Objectives: This study aimed to develop nutrition education program for consumers to reduce sodium intake based on social cognitive theory (SCT). Methods: The main factors of SCT related to low sodium diet were investigated by using focus group interview (FGI) with 30 women who participated in consumer organizations. Results: The main target groups for the education program were housewives (H), parents (P), and the office workers (OW), for which we considered their influences on other people and the surroundings. According to the results of FGI, in carrying out low sodium diet, 'positive outcome expectation' were prevention of chronic disease and healthy dietary habit, and 'negative outcome expectation' were low palatability of foods, difficulty in cooking meals, and limited choice of foods. The contents of the program and education materials were individualized by each group to raise self-efficacy and behavioral capability, which reflected the results of the FGI. The program included 'salt intake and health' to raise positive outcome expectation. For improving the ability to practice low-sodium diet, the program contained the contents that focused on 'cooking' and 'food purchasing' for H, on 'purchasing and selection of low-sodium food with the children' for P, and on 'way of selecting restaurant menu' for OW. Also the program included 'way of choosing the low-sodium foods when eating out' with suggestions on sodium content of the dishes and snacks. Further, 'dietary guidelines to reduce sodium intake' was also suggested to help self-regulation. Conclusions: This nutrition education program and education materials could be utilized for the community education and provide the basis for further consumer targeted education program for reducing sodium intake.

Health Belief Model is a socio-psychological theory of decision making to individual health-related behaviors. This study was aimed to develop an effective education program for hypertension based on health belief model. The main factors of health belief model were investigated by focus group interview (FGI) with 23 hypertensive or prehypertensive subjects aged over fifty years. 'Perceived susceptibility' to hypertension was family history, neglect of health care, preference for salty food, broth of soup and stew. Lifelong medication, complications, and medical costs were reported as 'perceived severity' of hypertension. 'Perceived benefits' of hypertension management were decrease of medicinal dose, reduction of medical costs, and healthy eating habits of the family, while 'perceived barriers' were lack of palatability of low salt diet, convenience-oriented dietary habits, and limited choice of foods when eating out. Subjects mentioned TV health programs, public health center programs, and advice from doctors and family as 'cues to action' of hypertension management. These qualitative information provided basis for developing a nutrition education program for hypertension which could be implemented in the public health center. Eight week program was composed of understanding hypertension, risk factor management (eating habits, weight), low salt diet (principles, cooking), advanced management for healthy diet in 2 sessions, and summary. Each session was designed to alert the susceptibility and severity, to emphasize the benefits, and to reduce the barriers by providing dietary monitoring, practical advice, and action tips.

Fashion stress is a pertinent aspect of modern consumer culture that has been underexplored in academic research. This study developed a conceptual framework of fashion stress and a multidimensional scale to measure consumers' fashion stress. The qualitative study included literature reviews on consumption stress, shopping stress, and consumer behavior, as well as focus group interviews to gain insight into various dimensions of fashion stress. NVivo 12.0 was used to analyze the qualitative data and identify core categories following the grounded theory methodology. The quantitative study involved a preliminary and a primary surveys to verify the validity and reliability of the fashion stress scale. A total of 220 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results show that fashion stress consists of eight factors: care, shopping, fit, brand, financial, closet, style, and disposal. Choice difficulty plays a significant role in all factors of fashion stress. Moreover, shopping stress had a negative impact on impulse buying, while other factors such as fit, brand, closet, and disposal stress had a positive impact on impulse buying. Thus, fashion stress is a potential antecedent of impulsive consumer behavior. The results also confirm the validity and reliability of the scale. The fashion stress scale developed in this study offers researchers a valuable tool for assessing and understanding consumer experiences.

This study aims to analyze the policy change which is caused by conflicts between interest groups when the Separation of the Prescribing from the Dispensing of Drugs (SPDD) was enforced. With the theory of New Institutionalism, the reason why the policy was to be changed can be explained by the concept of property right and transaction cost. As the government did not consider the change of property right and transaction cost between actors before introducing new institution, it was hard to adapt the SPDD. Though, under the established institution, the institutional change can cause the alteration in property right and transaction cost, government just focused on the new institution's execution. Therefore, the group which suffers the loss could not accommodate to the change of institution. For this reason, the adaptation of SPDD also caused huge conflicts between doctors and pharmacists. Then, this research shows that the reason why they conflict to the some issues in the content of PSPDD and why the issues was changed with the property right and transaction cost.

'스케일업(scale-up)'은 '스타트업(startup)'에 이어 기업 현장이나 정책 현장에서 모두에서 중요한 주제로 다루어지고 있다. 특히 산업계와 정책 분야에서는 범용적으로 사용되는 용어임에도 불구하고, 학술적인 측면에서는 이에 대한 '개념 정의' 조차도 이루어지지 못했다. 학술적인 측면에서의 '기업 성장(firm growth)'과 경영 현장에서의 '비즈니스 성장(business growth)'은 서로 다른 이해를 갖고 있는 실정이다(Achtenhagen et al., 2010). 기업의 성장과 관련한 그간의 관련 연구는 Penrose(1959)의 '자원의 결합체(bundle)로서의 기업'과 '관리자의 역할론' 관점에서 크게 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 경제학 이론 및 배경을 기초로 주로 성장 요인 및 패턴을 살피는 차원에서의 연구가 주류를 이루고 있다. 기업의 경영현장에서 관심을 갖는 '스케일업' 맥락의 연구, 즉 상대적으로 성장의 속도와 지속성-일정기간의 '매출액 연평균 성장률'-관점의 연구는 활발히 이루어지지 못하였다. 기업의 초기 단계에는 매출액 규모가 작기 때문에 연간 단위 매출액 성장률은 상대적으로 높은 특성을 지닌다. 그러나, 한국 기준 '중견기업'으로 분류되기 시작하는 연간 매출액 1천억원 이상 수준이 되면 기업의 성장률은 이전과 같이 높은 수준을 보이기 쉽지 않다. 본 연구의 표본이 되는 최근 3년간의 연평균 매출액 성장률이 15% 이상 되는 '고성장 기업' 5천개 중 매출액 1억 달러 이상 기업은 6.7%인 333개에 한정된다. 그만큼 일정한 기업 규모 이상의 수준에서 지속적인 '고성장'을 보인다는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는, 기업/산업 미디어인 'Inc.'의 '2020 고성장(fastest-growing) 기업 5,000' 리스트 중 연간 매출액 1억 달러(원화 약 1천2백 억원) 이상 기업 333개를 대상으로, 1) 고성장 기업군(최근 3년-2016~19년- CAGR 15%~39.9%), 2) 초고성장 기업군(40.0%~99.9%), 3) 슈퍼 고성장 기업군(100% 이상)으로 구분 짓고, 각 성장속도 군 별 특성을 심층적으로 분석해 보았다. 또한, 기업의 매출액 성장률과 개별 기업의 전략 선택(시장 지향성, 본원적 전략, 성장 전략, 선도 전략), 산업 및 시장 환경, 기업의 업력 간의 상호관계를 양적 탐색을 통해 규명하였다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 개별 기업의 측면에서는 성장전략의 경로와 요인을 조합하여 구성하는 '초고성장 모델(Hyper-Growing Model)'을 참고할 수 있도록 하고, 정책적인 측면에서는 기업의 성장을 촉진하기 위해 어떤 요소나 환경을 '최적 유효 조합'의 형태로 다루어야 하는지 그 참고를 제공하고자 한다. 그리고 학술적인 측면에서는 21세기 기업환경에서 '스케일업 이론' 및 '기업 성장 이론'을 후속적으로 연구 하는데 그 기초 참고를 제공하고자 한다.
