Net present value (NPV) and return on investment (ROI) are commonly used to evaluate investment in new technologies. Sometimes, however, measuring the value of investment in new IT becomes very difficult due to its wide scope of application coupled with embedded options in its adoption. Therefore, comprehensive but easily understandable methodologies are needed to solve the complicated problems resulting from the complexity of new technologies. This paper employs a real option analysis to evaluate RFID adoption in the supply chain. Real options analysis should be a better way to evaluate a disruptive technology like RFID.

Investments in new technologies have grown significantly in size, and science and technology have a large and complex impact on society at large. With people's great interest in technology, the government has the duty to accurately assess the influence of new technologies on society to facilitate their acceptance in society. For this purpose, technology impact assessment should be performed to facilitate a social consensus. There has been research on the initial methods of technology assessment for 50 years. Following various academic studies and discussions based on numerous new technology response policies, coupled with the examination of trends and changes over time, academia and policymakers around the world have paid attention to the multilateral analysis of the impact of new technologies on future society. This study focuses on research changes such as the stage of forecasting factors that should consider the technology assessment of new technologies, despite differences between the development methods for the assessment between developed countries and South Korea. The analysis yielded three factors of technological understanding of awareness, professionalism, and gender characteristics, in addition to a previously identified factor. The three factors are then suggested as forecasting factors for new technology. The findings of this study provide both academic and policy evidence for technology assessment based on the country's Framework Act on Science and Technology.

To keep pace with other powerful nations in this era of the era of digitalization and to emerge stronger in the world, the defense forces of South Korea aim to innovate and prepare themselves for digital battlefields of possible wars in the future. The resources in the defense sector, which is the core of defense intelligence, is based on an intelligent mission collaboration tactical network system via cyber, command, control, communication, and computer (C4), and military and non-human weapons. Defense intelligence depends on the degree of the convergence of advanced Information and communication technologies (ICTs). Considering this aspect of defense intelligence, We plan to determine the application status of defense blockchain technology and examine the feasibility of applying blockchain technology and the core of applied technology. Generally, a key feature of blockchain technology is its data integrity in untrusted environments. There are various types of core technologies for the blockchain depending on the target areas of application in the defense sector, and it is also essential to derive new application strategies for core technologies that are applied in combination with other ICT technologies. We plan to demonstrate new defense ICT converged technologies (DNAB2: Data, Network, AI, BigData, Blockchain) and DNAB2-As-Services in the defense strategy.

New technologies are being created and resulted as new types of fusion complex as the barrier between technology and industries are being broken and convergence is becoming more activated in the global economy of the era of fourth industrial revolution. Korea government is trying to foster innovative technologies for new technologies and new services to prepare for the fourth industrial revolution and gain global competitiveness, but many regulations make it difficult to verify and commercialize them. In response, the Korea government is pushing for the introduction of a regulation-free special zone system in which sandboxes are applied so that new technology and new service-based innovation projects can be freely commercialized through experiment and demonstration. This study aims to examine the limitations of the special zones for regional specialization development applied to the zones that are applied uniformly throughout the country and suggest ways for the deregulation special zone to be fostered as an empirical test bed based on new technologies and as a base for regional innovation.

The new generation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) will likely make use of state-of-the-art technologies in many areas of the plant. The analysis, design, and selection of advanced human-system interfaces (HSIs) constitute an important part of power plant engineering. Designers need to consider the new capabilities afforded by these technologies in the context of current regulations and new operational concepts, which is why they need a more rigorous method by which to plan the introduction of advanced HSIs in NPP work areas. Much of current human factors research stops at the user interface and fails to provide a definitive process for integration of end user devices with instrumentation and control and operational concepts. The current lack of a clear definition of HSI technology, including the process for integration, makes characterization and implementation of new and advanced HSIs difficult. This paper describes how new design concepts in the nuclear industry can be analyzed and how HSI technologies associated with new industrial processes might be considered. It also describes a basis for an understanding of human as well as technology characteristics that could be incorporated into a prioritization scheme for technology selection and deployment plans.

The main objective of modern reproductive technologies in pig reproduction is to increase reproductive efficiency and rates of genetic improvement. They also offer potential for greatly extending the multiplication and transport of genetic materials and the conservation of unique genetic resources in reasonably available forms for possible future use. The development and refinement of these technologies is concentrating on gamete and embryo collection, sorting and preservation, in vitro production of embryos, culturing, manipulation of embryos (splitting, nuclear transfer, production of chimeras, establishment embryo stem cells, and gene transfer) and embryo transfer. Also, the development of these novel technologies is facilitated by modern equipment for ultrasonography, microscopy, cryopreservation, endoscopy, and flow cytometry, microinjectiors, micromanipulators and centrifugation. The real impact on herd productivity will come from combining new reproductive techniques with powerful DNA technologies. The new reproductive techniques will allow a rapid turnover of generations, whereas the DNA technology can provide selection, which does not need phenotypic information when the selection decisions are made.
