Even after significant changes in the financial market due to the financial crisis the corporate debt markets have seen created turmoil caused such as by Daewoo, Hyundai, and credit card companies in the financial system. These lagging improvements of corporate debt markets are mainly due to inadequate market infrastructure. Specifically, the credit rating agencies have not been successful in providing proper and timely information on the loan repayment abilities of debtors. This study analyzes past performance of credit rating agencies in Korea and tries to develop policy implications to improve the role of credit rating agencies based on the recent discussions on credit rating agencies by academics and the SEC. In addition, this study focuses on unique operation environments of Korean credit rating agencies, which have kept credit rating agencies from providing fair, timely, and useful information. To warrant proper operation of credit rating agencies, it is essential to cope with unique problems in Korean credit rating agencies. We classify the unique problems of Korean credit rating agencies into ownership and governance structure, conflict of interests due to ancillary fee-based business, legal recognition of credit rating in the court, and code of conduct problem, etc. and propose policy directions to improve the quality and credibility of credit ratings.

With the recent development of manufacturing technology and the diversification of consumer needs, not only the process and quality control of production have become more complicated but also the kinds of information that manufacturing facilities provide the user about process have been diversified. Therefore the importance of big data analysis also has been raised. However, most small and medium enterprises (SMEs) lack the systematic infrastructure of big data management and analysis. In particular, due to the nature of domestic manufacturing companies that rely on foreign manufacturers for most of their manufacturing facilities, the need for their own data analysis and manufacturing support applications is increasing and research has been conducted in Korea. This study proposes integrated analysis platform for process and quality analysis, considering manufacturing big data database (DB) and data characteristics. The platform is implemented in two versions, Web and C/S, to enhance accessibility which perform template based quality analysis and real-time monitoring. The user can upload data from their local PC or DB and run analysis by combining single analysis module in template in a way they want since the platform is not optimized for a particular manufacturing process. Also Java and R are used as the development language for ease of system supplementation. It is expected that the platform will be available at a low price and evolve the ability of quality analysis in SMEs.

As Small and Medium Enterprises(SMEs)' dependency on major companies is increasing every day, the importance of the IT collaboration between those is being highlighted more than ever. However, the information level of the SMEs is much inferior and lack of capital, low level of management and the problem of the informatization are being raised. Therefore, the methods to improve the level of the infrastructure for the informatization need to be performed based on the current status of the SMEs. In this paper, we proposed the ways to manage key performance indicators(KPI) of each business process by inducing and prioritizing the KPIs which has higher accomplishment compared to its management rate. As the result of the present study reflects the priorities of KPIs, it may contribute to the accomplishment of the efficient informatization that considers the enterprise's size.

This study is about the drunken drivers' accident patterns and behavior and aims at providing basic data for developing measures to secure safety against accidents by drunken drivers and programs to cultivate good drinking habits. For this purpose, this study conducted a questionnaire of 800 persons over 20 years of age in the selected 20 companies with more than 30 employees in the 4 regions(Daegu, Masan, Changwon, and Jinhae) and analysed the 653 sheets except invalid ones among the returned 673 survey sheets in total(return rate 84.13%), and the researcher conducted a man-to-man interview with each subject from June 20th to July 31st 2006. The result are as the following. As the experience of causing an accident by drinking, the 79.1% of them had the experience, and in case of the subjects with excessive drinking over 4 times a year, the rate of the accident by drinking showed as high as 90.5%. As the patterns of accidents, in male subjects, violence(38.5%) and traffic accidents(37.1%) showed high, while in the female, hurts from falls and fall accidents(40.2%) were found be high. In case of the traffic accidents among the accidents by drinking, the rate of causing serious damage to the life was found to be 89.3%, so it showed that the traffic accidents caused by drinking were influencing on the life much. In conclusion, the drinking problem may be controlled by each individual's will, but without change of social environment and system around people, the problem can not be eradicated. Therefore there should be social infrastructure which can help people to actively live their life with exercises and hobbies, and in order to prevent the reoccurrence of a drink accident, and social structure in which there are education programs for drink accident causers and one can change the perception about drinking culture, should be formed.

This study aims to evaluate the industrial cluster policy implemented in Korea during the last decade or so, examine whether it can still be a valid policy measure in the creative economy regime, and propose policy directions for the future. It is evaluated that the cluster policy has contributed to increasing productivity by improving networks between companies, universities and research centers and thus strengthening innovation infrastructure. The policy, however, by its characteristics of government-domination, failed to develop open-ended and flexible spontaneous clusters. Industrial clusters have the capability to contribute to the virtuous circle of creative economy by enhancing creativity and innovativeness, and subsequently by increasing value-added. In order to maximize these positive effects, a few suggestions are made, including being faithful to the very nature of clusters, e.g. geographical proximity and connectedness, intending clusters with creativity well maintained, orienting toward multi-scalar clusters with a mixture of local and global perspectives, and matching regional and industrial policies with regards to clusters.

With the advent of smart age, the concern on smart work has gradually increased in solving our social problems including low birth, aging, low productivity and green growth with low carbon as well as encouraging the balance between work and life. Especially, the competitiveness among companies and countries to preoccupy the advanced telepresence technologies and lead the international standardization based on them have increased more than ever before. But, in our country due to the lack of core technology infrastructure and barrier to current organizational culture, R&D achievement and promotion of deployment on telepresence have not been sufficient. Therefore, It is essential to make standardization strategy and do systematic implementation for core technology which leads the telepresence market in order to fit such an environment and introduce smart work as soon as possible. Accordingly, this paper suggests the direction of standardization and implementation on telepresence for our country to lead telepresence technology and standardization through analysing the current introducing situation and technology/standardization trend.

Service-Oriented Architecture(SOA) is improving rapidly in IT Environment. Enterprise companies interest in implementation infrastructure based on SOA to adapt quick changes of large and complex distributed environment. SOA is a component model that inter-relates the different functional units of an application, called services, through interfaces and contacts between theses services. In this paper, we studied the concept of the relationship between SOA and standard web service core and therefore, we model the web service based on SOA. We implemented the application and business service architecture using web service that include the XML and SOAP. We confirmed that how the each SOA characters like interoperability, reusability, scalability and flexible business process adapted to web service and present a web service modeling that is maintained the neutrality using loose service coupling through the method of service model process and web service architecture designing methodology based on SOA.
