways to take advantage of the productivity index.

Researchers have different views on impact of information system use on productivity. The differences are fueled by 'the productivity paradox' insisted by Brynjofsson(1993). This paper intend to quantitate impacts of information system and to test the productivity paradox of using the information system. Restricted Maximumlikelihood Estimation(RMLE) method is applied on data from 81 farms adopting Pigplan system. The results find positive productivity improvement with information systems in swine farm. Adopting Pigplan system increases 0.52 in PSY(pigs per sow per year) and 0.087 in sow turnover. When it comes to region and farm size, region has impact on both PSY and sow turnover, while farm size does not. This result infers that local cooperatives, regardless of farm size, differentiate the impacts of the information system, implying that the ability to utilize information systems should be improved in organizational level.

The information and communication technology (ICT) value creation process is inherently unobservable. In addition to the direct effect of ICT on productivity, some information or knowledge can create value through other knowledge activities. In this paper, we study the impact of ICT on productivity through R&D. We tested the mediating effect of R&D between ICT and productivity using panel data from 47 US industries from 1987 to 2013 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The results show that R&D partially mediates ICT and productivity. That is, ICT directly increases productivity, and some of its effects can be realized through R&D. Recipients who acquire knowledge through ICT have to interpret codified ideas and apply them to practice. The increased absorptive capacity that can be developed through R&D improves interpretation ability, allowing employees to share more complex ideas. Thus, ICT helps people to effectively communicate, but some information and knowledge can be realized and applied through R&D knowledge activities. This is the first study empirically examining the process of ICT value creation through R&D. It also provides practical guidelines for knowledge management, such as making decisions about ICT and R&D investments that are better done concurrently rather than individually to maximize their impact on productivity.

본 논문은 생산성 수준과 생산성 성장에 대한 노동조합의 효과를 분석한 연구문헌에서의 이론과 실증 연구결과들을 조사 분석한 것이다. 노동조합과 생산성 수준 및 생산성 성장의 관계에 대한 이론과 연구결과들이 다양하기 때문에 노동조합이 생산성에 미치는 효과의 방향이나 크기에 대해서는 결론적으로 단언하기는 어렵고, 결국 적절한 모형과 자료를 가지고 실증분석을 해봐야 알 수 있는 문제이다.

Design productivity can't be easily measured since there are so many different design productivity factors but such a few meaningful design product units. It's very difficult to evaluate the performance of design activities. Performance measures are not defined easily and are not measured correctly in many cases. So, in this paper the value added productivity is used to measure and analyze design productivity. Some issues are analysed to assess real productivity level of Korean service industry. And then we propose a few ways to Improve design productivity including the use of scientific approach at design processes and the change of the industry structure. It seems that the higher the level of IT(Information Technology) usage at a design industry is, the higher the design productivity is. Further research will be needed to investigate scientific approaches to increase design productivity.

This paper represents an exploratory effort to test empirically the contingent relationships between the contextual variables, such as user task characteristics and personality, and the information characteristics of Accounting Information Systems (AIS), and to prove the effects of influence factors on the increase of personal office productivity. In this study, it was suggested that personal office productivity is influenced by the fit between the contextual variables and the information dimensions of ALS. It was also proved that influence factors have a positive effect on the increase of personal office productivity.

The purpose of this study is primarily to analyse empirically the productivity effects of worker participation in capital by Korean employee stock ownership plan that had taken newly effect on and after January 1,2002, and secondarily to examine the impact of unionization on productivity. The analysis data are those of 150 firms that listed or registered on the stock market, and introduced ESOP. The result of this study can be summarized as follows. First, the worker participation in capitia have significantly a positive effect on productivity, but the magnitude of those effects vary according to estimation models and sectors. The elasticity of stock share owned by employees on productivity is from 0.03 to 0.24. Second, there is no unitary relationship between unionization and productivity. The coefficients of union dummy variable are positive or negative according to models and sectors as well as insignificant.
