Purpose: Many firms have implemented Six Sigma in order to improve employee's creativity and performance. However, few researchers have studied the effect of Six Sigma on performance through creativity process. This study aims to investigate the impact of Six Sigma, exploitation, and exploration on performance. Methods: Based on literature review, this paper develops hypotheses and tests them by employing a structural equations model. Using survey data of 209 Six Sigma experts who have conducted Six Sigma projects from different companies, this study empirically shows that the activities for Six Sigma enhance exploitation, exploration, and performance. Results: Six Sigma affects exploration and exploitation, each of which in turn enhances performance. It is noted that Six Sigma has an indirect influence on performance through exploitation and exploration. Conclusion: Apart from Parast(2011) who insists that Six Sigma is effective in improving exploitation rather than exploration, this study suggest that Six Sigma can affect both in order to enhance corporate performance.

This study attempts to investigate the effect of team diversity on individual creativity and team members' creative activities such as exploration and exploitation. We have garnered 40 team data from 249 respondents who have been participating in the team learning activities during semester in a private university. They were asked by instructor to show their creativity, and exploration and exploitation activities. The 40 teams were made up of team diversity factors such as study hour and leisure activity. We used a multilevel analysis to analyze the effects of team diversity factors on team member's creativity, and exploration and exploitation. Results showed that in general, team diversity factors like study hour and leisure activities have significant effects on the individual creativity, and exploration and exploitation. Practical implications represent that teams need to be organized considering the team diversity factors in order to improve team member's creativity, and their exploration and exploitation activities.

In today's turbulent business landscape, a firm's ability to explore new IT capabilities and exploit current ones is essential for enabling organizational agility and achieving high organizational performance. We propose IT exploration and exploitation as two critical organizational learning processes that are essential for gaining and sustaining competitive advantages. However, it remains unclear how the emerging cloud-based IT architecture affects an organization's ability to explore and exploit its IT capabilities. We conceptualize modularity and virtuality as two critical dimensions of emerging cloud-based IT architecture and investigate how they affect IT exploration and exploitation. We test our hypotheses using data obtained from our field survey of IT managers. We find that modularity is positively associated with both exploration and exploitation whereas virtuality is positively associated with exploration, but not with exploitation. We also find that the effect of modularity on exploitation is stronger than its effect on exploration.

본 연구는 동적역량과 혁신성과 간의 관계를 탐험과 활용의 관점에서 구분된 운영역량과 IT역량이 조절하고 매개하는지를 조사하였다. 178개 기업의 설문지를 분석한 결과, 포착역량과 재구성역량이 점진적 혁신성과와 급진적 혁신성과에 정(+), 탐험적 운영역량과 활용적 운영역량이 점진적 혁신성과에 정(+), 탐험적 운영역량이 급진적 혁신성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있다. 또한 유의적인 상호작용항은 점진적 혁신성과에 대하여 '탐험적 운영역량*탐험적 IT역량', '탐험적 운영역량*활용적 IT역량', '활용적 운영역량*활용적 IT역량' 등이며, 급진적 혁신성과에 대하여 '탐험적 운영역량*탐험적 IT역량'이다. 유의한 매개효과가 검증된 경우는 7가지였다. 본 연구의 의미는 동적역량이 혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 직접 효과와 간접효과로 나누어 실증적인 연구를 최초로 시도하였으며 운영역량과 IT역량을 탐험과 활용 역량으로 구분하여 정밀한 분석을 하였다는 점이다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 기업이 적응하고 진화하는데 동적역량과 운영역량이 상호보완적인 역할을 한다는 시사점을 얻을 수 있다.

탐색은 도전적인 업무 환경을 제공하지만, 높은 수준의 복잡성과 모호성을 동시에 제공한다. 그에 반해, 활용은 덜 도전적인 업무 환경을 제공하며, 낮은 수준의 복잡성과 모호성을 제공한다. 이러한 두 활동의 특성을 고려해 보면, 두 가지 활동을 동시에 프로젝트 매니저들에게 할당하는 것은 가장 좋은 프로젝트 작업 환경을 제공한다고 볼 수 있다. 168명의 프로젝트 매니저들의 프로젝트 데이터를 바탕으로 로짓 회귀분석을 통해 가설을 검증한 결과 활용 프로젝트 경험이 있는 매니저들은 활용 프로젝트에서 높은 성과를 보였고, 활용과 탐색 프로젝트 경험이 있는 매니저들은 프로젝트의 종류에 관계없이 높은 프로젝트 성과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

The exploitation of the natural resources of the Moon and other celestial bodies represents one of the most exiting future developments in the field of space law as well as a unique occasion for the economic and social growth of mankind as a whole. The large number of benefits that are expected to be generated from the exploitation of these resources, indeed, not only will contribute to the betterment of conditions of people on Earth but also will allow mankind to face and likely solve one of the biggest problems currently affecting our planet, namely the exhaustion of the stocks of raw materials and other source of energy, such as fossil fuels. The exploitation of the natural resources of the Moon and other celestial bodies, however, has been prevented so far by the absence of dedicated space law rules allowing its orderly and peaceful development and clarifying the rights and duties of the parties involved in it. Due to the uncertainty generated by the absence of these rules, indeed, States as well as private operators have refrained from investing in the exploitation of space resources so far. The time to change this situation and to allow the exploitation of extraterrestrial resources to begin has finally come. This paper aims at fulfilling this purpose by proposing a legal regime containing specific and detailed rules to regulate the exploitation of the natural resources of the Moon and other celestial bodies.

본 연구는 초경쟁적인 환경에서 온라인개발회사가 동태적 역량을 만들어 낼 수 있는 조직학습인 활용과 탐험에 대하여 엔씨소프트 사례를 중심으로 분석하였다. 학습, 루틴, 기존환경과의 적합성을 특징으로 하는 활용은 점진적 혁신을 이끌어 내는 반면, 비학습, 변화하는 환경에의 유연성과 관련된 탐험은 급진적인 혁신을 이끌어 낸다. 문헌연구를 바탕으로 우선 엔씨소프트의 활용과 탐험 활동을 온라인 게임산업의 사이클에 따라 검증하였다. 다음으로 엔씨소프트의 다양한 게임서비스의 사이클을 중심으로 활용과 탐험에 대해 살펴보았다. 온라인게임시장에서 비교적 빠르게 선도적 입지를 구축한 엔씨소프트는 온라인 게임산업 태동기와 성장기에는 활용 활동을 주로 하였으나, 산업의 성숙기에는 탐험활동을 늘여 왔다. 또한 각 게임서비스 라인의 신작 출시 및 기술개발에는 탐험활동을, 지속적인 패치 서비스 업데이트와 마케팅 및 시스템구축에는 활용활동을 수행하였다. 이것은 온라인 게임회사가 활용과 탐험의 균형을 통해 지속적인 경쟁우위를 창출할 수 있음을 시사한다.

International Seabed Authority (ISA) is currently developing rules with regard to exploitation of manganese nodules which will be contained in its first regulations governing the exploitation of deep seabed mineral resources. A stakeholder survey was conducted in the early 2014 by ISA with the aim of facilitating participation of interested entities in the development process of the rules. The stakeholders who had replied to the survey included existing contractors, sponsoring States, environmentalists, academics, and nongovernmental organizations. Opinions given by them largely reflect their own interests. This paper aims to clarify the scope of the obligations regarding the environmental protection which may be imposed on contractors under the new regulations for the exploitation of manganese nodules. To do so, it first analyses the express provisions on environmental protection applicable to deep seabed mining included in the Law of the Sea Convention, its agreement on implementation of Part XI, and the regulations on exploration for manganese nodules. Secondly, it categorizes these obligations based on the categories of international obligations suggested by Combacau and Alland. Based on the categorizations this paper concludes that, in addition to the existing duties to protect deep seabed environment within the Law of the Sea Convention system, the following new obligations could be added: conservation of exploitation sites for a limited time after the contract is ceased; taking all necessary measures for rehabilitation of destroyed ecosystems that occurredas a result of mining activities; monitoring exploitation sites for a limited period time after the contract is ceased; observing rules and standards on safety of ships and environmental protection adopted under IMO instruments; regulation on the discharge of mine tailings from the facilities used for exploitation of deep sea minerals. Lastly, this paper attempts to provide ways of reflecting national interests in terms of potential obligations which may be included in the new regulations.
