  • 국내 건설기업들은 최근 금융위기, 미분양 주택의 증가 등 외부적인 경영환경의 악화로 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 경영환경의 변화에 대처하기 위하여 기업은 환경의 변화에 신속하고 탄력적으로 적응할 수 있는 효율적인 경영조직의 구성이 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 기업은 조직에 대한 분석과 이해가 부족하여 사업 물량과 유형에 따라 경영조직을 구성하고 있다. 국내 시공능력순위 30위 이내의 건설기업들 역시 서로 다른 경영조직과 사업구조를 가지고 있으며 또한 각기 다른 경쟁력과 위기요인도 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 건설기업의 경영 및 조직현황을 조사하여 경영성과와 조직특성을 파악하고 효율적인 경영전략 수립과 기업의 경영조직을 구성하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

  • Egyptian construction firms (ECF) started recently to adopt quality management system (QMS) as a way to develop and improve their performance as previous studies have shown. However, considering all the firm's aspects in a competitive way is a crucial process for the ECF's culture. This research is trying to indicate the role of the QMS implementation in measuring performance (MP) through developing a model for measuring performance at the organizational level, and to explore its impact on the organizations that adopt QMS. This model is based on specific elements and their related indicators which have been derived from national approaches and models of MP. This model determines the performance level (PL) of the organization that is measured by means of a point system. Weights of the elements in the point system considered both the elements' importance in the international models and its real practice in the ECFs. This model has been validated using another questionnaire and the majority of surveyed experts agreed that the proposed model can be applied effectively.

  • The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for forecasting early design construction cost of building projects using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Eighty questionnaires distributed among construction organizations were utilized to identify significant parameters for the building project costs. 169 case studies of building projects were collected from the construction industry in Gaza Strip. The case studies were used to develop ANN model. Eleven significant parameters were considered as independent input variables affected on "project cost". The neural network model reasonably succeeded in estimating building projects cost without the need for more detailed drawings. The average percentage error of tested dataset for the adapted model was largely acceptable (less than 6%). Sensitivity analysis showed that the area of typical floor and number of floors are the most influential parameters in building cost.

  • Construction contracts involve the allocation or distribution of the risks inherent to a construction project between or among contracting parties. However, it has been a common practice that only one party drafts the contract due to practical reasons and particular policies of various organizations. Interviews were conducted on some local contractors to gain their meaningful insights and standpoints on the allocation of each risk. These results were compared with the actual risk allocation using the Philippine government standard contract and risk principles from the literature to determine if their considered opinions provide a plausible alternative. A sample application of this evaluation is presented for construction-related risks and risk allocation recommendations are provided in the end.

  • This paper reviews the literature on safety culture focusing particularly on research carried out from 1998 onwards. The term 'safety culture' is clarified as it is typically applied to organizations, to safety and particularly to construction safety. Some clarifications in terms of levels of aggregation, positive safety culture and safety performance are provided by presenting appropriate empirical evidences and their theoretical developments. Safety culture is a subset of organizational culture that is thought to influence employees' attitudes and behavior in relation to an organization's ongoing health and safety performance. Implications for future research in the area are addressed, as safety culture has in recent years become the focus of much attention in all industries, and in the construction industry in particular.

  • The basic goal of CALS is to improve transactions and relationships among organizations through information sharing and integration. CALS is an information strategy which needs strong cooperation between organizations or between users and developers in design step. However, current design methodologies using IDEF models, that are considered to be standard for CALS system development, has some limitations. For example, it is difficult for system developers to communicate with counterparts by IDEF model since IDEF models are difficult for counterparts to understand. In this paper, we suggest a development methodology for GALS systems by complementing IDEF model with Document Trace Diagram, which we developed as a communication tool, The concept of Document Trace Diagram stems from the fact that most information exchanged within or between organizations is in the form of documents and most standard operating procedures of organizations are about processing the documents. It helps system developers identify functions and their ICOMs (Input, Control, Output, Mechanism) with ease and little communication cost. With this methodology, we have constructed the GALS prototype system for construction industry.

This research is based on the relationship between KM and organizational operation, integrates the characteristic of medical institutions and framework of medical knowledge cycle and starts the research subject by questionnaires from three dimensions: current situation of KM construction in medical organizations, executive effect of KM activities and the challenges faced by KM; subsequently, from qualitative interview, this research attempts to understand how a medical organization executes and adjusts in the consideration of theory and reality as well as quality and costs when actually operates the organization. This research accesses to KM system application of medical institutions and the empirical executive benefits and difficulties through questionnaires. The research results are as follows: (1) having initial understanding toward current KM establishment of medical institutions; (2) confirming the most important items of KM establishment of medical organizations; (3) understanding the most difficulty which the medical organizations encounter when executing KM; (4) establishing medical knowledge cycle figure of the hospitals receiving interviews. Through case interview, this research profoundly accessed to the actual operation of KM application of medical organizations. The target hospitals intended to try many medical KM measures; however, during to complicated hospital organizations and cultural characteristics, the promotion was not successful and the results were not apparent. The most difficulty was to change the employees’ behavior. The targets believed that only the continuous promotion of KM can allow it to be an important aspect of organizational culture and the competitiveness could constant be upgraded.
