The paper discusses application of soft OR methodologies, which have been developed for last decades centered in European OR communities, to strategy formation process. It is shown that there is strong similarity in understanding of strategy formation between descriptive school of strategy and the research trend of soft OR. The focus and philosophical background of cognitive school of strategy, in particular, share much in common with soft OR school. The analysis and overview of several soft OR methodologies are introduced. It is also proposed that SODA can be utilized more directly to the strategy formation process. However, it is also noted in this paper that the epistemological issues should be considered and resolved for fluent investigation of soft OR methodologies in relation with existing rich strategic research works, for soft OR adopts interpretative research methods while strategy research generally lies on positivistic approaches.

Although the methodological literature is replete with advice regarding the development and validation of multi-item scales based on reflective measures, the issue of index construction using formative measures has received little attention. The aim of this paper is to enhance researchers' understanding of formative measures of high-order factor and assist them in their index construction efforts. This article is also to provide some insights into the nature of formative indicators for researchers to reach an informed choice as to the appropriate high order formative measurement model for their needs. We first provide a brief background on formative indicators, drawing from the limited and fragmented literature on the topic. Next we give an example of constructing an index based on actual survey data and highlight the procedures used to assess its quality. We conclude the article with some thoughts about the use of indexes in empirical studies.

As past paradigm discussion was restricted to the political issues and related antagonistic ideologies, there are desires to reignite discussion from the concrete theological practices and differences in methodological variations. Interactive Study does not require mere antithesis phase but requires interactive study creation as phase itself. The purpose of this study is to analyze quality methodology cases, and to provide basic data for the application of the methodology. For this purpose, current Journalism and Mass communication discussions will be examined and characteristics of quality study and traditional methodology types will be scrutinized. In further, researches in the scientific journals of Korean Association for Communication and Information Studies will be analyzed to point out trend of quality methodology. The scope of analysis includes theological background and methodology, sampling method, data collecting method, reliability analysis. Appliance of quality research method requires more rigid and detailed methodological discussions and applications.

The traditional methodology of Korean regional studies had been shifted by geographic thoughts and philosophy as follows; Environmentalism or Environmental determinism stemming from geomancy were dominant methodology in the Korea era. An idiographic approach was introduced based on the encyclopedic description of geographic factors of villages for the centeralization of power in the Chosun era. A systematic geography that pursues scientific laws of regional differences which results from the interactions of human and nature had emerged through field works of some practical school in the later Chosun era.

What are the meanings of abduction as a methodology of Cultural Studies? By contextualizing Charles Sanders Peirce's logic of abduction in the discipline of Cultural Studies, I explore the epistemological discussion on the modern scientific research methodology of social sciences. Abduction is a kind of logical inference, which is often associated with guessing or intuition. Peirce's method of abduction and Cultural Studies' contextual formation in effect address an alternative methodology to positivism. Criticizing the modern Eurocentric structure of knowledge construction, I suggest that the virtue of abduction, as a logic of discovery, should be re-discovered in the context of Cultural Studies. Abduction holds important lessons for Cultural Studies as well as social sciences in general because of its focus on intuition, empathy, and intellectual collaboration. Through its elaboration of the logic of abduction, Cultural Studies is able to maintain not only its epistemological ground but also its methodological communicability.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the generality and applicability of Team-Based Learning model in a technical high school, based on the interviews with students and a teacher. Team-Based Learning model seems to be an effective way in improving the performance of groups as well as the individualized learning and team interaction. We applied a formative research method and identified the strengths of the model including learners' motivation and interests, learner-centered learning, self-efficacy through learning in advance, and concept acquisition from the repetitive learning process. However, we also found the weakness of the model including impracticality of instructional design, a lack of field-oriented problem banks, and needs for identifying learner characteristics and role in instruction. Finally, we analyzed the implications for the Team-Based Learning in the technical high schools in light of team formation, discussion types, active participation, and learners' prior knowledge and attitude, and pre-determined instructional design.

Recently, community computing has been proposed for group formation and group decision-making. However, legacy community computing systems do not support group need identification for ad hoc group formation, which would be one of key features of ubiquitous decision support systems and services. Hence, this paper aims to provide a multi-agent based methodology to enable nomadic community computing which supports ad hoc need identification and group formation. Focusing on supporting group decision-making of relatively small sized multiple individual in a community, the methodology copes with the following three characteristics: (1) ad hoc group formation, (2) context-aware group need identification and (3) using mobile devices working in- and out-doors. NAMA-US, an RFID-based prototype system has been developed to show the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper.

인지의 주체로서 마음을 연구하는 인지과학은 인간 마음이 가지고 있는 본성을 탐구하고 인간이 가지고 있는 정보전달체계(information processing system)를 밝힘으로써 미를 컴퓨터에 응용하려는 것이 그 목적 중의 하나이다. 이러한 맥락에서 인식론도 어떤 명제를 믿는 것이 정당성을 갖느냐, 다시 말해서, 어떤 명제를 믿어야 하느냐는 규범적 문제보다는 실제로 우리가 어떻게 믿음을 형성하고 있느냐는 서술적인 문제에 중점을 두는 자연주의적 인식론이 큰 세력을 얻게 되었다. 자연주의적 인식론의 대두와 함께, 그것이 규범적인 문제를 다루는 전통적인 인식론과 이떠한 관계가 있는가에 많은 철학자들이 관심을 표명하였다. 그 중 콰인(W. V. O. Quine)은 자연주의적 인식론이 전통적인 인식론을 대체해야 한다는 급진적인 주장을 하였으며, 콘블리쓰(Hilary Kornblith)는 전통적인 인식론과 자연주의적 인식론이 같은 목표를 향한 다른 방법론을 쓰는 것이므로 적어도 전통적인 인식론자들은 자연주의적 인식론의 영향을 받아야만 한다고 단언하였다. 본고에서는 이 두 사람의 논증을 살펴보고 전통적인 인식론과 자연주의적 인식론이 얼마나 밀접하게 연결되어 있는가를 검토해 보기로 하겠다.

본 논문은 도시에 대한 새로운 인문학적 담론이 형성되고 도시의 이미지 개선을 위한 다양한 마케팅 전략 수립을 통한 방법론이 제시되고 실행되는 과정에 주목하고자 한다. 이와 같은 상황을 고려하여, 본 연구에서는 케빈 린치(Lynch, K)의 ‘실체적 이미지’의 도시이론을 통해 도시와 지역이 어떻게 ‘시간’과 ‘공간’의 기능으로서 작용하고, 도시 이미지 형성과 장소의 역할을 하고있는 미국 서부지역의 Santa Monica 도시의 ‘상징적 이미지’를 통해 어떻게 도시 기능이 유기적 관계가 형성되고 있는지 살펴보고자 한다.

전자상거래를 위한 인터넷의 웹사이트 구축 문제는 기업이나 조직의 중요한 새로운 마케팅 창구로서의 역할 때문에 그 중요성을 인식하고 효과적 디자인을 기반한 사이트구축이 이슈화 되었다. 그리하여 성공적인 인터넷 비즈니스를 위한 웹사이트의 구축 방법론이나 가이드라인의 연구가 필요하게 되며, 최근 소비자의 행동을 분석하여 이를 소비자 구매욕구를 증진시키는 방안으로 활용하여 전략적인 웹사이트를 구축하도록 제시하는 많은 연구들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 전략적인 관점에서 웹사이트를 구축하거나 이미 구축된 웹사이트를 전략적 관점에서 개편하려고 할 때 사용될 수 있는 뚜렷한 방법론이 존재하지 않기 때문에 이런 관점의 분석모형이 절대적으로 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전략 형성과정에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Map)을 소개하고 이를 바탕으로 보다 구체적인 웹사이트 디자인 요소를 분석, 평가 할 수있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 FCM기반의 분석은 웹사이트의 성공요인들로 꼽히는 요인들간의 인과관계를 고려하여 웹사이트 구축의 요인간의 영향력의 민감도 분석을 할 수 있는 접근법으로서의 활용도가 기대된다.
