This paper analyzes a mechanism through which product market competition affects allocation of the managerial efforts. There are two types of firms, incumbents and entrants. Each incumbent firm delegates its control to a manager and cannot observe the manager's total effort. The managers of incumbent firms allocate their effort to two different activities: cost reduction (productive effort) and rent protection (unproductive effort). An increase in competition, measured by the number of incumbent firms, has two effects: an "output effect" which decreases the managerial incentive for productive effort, and an "effort substitution effect" that makes managers exert more productive effort and less unproductive effort. This paper identifies the conditions under which product market competition lowers the cost of providing incentives for productive effort and hence, to the conclusion that increased competition leads to increased efficiency.

The purpose of this paper is to measure the productive efficiency and competitive strength of Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office using the DEA. Using EMS(Efficiency Measurement System) which is LP solver, quantifies in one way or another a "distance" to the efficient frontier of the technology. An input oriented measure quantifies the input reduction which is necessary to become efficient holding the output constant. Symmetrically, an output oriented measure quantifies the necessary to become efficient holding the inputs constant. A non-oriented measure quantifies necessary improvements when both inputs and outputs can be improved simultaneously. According to the analysis result of the DEA method, inefficient Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office should recommend benchmarking reference Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office in order to enhance the productive efficiency of port administration and a public institution. Besides data on productive efficiency serves as a tool for policy-makers at all levels of activity and is essential for improving the efficiency with which the various systems operate.

Using data envelopment analysis, this paper annually estimates Malmquist total factor productivity indices and decomposes them into productive efficiency change, technical change, and scale change components for three publicly-owned rail transit properties: the Seoul Subway Corporation(SSC), the Seoul Metropolitan Electrified Railways Sector of Korea National Railroad (SMESRS) and the Busan Urban Transit Authority (BUTA). The paper then conceptualizes that the property produces a single output(car-kilometers) using four inputs(labor, electricity, car and maintenance, and track) and uses unbalanced panel data consisted of annual observations on SSC, SMESRS and BUTA. The results show that the average annual growth rate of productivity of the three properties is 6.6 percent, which is 0.5 percent less than the average annual increasing rate of their labor price. They also show that the greatest part of the growth in productivity is explained by technical change and to a lesser degree by scale change and changes in productive efficiency though each of the three components contributes more than 20 percent to the growth in productivity, These results suggest that the three properties should base the increasing rate of their wages on the growth rate of their productivity and utilize existing technologies more efficiently prior to introducing new ones to raise their productivity, and that all the three components should be considered to evaluate their productivity more correctly.

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.

외국인투자 유치를 통해 국내산업의 생산성을 향상시키는 것이 중요한데 외국인투자가 한국의 산업생산성에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지에 대한 실증연구가 전무한 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 기업데이터를 이용하여 외국인투자의 생산성효과를 추정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 상기 분석을 통해 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 외국인소유기업의 노동생산성이 높다. 둘째, 외국인투자의 생산성 파급효과는 양(+)의 효과를 가지나 통계적으로 유의하지 않다. 즉, 생산성 파급효과가 미미하다고 볼 수 있다. 이상의 결론은 매우 중요한 시사점을 갖는다. 우선 외국인투자기업이 선진기술 및 경영노하우를 전수할 능력을 가졌을 가능성을 시사한다. 외국인투자를 유치하는 중요한 이유 중의 하나인 선진기술 및 경영노하우 전수의 전제조건인 외국인투자기업의 기술 및 노하우 소유가 실제로 성립할 가능성을 시사한다. 하지만 외국인투자가 국내산업 전반의 효율성 제고로 이어지는 데는 아직 장애요인이 존재함을 암시한다. 경쟁규율이 확립되지 않았거나 기술파급을 위한 제도적 여건이 미비한 것이 원인일 가능성이 있다. 따라서 정책적인 시사점은 어떻게 기술파급효과를 극대화할 것인가에 집중된다. 경쟁에서 낙오한 기업의 퇴출을 확실히 제도화함으로써 외국인투자의 경쟁압력이 기업의 효율성 증가로 이어지도록 해야 할 필요가 있으며 각종 반경쟁적 관행 또는 행위를 단속할 수 있는 경쟁정책의 확립이 요구된다. 또한 노동시장의 유연성 제고, 산업입지정책의 효율화 등을 통해 외국인투자의 기술이전 및 확산효과가 극대화되도록 해야 할 것이다.

현대의 생산환경에서 널리 사용되고 있는 생산시스템의 형태는 FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System, 유연생산 시스템)로, FMS 는 다품종 소량생산과 생산성 향상이라는 두 가지 목표에 가장 적합한 형태라고 할 수 있다. 하지만 FMS에는 시스템의 효율을 저하시키는 blocking, starving, deadlock 등이 존재하며 이들의 영향을 줄이고자 재공재고의 일시적 저장공간인 버퍼를 설치하게 된다. 시스템내의 제약으로 인해 버퍼의 총 용량은 제한적이므로, 효율적인 버퍼관리는 시스템 성능 향상을 가능하게 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 FMS의 각 Workstation의 작업량을 고려한 버퍼 할당을 통해 시스템 효율 향상을 추구하고, 시뮬레이션 과정을 통해 검증해 보고자 한다.

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.

Efficiency of the construction process is one of the most important factors to project success. However efficiency is not well defined or measured in construction projects in general. More importantly, efficiency of the construction should be viewed through the life-cycle of the whole production system not in a single phase of the construction process. Therefore, this study defines the concept of efficiency and suggests the efficiency measurement model in construction. As a case study, the suggested model was applied to the curtain wall construction process of the high rise buildings as well.

This study analyzes the efficiency of 25 shipping companies in Korea over the period 2005-2009, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Among 31 companies that listed in order of decreasing sales volume for the period 2006-2010, the sample companies has been selected on the ground of data availability. This study computes the companies' efficiency, estimates their year-on-year Malmquist productivity index, and analyzes the cause leads to the changes in the productivity, In particular, this study attempts, by dividing the companies into two group, listed or not, to compare the changes in the productivity and analyze the reasons. The results from static analysis based on CCR and BCC model indicate that listed companies are higher efficient than unquoted companies. The results from tests on the productivity changes based on the Malmquist productivity index show that 19 unquoted companies increase their average productivity by 16.2 percent year after year during the period but 6 listed companies increase by 0.5% during the same period.
