In this study, we analyzed the information asymmetry and the agency problem in major affiliated companies on the basis of the R&D investment. As a result of comparing how the R&D investment effects on major affiliated companies and the independent companies, even the achievement of R&D investment effects in a positive way to the firm value, the positive effect appears much lower on major affiliated companies comparing independent companies. In order to analyze the case, we investigated in a separate way according to the shareholding ratio and the affiliated market using the sample of the independent company and the group affiliated company. As a result of such analysis, the cause of this comes from the agency problem in major affiliated company, not the asymmetry information of affiliated company. After we analyzed the sample of the research depending on the affiliation market, we could observe there is a little impact of the asymmetry information in the outcome of the R&D investment of the major affiliated companies. In contrast, the companies which rated lower in the ratio of the shareholding appears much less in the positive effect of R&D investment compared to the companies which rated at a higher level. This phenomenon was also consistently observed when changing the research method or further subdividing the sample of companies belonging to the group based on the ownership share of major shareholders.

The priority job training program is one of key training programs in Korea. This training program has some fundamental problems. The process of selecting the detailed training jobs does not reveal the true training demand of industry sectors. The contracting-out process and control mechanism of the priority job training program show several weaknesses from the points of success conditions of contracting-out public services. In this paper, I proposed development strategies of the priority job training program. The contract period should be longer than one year so that the training institutions may invest for improving quality of training in the longer perspective and reduce transaction costs. The training fee pay mechanism should be more performance-based.

Association of South East Asian Nations(ASEAN) has recently decided to develop ASEAN Highway Network to connect member countries by road in an attempt to achieve a goal of closer economic integration in the region. This entailed the necessity to newly construct or upgrade some 5,481 km of road sections to make ASEAN Highway Network functional. This study offers haw we can prioritize development of these road sections using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Particularly, it shows how individual road sections can be prioritized considering the importance of corridor or road group where the individual road section lies. It also develops how values of different evaluation criteria can be compared in the same scale. This new approach can be useful in prioritizing highway development in such cases where candidate road sections are widely scattered around the region, so detailed benefit and cost analysis is practically too demanding to carry out.

The purpose of this study is to find out the structural and developmental characteristics of inter-organizational community network of the school social work and the characteristics of direct workers and the school social work organizations delivering services to the children in low-income families, and to identify the magnitude of efficient structure for networking for the children living in Kayang-dong. By searching out the central organization and block modeling, this study attempted to show the characteristics of inter-organizational community network for the children. The research sample was 18 organizations, and the data were collected by a survey questionnaire and analyzed by SPSSWIN 12.0 and UCINET 6.29. The main results show that the social welfare organization is the central organization in almost every dimensions(information exchange, client referral, cooperation, resource exchange) and education organizations play an important role in betweenness centrality. Also it can be evaluated that the present developmental stage of the network is collaboration. Based on the research results, implications for the future practice are discussed.

In the telecommunications service industry, until now, it has been possible for Network Operators (NOs) to secure a competitive advantage to increase subscribers and profits through network investment. However, amid a big change to digital economy, network investment fails to lead to increase profits. These days platform companies without holing network infrastructure have a more competitive advantage and take more profits. This makes NOs gradually lose interest in network investment. The purpose of this paper is to find policy measures to promote network investment in digital economy. Specifically, we identify the factors influencing the network investment and promising policy measures energizing the investment, and then analyze their priorities and derive policy implications through Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP). The results of this paper show that market competition is more preferred to public intervention in promoting network investment. However, in order to guarantee and expand the universal access to network, it is necessary to consider expanding the role of the public, focusing on non-economic areas.

This study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Supportive Project for the Priority Region of Educational Welfare Investment(SPPREWI) which has been put into action in Korea as a part of national policies for poor school children. In so doing this study aimed to test SPPREWI's legitimacy as well as whether we have to continue this program or not. In order to fulfill this research purpose researchers identified several outcome indicators of SPPREWI, which represent psychosocial and cognitive adjustment. The variables pertaining to psychosocial adjustment domain are: self-concept; depression, anxiety, and suicidal impulse; inclination of assault and indignation; delinquency; school life adjustment; and change in social relations. The variables of cognitive adjustment include recognition of self-control in learning; control strategy of learning behavior; and preparedness for job hunting. In this study the quasi-experimental group contained students from schools which are under the SPPREWI. The control group was composed of students from schools which were free from SPPREWI but under the influence of deteriorating school environment. The quasi-experimental group and the control group were compared in terms of outcome indicators presented earlier. Within the quasi-experimental group both the students below poverty-line and the students above poverty-line were divided into two groups each by the level of service use, and were compared in terms of the outcome variables presented earlier. Study results supported the argument that SPPREWI was effective generally in improving students' school adjustment. Study results also showed that the variable of 'school nurturance' played a significant role in moderating the effect of SPPREWI on a couple of outcome variables specially when schools' overall educational environment was in poor condition. Implication as well as suggestion were presented on the basis of study findings.

This study aims to draw the characteristics of the regional operation system of the shared research instrument service, which contributes to the R&D investment efficiency by the avoidance of duplicated research instrument investment and the enhancement of the network collaboration. So from the perspective of technology infrastructure policy and regional innovation system, Gyeonggi region of Korean metropolitan area has been analyzed for the case study. The case study has been conducted by 2 step process of within-case analysis and cross-case analysis. Firstly, the characteristics of operation system of the shared research instrument have been examined through various research methods. Secondly, in the cross-case analysis, the examined issues and problems have been organized by the matrix of 3 organizational governance characteristics and 4 issues to facilitate the regional policy approach. The issues deducted by the cross-case analysis have been deducted as (1) 'usage fee charge system', 'relevant method for the performance index and measurement of the instrument service management' for the regional policy led case, (2) 'performance management issue', 'financial and managerial accounting system for the instrument operating division', and 'change of budget support scheme' for the joint operation case and lastly (3) 'usage facilitation after the expiration of research lab support project' for the university led case.

Because of the technological innovation of information-communication, the liberalization of world trade and the intensification of regionalisation, the world economic space is in progress of globalization that is not only a product but also a capital, technology and labour move freely over the countries. In the globalized economic space, the multinational finns accelerate a globalization of capital and labour by exporting the capital to the peripherals countries for the low cost of production and importing the low wage labour from the peripherals countries. East Asia which appeared one of the world triad economic axis with a rapid regional economic growth after 1980's intensifies the regionalisation of capital and labour. As the increase of gap in cost of production and income level among the countries, not only the direction of flows of capital and labour but also the traits of migrant labour also changes remarkably.

최초 19세기말 빙해역으로 둘러싸인 북유럽의 핀랜드 등지에서 쇄빙선을 건조하는 경험으로부터 출발하여 이제는 북극해 연안의 해저자원 개발과 더불어 극한지에 관한 종합적인 학문의 형태로 변모하고 있다. 이미 선진제국에서는 양극지방의 환경자료와 함께 상당한 양의 극한지 실험결 과를 축척하고 있다. 앞으로 개발의 손길을 기다리는 세계 도처의 빙해지역에서 막대한 양의 해저석유자원이 얻어질 것이라고 확신한다. 우선 시베리아 천연자원의 개발사업 같은 국내의 극지관련 기술수요를 창출하는 것이 급선무이지만 그와 함께 극지 자원 개발에 필요한 구조물의 제작이나 설치, 운용 등 외국으로부터의 기술수요에도 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 준비가 필 요하다. 이를 위해서는 먼저 우리 나라의 제반 경제여건에 맞는 기술부분에 계획적이고도 집중 적으로 투자하는 것만이 효율적인 해결책일 것이다. 이와 함께 선진국의 앞선 극지관련 기술을 습득하기 위한 인적교류를 확대하고 국내에서도 극지공학에 관련된 기술인력을 계속 확보하는 노력이 절실히 요구된다. 극지개발은 이론적 접근과 함께 실험에 의한 신뢰성 있는 자료를 축 적해야 한다. 국내의 조선해양산업의 경험과 기술수준으로 판단 할 때 극지관련 공학기술을 가장 빨리 정립할 수 있는 분야는 극지용 해양구조물과 빙해항행선박의 설계 및 건조기술이라 볼 수 있다.
