This present paper examines stochastic cost functions of Malaysian commercial bank from 1991 to 1997 periods catches the changes un their management structure and technical efficiency. Then we also discuss policy implications for bank integration and competition policy which is the part of current financial reform that reinforces the banking sector. The present paper contributes to the expansion of their study in two respects. Firstly, we have estimated the cost function, availing ourselves of SEA based on a parametric approach. Secondly, our model also includes as a factor the existence of bad debts. According to our results, we observed economies of scale clearly, but economies of scope and technological progress were not observed. Regarding the policy implications, the result of our analysis suggests strongly that the current policy is appropriate.

Recently, resettlement problems of low income groups in the urban regeneration area have been issued in Korea because they have no capability to purchase (or lease) redeveloped housing (or apartment). There are several approaches for supplying affordable housing and one of these is the bidding system which can reduce construction cost. However, the lowest bidding system has many problems such as dumping and substandard quality. In this context, this study proposed bidding system based on technical proposal applying the concept of the lowest total combined bid price for optimization of bid price, reduction of construction cost and period, and maintenance of suitable quality. This bidding system embraces the best value and cost plus time concept on the basis of an improved lowest price bidding system. It consists of the following components: work unit based, project unit based, and period reducing technical proposals. The proposed bidding system for determining bidders are designed to evaluate the adequacy of each technical proposal in the order of the combined minimum price in an effort to effectively optimize bid prices and reduce the construction periods, as well as to maintain a minimum appropriate quality.

This research focuses on what factors determine firm's decisions on R&D outsourcing and how R&D outsourcing affect R&D performance. In recent years many firms outsource R&D activities instead of internalizing it. Thus, further investigation is necessary to find out this recent trend. Based on several theoretical background the study developed three determining factors of R&D outsourcing which are transactional level, firm level, and risk level. Transactional level composes of independent variables such as R&D cost saving, asset specificity and uncertainty which mainly comes from Transaction Cost Economics theory. Firm level composes of openness to technology from outer source, R&D capability, and outsourcing experience. Risk level composes of technological risk, cost-related risk and managerial risk. The result shows that R&D outsourcing is significantly related to cost saving aspect, low asset specific firms, firms without solid technological background, firms which are open to external technology, firms with other types of outsourcing experience, and firms which take technological risks. However, proposed relationship between degree of R&D outsourcing and R&D performance found out to be insignificant. This research is contribute to the field of outsourcing study since it will give guidance to managers who need to make strategic decisions on R&D outsourcing activities.

IMF이후 건설 물량은 감소하고 있는 경향이나 재해율은 그다지 감소하지 않고 있고 여전히 중대재해는 계속 발생하고 있는 추세이며, 건설업체에서는 안전관리에 대한비용을 더욱 아끼려 하고 있어 비용절감을 위해 재해예방을 위한 안전시설 비용이나 안전활동 비용을 투자하지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 중·소규모 건설현장 안전점검의 실태를 조사 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고 효율적 운영방안을 제시하는 것으로 하였다 현행 안전점검의 실태조사를 위하여 안전점검의 관계담당자인 전국의 노동부 지방노동관서 근로감독관, 한국산업안전의 각 지역본부 및 지도원 기술직원, 안전점검대상 건설현장 관계자에게 각각 설문 조사지를 배부하여 실태를 조사하고 분석하였으며, 또한 노동부의 최근 년도인 1999년, 2000년도의 재해발생통계 및 안전점검실적 자료, 대한건설협회의 최근 년도별 건설공사 수주금액, 공사규모별 현황 및 외국의 건설현장 안전점검사례를 수집하고 분석하였다. 이러한 실태조사 등 수집된 자료분석 및 각종 참고문헌 연구를 통하여 안전점검의 대상현장을 선정하는 기준과 위반사항에 대한 행정 및 사법조치 기준에 대한 문제점을 제시하고 이러한 문제점에 대하여 효율적인 개선대책을 제시하였다.

This paper analyzes the role of technology valuation in licensing, a commonly used type of transaction of technology, and reviews methods to analyze information on technology valuation for technology licensing. It contemplates the concepts, types and practical application of cost-based valuation, market-based valuation, discounted cash flow, and economic analysis. It shows that each method considers how to share profits associated with technology between licensor and licensee in a fair and reasonable manner when we apply any method to technology licensing.

In this paper, we propose a precise frame-level near-duplicate video matching algorithm. First, a binary frame descriptor for near-duplicate video matching is proposed. The binary frame descriptor divides a frame into patches and represent the relations between patches in bits. Seconds, we formulate a cost function for the matching, composed of matching costs and compensatory costs. Then, we roughly determine initial matchings and refine the matchings iteratively to minimize the cost function. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides efficient performance for frame-level near duplicate video matching.

인류는 정보전달매체의 변화를 통하여 오늘날 정보기술의 새로운 패러다임으로 변 화하게 되었다. 이러한 변화는 언어에 의한 문자혁명을 시작으로 종이에 의한 인쇄혁명, 통 신매체에 의한 통신혁명 나아가 정보기술의 발달로 인한 정보혁명의 시대로 발전하게 되었 다. 정보기술의 발달은 네트워크 및 통신기술의 진전으로 기업의 업무프로세스를 변혁하게 되었으며 기업은 인터넷을 전략적인 경쟁무기로 활용하게 되었다. 글로벌기업은 글로벌시장 에서 글로벌 네트워크를 통하여 21세기 초일류기업으로 살아 남기 위하여 인터넷의 전략적 활용을 더욱 강조하게 되었다. 이에 본 연구는 최근에 급속하게 확산되고 있는 인터넷의 전 략적 모형 및 비용편익분석을 중심으로 고찰하였다.

Spatial structures is a appropriate shape that resists external force with only inplane force by reducing the influence of bending moment, and it maximizes the effect of structure system. An economic analysis is one of the most important factors to determine the project feasibility. Large spatial structures project is more need to comprehensive technology than a general construction project. In order to result in success of these project, it is desired that analyze an essential elements(for example, large budget, professional engineer, construction method, etc.) in the whole life cycle of buildings by schematic preparation from the early feasible study steps. We collect the data and analyze construction cost through this study which examines general remarks of existing spatial structures and researches its examples. This study is aimed to apply basic data to establish database the spatial structures.

In Korea, there are 1,474 thousand pumping wells nationwide which account for about 12% of total water use in 2012. As much as 39 hundred million tons of groundwater were used while 333 hundred million tons of total water were supplied in 2012. Because the water management authority projects that water demand will exceed supply by 2021, the authority is planning to extensively expand groundwater use in accordance with economic feasibility. Using the basic frameworks of cost-benefit analyses of the World Bank and the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), the objective of this study is to examine the costs and benefits of the expansion of Korea's groundwater extraction through pumping wells. We conclude that the BC ratio of the groundwater pumping wells is 2.98. This signifies that the benefits are 2.98 times higher than the costs. The benefits include use and non-use values of pumping wells while the costs include the installation and maintenance of new wells, in addition to the restoration and pollution costs of abandoned wells, as well as fees for water quality tests, etc.
