  • In the case of international trade, the role of 3PL (third-party logistics) providers, in recent years, has drawn more attention. At the same time, computers have become faster, cheaper, and more widely available. Thus. information systems have become commonplace to freight forwarders and the increased efficiencies to be gained in improving logistics has pushed managers to explorer a number of new ideas, technologies and methods of information management and automation. However, many companies are encountering difficulties to choose an information system flexible and satisfying all needs carrying on business. In this study RIA (rich internet application) technology based on Java Swing was introduced to the .freight forwarder information systems to provide richer user interfaces and a flexible web-based application. Also considered giving stakeholders in charge of logistics especially in SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) cost-effective and performance-effective solutions with good accessibility of internet for smooth operations of their businesses.

  • Purpose - This article aims to examine whether the stock issuance of firms in the retail industry follows Myers' (1984) pecking order theory, which is based on information asymmetry. According to the pecking order model, firms have a sequence of financing decisions, of which the first choice is to use retained earnings, the second one is to get into safe debt, the next involves risky debt, and the last involves finance with outside equity. Since the 2000s, the polarization of the LEs (Large enterprises) and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) arose in the retail industry. The LEs exhibited an improvement in growth and profitability, whereas SMEs had a tendency to degenerate. This study contributes to corroborating the features of financing decisions in the retail industry distinguished from the other industries. Research design, data, and methodology - This study considers the stocks listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets from 1991 to 2013, and is more concentrated on the stocks in the retail industry. The data were collected from the financial information company, WISEfn. The empirical analysis is conducted by employing two measures of net equity issues (and), which were introduced in Fama and French (2005), and can be calculated from firms' accounting information. All variables are generated as the aggregate value of the numerator divided by aggregate assets, which, in effect, treats the entire sample as a single firm. Substantially, the financing decisions of the firms were analyzed by examining how often and under what circumstances firms issue and repurchase equity. Then, this study compares the features of the retail industry with those of the other industries. Results - The proportion of sample firms that show annual net stock issues reaching the level of the year's average was 54.33% for the 1990s, and fell to 39.93% per year for the 2000s. In detail, the fraction of the small firms actually increases from 45.08% to 51.04%, whereas that of large firms shows a dramatic decline from 58.94% to 24.76%. Considering the fact that the large firms' rapid increase in growth after the 2000s may lead to an increase in equity issues, this result is rather surprising. Meanwhile, net stock repurchases of assets are considerably disproportionate between the large (-50.11%) and the small firms (-15.66%) for the 2000s. Conclusions - Stock issuance of retail firms is not in line with the traditional seasoned equity offering based on information asymmetry. The net stock issuance of the small firms in the retail industry can be interpreted as part of an effort to reorganize business and solicit new investment to resolve degenerating business performance. For large firms, on the other hand, the net repurchase can be regarded as part of an effort to rearrange business for efficiency and amplifying synergy across business sections through spin-off. These results can help the government establish a support policy on retail industry according to size.

  • 정보통신(ICT)의 발달은 제조업에 있어 큰 변화를 가져왔으며 제조공정에는 사물인터넷, 증강현실, 빅데이터와 같은 최신 정보기술이 적용되어 스마트공장이라는 이름으로 진화하고 있다. 이에 미국, 독일, 일본 등 선진국들은 전기전자, 자동차, 기계 등의 제조업에서 스마트공장을 활발히 도입함에 따라 기존의 제조기업들의 생산품질을 높이고, 생산 환경은 유연한 체제로 변화시키면서 미래 제조업을 앞당기고 있다. 이러한 변화는 국내 제조업에까지 영향을 미치게 되었으며 대기업 중심으로 스마트공장이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 중소기업들은 기술적, 재무적 어려움으로 인해 스마트공장을 적극적으로 도입하고 있지 못하다. 이같은 배경 속에서 본 논문은 스마트공장의 표준화가 중소기업들의 스마트공장의 활용에 큰 기여를 할 것으로 전제하고 우리나라 중소기업들의 스마트공장의 표준화 전략 및 확산 방안을 도출하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 이론분석을 통하여 스마트공장의 확산에 영향을 미치는 요소를 기술적 요인, 조직적 요인, 산업적 요인, 정책적 요인으로 도출 분류하고 사례분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 대상은 우리나라 제조업의 핵심이 되고 있는 뿌리산업이며, 특히 금형분야의 두 기업을 대상으로 실시하였다. 이를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 향후 뿌리산업 중소기업들에게 스마트공장 구축을 위한 표준화 전략 4가지, 즉 국제 표준화, 정부주도 표준화, 기업주도 표준화, 비표준화 추진 등을 도출 및 제안하였다.

  • 애플리케이션 아웃소싱의 새로운 형태로 등장하고 있는 ASP 모델은 정보시스템을 자체적으로 개발하여 운영할 인력과 전문성이 부족한 중소기업에 적합하다. 그러나 ASP 모델에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 서비스품질은 ASP 핵심성공요인 가운데 하나로 거론되고 있지만 아직 ASP 서비스 품질을 측정하기 위한 타당한 도구가 개발되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마케팅 분야에서 서비스품질을 측정하기 위한 도구로 개발된 SERVQUAL을 응용하여 ASP 서비스 품질 측정 모델을 개발하여 실증분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 표본은 "소기업 네트워크화 사업"에 참여하고 있는 소기업 가운데 무작위로 300개 기업을 선정하여 방문조사를 통해 240개의 설문지를 수거했다. 그리고 이러한 조사자료를 분석한 결과 신뢰성과 유형성은 다른 어떤 서비스품질 구성요인보다도 사용자 개인성과 및 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • The focus of this study is to investigate the mediating role of online market orientation on information capital readiness-business performance relationship. The construct of information capital readiness is rarely researched. The readiness here refers to the availability of information capital needed to support strategy execution. As quantitative research, this study employs the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses. Data was collected using questionnaires from the owners/managers of the micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the East Java Province, Indonesia. As many as 433 respondents had participated. The result indicates that information capital readiness directly and positively affects business performance. Further analysis reveals that online market orientation partially mediates information capital readiness-business performance relationship. In conclusion, this study suggests that the owners/managers of the MSMEs should improve their information capital readiness to support online market orientation strategy so that it can improve their business performance. This is the first study that brings together the issues of information capital readiness and online market orientation as the antecedents of business performance in the Indonesian MSMEs research setting. The mediating role of online market orientation is rarely explored in previous studies.

  • Investigations on information security factors re- main elusive at small and medium enterprises (SMEs), es- specially for custom-made software solutions. This article aims to investigate, classify, adopt factors from recent literature addressing information security resources. SMEs al- ready have information security in place, but they are not easy to adopt through the negotiation processes between the in-house software development companies and custom-made software clients at SMEs. This article proposes a strategic framework for implementing the process of adoption of the information security factors at SMEs after conducting a systematic snapshot approach for investigating and classifying the resources. The systematic snapshot was conducted using a search strategy with inclusion and exclusion criteria to retain 128 final reviewed papers from a large number of papers within the period of 2001-2022. These papers were analyzed based on a classification schema including management, organizational, development, and environmental categories in software development lifecycle (SDLC) phases in order to define new security factors. The reviewed articles addressed research gaps, trends, and common covered evidence-based decisions based on the findings of the systematic mapping. Hence, this paper boosts the broader cooperation between in-house software development companies and their clients to elicit, customize, and adopt the factors based on clients' demands.

  • Healthcare lifelog, a personal record relating to disease treatment and healthcare, plays an important role in healthcare paradigm shifts in which medical and information technology converge. Healthcare services based on various healthcare lifelogs are being launched domestically by both large corporations and small and medium enterprises, however, they are being built on an individual platform that is dependent on each company. Therefore, the terms of lifelog data are different as well as the measurement specifications are not uniform. This study proposes a reference model for minimum common data required for sharing and utilization of healthcare lifelog. Literature study and expert survey derived 3 domain, 17 essential items, and 51 sub-items. The model provides definition, measurement data format, measurement method, and precautions for each detailed measurement item, and provides necessary guidelines for data and service design and construction for healthcare service. This study has its significance as a basic research supporting the activation of ecosystem by ensuring interoperability of data between heterogeneous healthcare devices linked to digital healthcare platform.
