The purpose of this study is to explore the trend of blockchain technology through analysis of patents and news articles using text mining, and to suggest the blockchain policy agenda by grasping social interests. For this purpose, 327 blockchain-related patent abstracts in Korea and 5,941 full-text online news articles were collected and preprocessed. 12 patent topics and 19 news topics were extracted with latent dirichlet allocation topic modeling. Analysis of patents showed that topics related to authentication and transaction accounted were largely predominant. Analysis of news articles showed that social interests are mainly concerned with cryptocurrency. Policy agendas were then derived for blockchain development. This study demonstrates the efficient and objective use of an automated technique for the analysis of large text documents. Additionally, specific policy agendas are proposed in this study which can inform future policy-making processes.

In recent years the construction sector has grown significantly in terms of investment and research on robotics and automation, yet it is still a low-tech and disjointed industry. One of the main scopes of this paper is to determine how robotic automation can provide the answers to the needs this industry has. To that end, an overall framework and development agenda of current technological innovation in the field has been outlined. Possible drawbacks and driving forces in the development of robots in the construction site have been identified. In addition, the review provides for state-of-the-art policies and regulations, as well as the short and medium-term outlook in different markets and countries. Ultimately, the forecast impact on traditional processes, construction sites, emerging technologies and related professions has been summarized in order to delineate prospective repercussions and future directions towards self-sufficiency.

Emergency medicine(EM) is the specialty of evaluating, stabilizing and initiating treatment for patients with life or limb-threatening illnesses or injuries. Techniques unique to the specialty of EM are the triage systems, quick stabilization methods, and emergency surgery procedures. The field of EM encompasses areas such as emergency department management, disaster planning and management, the management of emergency medical service(EMS) systems, research into such areas as brain and heart resuscitation, trauma and disaster management, survival medicine, and environmental emergencies(cold and heat injuries, poisioning, decompression sickness and barotrauma). Today, in addition to providing emergency care, the emergency specialists have moral and legal obligations to assess and report probable cases of child and spouse abuse, sexual assault, and alcohol and drug abuse. Future, the EM should provide surveillance, identification, intervention, and evaluation of injury and disease, therefore EM will remain as a key component of evolving community health care system.

The purpose of this study is to review the essentials of teaching-effectiveness affecting the students' achievement. Any discussion of psychological research and theory concerned with the way teachers affect student learning must consider a variety of issues germane to this research. These issues provide a context for interpreting the research presently available and for identifying an appropriate agenda for future research.Finally, research on teacher effects needs to expand its concern for the psychological mechanisms that are responsible for student learning from instruction. Within the context of this study, that concern is probably the major challenge facing educational psychologists interested in the teaching-learning process.

Business ecosystem is becoming more inclined towards platform ecosystem, which attracts multi-side participants based on digital technology. The burgeoning interest in digital ecosystem leads to the rapid rise of research. In this paper, we suggest a research agenda, focusing on the benefits of complementors in platform ecosystem. First, we outline the extant papers on benefits from platform to participants from economic perspective, strategic management perspective, technology management perspective, and economic sociological perspective to provide comprehensive understanding about platform ecosystem. Second, we suggest systemic framework to provide integrative insights on the the topic of benefit from platform to complementors- (1) open innovation view, (2) economic performance view, and (3) sociological view. Specifically, we focus on empirical studies that investigate the relationship between the benefits from platform and spillover effects on complementors based on various dataset. In addition, by reviewing the past empirical research, we suggest future research agenda and implications for policy in platform ecosystem.

Participants in Open Source Software (OSS) development projects usually contribute voluntarily without expecting direct compensation for their work. One of the central puzzles raised by the success of OSS is the motivation of the participants; why top-notch programmers choose to write software that is released for no fee. In order to respond to this peculiarity employing a meta-research method, we first identify and review theoretical perspectives from diverse disciplines including economics, sociology, political science, anthropology, psychology, and management. Then, we suggest a comprehensive framework that provides a holistic understanding of the puzzle in question. Reviewing key empirical studies based on the suggested framework, we also suggest a future research agenda.

This paper traces the issue of key account management success which has regarded as a pressing concern of many companies' sales efforts at the organizational business-to-business context. Based on the extensive review of extant literatures, we introduced a theoretical framework that covers the antecedents and consequence of key account management success. We theorized the conditions under which organizational and relational factors influence the success of key account management approach. We endeavor to develop research propositions for each construct and provide necessary suggestions to isolate a platform for future empirical research. Beyond this span, an improved understanding from this framework will help developing policies for successful key account management approach.

The purpose of this research is to prepare measures to secure the competitiveness (of Korea?) in the global market by further developing the domestic smart city business, which is in a transition period. First, we examined the origin and growth process of domestic smart city (U-City) policy, Second, we analyzed the functions and policy problems that appeared in the process of building smart cities. Third, we studied advanced cases in which smart city projects overseas were promoted in a different way from domestic ones. Fourth, we examined the concept of the expanded smart city and the pattern of policy changes in Korea. Fifth, we analyzed previous studies and presented the direction to take and challenges to overcome for the future development of smart cities in Korea. This research, which looks at the trend of domestic smart city policy from the earliest point in the past to the present, and presents the future direction based on environmental changes, is significant, in that it is expected to serve as the basis for establishing policies for the development and advancement of smart cities in the future.

In this study, we investigate the influence of national culture on technological innovation activities. First, we discuss the concept of national culture and various cultural dimensions and measurements. Second, we analyze previous literature to explore the theoretical mechanisms in the relationship between national culture and technological innovation. Each cultural dimension has it own mechanism regarding the relationship and in some dimensions mixed theoretical arguments and empirical results are found. Lastly, we also explore how the national culture interacts with characteristics of technology, (social) institutions and public policies while it affects the technological innovation. Based on an literature review on the issue, we propose new research agenda and discuss avenues for future research. The implications for the research are also presented.

Based on its technological elements (distribution, encryption, immutability, tokenisation, decentralisation, and smart contracts), blockchain has drawn considerable attention in various industries and verticals. Still, the strategic adoption of blockchain is in its early stages because of the current barriers and challenges in the areas of 'customer experience', 'business models', and 'operational processes.' This work delivers a comprehensive synopsis of the fundamental challenges faced by blockchain adopters in their digital journey, based on a literature survey. The authors leveraged MAXQDA software and the theory, context, characteristics, and methodology (TCCM) framework to develop themes, findings, and evidence for adoption barriers. The research evaluates the literature on blockchain adoption challenges and offers research insights and managerial agendas for future inferences.
