  • This paper examines how learning orientation and self-efficacy contributed to explaining innovation behaviors. In order to verify the relationships and mediating effect, data were collected from 368 individuals in employees working in small and medium-sized firms at Gyeongnam region to test theoretical model and its hypotheses. All data collected from the survey were analyzed using with SPSS 18.0. This study reports findings as follows: first, the relationship between the learning orientation and the employee's self-efficacy is positively related. Second, there was also a positive correlation between the employee's self-efficacy and the innovation behaviors. Third, the relationship between the learning orientation and the innovation behaviors is positively related. Finally, the employee's self-efficacy played as a partial mediator on the relationship between learning orientation and innovation behaviors. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of the study were presented including some directions for future studies.

  • 많은 중소기업들은 정보시스템 적용과 운용에 있어서 정보기술의 전략적, 운영적 차원의 사용보다는 당면한 기업조직의 현문제와 기존의 시스템의 적절한 유지와 보수문제를 어떻게 해야 하는가 하는 문제에 더욱 집중되어 있다. 그러나 정보기술은 기업의 전략적 무기로 인식하여 경쟁우위를 점할 수 있는 가장 큰 수단으로 인식되어 져야 한다. 본 연구는 대기업중심의 아웃소싱관련 선행연구를 통해 우리나라 중소기업의 정보시스템 아웃소싱 상황에 맞는 모형연구가 필요하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 선행연구에서는 파트너십에 대한 문제와 기술적, 통제적, 경제적에 대한 성공요인에 대한 검토되었는데 한편 우리나라 중소기업 상황에서는 자금 회사규모 문제 40.3%, 시스템 운영인력 부족 24.1%, 임직원 활용능력 부족 8.9% 등이 문제로 나타났다 이처럼 대기업과 위험요인과 중소기업의 요인을 비교하였다 그리고 지금까지 나타난 대기업 아웃소싱 문제점과 함께 지난 2년간 정부주도하의 중소기업 정보화 지원사업을 연구하여 중소기업 정보화 아웃소싱 성공요인들을 도출하여 성공적인 중소기업 정보시스템 아웃소싱 모형 만들 수가 있을 것이다.

  • 인공신경망을 이용한 기업도예측에 관한 연구는 일반적으로 대기업을 대상으로 수행되고 있으며, 분석자료로는주로 재무제표에서 얻어지는 재무정보를 사용하고 있다. 이들 대기업의 재무정보들은 비교적양이 풍부하고 신뢰성이 높기 때문에 인공신경망을 이용한 도산예측의 적중률이 80%∼85%의 높은 수준을 보이고 있다. 하지만, 중소기업이 재무정보는 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 신뢰성이 낮을 가능성이 높기 때문에, 중소기업의 도산예측에 있어서 재무정보만을 사용하게 되면 그 정확도가 떨어지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 인공신경망을 이용한 중소기업의 도산예측에 있어서, 재무정보를 보완할 수 있는 비재무정보의 유용성을 검증하였다. 연구결과 본 연구에서 사용한 비재무정보가 획득가능한 비재무정보중 극히 일부에 지나지 않았음에도 불고하고, 재무정보만을 사용하였을 때보다 예측력이 10%정도나 향상되었다.

  • Since 2000, S. Korea is building yachts through government supported localization, cooperation between industry and educational organizations, or partnerships with foreign firms but the yacht building has yet only accomplished trial manufactured ships and one-time production. Because of a lack of mass production, the industry assesses the domestic technical skills to an average 50~60% of developed countries and its market share is less than 1% in the world. In addition, domestic marine equipment is heavily depending on imports and the industry is experiencing shortage of technology and experts, small-sized companies, insufficient industry and educational organizations' cooperation networks, inadequate legislation and policies, deficient domestic market vitalization, and scarce international information. Thus, this study focuses on the alternative plans to strengthen competitiveness and to cope with problems in the southeast marine leisure equipment industry.

  • The US-China trade war forced a reluctant semiconductor industry into someone else's fight, a very different position from its leading role in the 1980s trade conflict with Japan. This paper describes how the political economy of the global semiconductor industry has evolved since the 1980s. That includes both a shift in the business model behind how semiconductors go from conception to a finished product as well as the geographic reorientation toward Asia of demand and manufactured supply. It uses that lens to explain how, during the modern conflict with China, US policymakers turned to a legally complex set of export restrictions targeting the semiconductor supply chain in the attempt to safeguard critical infrastructure in the telecommunications sector. The potentially far-reaching tactics included weaponization of exports by relatively small but highly specialized American software service and equipment providers in order to constrain Huawei, a Fortune Global 500 company. It describes potential costs of such policies, some of their unintended consequences, and whether policymakers might push them further in the attempt to constrain other Chinese firms.

  • In a recent study, the phenomena of attention being drawn to the media business, particularly over-the-top (OTT) services, was the focus. Particularly, after the Squid Game was broadcast in September 2021, the total number of Netflix users had topped 213.6 million since the company first entered the domestic market. Domestic companies have also introduced OTT services like 'Wave', 'Tving', and 'Watcha Play' to capitalize on this market trend. However, questions persist about how Korea's native OTT providers, both large and small, are being harmed by Netflix's strong financial position and massive content quantity. In order to offer realistic performance metrics, we analyze Coupang Play among domestic OTT service providers after reviewing the business model and management strategy of representative OTT service firms.

  • Organizational culture has been recognized as a determinant of corporate Effectiveness. Cultural components could affect corporate Effectiveness to different extents. However, it seems that none of the previous studies have evaluated and compared these influential extents of cultural components. The current research applies analytic hierarchy processes to assess and rate the significance extents that, cultural components play in resulting in corporate Effectiveness. Then, the current work utilizes regression analyses to re-evaluate the significance extents for the robustness of analytic hierarchy processes. The findings indicate that clan culture is the most vital component in explaining corporate Effectiveness. In contrast, adhocracy culture is the least important component in affecting corporate Effectiveness. Market culture is a cultural component that is ranked the second in determining corporate Effectiveness, and next is hierarchy culture which is the third. The findings are in support of the positive influences of clan, market, and adhocracy cultures on corporate Effectiveness; whereas it found the negative impact of hierarchy culture on corporate Effectiveness.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate how the vendor suitability factor affects ERP introduction factors of domestic small and middle businesses and internal performance. When domestic firms introduce an ERP package, they mostly use the package already developed by ERP firms. Therefore, this study tried to analyze that the suitability factor of an ERP package supplier serves as a moderating role for ERP internal performance. The study result showed that the vendor suitability factor played a moderating role for ERP introduction factors and internal performance. In other words, the vendor suitability factor served a moderating role for four factors -CEO support, education/training, users' IT capability, and business standardization /formulation- and internal performance. But, it was analyzed that the vendor suitability factor didn't serve as a moderating role for IT infrastructure and internal performance.
