The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the financial performance of regional public hospitals on their efficiency. In addition, the analysis of their efficiency using environmental factors, such as the market share, operating mode, and size of the regional public hospitals, as well as the factors influencing their efficiency, are selected by selecting the input and output factors of the hospitals and some differences were found between them. The DEA index and financial performance of the 31 regional public hospitals were calculated for the three years from 2012 to 2014. ANOVA and hierarchical regression analysis were used. As a result, there was a significant difference in their efficiency according to the environmental factors, such as the city scale of the regional public hospital, the number of hospital beds, and their business performance, productivity, and publicness. The medical profit margin (p<0.05), labor cost investment efficiency (p<0.05) and HHI (p<0.05) were found to affect the efficiency. In order to identify the inefficiencies of the regional public hospitals and increase their efficiency, it is necessary to measure the efficiency of the input resources and to reduce their cost. In addition, if the regional public hospitals were to provide specialized services, such as specialized functions of medical care that would give them a competitive advantage over private hospitals, their operational efficiency would be enhanced and they would be able to fulfill their role as public medical institutions.

Using a panel data set covering 19 Korean manufacturing sectors for the period 2009-2015, this paper investigates the extent to which industry characteristics affect the mode of entering foreign markets. The estimation results across various specifications show that firms prefer affiliate sales to export as firm heterogeneity increases, implying positive effects of productivity regarding foreign relative to domestic operations. The motive for overseas production is reinforced as economies of scale at the plant level decrease and economies of scale at the corporate level increase.

This study intends to analyze the status and efficiency of education-training in Korean firm. A study on the education-training in firm is very important nowadays, but the study level on this issue in Korea is low. The study method of this paper is the case study on a high-level Korean firm in the education-training status. This study first attempted to analyze the concept and size of the education-training in firm. And then this study figured out factors that determine the efficiency of education-training. Finally, I analyzed the status and efficiency of education-training in this case firm. Unfortunately, the efficiency level of my case firm in the education-training was low, in spite of a high-level firm in the education-training status. To upgrade the efficiency level of this firm in the education-training, this firm has to resolve many tasks.

단위면적당 증발산량 중 일부가 식생의 물질 생산에 이용될 수 있는지를 나타내는 지표인 수분 이용효율 (Water Use Efficiency, WUE)은 총 일차생산성(Gross Primary Productivity, GPP)과 단위면적당 증발산량(Evapotranspiration, ET)의 비로 산출된다. 이전 연구들에서의 수분 이용효율의 적용은 수분 스트레스에 대한 작물의 생산성 차이 분석과 같은 작물학과 농림학 분야의 연구들이 대부분이었지만. 기후 변화가 생태계 생산성 또는 에너지 수지에 영향을 미치는 등의 전 지구적 규모의 수문학적 연구에도 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 영상자료에서 1km 해상도로 8일 단위의 총 일차생산성과 증발산량을 산정함으로써 수분 이용효율을 구하였다. 향후에는 산정된 이 지표를 남한지역에 적용하여 수분 이용효율에 대한 지도를 작성하고, 실측된 총 일차생산량과 증발산 값을 이용하여 검증한 후 알고리즘을 개선해 나갈 계획이다.

본 연구는 국적항공사를 포함하여 지난 1998${\sim}$2001년까지 세계 주요 항공사들의 생산성의 변화 추이가 어떻게 전개되었고, 어떤 요인에 의해 영향을 받았는지를 분석하였다. 특히, 1997년 금융위기 이후 생산성의 변화에 주안점을 두었다. 추정결과, 우선 세계 주요 항공사들은 1998${\sim}$2001년 기간 동안 약 0.3%의 생산성 하락을 기록하였고, 이러한 생산성의 변화는 생산 프론티어에 비해 0.9% 악화된 반면, 산출물을 생산하는 기술 수준은 0.6% 확대된 것으로 분석되었다. 다음으로, 항공사의 '유상톤키로미터' 기준에 의한 규모별 생산성 증가율은 소형규모(group1)와 대형규모(group6)에 속한 항공사들에서 각각 3.5%, 2.1% 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 중형사들은 생산성의 증가가 이루어진 것으로 제시되었다. 또한, 기간별로는 1997년 금융위기 이후 1998년과 1999년은 각각 1.5%, 0.2%의 생산성 하락을 보였다가, 2000년은 1.7% 생산성이 다소 향상되었으며, 2001년 다시 1.2%의 생산성 하락을 보이고 있다. 마지막으로 항공사별로는 동 기간 동안 아시아지역 항공사들(AAR, SIA, ANA 등)은 생산상 향상을 가져온 반면, 미국 항공사들(UAL, AAL 등)은 생산성 하락을 가져온 것을 알 수 있다. 국적항공사의 경우에는 KAL은 1998${\sim}$1999년 기간 동안은 생산성 하락을 가져왔으나, 2000${\sim}$2001년은 큰 폭의 생산성 향상을 가져왔다. AAR은 1998년 생산성 하락이 이루어진 이후 1999년부터는 높은 생산성 향상이 이루어졌다.

본 논문에서는 방사적(radial) 및 비방사적(non-radial) DEA 모형을 사용하여 광산업(Photonics)의 효율성 지수를 측정하고 그 결과를 비교 분석 하였다. 분석결과, 업종별로는 광전변환기기, 광재료, 관측검사기기 분야의 효율성 지수가 1(100%)로 나타나 가장 생산적인 규모의 상태인 것으로 나타났으며, 대부분의 업종에서 종업원수의 과잉투자가 두드러지게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 실제 투입된 인력 수준에 상응하는 성과가 실현되지 못하고 있음을 시사하는 것으로 종업원의 생산효율성을 높이려는 노력이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

By using data envelopment analysis(DEA) this research measures the efficiency of Korea's five seaports and their Malmquist productivity from 1997 to 2006. Under the assumption of CRS(constant returns to scale) and VRS(various returns to scale), seaports' rankings of efficiency are measured. Busan port is confirmed as a best-performed port in the various measurements. Important finding facts are as follows. 1)Busan, lncheon and Ulsan seaports are efficient ports under the assumption of CRS and VRS. 2)Gwangyang port shows 4.3% lower efficiency level compared with efficient ports. 3)Pohang port shows 27.3% lower efficiency level compared with efficient ports. 4)Average total factor productivity of Korea's five ports has been lower at the rate of 3.1% during the period from 1997 to 2006. Main policy implications are 1)Busan port is more efficient than Gwangyang port, which reflects the difference of economic activities between two regional econmies. 2)During the period 1997-2006, Korea's five largest ports has experienced lower efficiency levels in the first half period because of the 1997 Korean Financial Crisis, but higher efficiency levels in the second half period because of economic recovery. In future research the more and better data will be expected to improve the understanding of Korean seaports' efficiency characteristics.

Most of professional baseball teams are not good for business condition because of operation costs in spite of support of mother company. This study measured the relative efficiency and productivity change of the Korean professional baseball teams using DEA model and Malmquist Index for 2006-2008. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, in case of efficiency of CCR for 2006-2008, the number of efficient professional baseball teams(CCR value is one) are two(Doosan Bears, Samsung Lions), two(Doosan Bears, SK Wyberns), two(Lotte Giants, LG Twins) respectively. Second, in case of efficiency of BCC for 2006-2008, the number of efficient professional baseball teams(BCC value is one) are three(Doosan Bears, Samsung Lions, LG Twins ), four(Doosan Bears, SK Wyberns, Samsung Lions, Kia Tigers), four(Lotte Giants, LG Twins, SK Wyberns, Samsung Lions) respectively. Third, average of Malmquist Index representing productivity change for 2006-2008 are 1.0615, 1.0293 respectively. These values mean increase of productivity. Results of this study can be used by inefficient professional baseball teams to improve inefficiency.

Softwares which have many functions to satisfy user's requirements is developing. But generally, users use partial functions of software. If we could construct software which leave useful functions and remove unuseful functions in software with many functions, we could enhance execution efficiency by reduction of program size and quality of software. There are 6 items in international standard ISO/IEC 9126 about quality of software. These are functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintenance and portability. In this study, we proposed metrics for measurement of efficiency and simplification method for source code. And we described products evaluation result and indicated problem and progress method for practical development project about proposed efficiency metrics.
