In this study, we conducted an in-depth literature review of the innovation characteristics of nuclear technology. We understood that the main issue may be a transition of fourth generation nuclear energy technology. We also analyzed a present status of Korean policy on nuclear energy technology and identified some implications for a successful settlement of the fourth generation nuclear energy technology. This study could provide some policy implications for maintaining the sustainable competitiveness of the fourth generation nuclear energy technology in Korea. According to our study, the factors that influence on a transition of nuclear energy technology are a policy-induced market for technical application and demonstration, stable and long-term resource allocation, constant interaction among stakeholders of innovation, accumulation of skill and know-how for an entire system. In addition, we conducted a case analysis on policy for Korean fourth generation nuclear energy technology. According to this case study, it would be necessary for Korea to pursue systematic training of human resources, active response to a social acceptance and reaction, establishment of specific plan for technical demonstration, long-term policy suggestion, and active promotion of constant interaction between stakeholders.

Since 1990s, despite the emergence of innovative telecommunication services in accordance with technological changes, only few services have attained satisfactory number of subscribers, and create revenues. As with other products or services, the possibility for the success of new telecommunication services is low, thus a systematic business strategy by businesses is required to achieve market success with broadband wireless Internet. For the current broadband wireless Internet to successfully enter the early market with an early growth, a customer oriented market strategy and service provisioning strategy is inevitable. In this study based on the market survey of individuals and business customers, the customer demand and related needs of broadband wireless Internet have been analyzed in depth. Then with the analysis and establishment of the killer applications and market segmentation, market development strategy is proposed.

This paper analyzes the demand characteristics of DMB services using survey data. According to a Logit analysis, the willingness to adopt the services is higher if the would-be user is male, is better informed with the service, is watching TV longer, and is spending more for the telecommunications services. And the survey results tell us that for the stimulation of the service, efforts should be made to increase the level of public awareness of the services. The survey response from the would-be DMB users shows that the respondents who value the nationwide coverage and the numbers of channel are more inclined to use the satellite DMB service. On the other hand, the service charge and the availability of the terrestrial broadcasting channel for the time being does not seem to influence the intention of using the terrestrial DMB service. It could be interpreted that the potential user are deciding whether to use the service more by the quality and contents of the service rather than by the cost of the service.

Despite recent changes in life style, the content called bookstore has steadily stood by our side, changing its shape. In this environment, This manuscript is a quantitatively empirical study that individual innovation affects a combined bookstore's service design factors and the user's intention to word of mouth. Researchers believed that individual innovation would affect a combined bookstore's service design factors. It was also assumed that there would be considerable causality between the combined bookstore's service design factors deduced through prior study. Furthermore, the assumption that these parameters would affect internal variables, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and satisfaction, word of mouth intentions was presented, and verified using An Integrated Model of Extended Technology Acceptance Model and Post Acceptance Model. Researchers expect that this research will contribute significantly in that it is a developer's approach to the combined bookstore that are seen as major tenants in large retail facilities.

전력 규제완화, 지구환경문제 등의 사회환경 변화와 IT화를 비롯한 기술혁신으로 전력시스템을 둘러싼 환경이 크게 변화하고 있다. 이러한 동향을 두 개의 축으로 구분하여 분석해 보고자 한다. 하나의 축은 사회제도의 변화축이고 또 하나의 축은 전력의 공급측과 수용가측으로의 분류이다. 이 두 개의 축으로 나눌 수 있는 4개의 분야별로 새로운 비즈니스 동향과 그에 맞는 기술개발의 방향을 소개한다. 전력거래를 위한 시스템 개발, 수용가토털서비스의 인프라 만들기, ESCO 등의 에너지절약 비즈니스. 기설기기의 라이프사이클을 통한 코스트다운 등이 각 분야에 대응한 니즈라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 가운데 전력시스템을 구성하는 네트워크 중 노드에 해당하는 변전소의 역할에 대한 변혁이 요구되고 있으며, 사회적 니즈인 라이프사이클을 통한 코스트다운을 지향한 변전소의 설계를 실시하기로 하였다. 기기의 코스트는 주어진 기능수에 대하여 비선형 특성을 갖고 있다. 그 때문에 기능 삭감에 의한 코스트다운은 참뜻의 코스트저감으로 이어지는 것은 아니다. 필요한 기능만을 쌓아올리는 설계가 필요하다. 이제까지, 하드웨어만으로 구성되어 있던 변전소에 소프트웨어를 도입하여 시스템으로서의 인텔리전스를 부가하도록 요망되고 있다. 어디까지 소프트웨어를 늘릴 수 있는지 그 최적화도 검토하고 있다. 변전소의 인텔리전트화의 니즈를 살펴보았다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find factors affecting the acceptance intention of autonomous mobility service by applying the unified technology acceptance theory(UTAUT). Methods: The measurement items for each component of this study were modified to meet the purpose of the study by referring to previous studies related to mobility based on UTAUT, which has secured validity and reliability in many studies. The collected data through the online survey were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. Results: It was found that performance expectation, effort expectation, social influence, and facilitation conditions for autonomous mobility service had a positive effect on acceptance intention. Also, in this relationship, it was confirmed that driving experience moderated the relationship between performance expectation and acceptance intention, and between effort expectation and acceptance intention. Conclusion: Understanding the public's acceptance of autonomous mobility services, and suggesting strategic implications for the direction of service development to companies that are pushing to enter the autonomous mobility service market.

This study conducted a quantitative research on the artistic perception and acceptance of value among buyers of commodified digital art known as NFT artworks. NFTs, digital assets, have shown rapid growth as investment products, but recently there has been a trend of declining value. However, NFT art, characterized by uniqueness and scarcity, continues to undergo continuous development to create new opportunities and values. Nonetheless, there are also negative opinions regarding NFT art itself as a form of technological art, as well as concerns about copyright disputes and fears of a bubble due to the conversion of physical artworks into NFTs. Predicting the value of artworks targeting specific demographics is difficult, and the value of innovative art such as NFT art, which changes along with the fluctuation of cryptocurrency values, is even more challenging to predict. Therefore, through research on the buyers who play a crucial role in the growth and development of this new form of art, the study aims to contribute to the expansion of NFT art.

The purpose of this study was to explain the attitudes and acceptance toward the smart clothing adopted by the TAM(Technology Acceptance Model). A theoretical model on consumer acceptance of the commercialized smart clothing was constructed on the basis of previous studies and a review of literature and tested the path analysis. For the data analysis, statistical methods of confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and covariance structural analysis using AMOS 5.0 package were employed. The results from a web-based survey of 557 online consumers indicate that the TAM by Davis(1989) adopted by perceived value according to market price was able to explain consumer acceptance of smart clothing substantially well. Using structural equation modeling, eight of the six hypotheses investigated in this study were supported. The results of the testing of the hypothesis were as fellows: First, perceived ease of use had a side effect on attitude through perceived usefulness. In addition, the attitude was found to affect consumer acceptance. Second, perceived usefulness was found to affect consumer attitude on perceived value, however, had not significant effect on consumer acceptance toward smart clothing. Third, perceived value was found to affect both consumer acceptance and attitude toward smart clothing. Finally, the attitude toward smart clothing had a direct effect on the consumer acceptance.
