  • Background: It has been suggested that engaging technology can empower individuals to be more proactive about their health and reduce their health risks. The aim of the present intervention was to study the effects of technology-aided testing and feedback on physical activity and biological age of employees in a middle-sized enterprise. Methods: In all, 121 employees (mean age $42{\pm}10$ years) participated in the 12-month three-arm cluster randomized trial. The fitness measurement process (Body Age) determined the participants' biological age in years. Physical activity was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form. Results: Physical activity did not change during the intervention. Biological age (better fitness) improved in all groups statistically significantly (p < 0.001), but with no interaction effects. The mean changes (years) in the groups were -2.20 for the controls, e2.83 for the group receiving their biological age and feedback, and -2.31 for the group receiving their biological age, feedback, and a training computer. Conclusion: Technology-aided testing with feedback does not seem to change the amount of physical activity but may enhance physical fitness measured by biological age.

  • Most of eco-friendly agrifood processing enterprises in Korean rural area are small and medium-sized business. For this reason, it's hard for eco-friendly agrifood processing enterprises to neither analyze business performance for efficient business management nor establish their own business plan for rational decision-making. Therefore it's necessary to design effective mathematical programming model and to make practical application which can support rational management decision-making ensuring the stable business activity of eco-friendly agrifood processing enterprises. Accordingly this paper focuses on the designing and its application of multi-objective mathematical programming model using goal programming to support rational decision-making of eco-friendly agrifood processing enterprise. Hansalimanseongmachum Food Inc. which runs soy bean processing business making tofu based on regional-based soybean farms around Anseong City will be the specific case to apply multi-objective mathematical programming model in practice. And it will suggest measures to support rational management decision-making of other eco-friendly agrifood processing enterprises.

  • 승계에 대한 기존의 연구는 승계가 원활하게 이뤄지기 위한 정책이나 제도 등에 치중하거나 가족기업에 초점을 맞춰 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 직계가족에 의한 승계나 정부의 정책보다는 중소기업 승계제도의 실질적인 활용의 효과를 분석하고자 한다. 또한 중소기업 승계계획의 활용정도와 조직성과의 관계를 보다 정확하게 파악하기 위해 이러한 관계에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 상황적인 요인들을 밝히고자 한다. 이를 위해 인적자본기업패널 중소기업 172개의 기업자료를 분석한 결과, 중소기업의 승계 계획이 실질적으로 활용될수록 조직성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 중소기업에서 승계 계획에 대한 정보를 외부에 공개하는 것은 암묵지 이전 및 기업에 대한 긍정적인 인상형성 등으로 조직성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 협력적 노사관계는 승계 계획의 활용정도와 조직성과의 긍정적 관계를 강화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 노사관계가 협력적일수록 노사 간 신뢰를 바탕으로 승계 계획의 과정에서 후계자가 정당성을 확보할 수 있으므로 승계 계획의 활용이 조직성과에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 더 강화시킨 것으로 판단된다.

  • The "New Korean Wave" (Shin Hallyu) phenomenon, which is represented by the global popularity of BTS and director Bong Joon-ho's film "Parasite," is making the world excited. The influence of the Korean Wave is not only on politics, society, and culture, but it also has considerable economic ripple effects. We applied individual in-depth interviews with seven media and marketing experts in China to assess the changes in the impact of Korean cultural content (i.e., Hallyu content) and examine the possibility of marketing for Korean small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) products using Hallyu content. Considering its massive market potential, China is still an attractive target for Korean companies and is of even greater importance to SMEs, which are highly dependent on exports and lacking marketing budgets as well as a professional workforce. Korean businesses and the economy at large would get a real boost if they could penetrate the Chinese market by utilizing the strength of Hallyu content. Based on the results of the in-depth interviews, the conclusion of our study suggests the direction of advertising strategy on how Korean products can attract the minds of Chinese consumers by utilizing the Shin Hallyu. This research is a practical study that diagnoses the reality of the Korean Wave in China objectively and has excellent practical implications as it proposes methods of how SMEs should use Hallyu for their marketing strategies.

  • In the Knowledge-based Economic Era, all of the enterprises are facing global competitive pressure. The activities of knowledge accessing, codifying, and application will obviously become the main inner function on enterprise operation. Knowledge will be the primary competitive advantage; therefore, he who wants to hold the competitive advantage should do the knowledge management (KM) very well. In this study, we construct the research dimensions and variances by the successful factors of KM, which had been practiced very well by big enterprises inside and outside our country, and which was recommended by the related scholars. In order to approach the differences between big enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) towards implementing KM, this study takes the way of questionnaire investigation to do empirical analysis and to construct the model of KM by path analysis. The study found out when implementing KM, SMEs should highlight 'leadership,' 'library-architecture,' and 'corporate culture' these three aspects, while 'information technology' and 'performance evaluation' these two aspects show no remarkable influence. It shows that he who wants to construct KM might not too overweight on information technology to build the KM system. Therefore, we suggest when implementing KM, enterprises should reinforce the corporate culture by sharing, organized KM process, learning environment for all employees, and highly authorization by top managers in order to reach the expectant success of KM. The result of this study offers practical thinking directions to reach the expectant success for the policy makers in SMEs, who are accessing to or evaluating to implement KM.

  • This study aims to verify the relationship between overseas activities and performance of Korea's SMEs during the last financial crisis. Whether overseas activity performance of enterprises differed was determined based on characteristic variables, including the degree of concentration on R&D and marketing. This study also examined how SMEs' international transactions and their performance differed based on internal variable such as the level of stock holding and firm size. This study developed a model for analyzing the relationship between the level of internationalization and performance of Koran SMEs listed in the KOSDAQ. We used firm-level data, including annual reports and various data sources such as the KISVALUE program. To smooth annual fluctuations in accounting data, we used a three-year average from 2006 to 2009 for each variable in the study. The results showed that proactive overseas activities ultimately had a positive effect on an enterprise's performance, even though it initially had a negative effect. Therefore, enterprises should focus their capacity on R&D and marketing environment. Although numerous studies have focused on the relationship between overseas activities and performance of enterprises, the present study analyzed whether enterprises should continuously engage in overseas activities and what capacities they should strengthen during a global economic recession.

  • 본 연구는 중소벤처기업무역이익에 관한 실증적 분석을 위하여 수행되었다. 그간 무역후생에 대한 연구들이 우리나라 전체 기업규모를 대상으로 수행되었거나, 대표적 기업(평균)을 중심으로 이루어졌으나, 본 연구에서는 중소벤처기업과 대기업을 분리하여 파레토 및 대수 정규기업규모분포에 대한 결정모수를 추정하고, 이 자료를 바탕으로 무역이익을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같이 요약된다. 첫째, 기업규모의 이질성이 클수록 무역후생이 크게 나타났다. 이 결과는 중소벤처기업 및 대기업의 경우에도 동일하게 나타났다. 무역이익은 파레토규모분포를 가정할 경우 대수정규분포를 가정한 경우보다 압도적으로 크게 나타났다. 둘째, 대기업의 경우가 중소벤처기업의 경우보다 무역후생이 크게 나타났다. 이 분석결과는 대기업규모분포가 중소벤처기업규모분포보다 이질성이 더 크기 때문에 나타난 결과이다. 셋째, 기업규모분포가 동질적이라고 가정할 경우에 무역후생의 차이가 존재하지 않았다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 정책적 시사점으로 무역후생증대의 관점에서 기업규모이질성은 매우 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 중장기적으로 중소벤처기업의 다양성을 증대시키는 중소벤처기업정책이 필요한 이유이다.
