While previous studies and publications all assert a strong correlation between company's business plan and performance, very few have actually conducted practical analyses to support that. This study takes a practical approach in its analysis of Korean small and mid-sized enterprises(SME) with the view to finding an answer to the question. In addition, with the considerations of entrepreneur type and company's development stage, I analyzed the differences of business plan components' effects on performances. I selected business plan's components, which have been suggested only in theory and in concept, through the literature review and preliminary examination. Corporate performances were the recent improvements of ROS, ROA, market share and the number of employees to measure how greatly each is impacted by the components of a business plan. Results show that business plan components have influenced upon the number of employees. The business plan components discriminated superior company group and inferior company group properly. Especially, finance & related system and advertising & distribution factors showed statistically significant classification forecasting power. Technical/Craftsman evaluated the effects of producing & sales and profit & quality factors high and General/Opportunistic evaluated the effects of finance & related system, advertising & distribution, corporate mission factors high. The effect of corporate mission was highest among company development stages. Finance & related system and advertising & distribution factors showed the statistically significant difference in entrepreneur type and company development stages.

The purpose of this study is to explore the growth and development process of peer counselors in the field of disability. The field experiences of 19 peer counselors with disabilities and peer counselors who parents of children with disabilities were analyzed using the grounded theory method. As a result, first, central phenomenon were 'assuming the role of a peer counselor' and 'motor of role performance'. Intervening conditions were 'the perception that counseling is difficult', 'self-consciousness deriving from the lack of competency' and 'the status of insufficient peer counseling'. Action/interaction strategies were 'strengthening inner capacities' and 'promoting external activities'. Consequences were 'change and growth as a peer counselor', 'an expansion of activities other than peer counseling', and 'propose development tasks for peer counseling'. Second, their growth and development process was confirmed in four stages: 'the stage of introductory counseling education beyond disability', 'the stage of growth through change', 'the stage of career exploration through Competency Enhancement', and 'the stage of entry through role challenge'. Third, main theme was 'growth and development as a peer counselor is based on capacity building'.

The purpose of this study is to design an effective innovation model for communication-centered public services, based on the case of Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd (KOMIPO). This study analyzed customer and employee participation activities at KOMIPO, focusing on communication activities to derive the best practices. The study comprised of the following stages: (1) Preparation stage to assess the current situation and promote change management; (2) Problem-solving stage for improving public services; (3) Problem-solving stage for improving work processes; (4) Problem-solving stage for strengthening collaboration, and (5) Design stage for an innovation model. Based on the results of this study, an innovation model was developed for public services by applying the double-diamond design process. The proposed model presents a process structure, which is derived through an iterative process of primary divergence (discovery) and convergence (definition), and secondary divergence (development) and convergence (delivery). This study also proposed the possibility of applying the Idea-Power-Plant activities of KOMIPO's best practices to the proposed model. While this study proposed an innovation model for communication-centered public services through the analysis of a specific public company, the results of the study provide broad insights for effective operations management through efficient communication based on the participation of customers and employees in public institutions.

When designing photovoltaic power plants in Korea, the prediction of photovoltaic power generation at the design phase is carried out using PVSyst, PVWatts (Overseas power generation prediction software), and overseas weather data even if the test site is a domestic site. In this paper, for a comparative study to predict power generation using weather information, domestic photovoltaic power plants in two regions were selected as target sites. PVsyst, which is a commercial power generation forecasting program, was used to compare the accuracy between the predicted value of power generation (obtained using overseas weather information (Meteonorm 7.1, NASA-SSE)) and the predicted value of power generation obtained by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). In addition, we have studied ways to improve the prediction of power generation through comparative analysis of meteorological data. Finally, we proposed a revised solar power generation prediction model that considers climatic factors by considering the actual generation amount.

This study aims to estimate the economic effects of the simulation golf industry. Two steps are taken. Step 1 is to calculate the direct effect which includes input required to install the facility and consumer's fee to pay for the simulation golf, and the indirect effect which includes the introduction of the field golf course derived from simulation golf. Step 2 is to calculate the production, value added and employment inducement effect. As a result of this calculation, total production inducement effect is 3.6 trillion won, value-added inducement effect is calculated at about 1.66 trillion won, while employment inducement effect is 34.6 thousand people in 2011. This study is expected to contribute to providing a basis for the policy to support the simulation industry and for estimation of the economic effect in the different simulation industry such as the simulation baseball.

Given a set of DNA read sequences, de novo sequence assembly reconstructs a target sequence without a reference sequence. For reconstruction, the assembly needs the overlap phase, which computes all overlaps between every pair of reads. Since the overlap phase is the most time-consuming part of the whole assembly, the performance of the assembly depends on that of the overlap phase. There have been extensive studies on the overlap phase in various fields. Among them, three state-of-the-art results for the overlap phase are Readjoiner, SOF, and Lim-Park algorithm. Recently, a rapid development of sequencing technology has made it possible to produce a large read dataset at a low cost, and many platforms for generating a DNA read dataset have been developed. Since the platforms produce datasets with different statistical characteristics, a performance evaluation for the overlap phase should consider datasets with these characteristics. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performances of the three algorithms with various large datasets.

Cost of construction project have to be estimated based on drawing before execution. Cost estimate and check would be performed numerously for preparing general outline of requirements and determining the budget at conceptual planning stage, for obtaining decision on every matter related to design, specification, construction and cost at design stage, and for predicting bidding cost. Thus, importance of cost estimation cannot emphasize too much in construction. However, there are lack of standard estimation method, process, and cost analysis method, that square foot estimation method is as used as eyer, in Korea. Thus, This research present the direction for improving cost estimation and management in construction; It is demanded that establishing standard data base methodology, multi-level database model CUBE, and standard cost planning process, choosing cost estimation methodology according to objectives and cost planning process, and making more experts.

This paper explores the life cycle of innovation cluster, especially focussing on the Korean representative innovation cluster, Daedeok Innopolis. For this purpose, we review theoretically how an innovation cluster has been growing up. In particular, we discuss how a cluster has been formed and activated by governmental innovation policies from an evolutionary perspective. By doing so, the study identifies the typical features of an innovation cluster according to each dimensions of the cluster life cycle. The results of this study are as follows: First, in this study, Daedeok Innopolis has characteristics of latency, emergence, growth, and maturity from evolutionary perspective. Second, the governmental structure of the Daedeok Innopolis is a strong government-led and top-down structure, which has features of inclusiveness and flexibility such as umbrella policy. Third, the Daedeok Innopolis can be seen that adaptive or renewal development, as while, it can be applied fine adjustment the innovation cluster policy towards the recognition of innovation obstacle at each dimensions of the life cycle. Therefore, these discussions expose what kind of policy interventions should be addressed to form and develop the innovation cluster according to the cluster life cycle, as while, the development of adaptive policies during the risk and take-off period. Ultimately, the study provides that a different kind of policy instruments and tools should be implemented according to innovation cluster development and its distinctive characteristic per each dimensions of the cluster life cycle.
