As the utilization of information technology and the turbulence of technological change increase in organizations, the adoption of IT outsourcing also grows to manage IT resource more effectively and efficiently. In this new way of IT management technique, service level management(SLM) process becomes critical to derive success from the outsourcing in the view of end users in organization. Even though much of the research on service level management or agreement have been done during last decades, the performance of the service level management process have not been evaluated in terms of final objectives of the management efforts or success from the view of end-users. This study explores the relationship between SLM maturity and IT outsourcing success from the users' point of view by a analytical case study in four client organizations under an IT outsourcing vendor, which is a member company of a major Korean conglomerate. For setting up a model for the analysis, previous researches on service level management process maturity and information systems success are reviewed. In particular, information systems success from users' point of view are reviewed based the DeLone and McLean's study, which is argued and accepted as a comprehensively tested model of information systems success currently. The model proposed in this study argues that SLM process maturity influences information systems success, which is evaluated in terms of information quality, systems quality, service quality, and net effect proposed by DeLone and McLean. SLM process maturity can be measured in planning process, implementation process and operation and evaluation process. Instruments for measuring the factors in the proposed constructs of information systems success and SL management process maturity were collected from previous researches and evaluated for securing reliability and validity, utilizing appropriate statistical methods and pilot tests before exploring the case study. Four cases from four different companies under one vendor company were utilized for the analysis. All of the cases had been contracted in SLA(Service Level Agreement) and had implemented ITIL(IT Infrastructure Library), Six Sigma and BSC(Balanced Scored Card) methods since last several years, which means that all the client organizations pursued concerted efforts to acquire quality services from IT outsourcing from the organization and users' point of view. For comparing the differences among the four organizations in IT out-sourcing sucess, T-test and non-parametric analysis have been applied on the data set collected from the organization using survey instruments. The process maturities of planning and implementation phases of SLM are found not to influence on any dimensions of information systems success from users' point of view. It was found that the SLM maturity in the phase of operations and evaluation could influence systems quality only from users' view. This result seems to be quite against the arguments in IT outsourcing practices in the fields, which emphasize usually the importance of planning and implementation processes upfront in IT outsourcing projects. According to after-the-fact observation by an expert in an organization participating in the study, their needs and motivations for outsourcing contracts had been quite familiar already to the vendors as long-term partners under a same conglomerate, so that the maturity in the phases of planning and implementation seems not to be differentiating factors for the success of IT outsourcing. This study will be the foundation for the future research in the area of IT outsourcing management and success, in particular in the service level management. And also, it could guide managers in practice in IT outsourcing management to focus on service level management process in operation and evaluation stage especially for long-term outsourcing contracts under very unique context like Korean IT outsourcing projects. This study has some limitations in generalization because the sample size is small and the context itself is confined in an unique environment. For future exploration, survey based research could be designed and implemented.

Social commerce has been gaining explosive popularity, with typical examples of the model such as Groupon and Level Up. Both local business owners and consumers can benefit from this new e-commerce model. Local business owners have a chance to access potential customers and promote their products in a way that could not have otherwise been easily possible, and consumers can enjoy discounted offerings. However, questions have been increasingly raised about the value and future of the social commerce model. A recent survey shows that about a third of 324 business owners who ran a daily-deal promotion in Groupon went behind. Furthermore, more than half of the surveyed merchants did not express enthusiasm about running the promotion again. The same goes for the case in Korea, where more than half of the surveyed clients reported no significant change or even decrease in profits compared to before the use of social commerce model. Why do local business owners fail to exploit the benefits from the promotions and advertisements through the social commerce model and to make profits? Without answering this question, the model would fall under suspicion and even its sustainability might be challenged. This study aims to look into problems in the current social commerce transactions and provide implications for the social commerce model, so that the model would get a foothold for next growth. Drawing on justice theory, this study develops theoretical arguments for the effects of transaction characteristics on consumers' distributive justice and purchase intention in the social commerce. Specifically, this study focuses on two characteristics of social commerce transactions-the discount rate and the purchase rate of products-and investigates their effects on consumers' perception of distributive justice for discounted transactions in the social commerce and their perception of distributive justice for regular-priced transactions. This study also examines the relationship between distributive justice and purchase intention. We conducted an online experiment and gathered data from 115 participants to test the hypotheses. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of nine manipulated scenarios of social commerce transactions, which were generated based on the combination of three levels of purchase rate (high, medium, and low) and three levels of discount rate (high, medium, and low). We conducted MANOVA and post-hoc ANOVA to test hypotheses about the relationships between the transaction characteristics (purchase rate and discount rate) and distributive justice for each of the discounted transaction and the regular-priced transaction. We also employed a PLS analysis to test relations between distributive justice and purchase intentions. Analysis results show that a higher discount rate increases distributive justice for the discounted transaction but decreases distributive justice for the regular-priced transaction. This, coupled with the result that distributive justice for each type of transaction has a positive effect on the corresponding purchase intention, implies that a large discount in the social commerce may be helpful for attracting consumers, but harmful to the business after the promotion. However, further examination reveals curvilinear effects of the discount rate on both types of distributive justice. Specifically, we find distributive justice for the discounted transaction increases concavely as the discount rate increases while distributive justice for the regular-priced transaction decreases concavely with the dscount rate. This implies that there exists an appropriate discount rate which could promote the discounted transaction while not hurting future business of regular-priced transactions. Next, the purchase rate is found to be a critical factor that facilitates the regular-priced transaction. It has a convexly positive influence on distributive justice for the transaction. Therefore, an increase of the rate beyond some threshold would lead to a substantial level of distributive justice for the regular-priced transaction, threrby boosting future transactions. This implies that social commerce firms and sellers should employ various non-price stimuli to promote the purchase rate. Finally, we find no significant relationship between the purchase rate and distributive justice for the discounted transaction. Based on the above results, we provide several implications with future research directions.

When a consumer needs a product or service and multiple sellers are available online, the process of selecting a seller to buy online from is complex since the process involves many behavioral dimensions that have to be taken into account. As a part of this selection process, consumers may set minimum trust expectation that can be used to screen out less trustworthy sellers. In the previous research, the level of consumers' trust expectation has been anchored on two important factors: product involvement and perceived risk. Product involvement refers to the extent to which a consumer perceives a specific product important. Thus, the higher product involvement may result in the higher trust expectation in sellers. On the other hand, other related studies found that when consumers perceived a higher level of risk (e.g., credit card fraud risk), they set higher trust expectation as well. While abundant research exists addressing the relationship between product involvement and perceived risk, little attention has been paid to the integrative view of the link between the two constructs and their impacts on the trust expectation. The present paper is a step toward filling this research gap. The purpose of this paper is to understand the process by which a consumer chooses an online merchant by examining the relationships among product involvement, perceived risk, trust expectation, and intention to buy from an e-tailer. We specifically focus on the mediating role of perceived risk in the relationships between enduring product involvement and the trust expectation. That is, we question whether product involvement affects the trust expectation directly without mediation or indirectly mediated by perceived risk. The research model with four hypotheses was initially tested using data gathered from 635 respondents through an online survey method. The structural equation modeling technique with partial least square was used to validate the instrument and the proposed model. The results showed that three out of the four hypotheses formulated were supported. First, we found that the intention to buy from a digital storefront is positively and significantly influenced by the trust expectation, providing support for H4 (trust expectation ${\rightarrow}$ purchase intention). Second, perceived risk was found to be a strong predictor of trust expectation, supporting H2 as well (perceived risk ${\rightarrow}$ trust expectation). Third, we did not find any evidence of direct influence of product involvement, which caused H3 to be rejected (product involvement ${\rightarrow}$ trust expectation). Finally, we found significant positive relationship between product involvement and perceived risk (H1: product involvement ${\rightarrow}$ perceived risk), which suggests that the possibility of complete mediation of perceived risk in the relationship between enduring product involvement and the trust expectation. As a result, we conducted an additional test for the mediation effect by comparing the original model with the revised model without the mediator variable of perceived risk. Indeed, we found that there exists a strong influence of product involvement on the trust expectation (by intentionally eliminating the variable of perceived risk) that was suppressed (i.e., mediated) by the perceived risk in the original model. The Sobel test statistically confirmed the complete mediation effect. Results of this study offer the following key findings. First, enduring product involvement is positively related to perceived risk, implying that the higher a consumer is enduringly involved with a given product, the greater risk he or she is likely to perceive with regards to the online purchase of the product. Second, perceived risk is positively related to trust expectation. A consumer with great risk perceptions concerning the online purchase is likely to buy from a highly trustworthy online merchant, thereby mitigating potential risks. Finally, product involvement was found to have no direct influence on trust expectation, but the relationship between the two constructs was indirect and mediated by the perceived risk. This is perhaps an important theoretical integration of two separate streams of literature on product involvement and perceived risk. The present research also provides useful implications for practitioners as well as academicians. First, one implication for practicing managers in online retail stores is that they should invest in reducing the perceived risk of consumers in order to lower down the trust expectation and thus increasing the consumer's intention to purchase products or services. Second, an academic implication is that perceived risk mediates the relationship between enduring product involvement and trust expectation. Further research is needed to elaborate the theoretical relationships among the constructs under consideration.

Given that smartphone-based social network services (SNS), such as KakaoStory is now being widely used as a way for people to connect and communicate with each other, this study examines key factors leading to the continued use of SNS. People have been using PC-based SNS, such as Cyworld, for years are now using smartphone-based SNS, such as KakaoStory. KakaoStory developed by KakaoTalk has rapidly grown up as the largest smartphone-based SNS in Korea as smartphone penetration increases. It is more difficult for firms to maintain their current users over time in that alternative SNSs satisfying people's new needs are constantly emerging and evolving. In this sense, one of the most challenging issues for SNS firms is how to retain their current users in the long run. However, there are few empirical studies on this issue. Applying the IS continuance model proposed by Bhattacherjee [2001], this study explores key determinants of users' smartphone-based SNS continuance intention. The model suggests that perceived usefulness and user satisfaction are the key determinants of IS continuance intention. However, the model includes only the utilitarian value that users can obtain through the use of smartphone-based SNS, by considering perceived usefulness. Therefore, the study attempts to extend the IS continuance model by considering hedonic and social values simultaneously. More specifically, we consider subjective norms as social value that are proposed by the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior. We also consider perceived enjoyment as hedonic value that is emphasized as a key factor influencing users' behavior intention and actual behavior, particularly in the context of hedonic IS use. By considering the three values in our model simultaneously, we could offer a deeper understanding of smartphone-based SNS continuance. That is, this study could offer an explanation of how each value is associated with user satisfaction and SNS continuance intention. The customer value-satisfaction-loyalty model can strengthen the assertion that smartphone-based SNS continuance intention is determined by various different types of customer values, such as utilitarian, hedonic, and social ones. Moreover, the model provides a theoretical basis for the assertion that customer values lead to increased loyalty via customer satisfaction. In this regard, we theorize that SNS continuance intention is influenced by users' various values, namely perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and subjective norms, via user satisfaction. To test the proposed research model and hypotheses, we conducted a partial least squares analysis using a total of 253 data collected on the users of smartphone-based SNS (i.e., KakaoStory). The key findings are as follows: First, it has been found that SNS continuance intention considerably depends on user satisfaction. Second, user satisfaction is determined by confirmation, perceived usefulness, and perceived enjoyment. Third, concerning the effects of the three values on SNS continuance intention, only perceived enjoyment regarded as hedonic value was statistically significant. That is, perceived usefulness considered as utilitarian value and subjective norms considered as social value had no effect on SNS continuance intention. Finally, our results indicate that confirmation increases perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and user satisfaction. The results reconfirm the effectiveness of IS continuance model in predicting smartphone-based SNS continuance intention. Moreover, the results demonstrate that perceived enjoyment reflecting hedonic value is the most important predictor of SNS continuance intention. Therefore, it is imperative for firms to meet SNS users' hedonic value to retain them in the long run. Meanwhile, we could not find any empirical evidence to support the assertion that subjective norms are associated with user satisfaction and SNS continuance intention. The results lead us to conclude that when users have enough direct experience in SNS use, subjective norms have no effect on SNS continuance intention. Discussions and implications of the results are provided.

항산화 활성이 우수할 것으로 기대되는 남구절초($Dendranthema$ $zawaskii$ var. $yezoense$)와 코스모스($Cosmos$ $bipinnatus$) 지상부의 항산화 물질 함량 및 항산화 활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 효율적인 추출방법을 개발하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 추출수율은 두 종 모두 초음파추출물에서 우수하였으며, 환류냉각추출물보다 1.11-1.92배 증가되었다. 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드의 함량 또한 초음파추출물에서 우수하였다. 총 폴리페놀은 함량은 45분 동안 초음파추출한 코스모스에서 $80.70mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ DW로 가장 높았고, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 45분 동안 초음파추출한 남구절초에서 $50.41mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ DW로 가장 높았다. DPPH radical 소거능은 추출방법에 따른 차이가 없거나 환류냉각추출물이 다소 우수한 경향을 보였으며, 환류냉각추출한 코스모스 지상부 추출물의 소거능($RC_{50}=0.135mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$)이 가장 우수하였다. ABTS radical 소거능은 남구절초와 코스모스 모두 초음파 15분 추출물에서 가장 우수하였다(각각 $RC_{50}$=0.159, $0.139mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$). $Fe^{2+}$ chelating효과는 30분 동안 초음파추출한 남구절초 지상부에서 가장 높았다($RC_{50}=0.803mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$). 남구절초 지상부 추출물의 지질과산화 억제활성은 환류냉각추출물에서 가장 우수하였으나, 코스모스 지상부 추출물의 지질과산화 억제활성은 45분 동안 초음파추출한 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 연구 결과, 식물 종과 목표로 하는 항산화 효과에 따라 추출방법을 달리해야 할 것으로 생각되었다.

'후지'/M.26 회초리묘(직경 10mm)는 $4.0{\times}2.0$m, '후지'/M.9 EMLA 우량 측지묘(측지 수 5.2, 직경 13mm)는 $4.0{\tiems}1.5$m로 심어 세장방추형으로 키우면서 재식 6년 차까지의 생산성 및 수량효율을 비교하였다. M.9 EMLA 우량 측지묘 재식의 경우 재식 2년차에 이미 주당 수관용적이 $2.07m^3$에 달하였고 4년차에 $2.9m^3$의 성목 수관에 도달하였으나 M.26 회초리묘목 재식의 경우 초기 1-2년은 생육속도가 느리다가 3년차부터 수관용적이 빠르게 증가하여 5년차에야 주어진 공간을 채우는 수관용적 $5.6m^3$에 도달하였다. 10a당 수량에 있어 M.9 EMLA는 재식 2년차에 0.3톤의 사과 수확을 시작으로 5년차 4.6톤으로 성과기에 도달하였으나, M.26의 경우 3년차에 처음으로 0.5톤의 사과를 수확하기 시작하여 6년차에도 수확량이 3.8톤에 그쳤다. 재식 6년차까지의 누적생산량은 M.9 EMLA 측지묘목 재식은 13.9톤인 반면에 M.26 회초리 묘목 재식은 9.8톤에 불과하였다. 6년간 평균과중은 M.9 EMLA 308g으로 M.26의 295g에 비해 무거웠다. 결론적으로 M.9 EMLA와 같은 왜화도가 높은 대목을 이용하고 우량 측지묘를 심어 고밀식으로 재배하는 것이 M.26 대목의 회초리 묘목을 넓게 심어 재배하는 관행재배보다 2년차부터 수확이 가능하여 5년차에는 성과기에 도달하는 조기 다수확이 실현되고, 수량효율성도 높아 우월한 재배체계로 판단되었다.

최근 30년 동안 우리나라의 평균온도와 겨울철 온도가 각각 $0.7^{\circ}C$와 $1.4^{\circ}C$가 상승하였고 지속적으로 상승할 것으로 예측된다. 무는 매우 중요한 작물로 온난화에 따른 생육 모델 연구는 중요하다. 본 실험은 기상 이변에 따른 무의 생육량을 추정하기 위하여 정식시기와 질소 시비량을 다르게 처리하여 시험하였다. 파종시기는 4월 24일부터 5월 22일까지 14일 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 실시하였고, 질소 시비량은 표준시비량의 0.5, 1.0, 2.0배 수준으로 3처리를 하였다. 그 결과, 무 파종 후 2개월째 생육은 4월 24일 처리구가 5월 8일과 22일 처리구보다 지상부 생체중이 높게 나왔다. 수확량 예측을 위한 생육 모델식은 질소 시비량별 GDD에 따른 지하부 건물중은 0.5N 처리구에서는 Y = 84.66 / (1+exp (-(GDD - 790.7) / 122.3)) ($r^2$ = 0.92), 1.0N 처리는 Y = 100.6 / (1+exp (-(GDD - 824.8) / 112.8))($r^2$ = 0.92), 2.0N 처리는 Y = 117.7 / (1+exp (-(GDD - 877.7) / 148.5)) ($r^2$ = 0.94) 로 나타낼 수 있었다. 구축된 모델식에 생육데이터를 사용하여 검정한 결과를 보면 기울기가 1.05-1.12로 다소 높게 추정하였지만 모델식으로 적용하는 것에는 무리가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 봄무 생산량 예측 시 GDD를 사용하여 수확량을 예측할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
