  • The foodservice industry is changing more and more from on-site foodservice management to contract foodservice management. However there are differences according to the level of management and operation of contract foodservice management company (CFMC). The necessity of certification on CFMC is increasing to enable fair discrimination of CFMC among most clients that want to contract with CFMC. This study was performed to identify the foodservice operation evaluation model's criteria items for certifying CFMC. The analysis research methods included literature review, content analysis, individual interview, Delphi technique, and brain storming. First, the following infrastructure items were prepared in the contractor's viewpoint: procurement, transparency of operation, menu development and operation system, nutrition service system, professional employee education, sanitation andsafety management system, customer satisfaction system, facility system, management information system (MIS), business and economics. Second, the evaluation criteria required by the contractor on the client's view point was similar to school foodservice, hospitalfoodservice, and business andindustry foodservice except extraordinary items of field. Third, evaluation criteria and detail categories and items were identified such as financial focus, customer focus, process focus, human focus, and renewal and development by grafting on intellectual capital evaluation methodology for CFMC.

  • The emergence of the metaverse, a complex three-dimensional virtual environment, has led to significant changes in the intellectual property (IP) landscape. This paper examines the challenges and legal intricacies of IP within the virtual realm, focusing on the unprecedented nature of these disputes and on the inadequacies of traditional jurisdiction methods. Drawing from international frameworks, including the International Law Association's Guidelines and WIPO's guides, the study critically explores arbitration as an alternate approach to metaverse IP disputes, analyzing its complexities and applicability. The paper further delves into challenges arising from diverse protection laws that pertain to the global nature of the metaverse, including the nuances of various digital assets like NFTs. By assessing jurisdictional difficulties, the paper addresses the adoption of decentralized justice platforms, and examines the role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, this paper presents a comprehensive view of the evolving virtual legal field. It suggests that while innovative methods are emerging, traditional arbitration will likely remain the preferred choice for complex disputes, offering a balance of speed, cost-effectiveness, and legal robustness within the virtual world.

  • New knowledge is created through the dynamic interaction of knowledge that depends largely on a social context within the organization. Social processes influence the nature of knowledge and learning. This paper is rooted in the concept of social capital. Social capital theory emphasizes the importance of social relationship. Using social capital theory, this paper suggests three factors that must be satisfied for the development of knowledge combinative capability. The first factor is that the opportunity exists to make the exchange or combination of knowledge. The second factor is that people is motivated for the creation of new knowledge. The third factor is that people must share the common knowledge. This paper examines the change case of KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office). This case provides evidence that the three factors can develop social relationship, and build knowledge combinative capability. The man finding from this research is that social factors play an important part in the creation of knowledge, and processes of knowledge exchange and combination heavily rely upon social patterns, practices and processes in ways which emphasize the value and importance of collective action and knowledge sharing. This research may have several implications for the development of the knowledge creation mechanisms.

  • This study aims to investigate human capital in Korea's online game industry (as the representative of IT-based creative services) under the knowledge-based economy paradigm. In recognition of the importance of intellectual capital closely intertwined with human capital and the economic potential of the online game industry, Korean government has begun to show active support. In this context, this study measures the human capital efficiency in online game business by using non-parametric analysis (Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA). Most previous studies (human capital theory, knowledge based economy theory, economic growth theory) have proved that human capital has a very positive effect on sustainable growth of corporate management and wealth of nations. As such, this paper uses the DEA to obtain the efficiency of the human capital (scale, investment, education, compensation). The results of this study will suggest strategic implications on maximizing the human capital in online game corporations and provide a reference frame for government policies.

  • In this paper, we investigate the relationship between a company's Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio strength and its success in obtaining venture funding in the Korean digital media & entertainment industry. Using data from 685 Korean digital media & entertainment companies registered in Crunchbase, a global database provider of venture funding information, we found that a strong IP portfolio is positively associated with funding success. Furthermore, our study revealed that the effect of IP portfolio strength on funding success is stronger for younger companies, suggesting that IP portfolio is more critical for firms that have less reputation and track record.

  • This study analyzes the innovation performance of venture firms according to existence of venture capital investment, and according to type and ownership of venture capital. Venture firms are IPO firms that are registered on KOSDAQ between the year 2000 and 2016. They are categorized as corporate venture capital-backed firms (CVC) and independent venture capital-backed firms (IVC). Using patent data from KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office), we employ the number of patents and the citations per patent as the measurement of the innovation output. We find the positive association between the venture capital-backed firms and the number of patents before going public. Corporate venture capital-backed firms are positively associated with the number of patents before and after IPO. However, we do not find strong evidence between the number of citations and the existence of venture capital investment or the type of venture capital. Lastly, we provide an inverse U-shaped relationship between the innovation performance and venture capital's ownership. In other words, the innovation output, both the number of patents and the number of citations, gradually increases as the venture capitalist's ownership increases, but also shows a decrease pattern, suggesting that the venture capitalist's ownership does not only spur the innovation but also gives a negative effect on venture firm's innovation output such as excessive intervention. Overall, we reveal that the most important factor for the innovation performance is not the existence of venture capital investment or the type of venture capital, but the ownership of the venture capitalist.

  • The object of this study is to present a strategy against technology protectionism of advanced countries focusing on international cooperation policy of KIPO and infringement of overseas intellectual property rights on the notion that a policy performed without a long-term plan will not lead to industrial growth in the long run. There is a high possibility that aggressive patent policy and black box strategy of Japanese enterprise can be a burden to Korean enterprises. Thus, a policy should be established against the technology protectionism. The policy can be based on a strategy about international cooperation policy of KIPO and strategy against infringement of overseas intellectual property rights. Of course, collaboration and cooperation will be activated among the advanced countries including technical cooperation. However, a systematic strategy of intellectual property rights should be focused on international cooperation and countermeasure against infringement of overseas intellectual property rights because national interest takes precedence over any other interest especially in case of strategically owing industry. A strategy against technology protectionism of advanced countries is as follows. A strategy is required to cope with infringement of overseas intellectual property rights. Korean government has to strengthen the function of overseas intellectual property rights protection center, strengthen boundary restriction of infringement goods, promote international dispute study, train international dispute specialist, construct confidence as social capital etc. Enterprises have to maintain no Patent no Future policy, specialize on application and countermeasure against infringement dispute, participate for formation and standardization of patent pool, strive for specialization regarding technical transfer and license management.
