In recent years, although numbers of corporations are bringing in PMO, they seem to be indifferent to PMO performance measurement. This demonstrates that there are also other reasons beside performance measurement of information systems (IS) project being ambiguous by introducing PMO; the lack of acknowledging the concrete function of PMO, and the scarcity of empirical study about the effect of PMO on the project members and project performance. In this sense, this study is aimed at proposing a new research model in which project success factors (i.e., standardization, management advocacy, and staff expertise) affect PMO capability (i.e., knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency) positively, leading to project performance (i.e., task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes) eventually. To empirically test the research model, data are surveyed from PMO department and IS department. To prove the validity of the proposed research model, PLS analysis is applied with valid 132 questionnaires. By employing PLS technique, the measurement reliability and validity of research variables are tested and the path analysis is conducted to do the hypothesis testing. The path analysis results can be organized into 7 ways in large scale. First, standardization of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency of PMO capabilities. The findings of this result indicate that the multiple or single project management should satisfy standardization in order to operate an effective PMO. Second, management advocacy of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency. Management advocacy refers to the willingness of management to provide the required resources and authority for project success. There is agreement among researchers regarding the importance of management advocacy for favorable PMO capability. Third, staff expertise of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency. The findings of this result indicate that the formation of an exceptional consultant or members with a proficient knowledge for staff expertise of project member is the key factor to elevate the PMO capability. Past research suggests that experience and knowledge and the resultant familiarity with the problem faced can be an important determinant of PMO capability. A capable project with appropriate staff expertise means that it enjoys a diversity of abilities and experiences. Fourth, knowledge management competency of PMO capabilities has a positive impact on psychological outcomes but has no direct effect on task outcomes and organizational outcomes. In domestic case of S. Korea, PMO was finally introduced to many other corporations in 2005 though it started bringing in 2000. Therefore, it had neither a significant impact on the task outcomes nor organizational outcomes by lacking the contents and the infrastructure of the knowledge management because the knowledge consolidation and management period of PMO is comparatively shorter by terms than other foreign nations. Fifth, resources management competency of PMO capabilities has a positive association with task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes. In addition, problem solving competency of PMO capabilities has a positive association with task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes. Therefore, the findings of this results stress that PMO capabilities has a positive impact on project performance. Sixth, according to the path analysis of the hypothesis, which suggested in this research, problem solving competency is the PMO capability which is the key success factor for task, psychological, and organizational outcomes as an integrated performance model. Further, the analysis reveals that problem solving competency is an important factor for integrated performance model. The finding is in line with past IS research, which affirms that the work of IS projects is essentially a problem solving endeavor. Seventh, in the path analysis of the hypothesis in this research, the path of the management advocacy $\rightarrow$ problem solving competency $\rightarrow$ organizational outcomes appears to be the most important and strongest path. In brief, the finding of this study suggests that project success factors influence PMO capability positively, and project performance as well. From the results, it can be concluded that PMO helped great improve the project success rate and project performance. This study advances research on PMO capability in three important aspects. First, the findings of our study have implications for IS theory and future research. Our study contributes to IS theory by synthesizing concepts from PMO research and project management research with those in IS research. We proposed and tested PMO capability of IS projects and the findings of our investigation provided some preliminary answers to some of the questions raised. Secondly, this thesis does not only help depicting the concept of IT governance but also approaches empirically. It makes a gradual approach to the main content, step by step, in contrary of simple standard, scholastic way of thinking. Finally, we argued that this task-oriented(technical) view is not sufficient to adequately conceptualize IS project performance. Hence, we applied that the research on organization teams, which provides a flip viewpoint to that of project management research in that it gives more weight for psychological outcomes of organizational work groups, can be very helpful in reconceptualizing the IS project performance construct. The limitations of this study are also discussed to provide research directions for future research.

최근 유통환경과 소비자 라이프스타일의 변화 속에서 단순히 제품을 판매하고 유통시키는 것에 그치는 것이 아닌 소매점자산을 증대시켜 고객을 획득하고 유지할 수 있는 차별화된 경쟁우위가 필요하게 되었으며, 이러한 대안으로 소매점 이미지의 중요성이 날로 커지고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 소매점의 이미지와 자아이미지 일치성이라는 요인과 고객기반 소매점자산과의 구조적관계를 조사하여 소비자들의 재이용의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 가장 큰 학문적 기여점은 소매점자산에 영향을 주는 자아이미지일치성이라는 선행 요인을 찾아내는데 있으며, 또한 소매점자산이 재이용의도에 강력한 선행요인임을 확인하는데 있어서 기존의 연구들이 보여준 Second-order Construct 유형의 소매점자산척도와 결과 변수간의 단일차원 인과관계가 아닌, 소매점자산을 구성하는 각각의 요인들과 재이용의도의 좀 더 구체적인 변수간의 구조적관계를 실증할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구는 소매점과 자아의 이미지일치성을 두 가지 차원(실제 자아이미지일치성, 이상적 자아이미지일치성)으로 나누고 소매점자산의 구성요소인 소매점인지, 소매점연상, 지각된 소매점 품질, 소매점충성도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하고 자아이미지일치성을 토대로 평가된 소매점자산 요인들이 소매점의 재이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 소매점의 이미지의 관리와 투자에 대한 마케팅 측면의 중요성을 제시하고 있다. 연구모델에 대한 분석결과 소매점-실제 자아이미지일치성과 소매점-이상적 자아이미지일치성 모두 모두 소매점자산 요인들에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 중 이상적 자아이미지일치성이 소매점자산 요인들에 미치는 상대적인 영향력이 더 크게 나타났다. 또한 소매점자산을 구성하는 각각의 요인들은 소비자의 소매점 재이용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 타겟 소비자들의 자아 이미지와 소매점의 상징적 이미지를 일치시키는 마케팅 노력을 통해 소비자들과 소매점 사이의 강력한 감정적 결속이 형성되어 해당 소매점의 자산을 높게 평가하고 지속적인 이용의도를 가져올 수 있음을 시사한다.

Consumers differ in the way they make a purchase. An audio mania would willingly make a bold, yet serious, decision to buy a top-of-the-line home theater system, while he is not interested in replacing his two-decade-old shabby car. On the contrary, an automobile enthusiast wouldn't mind spending forty thousand dollars to buy a new Jaguar convertible, yet cares little about his junky component system. It is product involvement that helps us explain such differences among individuals in the purchase style. Product involvement refers to the extent to which a product is perceived to be important to a consumer (Zaichkowsky, 2001). Product involvement is an important factor that strongly influences consumer's purchase decision-making process, and thus has been of prime interest to consumer behavior researchers. Furthermore, researchers found that involvement is closely related to perceived risk (Dholakia, 2001). While abundant research exists addressing how product involvement relates to overall perceived risk, little attention has been paid to the relationship between involvement and different types of perceived risk in an electronic commerce setting. Given that perceived risk can be a substantial barrier to the online purchase (Jarvenpaa, 2000), research addressing such an issue will offer useful implications on what specific types of perceived risk an online firm should focus on mitigating if it is to increase sales to a fullest potential. Meanwhile, past research has focused on such consumer responses as information search and dissemination as a consequence of involvement, neglecting other behavioral responses like online merchant selection. For one example, will a consumer seriously considering the purchase of a pricey Guzzi bag perceive a great degree of risk associated with online buying and therefore choose to buy it from a digital storefront rather than from an online marketplace to mitigate risk? Will a consumer require greater trust on the part of the online merchant when the perceived risk of online buying is rather high? We intend to find answers to these research questions through an empirical study. This paper explores the impact of enduring product involvement and perceived risks on required trust level, and further on online merchant choice. For the purpose of the research, five types or components of perceived risk are taken into consideration, including financial, performance, delivery, psychological, and social risks. A research model has been built around the constructs under consideration, and 12 hypotheses have been developed based on the research model to examine the relationships between enduring involvement and five components of perceived risk, between five components of perceived risk and required trust level, between enduring involvement and required trust level, and finally between required trust level and preference toward an e-tailer. To attain our research objectives, we conducted an empirical analysis consisting of two phases of data collection: a pilot test and main survey. The pilot test was conducted using 25 college students to ensure that the questionnaire items are clear and straightforward. Then the main survey was conducted using 295 college students at a major university for nine days between December 13, 2010 and December 21, 2010. The measures employed to test the model included eight constructs: (1) enduring involvement, (2) financial risk, (3) performance risk, (4) delivery risk, (5) psychological risk, (6) social risk, (7) required trust level, (8) preference toward an e-tailer. The statistical package, SPSS 17.0, was used to test the internal consistency among the items within the individual measures. Based on the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients of the individual measure, the reliability of all the variables is supported. Meanwhile, the Amos 18.0 package was employed to perform a confirmatory factor analysis designed to assess the unidimensionality of the measures. The goodness of fit for the measurement model was satisfied. Unidimensionality was tested using convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity. The statistical evidences proved that the three types of validity were all satisfied. Now the structured equation modeling technique was used to analyze the individual paths along the relationships among the research constructs. The results indicated that enduring involvement has significant positive relationships with all the five components of perceived risk, while only performance risk is significantly related to trust level required by consumers for purchase. It can be inferred from the findings that product performance problems are mostly likely to occur when a merchant behaves in an opportunistic manner. Positive relationships were also found between involvement and required trust level and between required trust level and online merchant choice. Enduring involvement is concerned with the pleasure a consumer derives from a product class and/or with the desire for knowledge for the product class, and thus is likely to motivate the consumer to look for ways of mitigating perceived risk by requiring a higher level of trust on the part of the online merchant. Likewise, a consumer requiring a high level of trust on the merchant will choose a digital storefront rather than an e-marketplace, since a digital storefront is believed to be trustworthier than an e-marketplace, as it fulfills orders by itself rather than acting as an intermediary. The findings of the present research provide both academic and practical implications. The first academic implication is that enduring product involvement is a strong motivator of consumer responses, especially the selection of a merchant, in the context of electronic shopping. Secondly, academicians are advised to pay attention to the finding that an individual component or type of perceived risk can be used as an important research construct, since it would allow one to pinpoint the specific types of risk that are influenced by antecedents or that influence consequents. Meanwhile, our research provides implications useful for online merchants (both online storefronts and e-marketplaces). Merchants may develop strategies to attract consumers by managing perceived performance risk involved in purchase decisions, since it was found to have significant positive relationship with the level of trust required by a consumer on the part of the merchant. One way to manage performance risk would be to thoroughly examine the product before shipping to ensure that it has no deficiencies or flaws. Secondly, digital storefronts are advised to focus on symbolic goods (e.g., cars, cell phones, fashion outfits, and handbags) in which consumers are relatively more involved than others, whereas e- marketplaces should put their emphasis on non-symbolic goods (e.g., drinks, books, MP3 players, and bike accessories).

본 논문은 키워드검색광고와 관련하여 의사결정자인 광고주의 입장에서 분석한 통계모델 기반 검색엔진최적화(Search Engine Optimization)논문이다. 일반적으로 키워드입찰은 노출순위를 대상으로 하는 입찰가액에 의해 이루어지고 있다. 그런데, 대부분 광고주는 수천 개 이상의 많은 키워드를 관리함에 있어, 매시간적으로 바뀌는 키워드별 입찰가액을 통해 입찰광고시스템을 관리하고 있는데, 사실상 시간과 인력자원측면에서 비효율적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 기존의 입찰가액을 중심으로 하는 입찰시스템에 대해 의문점을 제기하고, 새로운 관점에서 노출순위를 의사결정변수로 하는 새로운 검색광고모델을 재정의하여 제시하였다. 새로운 검색광고모델에 대한 최적화실증분석을 위해 예측모델과 최적화모델을 제시하였다. 연구과정은 우선 키워드의 특성에 따라 키워드그룹을 원천 제조브랜드 유통브랜드의 범주화기준을 제시한 후, PC 와 모바일 매체별로 대표 키워드 선정한 후 노출순위와 클릭률이 비선형분포임을 보였고, 통계적 관계를 검토하였다. 클릭률예측 및 입찰가액예측을 위한 통계적 시나리오를 제시하였고, 적합성 분석을 통해 최적의 예측모델을 선정한 후, 선정된 예측모델을 기반으로 하여 클릭률과 기대이익(전환율)에 관한 최적화목적함수를 정의하고 실증분석을 진행하였다. 분석결과, 본 논문에서 제시한 검색광고모델은 클릭률 기반의 클릭수와 전환율 기반의 기대이익으로 표현되는 최적화모델 모두에서 개선효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 다만, 기대이익 최적화모델의 경우에는 핵심키워드임에도 불구하고 기대이익이 낮아 광고에서 배제되는 문제를 있음을 확인하고 대안을 제시했다. 마코브체인분석을 통해 핵심 경유키워드 개념을 도입하였고, 최적화목적함수에 대해 핵심경유키워드의 기회이익을 반영한 최적화수정모델을 제시하여 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 본 논문은 키워드입찰시스템의 의사결정변수를 노출순위의 관점으로 전환하는 새로운 모델을 제안하였고, 키워드 범주별 및 노출순위 기반의 통계적 예측을 제시하고, 포트폴리오 구성에서의 최적화실증분석을 통해 노출순위 기반 예측모델의 유효성을 확인함과 동시에, 키워드간의 확산효과를 포함하는 수정모델제시 등 전략적인 입찰을 제안한 점에 시사점이 있다.

Operations research has developed rapidly since its origins in World War II. Practitioners of O. R. have contributed to almost every aspect of government and business. More recently, a number of operations researchers have turned their attention to library and information systems, and the author believes that significant research has resulted. It is the purpose of this essay to introduce the library audience to some of these accomplishments, to present some of the author's hypotheses on the subject of library management to which he belives O. R. has great potential, and to suggest some future research directions. Some problem areas in librianship where O. R. may play a part have been discussed and are summarized below. (1) Library location. It is usually necessary to make balance between accessibility and cost In location problems. Many mathematical methods are available for identifying the optimal locations once the balance between these two criteria has been decided. The major difficulties lie in relating cost to size and in taking future change into account when discriminating possible solutions. (2) Planning new facilities. Standard approaches to using mathematical models for simple investment decisions are well established. If the problem is one of choosing the most economical way of achieving a certain objective, one may compare th althenatives by using one of the discounted cash flow techniques. In other situations it may be necessary to use of cost-benefit approach. (3) Allocating library resources. In order to allocate the resources to best advantage the librarian needs to know how the effectiveness of the services he offers depends on the way he puts his resources. The O. R. approach to the problems is to construct a model representing effectiveness as a mathematical function of levels of different inputs(e.g., numbers of people in different jobs, acquisitions of different types, physical resources). (4) Long term planning. Resource allocation problems are generally concerned with up to one and a half years ahead. The longer term certainly offers both greater freedom of action and greater uncertainty. Thus it is difficult to generalize about long term planning problems. In other fields, however, O. R. has made a significant contribution to long range planning and it is likely to have one to make in librarianship as well. (5) Public relations. It is generally accepted that actual and potential users are too ignorant both of the range of library services provided and of how to make use of them. How should services be brought to the attention of potential users? The answer seems to lie in obtaining empirical evidence by controlled experiments in which a group of libraries participated. (6) Acquisition policy. In comparing alternative policies for acquisition of materials one needs to know the implications of each service which depends on the stock. Second is the relative importance to be ascribed to each service for each class of user. By reducing the level of the first, formal models will allow the librarian to concentrate his attention upon the value judgements which will be necessary for the second. (7) Loan policy. The approach to choosing between loan policies is much the same as the previous approach. (8) Manpower planning. For large library systems one should consider constructing models which will permit the skills necessary in the future with predictions of the skills that will be available, so as to allow informed decisions. (9) Management information system for libraries. A great deal of data can be available in libraries as a by-product of all recording activities. It is particularly tempting when procedures are computerized to make summary statistics available as a management information system. The values of information to particular decisions that may have to be taken future is best assessed in terms of a model of the relevant problem. (10) Management gaming. One of the most common uses of a management game is as a means of developing staff's to take decisions. The value of such exercises depends upon the validity of the computerized model. If the model were sufficiently simple to take the form of a mathematical equation, decision-makers would probably able to learn adequately from a graph. More complex situations require simulation models. (11) Diagnostics tools. Libraries are sufficiently complex systems that it would be useful to have available simple means of telling whether performance could be regarded as satisfactory which, if it could not, would also provide pointers to what was wrong. (12) Data banks. It would appear to be worth considering establishing a bank for certain types of data. It certain items on questionnaires were to take a standard form, a greater pool of data would de available for various analysis. (13) Effectiveness measures. The meaning of a library performance measure is not readily interpreted. Each measure must itself be assessed in relation to the corresponding measures for earlier periods of time and a standard measure that may be a corresponding measure in another library, the 'norm', the 'best practice', or user expectations.

본 연구는 3~5세 취학전아동 대상 영양지수 (Nutrition Quotient for Preschoolers, NQ-P) 개발을 목표로 수행되었다. 어린이의 식행동 및 영양섭취 관련 문헌, 국민건강영양조사 자료 분석 및 전문가 대상 심층면접을 통해 38개 후보평가항목을 선정한 후, 후보 평가항목 중 식품 및 영양소 섭취량을 잘 반영해 주는 평가항목을 선정하기 위해 어린이집 3~5세반 100명의 부모/보호자를 대상으로 식사섭취조사와 체크리스트 설문조사를 수행하였으며, 평가항목과 식품 및 영양소 섭취량, 식사다양성, 체질량지수와의 상관관계 분석 결과로부터 유의한 상관관계를 나타낸 평가항목과 영유아 식생활지침과 어린이 급식관리지침서 영양관리기준에 근거하여 20개 평가항목으로 구성된 체크리스트를 도출하였다. 영양지수 모형을 설정하기 위해 전국 어린이집 목록을 활용하여 조사 대상 어린이집을 기본 층화변수로 5개 권역을 설정하여 어린이집 수를 할당하고 어린이집 당 약 10명을 표본으로 하여 총 412명을 대상으로 조사를 수행하였다. 탐색적 요인분석과 확정적 요인분석에 의해 영양지수구조 모형에 포함된 평가항목은 14개였으며, 구조방정식모형을 통해 14개의 평가항목으로 구성된 영양지수의 구성타당도를 검증하고 가중치를 계산하였다. 전문가 자문에 의한 요인 검토와 조정을 거친 결과 영양지수는 3-factor structure로서 균형, 절제, 환경의 3 영역으로 구성되었다. '균형' 영역에는 콩제품, 생선, 고기, 채소, 흰 우유 섭취의 5개 평가항목, '절제' 영역에는 가공육류, 가공음료, 과자류, 패스트푸드 섭취의 4개 평가항목, 그리고 '환경' 영역에는 아침식사 빈도, 정해진 장소에서 식사, 식사 전 손씻기, 바른 식생활을 위한 노력 정도, TV시청 스마트폰 컴퓨터 사용시간 (screen time)의 5개 평가항목이 포함되었다. 영역별 가중치는 균형 0.45, 절제 0.30, 환경 0.25로 설정하였으며, 영역 내 항목 가중치는 표준화 경로계수를 활용하여 계산하였다. 전국 3~5세 취학전아동 (n = 412명)의 NQ-P 점수는 평균 60.64점 (중앙값: 60.84점, 최소값: 34.99점, 최대값: 88.72점)이었고, 영역별 평균 점수를 보면 균형 60.49점, 절제 51.49점, 환경 71.66점을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 NQ-P는 14개 문항의 체크리스트 설문 조사를 통하여 영양지수 점수는 물론, 균형, 절제, 환경의 3개 영역 (요인)의 점수를 산출할 수 있으며, 산출된 영양지수 점수와 영역 점수를 이용하여 어린이의 상대적인 NQ-P 등급을 부여하고, 영양상태 및 식사의 질에 대한 평가를 수행할 수 있다.
