국가신성장동력으로MICE(Meeting, Incentive travel, Convention, Exhibition) 산업이각광받으면서국내전시산업에 대한 관심이 드높아 지고 있다. 이에 따라 국내 전시산업(domestic exhibition industry)도 미국이나 유럽과 같이 전시성과를 향상시키기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그 중에서도 전시환경이나 전시기법 등에 따라 관람효과가 다르기 때문에 지능형 정보기술을 이용하여 전시장에 방문한 참관객의 참관패턴을 분석하여 참관객을 이해하고 더 나아가 참여업체 간의 연관관계 도출 및 전시회의 성과를 높이고자 하는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그런데, 이러한 기존의 부스추천시스템과 관련된 연구를 살펴보면 시스템적인 관점에서 추천의 정확성만을 논하고 있을 뿐 추천을 통한 참관객의 행동이나 인식의 변화에 대해서는 충분히 논의하고 있지 못하다. 부스추천시스템(Booth Recommendation System)은 참관객의 부스방문 정보를 바탕으로 참관객에게 적절한 부스를 추천하기 때문에 참관객은 사전에 계획하지 않은 전시장을 방문하게 될 수 있다. 이 때 참관객은 계획하지 않은 방문행동을 통해서 만족할 수도 있지만 추천과 정이 번거롭다거나 자유롭게 참관을 하는데 방해가 된다고 생각할 수 있다. 이 경우 참관객의 자유로운 관람보다 오히려 더 좋지 않은 성과를 낼 수 있다. 따라서 부스 추천시스템을 전시장에 적용하기 위해서는 시스템의 성과에 미치는 영향요인이 무엇인지 전반적으로 검토하고, 부스추천시스템이 참관객의 계획되지 않은 방문행동에 미치는 영향에 대해 면밀히 검토해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부스추천시스템의 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지 이론과 기존문헌을 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한, 참관객의 지각된 부스추천시스템의 성과가 참관객의 계획되지 않은 행동에 대한 만족도와 부스추천시스템의 재사용의도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위한 이론적 프레임워크로 본 연구는 계획되지 않은 행동이론(Unplanned Behavior Theory)을 도입하였다. 계획되지 않은 행동(unplanned behavior)이란 "소비자들이 사전에 계획하지 되지 않은 채 실행된 어떤 행동"으로 정의할 수 있다. 소비자들의 계획되지 않은 행동은 그 동안 마케팅 등 다양한 분야에서 연구되어 왔다. 특히, 마케팅에서는 계획되지 않은 행동 중 계획되지 않은 구매(unplanned purchasing)에 많은 관심을 두어 왔는데 이 개념은 종종 충동적 구매(impulsive purchasing)와 혼동되어 사용되곤 하였다. 그런데, 충동적 구매가 갑자기 무엇인가 구매를 해야하는 강하고 지속적인 충동(urge)이라고 본다면 계획되지 않은 구매는 구매의사결정의 시점이 상점에 들어가기 전이 아닌 상점 내에서 수행된다는 점이 다르다. 즉, 모든 충동적 구매는 비계획적이나, 모든 계획되지 않은 구매가 충동적인 구매는 아니다. 그런데, 왜 소비자들은 계획되지 않은 행동을 하는가? 이에 대해서는 학자들에 따라 여러 가지 의견이 있으나 소비자가 사전에 철저한 계획을 수립하지 않고 따라서 중간에 계획을 변화시킬만한 유연성(flexibility)이 있기 때문이라는 점에 일관된 의견을 보인다. 즉, 계획되지 않은 행동을 하는데 많은 비용이 소요된다면 소비자들은 사전에 수립한 계획을 변경하기 어렵게 될 것이기 때문이다. 본 연구에서 살펴보고자 하는 전시장 역시 참관객들은 방문하기 전에 전시장이 어떤 프로그램으로 구성되어 있는지 살펴보고, 어떤 부스를 방문할지를 사전에 계획하게 된다. 그 이유는 참관객들이 전시장 방문에 투입할 수 있는 시간은 한정되어 있는 반면에 전시회는 대규모의 다양한 부스로 운영되기 때문에 참관객들이 모든 부스를 참관한다는 것이 현실적으로 불가능하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시하는 부스추천시스템이 참관객이 선호할 만한 부스를 추천하게 되면 참관객은 자신의 계획을 변화시켜서 부스추천시스템이 추천한 부스를 방문하게 된다. 이러한 방문행동은 소비자가 상점을 방문하거나, 관광객이 관광지에서 계획하지 않은 행동을 하는 것과 유사한 측면에서 이해가 가능하며 특히 최근 여행소비자들이 정보기기의 영향으로 계획되지 않은 행동을 하는 경우가 부쩍 증가한 추세와 동일한 맥락에서 이해가 가능하다. 이에 다음과 같은 연구모형을 설정하였다. 이 연구모형은 참관객이 지각한 부스추천시스템의 성과(performance)를 매개변수로 하고 있는데 이 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 부스추천시스템에 대한 신뢰(trust), 전시장 참관객의 지식수준 (knowledge level), 부스 추천시스템의 기대된 개인화 (expected personalization) 그리고 부스추천시스템의 자유위협(threat to freedom)을 영향요인으로 파악하였다. 또한, 지각된 부스추천시스템 성과와 계획되지 않은 행동에 대한 참관객의 만족도와 향후 부스추천시스템의 재사용의도간의 인과관계도 파악하고자 하였다. 이 때 부스추천시스템에대한신뢰는권한(competence), 자선(benevolence), 그리고진실(integrity)의2차요인(2nd order factor)으로구성하고, 나머지 요인들은 1차 요인으로 구성하였다. 이를 검증하기 위해 2011 DMC Culture Open 행사에서 부스추천시스템을 테스트하기 위하여 시스템을 개발하고, 101명의 참관객을 대상으로 실증조사를 하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 부스추천시스템에 있어서 참관객의 신뢰가 가장 중요한 요소이며 실제 해당 부스추천시스템을 이용한 참관객들은 신뢰를 통해 부스추천시스템이 성과 있다고 인식하였다. 둘째, 참관객의 지식수준 역시 부스추천시스템의 성과에 유의한 영향을 미쳤는데 이는 추천의 성과가 전시장에 대한 사전적 이해가 필요함을 의미한다. 즉, 전시장에 대한 이해가 높은 참관객이 부스추천시스템의 유용성을 더 잘 파악하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기대된 개인화 수준은 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못했는데 이는 기존 연구와 다른 결과로 본 연구에 사용된 부스추천시스템이 충분히 개인화 서비스를 제공하지 못했기 때문이라고 판단된다. 넷째, 부스추천시스템의 추천정보는 개인의 자유를 위협하거나 제한한다고 느끼지 않음으로 충분히 유용한 가치를 갖는다고 할 수 있다. 끝으로 부스정보시스템의 높은 성과는 참관객들의 계획되지 않은 행동에 대한 높은 만족도와 향후에도 부스추천시스템을 재사용할 의도를 만드는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 본 연구는 부스추천시스템이 야기하는 참관객의 계획되지 않은 부스방문행동에 미치는 영향력을 분석하기 위해 계획되지 않은 행동이론을 중심으로 실증자료를 이용하여 분석하고, 이를 통해 향후 부스추천시스템의 구축 및 설계에 유용한 시사점을 도출할 수 있었다. 향후에는 보다 정교한 설문구성과 측정대상을 이용하여 추가적인 검토가 필요할 것으로 기대된다.
캐릭터산업은 저작권리를 중심으로 한 지식기반산업이면서 제조업과 서비스업의 판매가치를 촉진시키고 매출효과를 강화하는 보완재적 산업특성을 지니고 있어서 전 산업분야에 걸쳐 기능적으로 작동될 수 있는 창조경제의 핵심동력이다. 2003년부터 시작된 정부의 캐릭터관련 정책은 연관산업간의 연계효과 극대화, 국내 캐릭터의 해외진출확대, 유통구조 개선을 통한 저작권 강화, 캐릭터상품의 질적강화를 통한 산업기반 확대 등에 중점을 두었다. 이러한 정책성과로 인해, 2007년 이후, 연관콘텐츠의 성공사례가 구체화되기 시작했고, 국내외 캐릭터산업은 보다 체계적인 진화과정을 거치게 된다. 창작캐릭터의 자체적인 산업육성 노하우가 축적되고, 만화, 애니메이션, 게임, 소설, 영화, 뮤지컬 등으로 시작된 연관캐릭터가 시장세분화전략에 의해 활성화되면서 캐릭터산업의 범위 및 산업적 통계의 재설정이 요구되기 시작했다. 특히, 2009년 이후 정부는 '세계 5대 캐릭터 강국'으로의 목표를 설정하고, 글로벌 스타캐릭터 발굴, 연관산업간 네트워크 구축지원, 홍보채널 다양화 및 프로모션 강화, 라이선싱 비즈니스 활성화 등의 정책을 발굴하게 된다. 특히, 2013년을 기점으로 캐릭터를 활용한 캐릭터 체험전 등의 전시시장, 키즈카페 등의 시간관리형 캐릭터 실내테마파크, SNS의 이모티콘을 중심으로 한 디지털캐릭터 수요시장, 캐릭터 뮤지컬을 중심으로 한 공연시장 등 새로운 캐릭터시장이 지속적으로 개발되고, 기존 오프라인의 불법복제시장이 국내외적으로 대형화되면서 그에 따른 체계적인 정책대안이 필요하게 되었다. 진화하는 캐릭터 소비시장과 플랫폼 다양화 시대에 대응하여, 캐릭터산업을 활성화시키고 새로운 캐릭터디자인 및 관련 콘텐츠를 지원하기 위해서는 캐릭터산업의 정책변인을 전제로 한 전략방향의 입체적 설정이 요구된다. 지난 정부의 정책성과와 국내외 캐릭터산업의 시장현황, 그리고 진화방향을 분석하여 정책변인을 구체화시키면 다음과 같다. 현재 국내캐릭터산업의 정책변인은 플랫폼 다양화에 따른 디지털 캐릭터시장의 소비다층화, 한류중심의 캐릭터상품 융합콘텐츠화, 불법콘텐츠의 지하경제 양성화, 세분화된 시장의 수용자 편향성관리 등으로 분석되며, 이는 미국과 일본 및 유럽의 기존 캐릭터산업 강국들과는 다른 차원의 정책이슈를 발굴하게 된다. 결국 국내외시장의 연관콘텐츠 저작권계약 모델개발, 플랫폼 경제의 수익모델 다각화, 한류확대에 연계된 목표시장 추가개발, 평생캐릭터의 연령별 맞춤형 시장전략 등이 캐릭터 수요시장진화에 따른 대안으로 제시된다.
기술 학습, 기업가정신, 혁신, 창의성에 대한 동기 및 관련 활동은 아시아 국가들의 경제 발전의 원동력이었다. 기술 발전의 초기에는 기술 학습과 기업가정신이 선진국들을 효과적으로 따라잡을 수 있는 방안으로 작용하였다. 왜냐하면 이를 통하여 기업들은 상대적으로 낮은 리스크를 가지고 기술과 지식을 빠르게 축적할 수 있었기 때문이다. 그러나 기술 발전의 후기에는 혁신과 창의성이 보다 중요하게 작용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 1) 기술 학습 성과에 영향을 미치는 요소들 (학습 역량)과 2) 창의적인 조직 및 경제 환경 구축을 위한 혁신 역량 강화에 필요한 과제들을 규명하는 것이다. 본 연구의 핵심 내용은 탈추격 시대에서의 학습 역량과 연관되어 있다. 문헌 연구 및 한국의 경제발전 사례를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 기술 학습에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요소들로 구성된 기술 학습 모형을 제시하였다. 이와 관련하여 세 가지 가설을 설정하였고, 한국의 공작기계 제조업체들로부터 데이터를 수집하였다. 또한 해당 업체들의 CEO들과 R&D 책임자들을 대상으로 구조화된 설문을 수행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 상관 분석과 ANOVA를 수행하여 가설을 검증하였다. 추가로 사례 분석과 정책 분석을 수행하여 혁신 활성인자와 방해인자들을 규명하였고, 이를 근거로 혁신 역량 강화를 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 실증 분석 결과를 기반으로 1) 기술 축적정도 2) 기술인력들의 잠재력 3) 확고한 기술적 노력 4) 학습에 대한 의지 5) 최고 경영층의 지원 6) 공식적인 기술 학습 시스템 7) 높은 학습 동기 8) 적절한 기술 선택 9) 명백한 목표 설정과 같은 기업의 학습 잠재력과 활동(학습 역량)을 규명하였다. 이와 같은 학습 역량은 경제 발전 초기 기업의 학습 성과를 결정하였다. 또한 기술발전 단계별로 기술학습을 위해 필요한 핵심 요소들이 상이하였다. 통계 및 정책 분석을 통하여 기술학습은 기술발전 과정의 본질적인 원칙으로 이해될 수 있음을 입증하였다. 선제적이고 창의적인 학습은 후기에, 대응적이고 모방적인 학습은 초기에 활성화 되었다. 추가로 본 연구에서는 탈추격 시대에서의 혁신역량 및 혁신활동 강화의 원동력 또는 촉진 요소를 탐색하였다. 예비 사례분석 결과는 1) CEO의 전략적 의지와 기업 문화 2) 리더십과 변화 주도 챔피언의 존재 3) 디자인 원칙과 방식 4) 에코시스템과 협력체계, 5) 지속적 R&D 투자가 혁신역량 및 혁신활동 강화의 촉진 요소로 작용함을 보여주었다.
The purpose of this study was to develop a parenting intervention program and determine the efficacy of the program with low-birth weight infants and their mothers. Nine dyads for the experimental group and twelve dyads for the control group discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in Seoul were recruited for the study. For the intervention group, programmed education and support which focused on the maternal sensitivity of the infant's behavior. rearing environment. motherinfant interaction and infant care were given to each subject. Individual counseling and home visits were provided at discharge, one week after discharge. and one and three months of corrected age in every infant. Structured questionaires were administered and feeding interactions were videotaped and coded by a blinded certified observer. A Quasi-experimental design was conducted for this study. Postpartum depression, maternal self esteem. infant care burden, HOME. mother-infant interaction, and infant development were measured. Results were in favor of the intervention versus the control group. On the Beck depression inventory, intervention mothers showed decreasing trends in depressive symptom vs control mothers although, there were statistically no significant differences between the two groups at each time. The mean score of experimental group was 11.55(mild depression state) at discharge and became 8,6(normal state) at 1 month of corrected age. On the other hand, the mean score of the control group was 13.92(mild depression state) at discharge and became 14.0. Maternal self esteem in both groups improved over time. Infant care burden in both groups was also shown to increase over time. There was a significant difference between the two groups in HOME(p=.0340) at 3 months of corrected age. HOME scores of the experimental group and the control's were 31.10 and 25.58, respectively. Mothers' emotional and language responses were significantly high in the intervention group compared with the control group(p=.0155). Intervention group (53.33) showed a significantly high quality of motherinfant interaction compared with the in control group (42.80)(p =.0340). Intervention group mothers appeared have a better quality of mother-infant interaction behaviors. On the other hand, there was no statistical difference in the infant part between groups. Intervention group infants had higher trends in a general developmental quotient: although, there was no statistical difference between groups. The general developmental quotient of intervention infants was 102.56 and control's was 91.28. However, the developmental quotient of the domain of 'individuality-sociality' was higher in the intervention group infants compared with the control's(p=.0155). The concerns identified by parents revealed two domains of an infants' health management -knowledge and skills in caregiving of lowbirthweight-infants, characteristics of lowbirthweight infants, identifying a developmental milestone, coping with emergency situations and relaxation strategies of mothers from the infant care burden. Interview data with the mothers of low-birth weight infants can be used to develop intervention program contents. Limited intervention time and frequency due to time and cost limitations of this study should be modified. The intervention should be continuously implemented when low-birth weight infants become three years old. An NNNS demonstration appeared to be a very effective intervention for the mothers to improve the quality of mother-infant interactions. Therefore intervening in the mothers of low-birth weight infants as early after delivery as possible is desirable. This study has shown that home visit interventions are worthwhile for mothers only beyond the approach as an essential factor in ability of facilitating a growth fostering environment. In conclusion. the intervention program of this study was very effective in enhancing the parenting for the mothers of low-birth weight infants, resulting in health promotion of low-birth weight infants. The home-visit outreach intervention program of this study will contribute to the health delivery system in this country where there is a lack of continuous follow-up programs for low-birth weight infants after discharge from NICU, if it is activated as part of the home visit programs in community health systems.
UGC(User Generated Contents) is emerging as the center of e-business in the web 2.0 era. The trend reflects changing roles of users in production and consumption of contents on websites and helps us to understand new strategies of websites such as web portals and social network websites. Nowadays, we consume contents created by other non-professional users for both utilitarian (e.g., knowledge) and hedonic values (e.g., fun). Also, contents produced by ourselves (e.g., photo, video) are posted on websites so that our friends, family, and even the public can consume those contents. This means that non-professionals, who used to be passive audience in the past, are now creating contents and share their UGCs with others in the Web. Accessible media, tools, and applications have also reduced difficulty and complexity in the process of creating contents. Realizing that users create plenty of materials which are very interesting to other people, media companies (i.e., web portals and social networking websites) are adjusting their strategies and business models accordingly. Increased demand of UGC may lead to website visits which are the source of benefits from advertising. Therefore, they put more efforts into making their websites open platforms where UGCs can be created and shared among users without technical and methodological difficulties. Many websites have increasingly adopted new technologies such as RSS and openAPI. Some have even changed the structure of web pages so that UGC can be seen several times to more visitors. This mainstream of UGCs on websites indicates that acquiring more UGCs and supporting participating users have become important things to media companies. Although those companies need to understand why general users have shown increasing interest in creating and posting contents and what is important to them in the process of productions, few research results exist in this area to address these issues. Also, behavioral process in creating video UGCs has not been explored enough for the public to fully understand it. With a solid theoretical background (i.e., theory of implementation intentions), parts of our proposed research model mirror the process of user behaviors in creating video contents, which consist of intention to upload, intention to edit, edit, and upload. In addition, in order to explain how those behavioral intentions are developed, we investigated influences of antecedents from three motivational perspectives (i.e., intrinsic, editing software-oriented, and website's network effect-oriented). First, from the intrinsic motivation perspective, we studied the roles of self-expression, enjoyment, and social attention in forming intention to edit with preferred editing software or in forming intention to upload video contents to preferred websites. Second, we explored the roles of editing software for non-professionals to edit video contents, in terms of how it makes production process easier and how it is useful in the process. Finally, from the website characteristic-oriented perspective, we investigated the role of a website's network externality as an antecedent of users' intention to upload to preferred websites. The rationale is that posting UGCs on websites are basically social-oriented behaviors; thus, users prefer a website with the high level of network externality for contents uploading. This study adopted a longitudinal research design; we emailed recipients twice with different questionnaires. Guided by invitation email including a link to web survey page, respondents answered most of questions except edit and upload at the first survey. They were asked to provide information about UGC editing software they mainly used and preferred website to upload edited contents, and then asked to answer related questions. For example, before answering questions regarding network externality, they individually had to declare the name of the website to which they would be willing to upload. At the end of the first survey, we asked if they agreed to participate in the corresponding survey in a month. During twenty days, 333 complete responses were gathered in the first survey. One month later, we emailed those recipients to ask for participation in the second survey. 185 of the 333 recipients (about 56 percentages) answered in the second survey. Personalized questionnaires were provided for them to remind the names of editing software and website that they reported in the first survey. They answered the degree of editing with the software and the degree of uploading video contents to the website for the past one month. To all recipients of the two surveys, exchange tickets for books (about 5,000~10,000 Korean Won) were provided according to the frequency of participations. PLS analysis shows that user behaviors in creating video contents are well explained by the theory of implementation intentions. In fact, intention to upload significantly influences intention to edit in the process of accomplishing the goal behavior, upload. These relationships show the behavioral process that has been unclear in users' creating video contents for uploading and also highlight important roles of editing in the process. Regarding the intrinsic motivations, the results illustrated that users are likely to edit their own video contents in order to express their own intrinsic traits such as thoughts and feelings. Also, their intention to upload contents in preferred website is formed because they want to attract much attention from others through contents reflecting themselves. This result well corresponds to the roles of the website characteristic, namely, network externality. Based on the PLS results, the network effect of a website has significant influence on users' intention to upload to the preferred website. This indicates that users with social attention motivations are likely to upload their video UGCs to a website whose network size is big enough to realize their motivations easily. Finally, regarding editing software characteristic-oriented motivations, making exclusively-provided editing software more user-friendly (i.e., easy of use, usefulness) plays an important role in leading to users' intention to edit. Our research contributes to both academic scholars and professionals. For researchers, our results show that the theory of implementation intentions is well applied to the video UGC context and very useful to explain the relationship between implementation intentions and goal behaviors. With the theory, this study theoretically and empirically confirmed that editing is a different and important behavior from uploading behavior, and we tested the behavioral process of ordinary users in creating video UGCs, focusing on significant motivational factors in each step. In addition, parts of our research model are also rooted in the solid theoretical background such as the technology acceptance model and the theory of network externality to explain the effects of UGC-related motivations. For practitioners, our results suggest that media companies need to restructure their websites so that users' needs for social interaction through UGC (e.g., self-expression, social attention) are well met. Also, we emphasize strategic importance of the network size of websites in leading non-professionals to upload video contents to the websites. Those websites need to find a way to utilize the network effects for acquiring more UGCs. Finally, we suggest that some ways to improve editing software be considered as a way to increase edit behavior which is a very important process leading to UGC uploading.
To survive in the global competitive environment, enterprise should be able to solve various problems and find the optimal solution effectively. The big-data is being perceived as a tool for solving enterprise problems effectively and improve competitiveness with its' various problem solving and advanced predictive capabilities. Due to its remarkable performance, the implementation of big data systems has been increased through many enterprises around the world. Currently the big-data is called the 'crude oil' of the 21st century and is expected to provide competitive superiority. The reason why the big data is in the limelight is because while the conventional IT technology has been falling behind much in its possibility level, the big data has gone beyond the technological possibility and has the advantage of being utilized to create new values such as business optimization and new business creation through analysis of big data. Since the big data has been introduced too hastily without considering the strategic value deduction and achievement obtained through the big data, however, there are difficulties in the strategic value deduction and data utilization that can be gained through big data. According to the survey result of 1,800 IT professionals from 18 countries world wide, the percentage of the corporation where the big data is being utilized well was only 28%, and many of them responded that they are having difficulties in strategic value deduction and operation through big data. The strategic value should be deducted and environment phases like corporate internal and external related regulations and systems should be considered in order to introduce big data, but these factors were not well being reflected. The cause of the failure turned out to be that the big data was introduced by way of the IT trend and surrounding environment, but it was introduced hastily in the situation where the introduction condition was not well arranged. The strategic value which can be obtained through big data should be clearly comprehended and systematic environment analysis is very important about applicability in order to introduce successful big data, but since the corporations are considering only partial achievements and technological phases that can be obtained through big data, the successful introduction is not being made. Previous study shows that most of big data researches are focused on big data concept, cases, and practical suggestions without empirical study. The purpose of this study is provide the theoretically and practically useful implementation framework and strategies of big data systems with conducting comprehensive literature review, finding influencing factors for successful big data systems implementation, and analysing empirical models. To do this, the elements which can affect the introduction intention of big data were deducted by reviewing the information system's successful factors, strategic value perception factors, considering factors for the information system introduction environment and big data related literature in order to comprehend the effect factors when the corporations introduce big data and structured questionnaire was developed. After that, the questionnaire and the statistical analysis were performed with the people in charge of the big data inside the corporations as objects. According to the statistical analysis, it was shown that the strategic value perception factor and the inside-industry environmental factors affected positively the introduction intention of big data. The theoretical, practical and political implications deducted from the study result is as follows. The frist theoretical implication is that this study has proposed theoretically effect factors which affect the introduction intention of big data by reviewing the strategic value perception and environmental factors and big data related precedent studies and proposed the variables and measurement items which were analyzed empirically and verified. This study has meaning in that it has measured the influence of each variable on the introduction intention by verifying the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables through structural equation model. Second, this study has defined the independent variable(strategic value perception, environment), dependent variable(introduction intention) and regulatory variable(type of business and corporate size) about big data introduction intention and has arranged theoretical base in studying big data related field empirically afterwards by developing measurement items which has obtained credibility and validity. Third, by verifying the strategic value perception factors and the significance about environmental factors proposed in the conventional precedent studies, this study will be able to give aid to the afterwards empirical study about effect factors on big data introduction. The operational implications are as follows. First, this study has arranged the empirical study base about big data field by investigating the cause and effect relationship about the influence of the strategic value perception factor and environmental factor on the introduction intention and proposing the measurement items which has obtained the justice, credibility and validity etc. Second, this study has proposed the study result that the strategic value perception factor affects positively the big data introduction intention and it has meaning in that the importance of the strategic value perception has been presented. Third, the study has proposed that the corporation which introduces big data should consider the big data introduction through precise analysis about industry's internal environment. Fourth, this study has proposed the point that the size and type of business of the corresponding corporation should be considered in introducing the big data by presenting the difference of the effect factors of big data introduction depending on the size and type of business of the corporation. The political implications are as follows. First, variety of utilization of big data is needed. The strategic value that big data has can be accessed in various ways in the product, service field, productivity field, decision making field etc and can be utilized in all the business fields based on that, but the parts that main domestic corporations are considering are limited to some parts of the products and service fields. Accordingly, in introducing big data, reviewing the phase about utilization in detail and design the big data system in a form which can maximize the utilization rate will be necessary. Second, the study is proposing the burden of the cost of the system introduction, difficulty in utilization in the system and lack of credibility in the supply corporations etc in the big data introduction phase by corporations. Since the world IT corporations are predominating the big data market, the big data introduction of domestic corporations can not but to be dependent on the foreign corporations. When considering that fact, that our country does not have global IT corporations even though it is world powerful IT country, the big data can be thought to be the chance to rear world level corporations. Accordingly, the government shall need to rear star corporations through active political support. Third, the corporations' internal and external professional manpower for the big data introduction and operation lacks. Big data is a system where how valuable data can be deducted utilizing data is more important than the system construction itself. For this, talent who are equipped with academic knowledge and experience in various fields like IT, statistics, strategy and management etc and manpower training should be implemented through systematic education for these talents. This study has arranged theoretical base for empirical studies about big data related fields by comprehending the main variables which affect the big data introduction intention and verifying them and is expected to be able to propose useful guidelines for the corporations and policy developers who are considering big data implementationby analyzing empirically that theoretical base.
This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However,
