While the demand for ASP(Application Service Provider) focused on small and medium enterprises who are fully aware of needs of ICT readiness has been increasing, those who consider to adopt ASP are wondering whether their performance would be actually successful if they did. These concerns can be an important standard of judgement, when introducing new information systems, by analyzing ROI(Return on Investment) on the current enterprises. Therefore, to review the feasibility of investing IT and measuring the performance, this study suggests a framework for ROI analysis which estimates IT investment performance, through multi-criteria approach on both financial performance index and non-financial one. We applied methodology on ASP-based IT investment performance evaluation to sample manufacturing companies under 50 employees and deduced the main implications to be considered when introducing the system.

Information Systems (IS) auditing has been know to be helpful in developing optimal IS and managing information resources successfully. The public sector of Korea has witnessed the rapidly growing demand for IS auditing. However, there is a dearth of research that evaluate the effects of IS auditing. This study assesses the impacts of IS auditing based on a process perspective. In order to evaluate the effects objectively and properly, the current study collected empirical data from 58 firms. This stuuy confirmed that IS auditing was a very effective tool for successful IS implementation. The results show that IS auditing improves “project management”, “support”, and “engineering” practices while it does not make any impact on “contract” practice. In general, IS auditing has a tremendous impact on facilitating organization’quality improvement efforts.

In this paper, we present a case study of a new emerging business startup involved in smart house appliances. The irreversible investment concept and real-option theory are introduced as the fundamentals of the model. By using games theory we show that the startup's actions can trigger reactions from other firms. The first part covers initial the research and development stage, while the second part covers production and commercialization. The findings of this study suggest that, given a certain amount of initial investment, an open and shared innovation may lead to hurting a firm's investment while strengthening the competitors' position in the market. However, given the sensitivity analysis, when volatility and demand grow favorably, sharing R&D investment is not a bad option for a new player to adjust its position in the market while still maintaining positive returns.

This study was accomplished to analyze the effect that CIO's transformational and transactional leadership have on leadership performance in pursuit of the ideal leadership required of CIO. The study results reveal the followings. First, CIO's transformational. transactional, and laissez faire leadership is statistically related with leadership performance. Especially, the transformational leadership was more correlated with leadership performance than transactional leadership. Second, leadership performance both of transformational leader and transactional leader was higher than than of laissez faire leader. But leadership performance between transformational leadership and transactional leadership was not statistically significant. Third, many CIOs turn out to possess both transformational and transactional leader's trait, and therefore, the subjects were categorized into the three groups such as: purely transformational leaders, purely transactional leaders, and transformational-transactional leaders. The result shows that leadership performance was high in order of transformational-transactional leader, purely transformational leader, and purely transactional leader.

A great number of firms have used overall equipments effectiveness index to evaluate the effect of TPM activities. Overall equipments effectiveness is very useful index to emphasize the need of decreasing equipments loss time when TPM system is first implemented. And it is powerful to evaluate prductivity growth rate according to TPM activities when GNP growth rate is high level. However, during the depression period, the increase of overall equipments effectiveness does not contribute fully to the cost down, the reason is that demand is falling. In this paper, we present the rectified TPM activities which can be applied to the depression period, and analysis the improvement activities of production part how to contribute to the cost down,

This study examines how green operations affect firm's environmental performance with green innovation as a mediator in the context of electronic industry. We carry out an empirical study with 141 valid questionnaires collected from high-tech manaufactures in Taiwan. The results show that positive relationships exist among green operations, green innovation and environmental performance (in both operational performance and managerial performance). However, an integration of green operations with green innovation would influence firm's environmental performance more positively than the sole effects of green operations. It suggests that high-tech manufacturers should pay greater attention to green innovative strategies in order to cope with customer demand and, thereby, enhancing customer satisfaction and sustainable operations. This study has contributed to the extant literature by providing valuable academic references and pragmatic guidelines for firms to gain competitive advantages through green operations and green innovation.
