In applying Markowitz's portfolio selection model to the stock market, we developed a comprehensive investment decision-making framework including key inputs for portfolio theory (i.e., individual stocks' expected rate of return and covariance) and minimum required expected return. For estimating the key inputs of our decision-making framework, we utilized an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) which places more emphasis on recent data than the conventional simple moving average (SMA). We empirically analyzed the investment results of the decision-making framework with the same 15 stocks in Samsung Group Funds found in the Korean stock market between 2007 and 2011. This five-year investment horizon is marked by global financial crises including the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the European sovereign-debt crisis. We measure portfolio performance in terms of rate of return, standard deviation of returns, and Sharpe ratio. Results are compared with the following benchmarks : 1) KOSPI, 2) Samsung Group Funds, 3) Talmudic portfolio based on the na$\ddot{i}$ve 1/N rule, and 4) Markowitz's model with SMA. We performed sensitivity analyses on all the input parameters that are necessary for designing an investment decision-making framework : smoothing constant for EWMA, minimum required expected return for the portfolio, and portfolio rebalancing period. In conclusion, appropriate use of the comprehensive investment decision-making framework based on the Markowitz's model integrated with EWMA proves to achieve outstanding performance compared to the benchmarks.

In recent decades, financial crises in various countries have often been preceded by the rise in non-performing loans (NPLs) in the banks' asset portfolios. The increase in NPLs is proven to have adverse impact on the banking sector so that understanding the determinant of NPLs is immensely crucial to ensure the efficiency and soundness of the overall economy. This study aims to shed light on bank-specific factors that affect loan default problems in developing countries whose banking sectors play a major role in the overall economy. This study analyzes panel data sets of 36 commercial banks listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange during the period 2008-2015. Applying fixed-effects panel regression model reveals that Indonesian banks' profitability and credit growth negatively influence the number of NPLs. Moreover, banks with higher profitability are proven to have lower NPLs because they can afford adequate credit management practices. Likewise, banks with higher credit growth evidently have lower NPLs in the sense that they demonstrate more specialized lending activity and thus have better credit management systems. These findings imply that, in order to lower loan defaults that can deteriorate banks' asset quality, banks should maintain their level of profitability and increase, rather than decrease, their credit supply to debtors.

This paper examined the present status of local newspapers and their problems. It was originated from the fact that the number of local newspapers have continuously increased since 1987 when the establishment of newspaper company became convenient, and that as a result the competition among local newspapers became high and several unexpected negative out comes brought forth. The analytical focus of this parer was placed on the internal and external environments surroundings local newspapers. The results showed followings: There are too many local newspapers competing each other in the same area; Financial crises mainly caused by over-competition are critical; Ownership and business operations are too distorted to take the socially expected role of newspapers; Many newspapers are often mobilized for the political and economic purposes of the owner; Market rules and advertising inducement practices are likely to be violated because of over-competition; the morales of Journalists are decreased and work qualities are deteriorated. On the basis of these findings this paper suggested several policy implications: The structure of ownership has to be changed into a direction where a few major stock-holders cannot influence the whole business operations; Top managers have to change their business motivation from profit-seeking to profit-sharing; business practices has to be open and clean; New editorial polices attracting readers have to be established; qualified Journalists have to be recruited and they have to be retrained throughout their career life.

The outbreak of a recent strain of Coronavirus, known as 'COVID-19', has spread sharply from China across the globe, resulting in a dramatic recession in the global economy. This uncertainty has therefore negatively influenced the business perspective and the various formulated strategies that may not considered such [extreme] circumstances. Using baseline analysis and archival data, this paper reports some of the major implications of COVID-19 on global business and strategy and puts forward suggested research agenda as potential future directions for organizations. In order to survive and remain sustainable, this paper argues that businesses need to revisit their strategies during current COVID-19 crises from three perspectives, including supporting human resources financial commitment, forming cross-functional teams and connecting with their supply chains, as well as investing in corporate social responsibility and doubling down efforts with regard to partnerships. The study also represents a preliminary analysis to the implications of COVID-19 on the business and strategies across the globe and is considered the first such in the field of business, as to date all research papers on COVID-19 have been published in medical-related journals. Directions for future research are also proposed at the end of this study.

In this thesis, Chapter I Introduction suggested the necessity of this research and defined related terms, and Chapter II defined hospice for children and examined the symptoms of pediatric cancers as well as the general characteristics of pediatric cancer patients. In particular, we surveyed the physical condition, psychological and emotional condition, financial condition, environmental aspect, educational aspect and spiritual aspect of pediatric cancer patients’ families, investigated pediatric cancer patients’ parents and siblings with regard to their understanding of the pediatric cancer patients’ death, and lastly considered spiritual care. Chapter III presented summaries and conclusions. In their developmental stage, pediatric cancer patients lack abilities to express themselves and are highly dependent on their parents, so parents who take care of cancer children have to make hard decisions and cancer children’s families are heavily burdened by the situation of preparing their children’s death and sending them away while denying their death, and for this reason they need help from specialists. That is, for pediatric cancer patients, we need highly experienced pediatricians or nurses skilful in managing young terminal patients as well as hospice counseling and family counselors for consulting on family crises. In particular, there is a keen need of child life support specialists. In addition, clergymen’s help is critical for spiritual care to ease the fear and terror of the unknown world, fear of death, etc. Moreover, in order to prevent cancer children from failing to adjust themselves to school life or peer relation after recovery, hospice service should provide cancer children with opportunities to learn school curriculums and associate with friends.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the restaurant business adversely. The restaurant business is essential for Thailand's economy as it generates high income and a high employment rate. This study aimed to determine the relationships between restaurant businesses. Furthermore, it examined the problems encountered during COVID-19 and measures already implemented and planned. The research is intended to resolve these issues. We collected data from 136 people who worked in restaurants in Bangkok, Thailand, via telephone interviews. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and correspondence analysis using SPSS. The findings of this analysis indicate that all restaurants, irrespective of their size, face problems, though their planned and remedial actions are different. One finding was that medium restaurants face more financial problems and increased costs than others. They are countering this challenge through measures such as applying for loans and transitioning into a "non-restaurant" business. Nevertheless, typical medium restaurants have not engaged in extensive planning for the future. Based on a fact-finding survey, we considered appropriate short- and long-term measures suitable for micro, small and medium restaurants. In addition, our study's findings will help policymakers and practitioners identify strategies for responding to the COVID-19 outbreak and other future crises.

기업의 부도는 이해관계자들뿐 아니라 사회에도 경제적으로 큰 손실을 야기한다. 따라서 기업부도예측은 경영학 연구에 있어 중요한 연구주제 중 하나로 다뤄져 왔다. 기존의 연구에서는 부도 예측을 위해 다변량판별분석, 로짓분석, 신경망분석 등 다양한 방법론을 이용하여 모형의 부도 예측력을 높이고 과적합의 문제를 해결하고자 시도하였다. 하지만 기존의 연구들이 시간적 요소를 고려하지 않아 발생할 수 있는 문제점들을 갖고 있음에도 불구하고 부도 예측에 있어서 동적 모형을 이용한 연구는 활발히 진행되고 있지 않으며 따라서 동적 모형을 이용하여 부도예측모형이 더욱 개선될 여지가 있다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 RNN(Recurrent Neural Network)을 이용하여 시계열 재무 데이터의 동적 변화를 반영한 모형을 만들었으며 기존의 부도예측모형들과의 비교분석을 통해 부도 예측력의 향상에 도움이 된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 모형의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 KIS Value의 재무 데이터를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였고 비교모형으로는 다변량판별분석, 로짓분석, SVM, 인공신경망을 선정하였다. 실험 결과 제안된 모형이 비교 모형에 비해 우수한 예측력을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 변수들의 변화를 포착하는 동적 모형을 부도예측에 새롭게 제안하여 부도예측 연구의 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문의 주제는 국제금융위기 전,후 시기를 포함하는 연구기간을 기준으로, 관련 유사 연구들이 현재기준 상대적으로 미약하다고 판단되는 국내 자본시장의 소위 재벌그룹 계열사(재벌기업)들의 시장가치와 장부가치 기준 수익성 지표들의 재무적 결정요인들에 대한 분석이다. 최근 국내 재벌기업들의 전반적인 수익성의 감소 추세와 그 중, 일부 기업들로의 비중 증가 성향을 고려하여, 동 수익성 결정요인에 대한 재무적 측면에서의 분석이 요구될 수 있다고 판단된다. 수익성 지표관련 3가지 가설검정 결과로 부터 다음과 같은 재무적 특징이 도출되었다: 첫째, 본 연구의 시계열과 횡단면적 자료 분석관련 패널자료모형 측정을 통한 수익성 결정요인 검정 결과, 장부가기준 수익성지표에 대한 통계상 유의적 변수들로서는 장부가와 시장가 기준의 부채비율들, 시가대비 장부가 비율, 순이익위험도, 자유현금흐름, 그리고 외국인지분율 등으로 판명되었고, 시장가 기준 수익성 결정요인으로는 부채비율 (즉, 이자비용/영업이익)만이 동 수익률에 유의적 영향력을 보였다. 또한, 공변량분석과 Tukey 다중비교분석을 이용한 산업별 수익성 차이 분석에 대한 2번째 가설검정 결과, 장부가 기준, 재벌기업과 비재벌기업 모두, 해당 표본산업들 중, 화학업종과 식품업종에서 상대적으로 높은 수익률을 나타난 반면, 시장가 기준으로는 재벌소속 기업들이 전자통신산업에서 최상의 수익성을 나타내었다. 마지막으로 조정된 '듀퐁시스템'을 이용한 재벌기업과 비재벌기업간의 수익성 해당 요인별 분석에서는 '영업이익매출액' 비율과 '총자산회전율' 요인들에서, 전자가 후자인 비재벌소속 기업들보다 상대적으로 상위수준임을 모수와 비모수 통계적 측정치를 통하여 유의적으로 판명되었다.

무위험 이자율 평형은 환율과 금리 간의 관계를 체계적으로 설명한 조건식으로서 개방거시분석 등에 널리 활용되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 동 조건 성립 여부에 대한 검증은 국가별 거시경제 여건 등의 상이성 등으로 인해 뚜렷한 합의를 이루지 못하고 있다. 특히 글로벌 금융위기 전후 주요국의 정책대응은 국제금융시장에 큰 변화를 가져왔으며, 한국을 포함한 신흥국 시장에도 간접적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 관점에서 본고는 글로벌 금융위기 전후 우리나라 무위험 이자율 평형조건의 동태성을 국면전환모형으로 모델링하고 베이지안 MCMC 방식에 기반하여 추정한 다음, 추정 결과를 바탕으로 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다. 추정 결과, 세 개의 구조변화를 가정한 모형이 우리나라 이자율 평형조건의 동태성을 가장 잘 성명하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최근에는 평형조건의 불균형 정도가 크게 완화되고 변동성도 안정적인 상태에 진입한 것으로 분석되었다. 본고는 이러한 추정 결과를 얻은 주된 이유가 글로벌 유동성 증가에 따른 외국인 채권 차익거래와 단기 원화 및 외화 자금시장의 연계성 강화에 주로 기인한 것으로 판단하였다. 추정방식 측면에서 본고는 모형 내에 구조 변화를 가정하지 않는 기존 연구를 한층 더 정교하게 발전시켰다는 점에서 기존 연구와 차별화될 뿐만 아니라 추정 결과를 해석하는 과정에서 단기 원화 및 외화 자금시장의 성격 변화에 주목하였다는 점에서 기존에 시도하지 않은 무척 새로운 접근방식이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 본고의 정책적 시사점은 이자율 평형조건의 동태성 등을 고려하여 정책당국이 시장모니터링을 더욱 강화하고 새로운 정책수단을 발굴할 필요가 있다는 점 등이다.
