  • 우리나라에서 GAP인증제도가 시행된 지 10년이 지났고, 정부는 2022년까지 전체 재배면적의 25%까지 GAP인증을 취득토록 하겠다는 목표를 가지고 있다. 2017년말 기준으로 전체 재배면적의 6.3%, 전체 농가의 8.1%가 인증을 취득했는데 인증확대의 정도는 기대보다 느린 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 GAP인증 농가에 대한 설문조사와 현장점검을 통해 GAP인증의 확대가 더딘 원인을 규명하고 GAP인증의 확대를 위하여 현 제도의 문제점 분석에 따라 발전방안을 제시하고자 수행하였다. 인증농가는 농산물 안전과 위생에 대한 필요성은 인식하나 실제 현장실천방법에 대해서는 부적합 사항이 다수 존재하였다. 이는 인증기준의 모호성과 생산자에 대한 교육방법의 오류에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. GAP인증이 농가에 확대되는 속도가 느리고 소비자의 인지도가 낮은 이유는 GAP인증제도 운영의 구조적 문제로 생각되며, 이에 따른 개선방안이 필요하다. 국가주도형의 GAP인증제도를 국가주도형 민간인증제도로 전환을 할 필요가 있다. 국가는 정책, 연구 및 사후관리에 중점을 두고, 그 외 인증 및 교육, 홍보 등에 관한 실무는 출연기관 형태의 별도조직을 신설하여 담당케 할 필요가 있다. 국가는 GAP인증 확대를 위한 중장기적인 계획을 수립하여 체계적으로 수행할 필요가 있다. 우리나라의 영농 규모에 비해 지나치게 많은 인증기관은 지정기준을 강화하여 통폐합할 필요가 있으며, 인증기관의 재정 자립도와 올바른 인증업무 수행을 위하여 신청수수료를 현실화해야 한다. 또한 인증심사원의 자격기준을 강화하고 교육체계를 정비하여 양질의 심사원을 육성해야 한다. 법령 중심의 단순화된 인증기준은 실제 실천방안 중심으로 세분화할 필요가 있다. GAP인증제도의 발전적 개선을 위하여 산학관의 전문가로 구성된 위원회를 통해 밀도있는 토의가 필요하며 구체적인 발전방안을 도출하여 시행함으로써 안전안심농산물 생산을 통한 국민의 먹거리 안전성에 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 연구는 산업기술 보호를 위한 관리적 발전방안을 마련하기 위하여 공공기관, 대기업, 중소기업 등을 대상으로 관리적 보안실태에 대해 조사 분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 보안정책을 효과적으로 실행할 수 있는 기반 구축이 필요하다. 조사대상 대부분이 보안규정을 잘 관리하고 있으나 보안규정을 지키거나 지속적으로 개선하려는 노력이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 보안전담조직과 보안담당자 운영방법을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 보안규정을 모든 구성원에게 알리고 보안업무 수행을 위한 팀 간 업무 공조체계를 이룰 수 있는 조직문화를 활성화 할 필요가 있다. 이와 함께 지속적인 보안점검과 보안감사를 통해 보안의식을 향상시키고, 보안규정 준수 여부를 직원업무평가에 반영함으로써 보안정책을 가시화 할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 보안활성화를 위한 보안투자가 필요하다. 기술 유출경로와 수단이 다양화 첨단화 되어가고 있을 뿐 아니라 복잡하고 빠른 속도로 변화하기 때문에 관련 전문기관인 국가정보원, 한국인터넷진흥원, 정보보호 컨설팅 전문기업, 관련 대학 및 연구소 등과의 협조채널 유지하고, 필요에 따라서는 보안 전문기관으로부터 outsourcing 도입을 검토할 필요가 있다. 특히 공공기관이나 대기업에 비해 보안정책 운영실태가 미흡한 중소기업은 조직 규모나 재정적 여건을 감안하여 보안관리 능력을 보강할 수 있도록 국가적인 차원의 지원시스템을 증가할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 산업기술 유출의 주체는 사람으로 인력관리가 중요하다. 신규 입사자와 임직원을 대상으로 하는 정기적인 교육률은 높은 것으로 평가되나 핵심기술에 접근하는 임직원과 제3자로부터의 보안서약서 작성과 중요자산에 대한 접근권한이 변경될 때 접근권한 변경 적용과 같은 업무의 활성화가 필요하다. 중요기술을 다루는 사람에 한하여 신원조사를 실시할 수 있는 여건조성이 필요하며, 퇴사자에 대한 보안서약서 징구와 정보시스템에 대한 접근권한 제거, 계정삭제와 같은 퇴직자 관리를 강화할 수 있어야 한다. 넷째, 중요한 자산에 대한 관리와 통제를 강화해야 한다. 자산에 대한 목록과 관리기준은 비교적 잘 정리되어 있으나 자산의 중요성에 따른 등급화작업의 활성화와 자산의 유출 및 손상의 경우를 대비한 영향 정도를 평가할 수 있는 작업이 필요하다. 자산에 대한 중요도는 시간흐름 및 업무특성에 따라 변화되기 때문에 주기적인 자산평가 작업과 분류작업을 통해 사용자별로 권한을 설정할 수 있어야 한다.

  • Colors change in time corresponding with the value system and aesthetic consciousness of the time. The roles that colors play in painting can be divided into the formative role based on the contrast and harmony of color planes and the aesthetic role expressed by colors to represent the objects. The aesthetic consciousness of the orient starts with the Civility(禮) and Pleasure(樂), which is closely related with restrained or tempered human feelings. In the art world of the orient including poem, painting, and music, what are seen and felt from the objects are not represented in all. Added by the sentiment laid background, the beauty of the orient emphasizes the beauty of restraint and temperance, which has long been the essential aesthetic emotion of the orient. From the very inception of oriental painting, colors had become a symbolic system in which the five colors associated with the philosophy of Yin and Yang and Five Forces were symbolically connected with the four sacred animals of Red Peacock, Black Turtle, Blue Dragon, and White Tiger. In this color system the use of colors was not free from ideological matters, and was further constrained by the limited color production and distribution. Therefore, development in color expression seemed to have been very much limited because of the unavailability and unreadiness of various colors. Studies into the flow in oriental painting show that color expression in oriental painting have changed from symbolic color expression to poetic expression, and then to emotional color expression as the mode of painting changes in time. As oriental painting transformed from the art of religious or ceremonial purpose to one of appreciation, the mast visible change in color expression is the one of realism(simulation). Rooted on the naturalistic color expression of the orient where the fundamental properties of objects were considered mast critical, this realistic color expression depicts the genuine color properties that the objects posses, with many examples in the Flower & Bird Painting prior to the North Sung dynasty. This realistic expression of colors changed as poetic sentiments were fused with painting in later years of the North Sung dynasty, in which a conversion to light ink and light coloring in the use of ink and colors was witnessed, and subjective emotion was intervened and represented. This mode of color expression had established as free and creative coloring with vivid expression of individuality. The fusion of coloring and lyricism was borrowed from the trend in painting after the North Sung dynasty which was mentioned earlier, and from the trend in which painting was fused with poetic sentiments to express the emotion of artists, accompanied with such features as light coloring and compositional change. Here, the lyricism refers to the artist's subjective perspective of the world and expression of it in refined words with certain rhythm, the essence of which is the integration of the artist's ego and the world. The poetic ego projects the emotion and sentiment toward the external objects or assimilates them in order to express the emotion and sentiment of one's own ego in depth and most efficiently. This is closely related with the rationale behind the long-standing tradition of continuous representation of same objects in oriental painting from ancient times to contemporary days. According to the thoughts of the orient, nature was not just an object of expression, but recognized as a personified body, to which the artist projects his or her emotions. The result is the rebirth of meaning in painting, completely different from what the same objects previously represented. This process helps achieve the integration and unity between the objects and the ego. Therefore, this paper discussed the lyrical expression of colors in the works of the author, drawing upon the poetic expression method reflected in the traditional Flower and Bird Painting, one of the painting modes mainly depending on color expression. Based on the related discussion and analysis, it was possible to identify the deep thoughts and the distinctive expression methods of the orient and to address the significance to prioritize the issue of transmission and development of these precious traditions, which will constitute the main identity of the author's future work.

  • This is a survey of the reserved book system in the pilot universities in Korea. We have surveyed only 22 university libraries among 29 pilot schools as of 1977, because of the differences in the library users, library organization, library facilities, and library materials between universities and colleges. In 1972, the Korean Ministry of Education developed a reformation plan for their higher education based on the teaching method of curriculum-oriented faculty instead of that of the faculty-oriented curriculum. The former puts emphasis on the cultivation of a student's thinking, creativity, and judgement through self-teaching to do a given assignment. The reserved book system in a college or university library is one of the most important methods necessary to accomplish the above educational aim. The survey used a questionnaire with 50 question on 28 items concerning the various aspects of the reserved book system in 22 pilot universities. the survey result discovered many problems needing correction. The following list describes the measures needed to correct the problems found in the pilot universities. 1. The management of a centralized reserved book system is much more effective and economical than the decentralized reserved book system when a university is located on the same campus. 2. In the university library, an independent reserved book department requires to gain the desired educational aims as compared with the reserved book room controlled by any other department in the library. 3. The reserved book system should not be adopted by all the departments at once but enlarged gradually, for it needs the understanding and support of faculty members and the university itself. 4. As competence is essential to the effective operation of the reserved book room, the university library should not place an unqualified person in charge of the reserved book department. 5. The librarian in charge of the reserved book department is required to do more professional works such as analysis of users, collection and analysis of syllabuses, maintenance of faculty member cooperation, establishment of measures to acquire unavailable materials, and drawing up an effective management plan. However, he is spending most of his time in clerical works, that is, non-professional works. 6. Three to five titles of each reserved book are considered reasonable and required materials should be shelved in proportion to the number of students, that is, one copy per eight or ten students if the materials are allowed to lend for two hours at a time. For the supplementary materials, the library needs to place two or three copies per subject. 7. Professors must select reserved books with care so that they can be used year after year. 8. Few universities are asking professors the number of class students and the date when the reserved material will no longer be needed on reserve. 9. The library should gather all the lists of reserved books from every professor at least three to five months before the courses open, because it takes a long time to obtain foreign materials. 10. It is desirable that the reserved book department should collect the lists and prepare the materials with promptness and consistency. 11. Instead of block buying, it is desirable to purchase reserved books at the time the library gets the reserved book list from the professors. The library should also inform faculty members whether it obtained each reserved book or not before the course open. 12. The library should make a copy of materials if a professor requires to reserve an out-of-print book or partial contents of a book, journal, and thesis. 13. An independent budger for reserved books from the budget for general materials is desired. 14. The shelf arrangement of reserved books by courses or professors under the same department is much more preferable than a classified arrangement. 15. While most of the universities adopted the open shelves system for all the reserved books, it is more effective and economical to take a compromise system, that is, closed shelves for requires materials and open shelves for supplementary materials. 18. Circulation of reserved books needs a different system between required materials and supplementary materials: two or three hours and/or overnight loan for the former and two and/or three days loan for the latter. 17. A reserved book room should be open a long time after class so that students can have sufficient time to use the room. 18. The library must take daily and monthly statistic as well as statistics on every aspect of the reserved book system in order that the library ma decide on policy and management of the reserved book room in collaboration with the university. Furthermore, regular reports on the use of the reserved book room should be made to the president and the executive council by the library to acquire their understanding and cooperation for the reserved book system. 19. Cooperation of faculty members is indispensable to the effective management of the reserved book department and it is desirable to make a committee which will fix various decisions about the system. Whenever the director of the library make his decision, he must consult with his staff in order to involve them earnestly in the operation of the system.

  • 본 연구는 조선시대의 고문헌과 옛 그림에서 나타나는 화훼식물을 재료로 궁궐정원과 민가정원에 나타나는 지피식물의 이용특성과 상징성을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 문화재 지역 및 현대 조경공간에 활용을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하였으며, 결과는 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있었다. 첫째, 조선시대 고문헌과 옛 그림에서 출현한 화훼식물의 출현빈도는 매화, 연꽃, 모란, 국화, 파초, 영산홍, 장미, 진달래, 작약 등이 10회 이상으로 높은 빈도를 나타내는 것으로 조사되었으며, 다음으로 비교적 출현 빈도가 높은 식물은 치자, 석류(8회), 패랭이꽃, 포도(7회), 난초, 정향, 봉선화, 원추리, 맨드라미, 무궁화, 철쭉류, 창포, 접시꽃, 황매화, 유자(5회), 부용, 동자꽃, 금전화, 베고니아, 해바라기, 양귀비, 수선화, 서향화, 옥잠화 등(4회)이였으며, 그 외에는 29분류군 총 81종의 화훼식물이 조사되었다. 둘째, 궁궐과 민가에서 사용되었던 조선시대 화훼식물의 이용은 분에 심어 가까이 두고 완상하거나 화단, 화계, 화오, 연못 및 담장주변 등에 주로 식재하였음을 고문헌의 기록과 정원도 및 민화의 그림을 통해서 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 영산홍의 식물재료에 대한 기록은 조선왕조실록의 내용에서 다루어지고 연구되어진 민가정원의 관련된 문헌(6점)이나 옛 그림(766점)에서 출현한 내용이 없는 것으로 보아 조선시대 대중에게 유통이 극히 일부에 국한되었던 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 조선시대 화훼식물 상징성은 유교의 절개, 군자, 청빈, 충효사상을 나타낸 경우, 도교의 신선사상이나 불로장생을 나타내는 경우, 민간신앙의 부귀영화나 만사형통을 기원하는 경우로 구분할 수 있었다. 이는 식물을 덕성함양의 대상이나 기복의 대상으로 여겼음을 알 수 있다. 넷째, 조선시대 이용했던 화훼식물은 선비가 닮고 싶은 이상과 지향하는 정신세계와 일치하였기 때문에 선조들의 상징으로 나타났다고 본다. 조선시대 이용하였던 화훼식물은 수목종류에 따른 보편적인 판단기준이 아닌 다양하고 주관적이며, 또한 정신적인 측면으로 접근하여 해석할 때에 조선시대 화훼식물의 조경공간에서의 활용범위 또한 넓어질 것으로 사료된다.

  • Open Source Software Development (OSSD) differentiates itself from traditional closed software development in that it reveals its source codes online and allows anyone to participate in projects. Even though its success was in doubt, many of the open collaborative working models produced successful results. Academia started to get interested in how developers are willing to participate even when there are no extrinsic rewards for their efforts. Many studies tried to explain developers' motivations, and the pursuit of ideology, reputation, and altruism are found to be the answers. Those studies, however, focused mostly on how the first contribution is made out of a certain motivation. Nowadays, OSSD reaches at its maturity and 70% of professional developers have used or utilized open source software or code in their works. As the proportion of people experiencing OSS, the accounts from previous studies are expected to be weakened. Also, extant literature fails to explain how the motivation of participating in OSS evolves over time and experiences. Given that changing over time or over experiences is the natural in the perception of motivation, studies in an attempt to understand how the motivation changes or evolves are in need. In this study, we aimed to explain how the perception about OSS from past usage or related experiences leads to the intention to sustain OSS participations. By doing so, we try to bridge the gap between previous studies and the actual phenomenon. We argued that perceived instrumentality about OSS learned from past experiences will first affect the formation of organizational identity towards general OSS community. And once the organizational identity is formed, it will affect the one's following behaviors related to OSS development, most likely to sustain the favoring stance toward OSS community. Our research distinguishes itself from previous one in that it divides the paths from organizational identity formed to the intention to sustain the voluntary helping behaviors, by altruistic and conforming intentions. Drawing on this structural model, we could explain how organizational identity engages in forming the sustaining intention from past experiences, and that the intention to help at individual level and organizational level works at different level in OSS community. We grounded our arguments on Social identity theory and Organizational Citizenship theory. We examined our assumption by constructing a structural equation model (SEM) and had 88 developers to answer our online surveys. The result is analyzed by PLS (partial least square) method. Consequently, all paths but one in our model are supported, the one which assumed the association between perceived instrumentality and altruistic intention. Our results provide directions in designing online collaborative platforms where open access collaboration is meant to occur. Theoretically, our study suggests that organizational citizenship behavior can occur from organizational identity, even in bottom-up organizational settings. More specifically, we also argue to consider both organizational level and individual level of motivation in inducing sustained participations within the platforms. Our result can be interpreted to indicate the importance of forming organizational identity in sustaining the participatory behaviors. It is because there was no direct association between perceived instrumentality from past experiences and altruistic behavior, but the perception of organizational identity bridges the two constructs. This means that people with no organizational identity can sustain their participations through conforming intention from only the perception of instrumentality, but it needs little more than that for the people to feel the intention to directly help someone in the community-first to form the self-identity as a member of the given community.

  • 최근 창업을 권장하는 사회적 분위기 속에서 창업하고자 하는 시도가 늘어나는 만큼 창업실패 사례도 다수 발생하고 있다. 특히 청년창업은 일반창업보다 생존율이 낮게 나타났는데, 청년 창업자는 기업경영에 관한 사전 지식과 경험이 부족한 상태에서 취업의 어려움을 뛰어넘기 위해 단순한 아이디어만으로 창업에 도전하는 사례가 많아 성공보다는 실패하는 경우가 많다. 그러므로 창업실패의 원인은 창업 준비부족과 창업역량 부족이라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 청년층을 대상으로 창업역량 개발과 창업 준비 활동을 위한 기본적 틀을 구축할 수 있도록 측정 도구를 개발하는 것에 목적을 둔다. 창업역량 측정 도구를 개발하기 위해 먼저 정성적 연구방법인 문헌연구, 초점집단 인터뷰, 전문가 검증을 통하여 예비문항을 개발하였다. 이후 정량적 연구방법을 사용하여 창업자 102명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였고, 측정 도구의 구성 타당도 검증을 위해서 탐색적 요인분석과 확인적 요인분석 과정을 거쳐 최종 창업역량 측정 도구를 완성했다. 본 연구 과정을 통해서 개발된 창업역량 측정 도구는 7개의 구성요인과 15개의 측정 문항으로 구성된다. 먼저 창업 의지확인단계에는 자기 분석력 2개 문항, 창업철학 정립 능력 3개 문항이며, 창업모델구상단계에서는 창업 아이디어 도출능력, 아이디어 타당성 분석력, 벤처창업 모델 기획력에서 각 2개 문항씩, 벤처창업계획단계에서는 사업계획 프레젠테이션 능력, 조직 시스템 구축 능력에서 각 2개 문항으로 구성된다. 본 연구에서 개발된 창업역량 측정 도구는 청년 창업자 또는 예비 청년 창업자가 창업 초기 단계에서 자신의 창업역량을 측정해 봄으로써 창업을 준비하는 데 있어 부족한 역량을 알아보고, 필요로 하는 역량을 함양하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 창업교육에서는 청년 창업자의 창업역량을 진단해 볼 수 있는 기초적 자료를 제공하는 데 의의가 있다.

  • Knowledge is an essential strategic weapon for sustaining competitive advantage and is the key determinant for organizational growth. When knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout the organization, it increases an organization's value by providing the ability to respond to new and unusual situations. The growing importance of knowledge as a critical resource has forced executives to pay attention to their organizational knowledge. Organizations are increasingly undertaking knowledge management initiatives and making significant investments. Knowledge sourcing is considered as the first important step in effective knowledge management. Most firms continue to make an effort to realize the benefits of knowledge management by using various knowledge sources effectively. Appropriate knowledge sourcing strategies enable organizations to create, acquire, and access knowledge in a timely manner by reducing search and transfer costs, which result in better firm performance. In response, the knowledge management literature has devoted substantial attention to the analysis of knowledge sourcing strategies. Many studies have categorized knowledge sourcing strategies into intemal- and external-oriented. Internal-oriented sourcing strategy attempts to increase firm performance by integrating knowledge within the boundary of the firm. On the contrary, external-oriented strategy attempts to bring knowledge in from outside sources via either acquisition or imitation, and then to transfer that knowledge across to the organization. However, the extant literature on knowledge sourcing strategies focuses primarily on large organizations. Although many studies have clearly highlighted major differences between large and small firms and the need to adopt different strategies for different firm sizes, scant attention has been given to analyzing how knowledge sourcing strategies affect firm performance in small firms and what are the differences between small and large firms in the patterns of knowledge sourcing strategies adoption. This study attempts to advance the current literature by examining the impact of knowledge sourcing strategies on small firm performance from a holistic perspective. By drawing on knowledge based theory from organization science and complementarity theory from the economics literature, this paper is motivated by the following questions: (1) what are the adoption patterns of different knowledge sourcing strategies in small firms (i,e., what sourcing strategies should be adopted and which sourcing strategies work well together in small firms)?; and (2) what are the performance implications of these adoption patterns? In order to answer the questions, this study developed three hypotheses. First hypothesis based on knowledge based theory is that internal-oriented knowledge sourcing is positively associated with small firm performance. Second hypothesis developed on the basis of knowledge based theory is that external-oriented knowledge sourcing is positively associated with small firm performance. The third one based on complementarity theory is that pursuing both internal- and external-oriented knowledge sourcing simultaneously is negatively or less positively associated with small firm performance. As a sampling frame, 700 firms were identified from the Annual Corporation Report in Korea. Survey questionnaires were mailed to owners or executives who were most erudite about the firm s knowledge sourcing strategies and performance. A total of 188 companies replied, yielding a response rate of 26.8%. Due to incomplete data, 12 responses were eliminated, leaving 176 responses for the final analysis. Since all independent variables were measured using continuous variables, supermodularity function was used to test the hypotheses based on the cross partial derivative of payoff function. The results indicated no significant impact of internal-oriented sourcing strategies while positive impact of external-oriented sourcing strategy on small firm performance. This intriguing result could be explained on the basis of various resource and capital constraints of small firms. Small firms typically have restricted financial and human resources. They do not have enough assets to always develop knowledge internally. Another possible explanation is competency traps or core rigidities. Building up a knowledge base based on internal knowledge creates core competences, but at the same time, excessive internal focused knowledge exploration leads to behaviors blind to other knowledge. Interestingly, this study found that Internal- and external-oriented knowledge sourcing strategies had a substitutive relationship, which was inconsistent with previous studies that suggested complementary relationship between them. This result might be explained using organizational identification theory. Internal organizational members may perceive external knowledge as a threat, and tend to ignore knowledge from external sources because they prefer to maintain their own knowledge, legitimacy, and homogeneous attitudes. Therefore, integrating knowledge from internal and external sources might not be effective, resulting in failure of improvements of firm performance. Another possible explanation is small firms resource and capital constraints and lack of management expertise and absorptive capacity. Although the integration of different knowledge sources is critical, high levels of knowledge sourcing in many areas are quite expensive and so are often unrealistic for small enterprises. This study provides several implications for research as well as practice. First this study extends the existing knowledge by examining the substitutability (and complementarity) of knowledge sourcing strategies. Most prior studies have tended to investigate the independent effects of these strategies on performance without considering their combined impacts. Furthermore, this study tests complementarity based on the productivity approach that has been considered as a definitive test method for complementarity. Second, this study sheds new light on knowledge management research by identifying the relationship between knowledge sourcing strategies and small firm performance. Most current literature has insisted complementary relationship between knowledge sourcing strategies on the basis of data from large firms. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, this study identifies substitutive relationship between knowledge sourcing strategies using data from small firms. Third, implications for practice highlight that managers of small firms should focus on knowledge sourcing from external-oriented strategies. Moreover, adoption of both sourcing strategies simultaneousiy impedes small firm performance.
