The construction of the first nuclear power plant (Kori #1) in Korea started in 1971, Korea operates 24 nuclear power plants and is constructing 4 in 2015. During about 45 years of construction experience, insufficient studies have been investigated for the identification of critical success factors(CSFs) for nuclear power plant construction. Based on literature reviews and focus group interviews, this study presented a list of CSFs for construction of nuclear power plants. A survey for validating the results of CSFs was conducted with 164 experts. This study indicates that attentions should be placed upon the lowest price-based contract awarding policy, the need for reasonable pricing standard implementation, database development, and deployment for experienced nuclear power plant construction workers, identification and nurturing of competitive subcontractors, and minimization of lag times in construction activities.

Health care has become one of the paramount issues of the 21st century as governments and individuals grapples the complex problems associated with contemporary medical care such as cost, affordability, and shifting demographic trends. The purpose of this study was to develop the critical success factors of medical tourism for health-care organizations and to measure the wights of these factors. For this purpose, we gathered the data from doctors, travelling agencies and scholars. about the success factors of medical tourism. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to determine the factors as the Critical Success Factors of medical tourism. We did also the research to evaluate the validity and reliability of these factors. After that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to analyze the weight and significances among these factors. Factor analysis resulted in 15 major factors (Eigenvalue > 1.0). The AHP analysis showed the list of Critical Success Factors weighted by its significance priorities. The recommendable degree of reliability and validity suggests that these factors could be the valuable refences for the policy making process of the medical tourism in Korea.

Real-Time Enterprise concept comes out as an alternative to reduce the increasing uncertainty of the business environment recently. And lots of companies want to get Real-Time concept into their organizations. However, studies on RTE are not sufficient yet, from defining to realizing it. Thus, this study defines RTE activities with the RTE definition of Gartner and derives RTE critical success factors. During this study, system thinking is used to make interactions of RTE variables clear, and causal maps, generated by system thinking, are applied to derive CSF.

Recently, developing U-City as an integrated set of ubiquitous spaces has been regarded as a promising field in realizing ubiquitous computing technology. However, well-organized requirement analyses of U-City to declare what kinds of ubiquitous space services are needed and which ubiquitous computing technology should be incorporated to come up with the needs are still insufficient. Hence, the aims of this Paper are to Propose a set of unique U-City construction philosophies and to analyze which services Should be offered in the ubiquitous Space services in U-Cities. A field survey to the citizens who are potential end users of the ubiquitous space services was conducted to analyze the success factors of U-City using CSF methodology. Focused group interview with professionals in the field of ubiquitous computing technology in Korea was then performed to identify the relationship of the ubiquitous space services and the critical success factors.

This study focused on the factors that are critical to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation success. This study employed a Delphi panel to explore the characteristics of ERP project success. The expert panel was comprised of executives from Korean organizations who had participated in and were experienced with ERP implementation projects. The two round Delphi study found the importance of senior management involvement/top management support in project. Additionally, the study found that the same Critical Success Factors(CSFs) existing in large-sized Korean organizations are also applicable to small or mid-sized Korean organizations.

Recently, information technology and information system(IS) are rapidly diffused throughout the world. In the global competitive environment, the success of IS becomes the important one among the critical success factors(CSF) of the firm. For achieving it, the firm must continually involve itself in the quality evaluation and improvement of IS. The quality concept was changed into the customer-oriented quality one. There is no exception to the quality of IS. In the past, IS quality was determined by the IS developer or IS department offering service. Now it is evaluated by the user of IS service, and then the customer-oriented user satisfaction becomes an important issue. The purpose of this study is to develope the total quality evaluation model of IS through TQM approach. First, all success factors of the domestic IS are extracted from the foreign and domestic literatures of IS success factors contained the technical and behavioral aspects. And the extracted factors are classified with evaluation levels for quality evaluation and developed into a total quality evaluation model. Finally the model usefulness is analyzed.

A firm is very difficult to find sustainable competitive weapons due to global competition and rapid changes in business environments. As a sequence, an increasing number of organizations are focusing their attention on utilizing knowledge management which can effectively disperse, share, and create information and knowledge. Therefore, this study is purposed to investigate success factors of knowledge management through AHP techniques, to analyze the relative importance among success factors, and to contribute to the organizations which have a plan to introduce KMS by providing theoretical background.

Since most of companies these days are utilizing the Information system actively, Information System is the most important factor which should be recovered in terms of Business Continuity. However, a lot of enterprises have been outsourcing their Disaster Recovery Center. Therefore, it is highly possible that the information system can not work well and result in the discontinuity of business when any trouble arises because of seperated plan of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. The study draws critical success factors for successful disaster recovery through researches of 42 documents. Then, factors are reviewed through interviews with consultants, experts of Business Continuity Plan and the information system officers of domestic banks. Domestic companies can make use of the study when they develop or renew Disaster Recovery Plan or Information System in terms of Business continuity.

현재 플랜트 산업이 해외 건설 부문에서 차지하는 비중은 해외 건설 수주액의 60% 이상에 달하고 있다. 하지만 시공부문의 높은 기술경쟁력에 비하여 고부가가치 창출이 가능한 설계부문은 그 기술이 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 플랜트산업의 우수설계능력 확보를 위하여 플랜트 설계단계의 성공에 대한 정의를 내리고, 플랜트 설계업무를 분석한 뒤, 설문조사를 통하여 플랜트 설계단계 프로세스의 업무별 중요도를 파악하였다. 또한 이렇게 파악된 중요도 점수를 공정관리 프로그램에 적용하였고, 이를 바탕으로 제시된 결과에 대한 전문가의 검토를 통하여 최종적으로 플랜트 설계단계의 핵심성공요인(CSF)을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 플랜트 설계단계 성공의 요인을 파악하고 확인 및 관리를 위한 요소들을 제시하여 설계단계 업무수행의 가이드라인으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 향후에는 도출된 핵심성공요인을 이용하여 플랜트의 성공과 실패를 가름할 수 있는 정량적 평가모델 개발 등의 연구가 수행될 수 있을 것이다.
