In order to understand the factory automation of the larger clothing firms, the case study method was used. The case study samples were 3 clothing firms. The results and suggestions are as follows: 1. An information technology for automated clothing manufacture has enabled the computer integrated manufacturing system to connect production planning and management part with each work station on the factory floor. 2. The apparel information system to integrate and manage manufacturing informations from each workstation and the apparel CAD system are used in the department of production planning. At the cutting room, there are automated manufacturing machines like an automatic spreading system and an automatic cutting system. Sewing room has the computer controlled unit production system and semi-automated sewing machines. In addition, in the finishing room, an automatic packing machine and a press system are used and besides a warehousing system has been developed. Considering these available technology, for better product efficiency, it is necessary to consider and utilize the specific character of these automatic manufacturing machines and computer system whether they proper to each product style. 3. Most of the clothing manufacturers are in the stage of semi-automated manufacture. In order to improve the manufacturing environment, it is needed to gradual procedure of manufacturing automation with considering the firm's financial condition, existing facilities and staffs operating machines. The case study sample firms are in the high degree of manufacturing automation. They can accomplish the flexible manufacturing system to link the information system with each work station menufacturing system by computerized control. For the case of the firm having already used the computer integrated manufacturing and managing system, it is necessary that the function to deal with drawing information is added to the retaining module of the apparel system.

The research aims to analyze the firm-specific and macroeconomic factors that affect insurance company's financial performance. The research explores the variables that influence the financial performance of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)' insurance companies. The analysis for determining financial performance considers the following variables: the firm's age, retention ratio, capital adequacy, underwriting risk/loss ratio, financial-leverage, reinsurance dependency, and macro-economic factors such as GDP per capita, inflation rate considered as independent factors. The return-on-asset (ROA) is the key measuring indicator; it is regarded as the dependent variable for financial performance measures. The research focuses on secondary information obtained from insurance companies' financial statements. The researcher targeted 18 insurance companies listed on the UAE stock exchanges for study purposes. The research examines the overall factors that influence the financial performance of an insurance company. For analysis of data, software package of social sciences (SPSS version 20) is used. The studies used correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to determine financial performance and their effects. The analysis suggests that there are important and constructive relationships between the size, capital adequacy, and reinsurance dependency, while loss ratio, retention ratio, and financial leverage indicate a major negative relationship. And there's no link between GDP per capita and inflation.

This paper aims to explore the relationship between the quality of the audit and the level of stock return co-movement in the context of the Vietnamese emerging market. The empirical study is designed based on the quatitative method and deductive approach. The panel dataset includes 256 listed firms from different industries,with 1115 firm-year observations on Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange for the period from 2014 to 2018. In the research, we built the econometric regression model, using stock return synchronicity and audit quality as the dependent and independent variable, respectively. Some control variables are also added to the econometric regression models as they are well-documented in prior research to have an effect on stock price synchronicity. To improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients, beside the Ordinary Least Squares, we employ the Random Effects Model and the Fixed Effects Model for better statistical analysis of panel data set. The results show that the quality of the audit is positively correlated to stock price synchronicity. This finding suggests that stock returns of companies with higher quality of the audit are more synchronous with the market. Results for other control variables also support our reasoning for the main findings.

The purpose of this study is to extract the characteristic cost through the time series analysis of each cost from 2003 to 2014, and to grasp the performance and relevance of the enterprise. Therefore, in this section, we analyzed the time-series analysis of selling, administrative, and non-operating expenses as described above. First, depreciation cost, advertising cost, transportation cost, research cost, current research cost, and ordinary development cost were extracted as the variables of interest to be verified in the empirical analysis. However, in the analysis of non-operating expenses, we could not extract the specific cost, but we could grasp the time-series flow of cost data before and after two epochs such as financial crisis and introduction of IFRS obligation. The results of this study show that sales management costs have a positive (+) effect on firm value. Empirical analysis confirms that management is trying to increase or decrease the cost This can be confirmed by the empirical results of this paper. At present, general enterprise accounting is done through ERP system. However, since the ERP system does not have an analysis system for each sales and management cost, the current system has difficulty in knowing the budget item for each cost each time the expenditure resolution for each cost item is made, It is a reality that the expenditure plan must be managed separately and it is inconvenient to keep it. However, if this practical difficulty is solved by the cost analysis system such as sales management cost, the present accounting information system will be further developed. Furthermore, the management will increase the profit item It is thought that coordination actions can also be prevented in advance.

Purpose - This paper aims to examine the determinants of SWFs' investment in Asian countries and to identify consistent investment patterns of SWFs in specific target firms from Asia, particularly China and South Korea. Design/methodology - This study extends the Tobin's Q model to examine the relationship between SWF investments in target firms and their returns with other firm-level control variables. We collect consistent data on SWF investments and the matched firm-level data on target firms, which of observation is 1,512 firms (333 in South Korea and 1,179 in China) targeted by 20 SWF sources during 1997-2017. The panel random effect model is used to estimate the extended Tobin's Q model. The robustness of the estimations is tested by the simultaneous equation models and the panel GEE model. Findings - The evidence shows that sovereign wealth funds are more inclined to invest in the financial sector with a monopoly position and in large firms with higher growth opportunity and superior cash asset ratios in China. In contrast to their investments in China, sovereign wealth funds in South Korea prefer to invest in strategic sectors, such as energy and information technology, and in large firms with high performance and low leverage. Sovereign wealth funds' investments tend to significantly improve the target firm's performance measured by sales growth and returns in both Korea and China. Originality/value - The existing literature focuses on examining the determination of SWFs investment in the developed countries, such as Europe and the United States. Our paper contributes to the literature in three ways; first, we analyzes case studies of SWF investments in Asian markets, which are less developed and riskier. Second, we examine whether the determination of SWF investment in Asian target firms depends on the different time periods, on types of sources of SWFs, and on acquiring countries. Third, our research uses vast sample data on target firms in longer time periods (1997-2017) than other previous studies on the SWFs for Asian markets.

Venture Capital Firms (VCs) encounter severe information asymmetry risks at almost every stage in their investment lifecycle. This paper explores the agency risks arising from information asymmetry during the stage of exits by VCs from the funded companies in their portfolio and how that impacts the incidence of specific types of type of exits (IPOs/M&As). In this empirical study, by using the data on IPO and M&A exits from venture capital-funded companies, we show how the ability of prospective buyers to better resolve agency risks is directly correlated with the incidence of the above exit types. Using the technique of logistic regression, we demonstrate that factors such as syndication, specialization focus of the VC firm (in terms of stage and sector) and the level of its social capital (proxied by its age and experience) drive the success rate of exits. This is one of first studies in context of exits from VC funded companies in the Indian context.

Purpose - Studies of mechanism as a competitive strategy, a relatively new field in the study of strategic management research, has recently drawn the attention of the business management scholars. The literature has so far proposed the subjective-based view, environment-based view, and the resource-based view in its analyses of firm management. Hence, it is highly likely for the firm management to be reasonably thought of as a combination of and interaction among the three key elements of subject, environment, and resources this is the mechanism-based view (MBV). It is reasonable to consider firm management to be the combination of and interaction among the three key elements of subject, environment, and resources. The overall dynamic process that integrates these three elements and creates functional harmony is identified as the mechanism, the principle of firm management. Much of the extant literatures on MBV has mainly focused on case studies, a qualitative approach prone to subjectivity of the researcher, although the intuition from the study may lead to meaningful insights into a firm-specific mechanism. This study's focus is also on case analysis, but it still attempts a quantitative approach in order to reach a scientific and systematic understanding of the MBV. Research design, data, and methodology - I used both a qualitative and quantitative approach to a single model, given the complexity of the innovation processes. I conducted in-depth interviews with POSCO employees-20 from general management, two from human resources, eight from information technology, five from finance and accounting, and five from production and logistics management. Once the innovative events were selected, the interview results were double-checked by the interviewees themselves to ensure the accuracy of the answers recorded. Based on the interview, I then conducted statistical validation using the survey results as well. Results - This study analyzes the building process of innovation and the effect of the mechanism pattern on innovation by examining the case of POSCO, which has survived over the past 21 years. I apply a new analytical tool to study mechanism innovation types, perform a new classification, and describe the interrelationships among the mechanism factors. This process allows me to see how the "Subject"factor interacts with the other factors. I found that, in the innovation process of the adoption stage, Subject had a mediating effect but that the mediating effect of resource and performance was smaller than the effect of Subject on performance alone. During the implementation stage, the mediating effect of Subject increased. Conclusion - Therefore, I have confirmed that the subject utilizes resources reasonably and efficiently. I have also advanced mechanism studies: whereas the field's research methods have been largely confined to single case studies, I have used both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the relationships among mechanisms.

지난 수십년 간 제조업과 대기업 중심의 성장을 진행해 온 한국 경제는 최근 성장과 고용의 한계에 직면하고 있다. 정부는 이러한 현실을 개선하기 위하여 지속적으로 벤처기업 육성 및 산업 생태계 재편에 집중하고 있으며, 이러한 노력의 결과는 최근 벤처기업의 높은 생존율로 나타나고 있다. 이에 따라, 벤처기업 생존율 개선 관점의 연구에서 성과 창출과 유지 관점으로의 연구 패러다임 전환이 필요하다. 벤처기업의 경영성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명한 연구는 내부 및 외부 요인으로 구분되어 꾸준히 진행되고 있었으며, 창업자 특성은 내부요인으로 구분된다. 다양한 선행연구를 조사 및 검토한 결과 한계점이 존재한다. 첫째, 대부분 설문조사 기반 특정 지역 또는 산업 중심의 단편적 연구가 진행되었다. 둘째, 설문조사 시점을 중심으로 연구가 진행됨에 따라 기업의 생존기간 구분이 힘들고, 기간 구분 없이 진행되었다. 기존 선행연구의 한계점을 보완하기 위하여 생존기간 별 영향요인의 상이한 효과를 살펴볼 필요가 있었으며, 본 연구는 국내 외 선행연구들이 성과와의 관계에서 가장 먼저 주목하였었던 창업자특성에 주목하였다. 벤처기업은 일반기업과 비교하여 기업 내 인적역량이 초기 및 장기 성과를 좌우할 수 있는 주요 요인이며, 창업자특성은 이러한 인적역량의 근간이라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 정부승인통계인 벤처기업정밀실태조사 원데이터를 활용하여 국내 전 산업의 벤처기업을 대상으로 기업의 생존 기간을 구분하고, 각 기간 별 창업자 특성이 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 자료포락분석 (DEA, Data Envelopment Analysis)을 활용하여 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 창업자가 박사일 경우 학사인 경우와 비교하여 창업초기 및 중장기 관점에서의 경영성과가 저조한 것으로 나타났으며, 관련 실무경력은 10년 이상일 경우, 그리고 공동창업을 한 경우 창업초기의 경영성과에 도움을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 벤처기업 정책 입안자와 민간 투자 의사결정자들이 참고할 수 있는 기반 자료를 제공할 것이다.

SaaS는 사용자가 필요한 소프트웨어를 인터넷을 통해 원격으로 서비스 받을 수 있도록 하는 모델로 소프트웨어 시장에서 차지하는 비중이 커짐과 동시에 관련 분야의 비즈니스 요구사항의 증가에 따라 지속적인 성장이 기대되는 분야이다. 이에 본 연구는 SaaS 공급업체들을 대상으로 기업에서 추구하는 차별화 전략 및 낮은 가격전략과 고객획득성과와의 관계를 살펴보고 더 나아가 이들 간의 관계에서 SaaS 기술성숙도 수준의 매개효과와 조절효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 SaaS 제공업체 및 국내 CNK(commerce net Korea) 데이터베이스에 등록된 업체의 어플리케이션을 대상으로, 175개 기업 총 199개 SaaS 전략사업단위의 설문결과를 분석에 활용하였다. SaaS 기술성숙도가 차별화전략 및 낮은가격전략과 고객획득성과와의 관계를 매개하는지 검증하기 위해 Baron and Kenny (1986)가 제안한 절차에 따라 회귀분석을 실시하였고, SaaS 기술성숙도의 조절효과를 살펴보기 위해 위계적 회귀분석(hierarchical regression analysis) 방법을 적용한 상호작용효과를 검증하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, SaaS 제공업체가 추구하는 차별화 전략(업종특화, 파트너활용, 전담인력수) 및 낮은 가격전략(월이용료, 초기설치비)과 같은 기업전략은 고객획득에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, SaaS 공급업체의 기술성숙도 수준(어플리케이션 서비스 제공, 웹 기본 어플리케이션, 웹 서비스 어플리케이션)과 고객 획득성과 간에 유의미한 긍정적인 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로, SaaS 기술성숙도 수준의 기업전략과 고객획득성과와의 관계에 대한 조절효과는 주로 차별화 전략에 대해 나타난 반면, 매개효과는 주로 낮은 가격전략에 대해 나타남을 확인하였다.
