Many researchers and practitioners have acknowledged the need to investigate the relationships amongst various criteria of implementing total quality management (TQM) in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs). There is a need to have practical research methodologies that take cognisance of the peculiarities of SMMEs and impact on their quality management practices in developing countries. This paper presents the theoretical foundation of a proposed Generative Research Methodology and configures the specification of a TQM implementation framework in SMMEs. The methodology combines rigorous research approaches, builds theory based on the dynamics of the environment and the firms' characteristics and incorporates various TQM criteria into the design of the framework. It synchronises inductive and deductive research methods in three phases and uses various means to acquire empirical evidence and examine the dependent and independent variables of TQM implementation. It is anticipated that the methodology could help SMMEs to develop, analyse and evaluate the framework for attaining quality performance goals.

This study conducts an empirical analysis of how the suggestion activity, most widely used in quality control activities, interacts with the dimensions of learning organizations. The study also attempts to analyze the results of Six Sigma based on sub-dimensions of learning organizations, which are infrastructure, culture and system. In order for learning and innovation to take place in implementing a Six Sigma program, the organizational infrastructure and culture are created and sustained and then, a learning organization system would become effective. In this study, a empirical model is used to demonstrate such an association. The sample consists of 134 organizations who have implemented a Six Sigma program for more than three years. Using the version 16.0 of AMOS for structural equation modeling, the study estimates the structural equation model that has a Six Sigma organization's infrastructure, culture and system as independent constructs, the suggestion system as a mediator, and the performance of Six Sigma projects as a dependent construct.

B2B전자시장에서의 비즈니스 모델은 매우 다양하고, 자료이동에 이용되는 통신망에 따라서도 구분되기도 한다. 또한 내부의 조직적인 자료 통신망은 전자시장에서의 구매자-판매자 관계에 대해 대조적인 영향을 미친다. 통신망은 구매자와 판매자사이에 더욱 짧은 거래에 의해 특징화된 전자시장을 조장하기 위해 이용된다. 그러나 상거래 관계를 강화하기 위한 통신망의 사용과 새로운 거래 파트너에 형성하는 비용 증가로 여러 가지 어려움이 많이 있다. 이에 따라 B2B전자시장에 대한 인식의 폭이 매우 높아지고 있음에 따라 본 논문은 B2B전자시장의 이론적인 접근과 논리적 근거들을 바탕으로 B2B전자시장에 적합한 비즈니스 모텔들을 알아보고자 한다.

본 논문은 음성인식 시스템에서 정확도를 높이기 위해 후처리 단계에서 후보 단어들의 엔트로피 정보를 이용하였다. 기존의 우도비 검출방법은 음성 데이터에 따라 음성인식 시스템의 성능이 변하고 N개의 후보단어들의 우도값이 비슷하여 오인식 발생확률이 높았다. 그러나 본 눈문에서는 각 후보 단어들의 엔트로피 값보다 인식대상 단어 외의 단어들의 엔트로피 값이 상대적으로 낮은 후보를 거절하는 후처리 방법을 사용하여 음성 데이터에 독립적이면서도 변별력을 높인 정확한 음성인식 시스템을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 엔트로피에 의한 후처리 방법은 우도비에 의한 방법보다 인식 시스템의 성능을 false alarm이 20%일 때 최대 3.6% 향상시킬 수 있었다.

The study specifically aimed to identify factors affecting business longevity. It focused on knowing how embroidery enterprises managed to persist in the industry for many years despite the competitive business environment. After discovering the significant relationships of such factors to longevity, problems experienced by the enterprise cluster were ascertained in order to come up with recommendations that can be proposed to the enterprise owners. Embroidery entrepreneurs have been experiencing a continuous decline in sales due to lack of innovation and intense competition. In the evaluation of their personal entrepreneurial competencies, they scored low on risk-taking, persuasion and networking, and opportunity seeking; thus, implying that these are their weaknesses. On the other hand, the statistical results of this study say that longevity is a function of the entrepreneur's competencies (i.e., persistence, commitment to work contract, demand for quality and efficiency, information seeking, and systematic planning or monitoring), the generation currently managing the business, competition, and the customer's preferences. These results suggest that these independent variables are significant and are deemed critical to business longevity. Thus, entrepreneurs have to find ways on how to use these competencies as an advantage in reinventing their businesses and in reviving their industry.

This study aims to explore factors of Assimilation Gap(AG) which is proposed and illustrated by Fichman and Kemerer(1997). AG is defined as the time delay between adoption and deployment and mainly studied at the organizational level. This study derives the factor affecting AG through a review of technology acceptance models and agency theory. The research model consists of three groups of independent variables(IT knowledge burden, Individual characteristics, and organization characteristics) and a moderator, which is goal incongruence. Using multiple regression analyses, four groups of hypotheses are tested with data of 221 knowledge workers from various organizations through e-mail survey. The result shows that radicalness(a dimension of knowledge burden), personal innovativeness, self-efficacy, and organizational support are statistically significant factors while complexity, experience, and perceived critical mass are not supported. The moderator effects of goal incongruence are found in personal innovativeness and organizational support. The results of this study demonstrate that agency theory is a useful perspective to deal with AG, especially in radical innovation. In addition, IT practitioners should consider not only user training but also incentives and possible organizational controls in implementing a new information technology.

During the 'Cold War', DoD had focused on the high performance and timely acquisition which enabled quick field out the superior weapons than the enemy regardless of acquisition cost. But, after the cold war, the focus has been changed to the 'cost effective acquisition' of weapon systems because of tremendous investment cost & economic theory. The U.S. DoD has been tried to make 'the most effective acquisition system'(AR, Acquisition Reform) from mid-80's with their enough experienced program data, and as a result, they had launched the new acquisition procedure - DoD 5000 series - in 1996. DoD is continuously doing the study and making several improvements on the procedure after it had been once announced. On Oct 30. 2002, DoD noticed that they cancelled the DoD 5000 series documents(5000.1, 5000.2, 5000.2-R) and 5000.2-R will be reissued as a guide. The most recent version which focused on 1) evolutionary acquisition and spiral development, 2) procedure for future technology systems including software and IT, 3) supplement on the area of efficiency, flexibility, creativity and innovation of old system was issued by May 12. 2003. This article suggests a 'good idea' based on the reviewing of these DoD efforts for our defense acquisition regulation and procedure to go. It includes the CAIV concept application, IPT utilization, T&E method, cost or price based contract etc-all for the effective acquisition.

전략유형과 정보기술 활동 집중화의 관계에 대한 기존 연구를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 원가 우위 경쟁 전략에는 정보기술 활동을 중앙에 집중시키는 것이 더 적합하고 차별화 전략의 경우에는 정보기술 활동을 분산시키는 것이 더 적합하다는 것이다. 그러나 이런 연구 결과가 아직 실증적으로 검증된 바 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 조직에서 포터의 경쟁 전략유형(원가우위 전략, 차별화 전략)과 정보기술의 집중화가 적합하게 조직될 때 실제로 정보 시스템 성과가 향상되는지 검증하고자 하였다. 현장연구를 통한 연구 결과를 보면, 두 변수의 적합성 여부에 따라 유의적인 성과차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나, 기술적 통계를 보면 전략과 정보기술 활동의 집중화 정도가 적합하게 조직된 조직이 그렇지 않은 조직보다 대체로 성과가 높았다. 따라서 보다 충분한 시간적 여유를 가지고 조직 구조, 문화 등과 같은 주요 외생 변수를 추가하여 연구를 수행한다면 보다 의미있는 결과를 가져올 수 있을 것이다.

This study designed an extended technology acceptance model incorporating and combining TPB, TAM, UTAUT, and IDT, which are known to be useful in explaining technology acceptance intention, to analyze antecedents affecting smart farm acceptance intention from the perspective of policy handlers. In the model of this study, nine independent variables were set, including subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, attitude, perceived usefulness, performance expectation, effort expectation, social impact, promotion condition, and fitness. The effect of these variables on farm acceptance intention was analyzed. The study found that four factors, including perceived behavioral control, perceived usefulness, social impact, and fitness, had positive effects on the acceptance intention of smart farms. Of these, perceived usefulness had the highest impact. In conclusion, all the TPB, TAM, UTAUT, and IDT applied to the research hypothesis to explain the smart farm acceptance intention included on or more variables with significant effects. In other words, these theories were evaluated as useful to explain the acceptance intention of smart farms.
