The present study attempted to test the effects of using external knowledge services on corporate management performance among SMEs. A survey of SMEs that had used external knowledge services was conducted for the analysis. The findings are as follows. First, regarding government-supported knowledge services for SMEs, knowledge service expert groups' competencies and government's support policies had positive effects on the quality of knowledge services. In particular, the knowledge service expert groups' competencies had more significant effects on the quality of knowledge services than the government's support policies. Second, the quality of knowledge services had significantly positive effects on management performance, whilst confidence-related knowledge service quality factors exerted significant effects on enhancing the relationship with customers and the informationization of knowledge. These findings have the following implication and meaning. The present findings indicate that the government's policy to foster and lay the foundation for knowledge service industry should be furthered, e. g. knowledge service supports for individual companies including knowledge service support projects and systems for SMEs and institutional supports for knowledge service companies and expert groups. In sum, this study is meaningful in that it suggests an effective and efficient policy direction for government's knowledge service provision projects.

With the intensity of competition and the standardization of technical attributes in telecommunications service market increasing, differentiated activity and customer experience in service encounter is regarded as an important means for creating customer value, however, there is a dearth of good literature examining what MOT activity is composed of according to consumption chain, and how service quality of MOT has influenced customer performance. Especially there exist various services across different phase of Product life cycle(PLC) in household telecommunication service market, customer requirement for MOT might depend on whether its phase is introduction-growth stage or maturity-decline stage, the empirical study is completely lacking. This study classified household telecommunication services into two types by PLC, VOIP and IPTV as Introduction-growth stage services, Internet and PSTN as maturity-decline stage service, and investigated whether there exists a gap between service types in how consumer have experienced MOT, what they consider as important and the relative importance of quality dimension how service quality of MOT has influence on consumer performance. The empirical result from 858 participants shows that there is a difference in consumer experience and requirements across different phases of the PLC, tangibles and assurance are regarded as the most important service quality factors which have a positive influence on customer performance (consumer satisfaction, repurchase intention and word of mouth) at the introduction-growth stage, whereas, reliability, empathy and interactivity are at the maturity-decline stage. Finally, managerial implication is made, limitation is clarified and a direction for further studies is suggested.

IT 거버넌스(Governance)는 IT 관련 의사결정에 있어서 기업 내부 주체들의 권한과 책임, 의사결정 조직체계와 프로세스, 의사소통 방법, 의사결정 실현 체계, 조정과 통제, 그리고 의사결정에 대한 사후 평가 등을 통틀어 일컫는 말이다. IT가 기업 경영의 필수 인프라로 인식되고, 기업의 경쟁력 제고의 핵심 역량으로 자리잡으면서 IT 거버넌스의 중요성은 점차커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 주요 대기업들의 IT 거버넌스를 분석하였다. 4개의 국내 대기업들에 대한 심층 인터뷰를 바탕으로, 이들 기업들이 어떤 조직 체계와 과정, 의사소통 체계, 그리고 성과 측정 방법 등을 가지고 IT 관련 의사결정을 하는지를 살펴보았다. 국내 대기업들은 IT 서비스를 전문적으로 제공하는 IT 서비스 계열사를 이용하여 IT 기능을 아웃소싱하고 있었으며, IT 관련 최종 의사결정은 IT 전문 조직이 아닌 비즈니스를 담당하고 있는 경영자들이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 국내 대기업들의 IT 서비스에 대한 계약과 성과 측정은 서비스 수준 협약을 통해 이루어지고 있었으며, 국제적으로 인정되고 있는 프로젝트 관리 방법론과 균형성과 기록표 등도 널리 사용하고 있었다. 이러한 연구는 국내 대기업 내의 IT 서비스 전문 기업들의 미래 역할 정립과 정부 기관이나 공기업들의 IT 거버넌스 체계 확립에 있어서 벤치마킹 근거로 활용될 수 있다. 또한 국내 대기업들의 IT 거버넌스 체계의 효율성 등을 측정하기 위한 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있다.

최근 기업에서는 가치창출을 위해서 정보기술을 어떻게 활용할 수 있을지에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 IT에 대한 투자가 증가하면서 IT에 대해서 전략적으로 중요하고 IT도 하나의 비즈니스로 관리되어야 한다고 여겨지고 있다. IT에 대한 비용 절감에 대한 요구는 계속되고 있으며, 사용자들의 요구수준이 높아지고 있어서 IT서비스제공자는 합리적인 비용 구조하에 더 나은 품질의 서비스를 제공해야 하는 상황이다. 이처럼 IT서비스 관리의 중요성이 커짐에도 불구하고 아직까지는 국내에서는 IT서비스 관련된 연구나 논문들은 IT서비스 관리의 인증이나 개발에 대한 탐색적인 연구만 있을 뿐 실증적인 연구가 미흡한 실정 이다. 따라서 본 연구는 먼저 문헌 연구를 통해서 IT서비스 관리 구성요소에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 이를 뒷받침하기 위해 실제 IT서비스를 도입하고 있는 기업들을 대상으로 IT서비스 관리구성요소를 파악하였다. 본 연구의 의의는 문헌연구나 현장연구를 통해서 제시된 IT서비스관리의 구성요소를 이용하여, 차후 IT서비스관리를 통해서 IT서비스관리 성과향상에 기여할 수 있다는 점을 실증적으로 밝혀내기 위한 틀을 제공한다는데 있다.

The major purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of environmental uncertainties and logistics resources capabilities mediated by relational norms and logistics services on logistics performance in the industrial products. The 272 data were collected from the key informants who were working at the logistics-related departments in the H Heavy Industries & Construction and HSD Engine. The following results were verified using structural equation modeling. First, environmental uncertainties such as dynamism and heterogeneity unexpectedly had insignificant effects on relational norms such as information exchange and flexibility and logistics services such as product availability and on-time delivery. Second, logistics resource capabilities showed unique effects based upon its component's characteristics. For example, Logistics Information Systems did not have direct impact on logistics services but had indirect effect on logistics services via relational norms. On the other hand, logistics resources such as logistics specific assets and transportation service competencies had direct impact on logistics services but not on relational norms. Third, relational norms between transaction partners significantly affected logistics services but had insignificant effects on logistics performance such as logistics costs reduction and delivery qualities. Fourth, consistent with several studies, excellent logistics services between industrial purchaser and suppliers based upon relational norms did have significant effect on logistics performance such as delivery consistency and delivery qualities. Finally, the empirical results in this study could be strategic logistics management guidelines based upon the theoretical relationships among the environmental uncertainties, logistics information systems, logistics resources, relational norms, logistics services, and logistics performance.

This study sought to examine how internal market orientation of service organizations affects the service providers' adaptive service behavior and to determine what psychological processes go through for this purpose. To achieve this purpose, based on previous research, a research model was set up to predict that internal market orientation of service organizations will increase service providers' adaptive service behavior by continuously mediating the psychological processes of person-environment fit and work engagement. To test the hypothesis, a survey was conducted and data were collected from nutritionists at consignment catering companies located in Busan and Gyeongnam. As a result of testing the hypotheses proposed in this study's research model, internal market orientation increased person-job fit and person-organization fit, which are key elements of person-environment fit. And, it was confirmed that person-job fit and person-organization fit have a positive effect on work engagement. Additionally, work engagement improved service providers' adaptive service behavior. Lastly, this study confirmed that the influence of internal market orientation on adaptive service behavior is continuously mediated by person-environment fit and job enthusiasm.

We have made significant efforts to deeply investigate and analyze the success factors of small business owners, who play a crucial role in modern society, to gain a clear understanding of the factors that affect their business performance. We set the management capabilities of small business owners, the utilization of government support services, and policy support funds as the main variables. Our research has discovered that the management capabilities of small business owners and government support services positively influence their business performance. This means that small business owners can enhance their business performance by strengthening their capabilities and efficiently utilizing government support services. The utilization of policy support funds showed a moderating effect only on the impact of government support services on financial performance, but not on other business performances. This suggests that while the utilization of policy support funds is necessary, it is not sufficient by itself and needs to work in combination with other variables to see effectiveness. Our research proposes a new direction for the success of small business owners. Through this research, small business owners and related policy decision-makers can gain deep insights into the factors that influence the business performance of small business owners and how to effectively manage and utilize these factors. This research has made a significant contribution to academic research on business management and small business owners. Through a deep understanding of the success factors of small business owners, we have proposed new research directions and strategies that can help improve their business performance. These efforts will take us a step further in enhancing the social and economic value of small business owners.

In call centers where customers contact a firm's customer service without face-to-face interaction, customer service representatives (CSRs) determine its service competitiveness. In other words, a firm's service excellence relies on its CSRs. Drawing on the concept of agility from service and information technologies studies, this study conceptualizes customer response capability as a variable consisting of customer response expertise and customer response agility, and further verifies its effects on customer service performance. Moreover, this study examines whether a firm's digital and human knowledge resources are related to CSRs' customer response capability. To empirically test the proposed hypotheses, the partial least squares analysis is conducted with a total of 371 responses collected on CSRs from two insurance call centers. The findings indicate that a firm's digital and human knowledge resources enhance CSRs' customer response expertise and customer response agility, thereby increasing customer service performance. The results draw the conclusion that CSRs' customer response capability is a key antecedent of superior customer service.
