The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the degree of business diversification of a construction company and two of the indicators that represent financial stability, namely, a current ratio and a debt ratio, in order to draw policy implications. The current ratio and the debt ratio were used as variables that represent financial stability of a construction company. Berry-Herfindahl Index was used to measure the degree of business portfolio diversification of a construction company. For the analysis, quarterly time series data were retrieved from the financial information disclosure system of Korea's Financial Supervisory Service for the period between the first quarter of 2001 and the third quarter of 2013. The analysis results showed that a higher current ratio and a debt ratio led to a greater extent of business diversification. A higher level of business diversification led to a higher current ratio and a lower debt ratio. It was also shown that the impact of business diversification on the current ratio and the debt ratio outweighed the impact of changes in the current ratio and the debt ratio on business diversification. Meanwhile, an increase in the level of business diversification showed a quite positive effect as it raised the current ratio and lowered the debt ratio of a construction company. These findings suggest that diversification of business portfolio is essential for construction companies to strengthen their financial stability.

The next generation IT environment is expected to be an open computing environment based on Grid computing technologies, which allow users to access to any type of computing resources through networks. The open computing environment has benefits in aspects of resource utilization, collaboration, flexibility and cost reduction. Due to the variation in performance of open computing resources, however, resource allocation simply based on users' budget and time constraints often fails to meet the Service Level Agreement(SLA). This paper proposes the Mean-Absolute Deviation(MAD) portfolio optimization approach, in which service brokers consider the uncertainty of performance of resources, and compose resource portfolios that minimize the uncertainty. In order to investigate the effect of this approach, we simulate an open computing environment with varying uncertainty levels, users' constraints, and brokers' optimization strategies. The simulation result concludes threefolds. First, the MAD portfolio optimization improves the success ratio of delivering the required performance to users. Second, the success ratio depends on the accuracy in predicting the variability of performance. Thirdly, the measured variability can also help service brokers expand their service to cost-critical users by discounting the access cost of open computing resources.

전통적인 방법에 의한 PER는 단순히 그 지표의 일반적인 높고 낮음에 따라 소위 '저평가 종목'이라는 이름으로 투자자들에게 추천되고 있다. 그러나 이런 방법은 개별기업의 구체적 내용을 정확하고 종합적으로 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 전통적인 방법으로 사용되는 PER지표의 문제점을 개선코자 배당평가 모형으로부터 도출한 PER지표의 구성요소들을 독립변수로 활용 회귀분석을 했다. 그리고 이를 근거로 이론 지표를 만든 후, 그 이론 지표를 투자의사결정에 적용하였을 때의 유효성을 검증했다. PER지표를 구성하는 독립변수는 Kisor & Whitbeck(1963), Malkiel & Cragg(1970), A. Damodaran(1996)에 의해 연구된 것을 원용, PER지표의 구성요소들로 기업의 배당성향, 이익 성장을, 그리고 위험변수로서의 베타계수를 선정했다. 투자성과는 포트폴리오 투자가 일반적인 현실을 감안해 가치가중수익률을 사용한 포트폴리오의 투자성과를 측정했고, 표본은 국내 거래소 시장에 1991년부터 2001년까지 계속 상장된 금융업종을 제외한 전종목을 대상으로 했다. 실증분석에 사용된 기간은 1997년부터 2001년까지 5년 동안의 자료이며, 투자성과를 검증하기 위한 검증모형으로 위험 프리미엄 모형을 사용했다. 먼저 동 분석기간 중 전통적인 방법에 의한 PER효과는 나타나지 않았고, 아울러 기업규모 효과도 찾을 수 없었다. 그러나 회귀분석을 통해 구해진 이론 지표를 활용할 경우, 이론 지표에 비해 시장 지표가 과소 평가된 그룹이 과대 평가된 그룹과 비교할 때 투자성과가 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이론 지표를 통해 PER수준이 낮아짐에 따라 투자성과가 더 높아지는 PER효과도 발견됐다. 이와 같이 이론 지표에 의해 나타나는 PER효과는 기업규모 효과와는 독립적인 것으로 보인다. 외환위기 이후 우리시장에 나타난 차별화 장세 속에 아직도 PER효과나 기업규모 효과와 같은 시장이례 현상이 존재하는지는 관심의 대상이 됐다고 본다. 본 연구에 의하면 기업규모 효과와는 별개의 PER효과가 여전히 존재하며, 다만 이 PER 효과는 전통적 의미의 일반적으로 낮은 PER종목이 초과수익률을 내는 것이 아니라, 기업규모가 크더라도 그 기업의 개별특성을 고려했을 때 이와 비교해 상대적으로 PER가 낮은 종목에 투자하면 초과수익을 낼 수 있음을 의미한다.

Information security has become an important issue in the world. Various information and communication technologies, such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud, and artificial intelligence, are developing, and the need for information security is increasing. Although the necessity of information security is expanding according to the development of information and communication technology, interest in information security investment is insufficient. In general, measuring the effect of information security investment is difficult, so appropriate investment is not being practice, and organizations are decreasing their information security investment. In addition, since the types and specification of information security measures are diverse, it is difficult to compare and evaluate the information security countermeasures objectively, and there is a lack of decision-making methods about information security investment. To develop the organization, policies and decisions related to information security are essential, and measuring the effect of information security investment is necessary. Therefore, this study proposes a method of constructing an investment portfolio for information security measures using game theory and derives an optimal defence probability. Using the two-person game model, the information security manager and the attacker are assumed to be the game players, and the information security countermeasures and information security threats are assumed as the strategy of the players, respectively. A zero-sum game that the sum of the players' payoffs is zero is assumed, and we derive a solution of a mixed strategy game in which a strategy is selected according to probability distribution among strategies. In the real world, there are various types of information security threats exist, so multiple information security measures should be considered to maintain the appropriate information security level of information systems. We assume that the defence ratio of the information security countermeasures is known, and we derive the optimal solution of the mixed strategy game using linear programming. The contributions of this study are as follows. First, we conduct analysis using real performance data of information security measures. Information security managers of organizations can use the methodology suggested in this study to make practical decisions when establishing investment portfolio for information security countermeasures. Second, the investment weight of information security countermeasures is derived. Since we derive the weight of each information security measure, not just whether or not information security measures have been invested, it is easy to construct an information security investment portfolio in a situation where investment decisions need to be made in consideration of a number of information security countermeasures. Finally, it is possible to find the optimal defence probability after constructing an investment portfolio of information security countermeasures. The information security managers of organizations can measure the specific investment effect by drawing out information security countermeasures that fit the organization's information security investment budget. Also, numerical examples are presented and computational results are analyzed. Based on the performance of various information security countermeasures: Firewall, IPS, and Antivirus, data related to information security measures are collected to construct a portfolio of information security countermeasures. The defence ratio of the information security countermeasures is created using a uniform distribution, and a coverage of performance is derived based on the report of each information security countermeasure. According to numerical examples that considered Firewall, IPS, and Antivirus as information security countermeasures, the investment weights of Firewall, IPS, and Antivirus are optimized to 60.74%, 39.26%, and 0%, respectively. The result shows that the defence probability of the organization is maximized to 83.87%. When the methodology and examples of this study are used in practice, information security managers can consider various types of information security measures, and the appropriate investment level of each measure can be reflected in the organization's budget.

The purpose of this study was to carry out the career portfolio and the teacher-directed career exploration program in the unit of 'Industry and Career' of Technology·Home Economics and to find out how much those programs affect on career maturity and career identity in middle school students. The subjects were third-grade students who were selected at random from a middle school in Daegu. The subjects were divided into 60 for career portfolio group, 60 for teacher-directed group, and 60 for control group. Those programs were conducted totally in 9 sessions once or twice a week, and each session took 45 minutes. For pretest and post test, the questionnaire consisting of career maturity scale and career identity scale was used. To analyze data, ANCOVA was used and Scheffe test was conducted to examine significant differences between three groups. The main result of this study was the following : First, students who participate in the career portfolio and the teacher-directed career exploration program are more improved than those who have not been taught anything in determinacy and purpose of career maturity. Also, students who join in the career portfolio career exploration program are much more improved than those who join in the teacher-directed career exploration program in confidence and preparedness of career maturity. Second, students who join in the career portfolio career exploration program are more improved than those who join in the teacher-directed career exploration program in stability, goal directivity and assertiveness of career identity. Also students who participate in the lecture-oriented career exploration program are more improved meaningfully than those who have not been taught anything in the task orientation of career identity.

실명제 실시 이후인 1993년부터 1995년까지 증권거래소에 보고된 내부자 주식거래자료를 분석하여 내부자 거래의 정보효과를 보고자 하였다. 내부자 거래를 이용하면 대체적으로 내부자가 매수나 매도한 이후 주가 움직임을 예측할 수 있었으나 매수와 매도 포트폴리오의 움직임에서 차이가 발견되었다. 내부자 거래이익의 결정요인을 분석하였으나 외국의 연구와는 달리 내부자 유형에 따른 초과수익률의 차이점은 발견되지 않았다. 내부자 거래 연구에서와 같이 장기적인 성과를 연구할 경우 벤치마크의 선정이 매우 중요하다는 것을 본 연구에서 보여주고 있다. 특히 사건일 전의 주가움직임이 상승 추세를 따르면 시장모형의 경우 편의의 발생가능성이 커지는 것을 보여준다.

주가과잉반응(overreaction)이라 함은 투자자들이 특정 투자정보를 과대평가하여 주가에 반응하는 현상인데, 본 연구는 우리나라 주식시장에서의 주가과잉반응가설(株價過剩反應假說)(overreaction hypothesis)을 여러 가지의 대체적 방법을 사용하였으며, 따라서 우리나라 주식시장의 주가반전현상에 대하여 보다 체계적인 결론을 얻는데 목적을 두었다. 특히 위험요소를 고려하기 위하여 시장조정수익률모형, 위험조정수익률모형을 이용하였으며, 규모차이를 고려하기 위하여 자기자본총액에 따라 각각의 포트폴리오를 재구성하여 분석하였다. 그리고 초과수익률 산출시 대용되는 시장포트폴리오수익률을 종합주가수익률(KCI)과 동일가중주가지수수익률(EWI)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석기간은 1980년에서 1992년까지의 월별개별주가수익률을 이 용하였으며, 연구방법론에 있어서 국내의 기존연구에서 사용된 연구방법을 이용하였는데 이는 방법론차이로 인해 분석 결과가 상이해질 우려를 배제하고 일관성 있는 결론을 내림과 동시에 비교측면을 제고시키기 위한 배려였다. 이와 같은 여러 대체적 분석방법을 사용하여 얻은 결과에 따르면 국내외 여러 연구와는 달리 우리나라 주식시장에서의 주가과잉반응현상(株價過剩反應現象)은 투자자들이 입수한 정보에 대해 과민반응함으로써 주가가 본질적(本質的) 가치(價値)로부터 이탈되는 것이 아니고, 주로 기업규모효과(企業規模效果)(firm-size effect)와 신년효과(新年效果)(turn-of-the-year effect)등이 중첩(重疊)되어 나타나는 이례적(異例的) 현상(現象)(anomalies)으로 인한 주가반전현상(株價反轉現象) 이라고 말할 수 있겠다.

This study analyzes whether cooperating with various types of partners contributes to a company's innovation performance as well as the moderating effect of absorptive capacity and appropriability that may affect learning in such relationship. The hypothesis is that cooperating with diverse partners will have a positive effect on the innovation performance since it acquires their knowledge and information. In addition, an analysis is conducted on the moderating effect of absorptive capacity and appropriability on the relationship between alliance portfolio consisting various partners and innovation since absorptive capacity that encourages learning is likely to positively moderate the relationship between partner diversity and innovation while appropriability, the capacity to protect the proprietary technology, is likely to undermine learning from partners. The result of the empirical analysis on Korea's key industries, machinery and automobile, using the 2010 Korea Innovation Survey(KIS) data on manufacturing shows that cooperating with various types of technology partners has a positive effect on innovation performance and moderating effect on appropriability.
