Relatively young widows, who are left with young children by a sudden death of their husbands, will be faced with not only psychological troubles such as individual anxiety and frustration but also the dual burden of playing both father and mother roles in a family, Also, family members have difficulty in adapting themselves to new circumstances of the family system, the training and raising of family members, and management of the family economy. In this study, the realistic resources on the experience of middle-aged women who are bereaved of their husbands by accidents were explored. The purpose of this study is to help widows adapt to life in society and live a more positive life by setting a new goals and recovering from a lost and twisted life. 11 women, who have experienced the loss their husbands and live in the Seoul metropolitan area were studied. The research took 116 days from December 15, 1995 to April 8, 1996. The method of research was direct interviews. While having interviews with them, the contents were recorded with their consent. The ground theory was that used by Strauss & Corbin(1990) in the analysis of the data. 81 concepts were analyzed and they were subdirided into 22 subordinate categories through the course of the analysis. These were then classified into 9 general categories. In the course of being categorized, 'absurdity' was showed as a core category. The subordinate categories 'surprise', 'gloom', 'grudge', 'helplessness', 'emptiness', and 'loss' were united in the core category 'absurdity'. Ominous presentiment, belated notice, death, surprise, gloom, grudge, helplessness, emptiness, loss, the situation of the children, lack of support from neighbors, support from neighbors, mulling over ways to live, choosing a job, strengthening, reinforcement, burden, sadness, smoldering, yearning, overcoming these 22 subordinate categories were re-composed into 9 general ones the husband's death, absurdity, presence of children, existence of support, self-support ability, preparation of countermeasures, self-reinforcement, toilsomeness, and overcoming. 'Absurdity' widows experience was shown in the results of 'toilsomeness' and 'overcoming' through reaction, confrontation, and adaptation. According to the analysis the central phenomenon was absurdity, the causal condition of the death of a husband, the presence of children and the existence of support, and the meditated situation of self-support. To solve absurdity, the preparation of countermeasures and self-reinforcements were shown resulting in toilsomeness and overcoming. Through the contrast in the data, the following statements were deduced: (1) If the death of the husband is expected, the more a widow will feel absurdity. (2) The more children she has and the younger she is, the more a widow will feel absurdity. (3) The lower support she is given, the more a widow will feel absurdity. (4) The larger self-ability she has, the more actively she will prepare countermeasures. (5) The smaller self-ability she has, the more passively she will prepare countermeasures. (6) The larger self-ability she has, the weaker self-reinforcement she will preform. (7) The smaller self-ability she has, the stronger self-reinforcement she will perform. (8) The more actively she prepares countermeasures for absurdity, the better she will overcome. (9) The more passively she prepares counter measure for absurdity, the worse she will overcome. (10) The stronger self-reinforcement for absurdity she performs, the better she will overcome. (11) The weaker self-reinforcement for absurdity she performs, the worse she will overcome. Through the results in this study, the following suggested: 1) A study whose object is all family members, and a comparative study on the case of a husband who has lost his wife should be done. These studies can be expected to develop a more refined theory. 2) Because of the collapse of the extended family system and the changes of family culture in Korea, a widow's status and position are apt to be ambiguous between her husband's home and her parent's. Therefore a new study on family culture should be made. 3) A continuous study on growing social Self Help Groups should be requested for the widows of this study to re-establish and recover from their twisted and scattered lives.

6차 산업은 농업인 소득감소 및 침체되어가는 농촌지역 경제를 활성화할 대안으로서 주목받고 있다. 6차 산업은 1차 산업에 기반 한 2차 산업의 제조 및 가공, 3차 산업의 유통 및 서비스를 통합 또는 연계하는 것을 의미한다. 박근혜 정부는 농업농촌에서 창조경제를 실현하는 구체적 대안으로 6차 산업을 평가하고 다양한 정책적 대안을 제시하고 있다. 또한 이를 뒷받침 하기 위해 모델개발이나 선진사례 분석등의 연구가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 6차산업화를 수행하는 경영체에 대한 경영수준 기술수준 리더역량 등을 종합적으로 평가하는 평가지표 개발에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이러한 점에서 본 연구는 6차산업화를 시행하는 경영체에 대한 경영수준 기술수준 리더역량 평가지표 개발을 위해 AHP기법을 활용하여 종합적으로 평가지표를 개발 하였다. 분석결과 한국이 여러 국가와 FTA가 이루어지면서 값싼 농산물 수입이 증대되면서 6차 산업과 관련된 경영체의 수익이 악화될 가능성이 매우 높은 시점에 무한경쟁에서 살아남기 위한 전략 중 가장 중요한 것은 각 개별 경영체가 독자적으로 사업을 운영하기 보다는 내부 역량 강화와 더불어 타 산업과의 연계성을 강화함으로써 상품 및 서비스 판매를 촉진시키고 이를 통해 경영체의 수익을 향상시켜야 한다는 것이다. 따라서 6차 산업 경영체 모두 각자의 위치에서 소비자 신뢰를 얻기 위한 노력들이 필요할 것이며 더욱이 각 경영체간에 협력체계를 구축할 수 있도록 다양한 방안을 모색해야 할 것이다. 또한 스마트 시대에 고객의 니즈가 빠른 속도로 변함에 따라 상품 및 서비스의 수명주기는 점점 빨라지고 있으며 소비자는 새로운 신상품에 찾는 경향이 점점 높아지고 있다. 따라서 6차 산업 경영체는 고객 및 시장 트랜드 변화를 신속하고 정확하게 예측하여 새로운 상품 및 서비스를 시장에 출시하는 노력이 더욱 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구는 일반 중국 단체관광객의 관광행태 분석에 기반하여 중국인의 방한관광에 대한 한류의 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 중국은 폐쇄 정책으로 인하여 오랫동안 외부 정보에 대한 통제를 가하고 중국 공민의 지리적 이동에 대한 욕구를 억눌러 왔다. 그러나 개혁개방 이후, 특히 1990년대 중반 이후 출국관광에 대한 정책적 통제가 완화됨에 따라 해외지역으로의 관광 욕구가 폭발하면서 중국인들의 출국관광 수요가 증대되고 있다. 중국의 이러한 사회경제적 변화 속에서 최근에 나타난 한류, 특히 드라마/영화는 허구와 현실을 넘나들며 우리나라의 국가경관을 생생하게 그리고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 한류는 외부세계와 오랫동안 단절되었던 중국인들의 우리나라에 대한 지리적 상상력을 확대 또는 재구성하는 계기를 제공하였다. 즉, 이전에는 중국인들이 주로 지정학적 또는 경제적 요인들로 우리나라의 국가경관을 상상하였으나, 한류에 의해 우리나라 사람들의 생활양식을 이루는 문화적인 요인들로 지리적 상상력을 재구성하거나 확대하게 되었다. 한류에 의해 새로이 구성된 지리적 상상력은 중국인들의 방한관광 선택에 중요한 흡인 요인 중의 하나로 작용하며, 방한관광의 동기 형성과 친척/친구에게 추천할 만한 주요 매력물 선택에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉, 방한관광 선택에 미친 한류의 영향이 클수록 방한 동기와 추천 매력물이 문화적 요인인 경우가 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 이번 방한관광 선택에서 한류의 영향을 많이 받을수록 만족도와 향후 재방문 의향이 상대적으로 더 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 이는 중국관광객들이 일반 패키지 단체관광 형식으로 방한했음에도, 한류의 영향을 더 많이 받을수록 관광목적지로서 우리나라에 대해 더 큰 애착을 가지게 됨을 의미한다. 이를 통해 한류가 중국인 방한관광 수요의 양적인 증가뿐만 아니라 질적인 변화, 즉 태도의 변화에도 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다.있는 가능성이 높은 것으로 해석된다. 지반운동의 공간적인 차별성은 GPS 자료를 통한 지각의 이동방향에 의해서도 간접적으로 증명될 수 있었다. 이러한 해석은 기존에 알려져 왔던 한반도의 지진발생 메카니즘과는 차이를 보이는 것으로, 한반도의 지형발달과 지진예측에 새로운 시각을 제시할 것으로 기대된다.\pm}41000\;Bq/g,\;670\;Bq/g{\pm}460\;Bq/g$이었으며 22개 저방사능폐수지에서는 각각 $4.2\;Bq/g{\pm}4.3\;Bq/g,\;6.0\;Bq/g{\pm}5.3\;Bq/g$이 검출되었다. 고방사능 폐수지의 평균 $^{14}C/^3H$비는 28로 저방사능 폐수지의 0.70에 비해 높게 나타났으며, $^{14}C$ 및 $^3H$의 농도는 서로 비례하는 경향을 보였다.보완대책이 필요하다는 사실을 이 성적을 통하여 비로소 확인할 수 있었다.가정교과교육학 문항내용의 포괄성을 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 가정과교육과정 문항내용은 제7차 교육과정 문서상에 표면적으로 제시된 내용에 한정되어 있어 구체적인 개선방안으로 교육과정의 철학적 이론적 배경, 다양한 교육과정 원리를 활용하는 문항내용 등과 같이 좀 더 이론적이고 원론적인 내용으로의 확대를 제안하였다. 가정과교수학습법 문항내용은 특정 교수학습모형에 관련된 지식을 묻는 내용으로 주로 출제되었다. 이에 구체적인 개선방안으로 특정 교수학습모형의 이론적 토대가 되고 전체적인 교수설계를 하기 위한 기본 바탕이 될 수 있는 교수학습이론에 관한 내용, 또한 현재가정과교육에 있어서 유용한 교수학습법이라고 입증되고 있는 실천적 추론 가정과 수업에 관한 내용으로의 확대를 제안하였다. 가정과교육평가 문항의 출제는 대다수의 문항이 수행평가에 관한 문항내용으로 출제되었다. 이에 구체적인 개선방안으로 문항의 변별도 여부의

강섬유로 보강되어 SF-RPC (Steel-Fiber reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete)로 불리는 초고성능 콘크리트의 설계는 이에 대한 연구결과를 기반으로 한 가이드라인을 통해 수행되고 있으나, 명확한 설계기준은 확립되지 않은 상태이다. 특히 SF-RPC 일반적으로 고온($90^{\circ}C$)의 증기양생을 필요로 하므로 프리캐스트 부재 형태로 사용되고 있어 부재간 접합 방법이 중요한 설계 요소로 간주됨에도 불구하고 명확한 설계기준이 존재하지 않음에 따라 현재 안전성 및 경제성 측면에서 많은 의문이 있는 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 SF-RPC의 명확한 정착 설계를 위한 기반으로 SF-RPC와 철근 사이의 부착강도를 실험적으로 파악하고, 기존에 사용하였던 평가 방법의 적용성을 검토하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 콘크리트의 압축강도, 피복두께, 섬유의 혼입량을 변수로 가진 직접 뽑힘 실험을 계획 및 수행하였다. 실험 결과 SF-RPC의 부착강도는 압축강도의 증가량에 따라 증가하고 있으나 그 증가율은 크게 나타나지 않음을 확인할 수 있으며, 피복두께의 증가에 따라 부착강도가 증가하며 $5.2d_b$ 이상의 피복을 가질 경우 매우 짧은 매입깊이인 $3d_b$의 매입깊이에서도 철근을 항복시킬 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 섬유의 보강에 의해 부착강도가 두배 이상 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 안전하고 경제적인 설계를 위해서는 SF-RPC의 부착강도를 추정할 수 있어야 하나, 현재까지는 이에 대한 추정식이 제시되고 있지 않으며, SF-RPC의 거동이 압축응력하에서는 큰 탄성 거동을 하며, 인장응력하에서는 소성거동을 함에 기인하여 Tepfers의 응력 해석 방법을 적용한 결과 실험 결과와 유사한 추정치를 기대할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Information technology (IT) outsourcing, the use of a third-party vendor to provide IT services, started in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Korea, and has increased rapidly since 2000. Recently, firms have increased their efforts to capture greater value from IT outsourcing. To date, there have been a large number of studies on IT outsourcing. Most prior studies on IT outsourcing have focused on outsourcing practices and decisions, and little attention has been paid to objectively measuring the value of IT outsourcing. In addition, studies that examined the performance of IT outsourcing have mainly relied on anecdotal evidence or practitioners' perceptions. Our study examines the contribution of IT outsourcing to economic growth in Korean industries over the 1990 to 2007 period, using a production function framework and a panel data set for 54 industries constructed from input-output tables, fixed-capital formation tables, and employment tables. Based on the framework and estimation procedures that Han, Kauffman and Nault (2010) used to examine the economic impact of IT outsourcing in U.S. industries, we evaluate the impact of IT outsourcing on output and productivity in Korean industries. Because IT outsourcing started to grow at a significantly more rapid pace in 2000, we compare the impact of IT outsourcing in pre- and post-2000 periods. Our industry-level panel data cover a large proportion of Korean economy-54 out of 58 Korean industries. This allows us greater opportunity to assess the impacts of IT outsourcing on objective performance measures, such as output and productivity. Using IT outsourcing and IT capital as our primary independent variables, we employ an extended Cobb-Douglas production function in which both variables are treated as factor inputs. We also derive and estimate a labor productivity equation to assess the impact of our IT variables on labor productivity. We use data from seven years (1990, 1993, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007) for which both input-output tables and fixed-capital formation tables are available. Combining the input-output tables and fixed-capital formation tables resulted in 54 industries. IT outsourcing is measured as the value of computer-related services purchased by each industry in a given year. All the variables have been converted to 2000 Korean Won using GDP deflators. To calculate labor hours, we use the average work hours for each sector provided by the OECD. To effectively control for heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation present in our dataset, we use the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) procedures. Because the AR1 process may be industry-specific (i.e., panel-specific), we consider both common AR1 and panel-specific AR1 (PSAR1) processes in our estimations. We also include year dummies to control for year-specific effects common across industries, and sector dummies (as defined in the GDP deflator) to control for time-invariant sector-specific effects. Based on the full sample of 378 observations, we find that a 1% increase in IT outsourcing is associated with a 0.012~0.014% increase in gross output and a 1% increase in IT capital is associated with a 0.024~0.027% increase in gross output. To compare the contribution of IT outsourcing relative to that of IT capital, we examined gross marginal product (GMP). The average GMP of IT outsourcing was 6.423, which is substantially greater than that of IT capital at 2.093. This indicates that on average if an industry invests KRW 1 millon, it can increase its output by KRW 6.4 million. In terms of the contribution to labor productivity, we find that a 1% increase in IT outsourcing is associated with a 0.009~0.01% increase in labor productivity while a 1% increase in IT capital is associated with a 0.024~0.025% increase in labor productivity. Overall, our results indicate that IT outsourcing has made positive and economically meaningful contributions to output and productivity in Korean industries over the 1990 to 2007 period. The average GMP of IT outsourcing we report about Korean industries is 1.44 times greater than that in U.S. industries reported in Han et al. (2010). Further, we find that the contribution of IT outsourcing has been significantly greater in the 2000~2007 period during which the growth of IT outsourcing accelerated. Our study provides implication for policymakers and managers. First, our results suggest that Korean industries can capture further benefits by increasing investments in IT outsourcing. Second, our analyses and results provide a basis for managers to assess the impact of investments in IT outsourcing and IT capital in an objective and quantitative manner. Building on our study, future research should examine the impact of IT outsourcing at a more detailed industry level and the firm level.

21세기가 도래하면서 지식화, 정보화, 기술화 등 중소기업을 둘러싼 경영 환경은 급변하고 있다. 이와 같이 급변하는 기업 환경은 대기업보다 신축적이고 탄력적인 중소기업에 보다 유리한 환경이라고 볼 수 있다. 또한 21세기의 명실상부한 창조성을 갖춘 중소기업이 산업발전의 주역으로 등장할 수 있는 경영환경으로 인식되어진다. 중소기업이 국민경제에 차지하는 비중과 역할은 매우 중요하다. 지방자치제의 실시와 지역 경제의 활성화 시책 등은 일반적으로 그 지역 사회를 존립기반으로 하고 있는 중소기업의 지위를 더욱 증대시키게 될 것이다. 그러나 디자이너 입장에서는 경영자에게 산업디자인의 효과적 활용방법이나 그 유효성 등을 충분히 인식시키거나 이해시키지 못한 문제점도 많은 것으로 지적되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 정부시책으로 수많은 국내 중소기업이 비교적 단기간 내에 자사제품의 경쟁력 향상을 위한 수단으로 산업디자인을 활용하게 되었으며, 아울러 경영자 및 산업디자이너 양자가 현실적인 면에서 산업디자인에 대한 인식을 새롭게 하거나 그 유효성이나 문제점 등을 평가해 볼 수 있는 계기가 마련된 일은 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 이러한 인식 하에서 본 연구는 국내 중소기업이 디자인을 경영레벨에서 전략적으로 활용하고 있는지, 디자인 경영 전략 구축은 잘 실행되고 있는지, 실무 디자이너와 CEO의 디자인 경영에 대한 인식 수준은 어느 정도 인지를 파악함으로써 여러 문제점들에 대한 새로운 해결 방법을 모색하고자 하는 데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 따라서 본 연구를 위하여 디자인 실무자, 중소기업 경영 CEO등을 대상으로 설문조사와 직접면접방식으로 실증분석을 통하여 중소기업의 경쟁력을 높이기 위한 디자인의 활용과 대책을 제시하였다.

The family value is expected to play a crucial role in adjusting a new environment for the family, especially in the critical situation as having a child with cancer in the family. The purpose of the study was to analyze the family values of the family with cancer children in order to offer descriptive data, which will facilitate family adjustment with cancer children. The survey was conducted from July 18, 2000 to August 30, 2000 and the analysis included 309 parents of the children who have been diagnosed as cancer, 18 years of age or less, and treated either hospitalized or at the outpatient clinics. Two instruments were used to measure family value. The modified form of General family value scale was 18 items with a 5 points of Likert response format (Cronbach alpha= .78) and Family value scale was developed for the study with 12 items on a 5 points of Likert response format(Cronbach alpha= .73). The data analysis utilized SAS 6.12 for percentage, frequency, Mean, and t-test of demographic characteristics and mean, F score, ANOVA, and Duncan follow-up test of variable relationships. The study findings were as follows. 1) In General family value, the fathers gave the higher scores to 'The children should live with their parents'(M=4.01), and 'A parents and their children are like one body' (M=3.91). The item with lowest score was 'Its not impossible for man to have extramarital relationship'(M=1.92). The mothers thought the most important items were 'A parents and their children are like one body'(M=3.79), and 'A wife needs to be patient to keep harmony of the family' (M=3.56), and the item with lowest score was 'Its not impossible for man to have extramarital relationship'(M=1.44). 2) The mean scores of the mothers were higher than the fathers for all items in family value with cancer children, while fathers gave more points for items in general family value. Both of parents gave the highest score to 'The health of the family is most important to me'(M=4.85 for fathers, M=4.97 for mothers), and followed by 'The husband and wife need to be patient and understand each other to overcome the difficulties'. The item with lowest scores was 'The parents can have conflicts in making decisions since their child was sick'(M=3.34 for fathers, M=3.37 for mothers). 3) There were significant differences between fathers and mothers in items of General family value; fathers gave more points to the items of 'The children should live with their parents', 'Its essential to hold the ceremony to respect their forefathers', 'Its not impossible for man to have extramarital relationship', 'A woman with two daughters should have one more baby to succeed the generation', 'The husbands are responsible for the household economy', and 'When his mother and wife dont get along, the man should be on his mothers side'. However, there was no significant difference between fathers and mothers in items of Family value with cancer children. 4) The general family value was significantly different by the birth order of cancer children, mothers age, mothers education level, and types of payment. On the other hand, the family value with cancer children was significantly different by the age of cancer children, period of illness, period after completing treatment, family type, the number of family members, and the number of total children.

Purpose. For a more efficient hospital management, this study aims to provide basic data so that the hospital management and staff in charge of hospital administration may systematically classify and collect hospital information, by analyzing the ordinary characters of an upper-level general hospital system and its common-type balance sheet, common-type profit and loss statement and financial ratio. Methods. By using information about an upper-level general hospital in C Province, provided by Alio(www.alio.go.kr), a public organization information provision site, Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service(www.hira.or.kr) and Ministry of Health and Welfare(www.mw.go.kr), this study analyzed 3 year's data from 2010 to 2012 and provided basic data by analyzing the ordinary characters of an upper-level general hospital system, and its common-type balance sheet, common-type profit and loss statement and financial ratio. Results. After analyzing the ordinary characters, common-type balance sheet, common-type proft and loss statement and financial ration of this general hospital, based on the 2010 to 2012 data, this study came to the following conclusions. Firstly, out of all the 1,069 hospital staff, there were 272 doctors working for 24 medical departments, out of whom the majority was 33 physicians. Most of the nurses were third-class ones, and about 2,000 outpatients and 600 inpatients on average were treated per day. Secondly, as a result of analyzing the common-type balance sheet, this study discovered that intangible assets out of fixed assets accounted for 41%, the majority, out of which usable and profitable donation asset buildings were of great importance, and the liquid assets increased more in 2012 than 2011. In the financial structure, the ratio of liquid liabilities was over 50% out of all the liabilities in 2012, and the ratio of purchase payables was high as well. The ratio of fixed liabilities reached up to 40%, out of which the retirement benefit appropriation fund was quite high. The capital was over 80%, but the surplus was in a deficit state. Compared to the capital, the ratio of total liabilities was about 90%, which indicates the financial structure of this general hospital was vulnerable. Thirdly, as a result of analyzing the common-type profit and loss statement, this study found out that the medical profits from inpatients were higher than profits from outpatients. The material cost was related to the medical quality of this general hospital, and it was as high as 30% out of the total costs and was about 45% of the labor cost. This general hospital showed 10% in the ratio of non-medical profits, and it seemed because of government subsidies. The ratios of medical profits and current net income were gradually changing for the better in 2012, compared to 2011. Lastly, as a result of analyzing the financial ratio, it was found that the liquidity ratio kept decreasing, from 110.7% in 2010 and 102.0% in 2011 to 77.2% in 2012. Besides, it was analyzed that the liquidity ratio and the net working capital ratio greatly decreased, while the quick ratio and the liquid ratio kept decreasing. Conclusions. 1. It is necessary to take the risk management into more consideration, and particularly, it is needed to differentiate and manage the levels of risk in detail. 2. By considering the fact that investments into hospital infrastructures were mostly based on liabilities, it is needed to deal with the scale of losses when evaluating risks. 3. By reflecting the character that investments into hospital infrastructures were based on liabilities, it is necessary to consider the ratio of ordinary profits as well as the ratio of operating profits to sales, and it is also important to consider sales productivity factors, such as the sales amount per a sickbed, by comparing them with other hospitals. As for limitations of this study, there may be some problems in terms of data interpretation because of the lack of information about the number of inpatients and the number of outpatients per year, which are needed for the break-even point analysis. Besides, to suggest a direction for the improvement of hospital management through analyses, non-financial factors should be reflected, such as the trend of economy, medical policies, and politic backgrounds. However, this study only focused on the common-type balance sheet, common-type profit and loss statement and financial ratio, so this study is actually limited to generalizing all the factors by analyzing public data only.

In today's rapidly changing and increasingly competitive business environment, new product development in tune with market trends in a timely manner has been a matter of the utmost concern for all enterprises. Indeed, developing a sustainable new business has been a top priority for not only business enterprises, but also for the government policy makers accountable for the health of Its national economy as well as for decision makers in what type of organizations. Further, for a soft landing of new businesses, building a government-initiated industry base has been claimed to be necessary as a way to effectively boost corporate activities. However, the existing methodology in new service and new product development is not suitable for nurturing industry, because it is mainly focused on the research and development of corporate business activities instead of new product development. The approach for developing new business is based on 'innovation' and 'convergence.' Yet, the convergence among technologies, supplies, businesses and industries is believed to be more effective than innovation alone as a way to gain momentum. Therefore, it has become more important than ever to study a new methodology based on convergence in industrial quality new product development (NPD) and new service development (NDS). In this research, therefore, we reviewed any restrictions in the existing new product and new service development methodology and the existing business model development methodology. In doing so, we conducted industry standard collaboration analysis on a new service model development methodology in the private sector and the public sector. This approach is fundamentally different from the existing one in that ours focuses on new business development under private management. The suggested framework can be categorized into industry level and service level. First, in the industry level, we define new business opportunities In occurrence of convergence between businesses. For this, we analyze the existing industry at the industry level to identify the opportunities in a market and its business attractiveness, based on which the convergence industry is formulated. Also, through the analysis of environment and market opportunity at the industry level. we can trace how different industries are lined to one another so as to extend the result of the study to develop better insights into industry expansion and new industry emergence. After then, in the service level, we elicit the service for the defined new business, which is composed of private service and supporting service for nurturing industry. Private service includes 3steps: plan-design-do; supporting service for nurturing industry has 4 steps: selection-make environment- business preparation-do and see. The existing methodology focuses on mainly securing business competitiveness, building a business model for success, and offering new services based on the core competence of companies. This suggested methodology, on other hand, suggests the necessity of service development, when new business opportunities arise, in relation to the opportunity analysis of supporting service based on the clear understanding of new business supporting infrastructure optimization. Meanwhile, we have performed case studies on the printing and publishing field with the restrict procedure and development system to assure the feasibility and practical application. Even though the printing and publishing industry is considered a typical knowledge convergence industry, it is also known as a low-demand and low-value industry in Korea. For this reason, we apply the new methodology and suggest the direction and the possibility of how the printing and publishing industry can be transformed as a core dynamic force for new growth. Then, we suggest the base composition service for industry promotion(public) and business opportunities for private's profitability(private).
