  • The main objective of this research is to examine the spillover effects of technological knowledge from IT industry to other industrial sectors and, based on empirical findings, to draw policy implications and suggest policy directions. To this end, we divide IT industry into IT equipment and IT service, assuming that these two sub-sectors are considerably different each other in terms of technology knowledge flow. Other industries are classified into 17 different sectors based on the KSIC of 1990. As the proxy measure of technological knowledge, the notion of R&D stock is employed. The Input/output(I/O) Table is used to define the inter-industrial flow pattern and to draw the knowledge flow matrix. As the research methodology, cost function model is employed to gauge the spillover effects of technological knowledge of IT industry. Based on the results of analysis, it is found that the economic impact of technology diffusion also exhibits a different pattern between IT equipment and IT service. The diffusion of IT equipment tends to show labor-substitution effect whereas IT service displays labor-creation effect. This fact should be considered in devising industry, education, and labor policy. The expectations from this research are as follows. First, the sectoral pattern, difference between IT equipment and service in particular, identified from this research may shed light on the sector-specific policy direction. It is emphasized that a sector-specific approach, rather than an aggregate approach, is relevant for formulating IT policy. Second, it is expected that the importance of technology diffusion programs and policy measures are recognized among policy makers in IT industry.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose education program development models for improving communication competencies of engineering undergraduates in Korea based on practical research with empirical data on engineering undergraduates communication abilities. This study can help many universities to develop communication curriculum for undergraduates in engineering. Because of practical research on 355 engineering undergraduates empirical data, this study can provide new guideline of teaching communication skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). Future research could examine and develop more possibilities and limitations of these studies through expansion of research to the many universities and students.

  • The study set up research models and hypotheses to examine the influence of HMR selection attributes on satisfaction and repurchase intention by distribution channels(convenience store/large market), verify the research hypothesis through empirical analysis, respectively. The purpose of this study is to investigate the convenience sampling method of HMR purchase from convenience store and large market in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. The survey was conducted from January 8, 2018 to January 26, 2018, and 300 questionnaires were distributed and 289 of them were used as an effective data. For the empirical analysis, SPSS 20.0 was used. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, product quality only has a significant effect on satisfaction among HMR selection attributes at convenience store, and product safety and convenience have no significant effect on satisfaction. Second, only the convenience of HMR selection attributes in the large market has a significant effect on satisfaction, and product safety and product quality have no significant effect on satisfaction. Third, HMR satisfaction in convenience stores and large markets has a significant effect on repurchase intention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among HMR selection attributes, satisfaction, and repurchase intention, which are important in the existing HMR research, by each distribution channel(convenience store/large market). It is meaningful to help them establish an effective sales strategy for each segment.

  • The amount of cesium released from the leaching of spent fuels in contact with and without the compacted bentonite bloc]t which was compacted as the density of $1.4g/\textrm{cm}^3$, up to 5.7 years were measured and the empirical formula of the fractional release rate of cesium were derived from these measured values. The empirical formulas show that the long-term release rate of cesium under a repository would become a constant, as about $3{\times}10_{-6}$ fraction/day, after a certain period. The cumulative fractions of cesium released from the spent fuel with bentonite and with copper and stainless steel sheets were steadily increased, but the fraction from bare fuel was rapidly increased and then sluggishly increased. However, the remained value except its gap inventory from the cumulative fraction of cesium released from bare fuel was almost very close to the others. This suggests that the initial release of cesium from bare fuel might be dependant on its gap inventory.
