The purpose of this article is to highlight the relationships among market orientation, environmental turbulence, marketing capabilities, and organizational performance in railway industry(616 participants). Major findings are: 1) market orientation showed a significant effect on marketing capabilities, and organizational performance, 2) environmental turbulence functioned as a moderator not to organizational performance, but to marketing capabilities, 3) and marketing capabilities showed a strong effect on organizational performance. These findings imply that market orientation, as well as marketing capabilities, are so essential for creating a supreme performance in the railway industry.

This paper analyzed the management quality activities and performance based on industrial types. We divided the business into four industrial types, manufacturing industry, service industry, medical institution and public enterprise. We analyzed the differences of the elements of management quality in industrial types. The results show that leadership, measurement, analysis and knowledge management and workforce focus categories are not significant and strategic planning, customer and market focus, process management and performance categories are significant. This paper proposes the directions of management quality activities and performance according to industrial types based on these results.

The present study analyzed empirically the structural relationship among characters, market orientation and performance of CEO's in small and medium-sized companies. The analysis showed that market orientation is affected by CEO's characters in the industry. It was also revealed from the analysis that the business performance and technical renovation of small and medium-sized companies rely fairly on their market orientation. These findings are believed to have great significance in the process of creating market orientation by the industry. That is, CEO's will may play a very important role in pursuit of market orientation and, at the same time, may act as a vital factor for small and medium-sized companies to achieve business performance and to realize technical renovation.

An efficient and productive R&D operation is a major source of competitive advantage in today's economy, and a lot of efforts are made to raise R&D productivity. A prerequisite for making R&D more efficient and productive is to be able to measure it. Hence, a number of studies have attempted to measure R&D productivity. R&D productivity, in the previous studies, was measured with patents at the firm or industry level. However, most previous studies considered only a quantitative aspect, not a quantitative aspect of patents. In this study, various dimensions of patent quality as well as patent quantity were considered for the measurement of R&D performance. The differences in R&D performance across sectors were examined, and it was found that electrical/electronic industry shows higher R&D performance than mechanic and chemical industries. Discriminant analysis based on inputs and outputs for R&D shows' that there exist a strong discriminatory power across industries. The results of this research can provide the directions 'for the firm's R&D policy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of IT-enabled dynamic capability in the relationship between intellectual capital and innovation performance under Industry 4.0. We approach the intellectual capital from the perspective of the resource-based view and define the components of intellectual capital as human capital, social capital, and organizational capital. On the other hand, the IT-based dynamic capability means that the information technology and the utilization ability of the enterprise are combined to overcome the turbulent environment. The empirical results showed that the IT-enabled dynamic capabilities mediated the relationship between intellectual capital and innovation performance as it revealed in theory. And in terms of practical implications, we found the importance of an organization's information technology ability to effectively utilize intangible resources for organizational performance.

With the increasing prevalence of e-learning courses in human resource development of Enterprise, it is important to investigate which courses are better economic performance. In this study, we proposed the framework for the cost-benefit analysis of e-learning, and attempted to identify cost and benefits factors. In order to achieve the research goal, we firstly tries to analyze the current IT adoption performance framework and e-learning staged performance model. The methodology adopted in the research was mainly that relevant materials, literatures were collected and analyzed to draw a comprehensive picture of the current situation and problems.

String matching is one of the key algorithms in network security and many areas could be benefit from a faster string matching algorithm. Based on the most efficient string matching algorithm in sual applications, the Boyer-Moore (BM) algorithm, a novel algorithm called RQS is proposed. RQS utilizes an improved bad character heuristic to achieve bigger shift value area and an enhanced good suffix heuristic to dramatically improve the worst case performance. The two heuristics combined with a novel determinant condition to switch between them enable RQS achieve a higher performance than BM both under normal and worst case situation. The experimental results reveal that RQS appears efficient than BM many times in worst case, and the longer the pattern, the bigger the performance improvement. The performance of RQS is 7.57~36.34% higher than BM in English text searching, 16.26~26.18% higher than BM in uniformly random text searching, and 9.77% higher than BM in the real world Snort pattern set searching.

Recent interests in total quality management (TQM) and business excellence (BE) had been fuelled with a range of national and regional awards. These awards are being increasingly used by organisations as part of the business improvement process and strategic benchmarking. This paper reviews the concepts and approaches of performance measurement (PM) and discusses the integration of PM with the TQM and BE philosophies. A TQM-BE-PM framework with a set of self-assessment checklists was developed. In order to complement the literature base with empirical evidence, an industry survey was conducted and a trial implementation of the framework was carried out in a leading manufacturing firm in Hong Kong. The self-assessment performance data of the fm was evaluated and then benchmarked with the industry averages obtained from the survey. This paper presents the empirical findings and discusses the applicability of the framework in measuring and benchmarking organisational performance toward continual improvement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between clinical judgment and nursing performance based on myocardial infarction simulation applied to nursing students. Method: 39 fourth grade nursing students participated in this explanatory study with sampling of accommodations. The Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric has been used in self-reported clinical trials and satisfaction with judging practices. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS WIN 19. Results: Scenarios with myocardial infarction were scored by self-reported clinical judgment. Total mean score of clinical judgment and total mean value of clinical judgment is 4.17 ± 0.80. Correlation Between Variables After Simulation Practice is highly significant for providing positive clinical judgment and satisfaction with nursing performance. Conclusion: The simulation-based practice associated with adult nursing in myocardial infarction was useful for clinical judgment and nursing performance satisfaction, which improved the core basic skills of nursing students.

Due to economic turbulence and fierce competition in the IT service industry, companies have been seeking breakthrough of offerings by investing in research and development (R&D). This paper aims to examine the impact of R&D expenditure size on financial performance focusing on Korean IT service companies. The expected growth rate of revenue and net profit in the upcoming two years were analyzed based on three groups according to different R&D expenditure rates using collected data from 100 of IT service companies. Unlike our presumptions, our finding presents a non-significant relationship between the R&D expenditure size and companies' financial performance. An interesting result among others is that all companies invested in R&D strongly believe there will be an increase of their financial performance in the future.
