  • This study includes services that require six professional guides - health care, exhibition performance, restaurant, shopping, business and daily life - as well as a trip-based tour, along with solving existing problems that may occur on domestic and overseas trips, and proposes services that connect users with proven professional guides. As a result of previous research, the most needed services among overseas travel were air tickets, accommodation, transportation, and guides, but as Korea enters an aging society, professional guide services are expected to increase daily demand. Based on this, the service technology, user scenarios and brand development were presented. This Service Proposal provides users with a personalized guide to knowledge or experience that they have not previously known, providing them with a wealth of experience. In addition, guides can help develop new fields of expertise and help improve professional guides' capabilities. Finally, the platform service is meaningful in that it enables the creation of jobs by enabling everyone to engage in economic activities, as it allows users to provide services through their own capabilities while at the same time being convenient for them.

  • Companies shall hold social responsibility as a member of the social community. Corporate social responsibility uses corporate resources, yet it plays important roles in reducing social imbalance. Their responsibilities are highly associated with the corporate sustainability. Many earlier studies on the association between corporate social responsibility and corporate sustainability have been attempted. Yet it should be mentioned that they do not show a variety of realities as linearity between dependent variables and independent variables were assumed. Thus, this study aims to analyze Markov blanket, a node of minimum descriptive variables that relieve a rigid assumption among variables and affect corporate sustainability by using Bayesian network. Sensitivity analysis was used to elicit how other variables affect by reflecting the complex reality when real factors are changed. As an important result of this study, the firm's future earnings sustainability is naturally related to operating earnings, and as the corporate governance structure is sound, the firm is able to steadily fulfill its social responsibility. However, the fact that the size of a company is large does not mean that it is in good compliance with corporate laws. This would not be unrelated to the fact that many of today's companies are not complying with the law and are suffering social condemnation. Results from this study will serve as a useful analytic tool when investors and creditors showing interests in corporate sustainability for assessing the value of companies and making investment decisions. Moreover, they can be used as references for relevant agency supervising capital markets to establish or improve appropriate institutions aimed at improving corporate sustainability.

  • The aim of this study was to determine the anticancer activities of an 80% methanol extract and various fractions of Rhododendron brachycarpum (RB). The n-hexane fraction of RB showed the highest inhibitory activity (Inhibit concentration $50%=20.2{\pm}1.2{\mu}g/ml$) in HT-29 cells. Colony- and sphereforming abilities were significantly correlated with a decrease in the cell count and size. A TOP/FOP flash reporter assay revealed that the inhibitory activity of the n-hexane fraction of RB ($0.22{\pm}0.02$ fold change) was lower than that of the 80% methanol extract and that of other fractions. The n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of RB were predominantly dependent on the expression levels of intracellular ${\beta}-catenin$. Western blotting using $p-GSK3{\beta}$ with only the n-hexane fraction of RB was conducted to examine whether these secondary metabolites reduced ${\beta}-catenin$ degradation. Intracellular ${\beta}-catenin$ regulation resulted in quantitative changes in the nucleus. In summary, these results demonstrate the potential of the n-hexane fraction of RB as a natural anticancer agent.

  • Although a study on documentation strategy has been steadily releasing recently in the archival study field, it is rare that the cases or studies applying the institutional functional analysis methodology that Helen Samuels had suggested. The institutional functional analysis is a methodology to provide a comprehensive understanding of the record by defining the essential features of the institution at a macro level. The documentation area derived from the institutional functional analysis functions as a priori framework for an archivist to select and keep the records of the institution. In other words, by analyzing the function of the institution through the institutional functional analysis methodology, it makes possible to identify the functions not covered under the current records retention schedule at a macro level ensuring accountability of the organization's business activities. The documentation project of the United States is a prime example to comply with this background. In this study, by analyzing the case of the United States Congress, it is proposed the derived implications for applying the institutional functional analysis to the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, where is the similar national institution to the U.S. Congress. For this purpose, firstly, the theoretical debate on the institutional functional analysis as the previous studies. Secondly, the documentation project of the United States Congress has been case analyzed by each function according to the institutional functional analysis. Thirdly, on the basis of the case study results, the implications are derived and it is suggested that the documentation areas applicable to the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea.

  • In Korea, which achieved economic growth due to export industries, the economic importance of the foreign port transportation industry is very great. The government took the initiative in fostering the foreign port transportation industry, and as a result, it developed into one of the top 10 foreign port transport countries in the world. However, due to the poor management of the small and medium-sized foreign port transport business and the trade dispute between countries, the foreign port transportation industry has faced a long-term invasion. Therefore, in order for these companies to recover again, they will, among other things, have to reorganize their operational inefficiency to carry out efficient production activities. In this study, we want to analyze the management efficiency of the top 10% companies in the unlisted domestic outbound shipping industry, present the project value of inefficient enterprises, and confirm the reference collection of companies that may be subject to benchmarking. For this purpose, a total of 10 foreign port transportation industry were analysed for efficiency and scale profitability (RTS) of the CCR and BCC models. The analysis showed that there were a total of six entities with BCC efficiency and five entities with CCR efficiency. In addition, there were a total of five entities with both BCC and CCR efficiency.

Another aim of this investigation also was to clarify the mediating role of economic and social satisfaction in the relationship between franchisor's CSR and franchisee's loyalty. Research design, data, and methodology - This study explores the structural relationship between franchisor's CSR and franchisee's loyalty and in these relationships, the mediating role of relationship satisfaction. Data were gathered from employees(above manager) in food-service franchisee companies in Seoul, Korea. The questionnaires were distributed to managers of the franchise stores. A total of 251 questionnaires were collected. Data management and analysis were performed using SPSS 21.O and SmartPLS 3.0. Evaluation of measurement model and structural model was carried out using confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis. Result - The results of this study show as follows. First, economic CSR had positive effects on economic satisfaction and social satisfaction. Second, philanthropic CSR had positive effects on social satisfaction. Third, economic satisfaction and social satisfaction had positive effects on franchisee's loyalty to the franchisor. Conclusions - The important implications of this study have as follows. First, this study has found that economic CSR can create a high economic satisfaction and social satisfaction of franchisee. Second, this findings suggest that the philanthropic CSR can improve the social satisfaction of franchisee. Third, this results demonstrate, for the first time, that the economic satisfaction and social satisfaction of franchisees can play a crucial role to improve their loyalty for the franchisor and pursue mutual development by maintaining the stable business relationship with a franchisor. In this investigation there are at least three limitations. First, Because the research sample is limited to the foodservice franchisee in Seoul, it is not possible to be representativeness of the national franchisee. Second, CSR activities are mostly focused on large franchise companies. Therefore, there is a limit to the research approach. Finally, this study examined the effect of economic CSR and philanthropic CSR on the loyalty of franchisors, but in the future study, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between CSR and loyalty of franchise companies by collecting specific quantitative data such as re-contract rate and management performance of franchisees.

  • Many domestic organizations are introducing and operating various information security management systems capable of coping with technical, administrative, and legal issues comprehensively and systematically, in order to prevent various infringement incidents such as personal information disclosure and hacking preemptively and actively. However, empirical analyses regarding the extent to which an information security management system contributes to information security performance have not been fully conducted, even though enterprises and organizations are actively introducing such systems in order to achieve their information security objectives as a part of their organizational management activities in line with their respective business, by investing considerable effort and resources in developing and operating these systems. This approach can be used to apply, develop, and operate the information management system actively within an organization. this study focused on analyzing how each specific phase of the information security management system affects information security performance, compared with previous studies, which generally focus on the information security control item in analyzing information security performance. The information security management system was analyzed empirically to determine how the Security PCDA cycling model affects information security performance.

  • The purpose of this study is two things. First, it is to develop and demonstrate a sharong taxi platform. To this end, the implications for platform development were derived by analyzing consumers' perceptions of existing taxi services using IPA. As a result, abnormal business activities and safe services in the maintenance area were found to be safe rides and easy rides in the key improvement area. Safety such as usage fee level and driver information provision were derived in the areas subject to improvement, and friendly response and internal and external cleanliness were derived in the areas of excessive investment. The second purpose of this study is to estimate the value given to users for sharing taxi service platforms using the CVM. As a result of estimating the value of the demonstration service of the shared taxi platform developed through this study, the WTP was 3,621 won/per household/per year when expanding throughout Gimhae-si, and 2,515 won/per household/per year. Compared to the willingness to pay for empirical services, only 69.5% of the willingness to pay for the spread project in Gimhae-si. This is the result of a combination of service spread to an unspecified number of people and concerns about service quality due to spatial expansion. This suggests that it is necessary to build data through continuous demonstration and to carefully build a roadmap for spread by upgrading services based on this.

  • This study aims to develop the trustworthiness model for public digital records, as an admissibility framework for establishing trust. The trustworthiness model is deemed to used to identify the qualities of the digital records in their lifecycle, including the identity that could be identified at the time of the creation, integrity obtained from the chain-of-custodial management, the evidence of relationship between business activities and records, and the technical or cognitive accessibility. Based on the analysis of the QADEP model, it was decided to develop a model that could measure the trustworthiness of public digital records in the external measurement type, which are authenticity, reliability, and usability. In line with this direction, the model expanded measurement areas and indicators of the QADEP model through the analysis of ISO 16175-1:2020, and measuring metrics was also proposed so that it could be a measuring instrument for public digital records in Korea, after analysing NAK 19-3. It would be useful to expand the model and to test the approach of the trustworthiness model for public digital records.
