This paper provides theory and evidence on how venture capital's (VC's) investment influence on new venture (NV) performance. Despite the wealth of research on the relationship between VC's investment and NV's performance, there are conflicts about whether the VC's investment can contribute to the performance of NV and NV's market value or not. For the accurate measure of the investment effect from VC, this research explored how the venture capital's investment in each development stage affects the NV's performance. The research was based on signaling theory and the theory of information asymmetry and looked for which factors affect a NV's performance. Using a sample of 364 firms went to public from 2000 to 2007, we find NV performance increases as NV acquires initial investment of VC in the early stage of development. While NV's potential absorptive capacity moderates the main relationship positively, we find no indication that NV's realized abortive capacity and NV's reputation have significant effect on the main relationship as moderators.

Do corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives lead to positive outcomes for companies? Although it is commonly accepted that CSR is a necessary component of modern marketing communication, the empirical evidence shows that that is not always the case. If CSR is sometimes not conducive to better marketing, it behooves firms to determine the right conditions that foster more effective CSR. It is in that vein that this study aims to add to the growing body of marketing and CSR literature through a series of experiments that examines the dynamics between prior attitude toward the company, the fit between the company and the CSR cause, and consumers' accessible thoughts. This study finds that the prior corporate reputation has an impact on how consumers evaluate the CSR activities of companies. Moreover, we show that the degree of accessible thoughts and their valence can change the moderating effect of the fit between the company and the CSR cause. This is because negative information is perceived as being more diagnostic than positive information in an evaluation situation. We demonstrate that companies that have lower prior public reputations can improve the evaluation of their CSR activities in two major ways: (1) by finding CSR causes that have a lower fit with their business, or (2) by providing information that allow consumers to access more positive thoughts about the CSR activity.

School is a basic and the most fundamental facility of city planning just like other basic public facilities including the village office. Every plan is established on the basis of school. However, the problems such as the population reduction resulting from the nuclear family-zation and low birth rate, employment and welfare of the aged people resulting from "the old aged society", and the infant nursing and education resulting from a rapid increase of the working couples become notable and accordingly more requirements are being made. Reflecting this trend, the concept and operation system should be changed. Up to now, the BTL projects of the educational facilities are gaining a reputation of being efficient in terms of national budget running, but at the same time receiving negative reputation in terms of budget saving under the civil creativity and efficiency. Through upgrading the private sector investment projects into the BTO+BTL system and further into the BTO(Build Transfer Operate), we can accomplish the original goals of the private sector investment projects, and can make the education budget operation more efficient, and can greatly improve the education environments. However, we should not underestimate in this process that these facilities should not negatively affect the education environments. In any situation, the owners of schools are students.

2001.2.3.자 부정경쟁방지법의 개정으로 신설된 제2조 제1호 (다)목에서는 부정경쟁행위의 한 종류로서 저명상표 희석행위에 대해 정의하고 이를 규제하고 있다. 저명상표는 세계 각국에서 보편적으로 보호되고 있는데 우리나라도 이와 같은 국제적인 조류에 맞추어 부정경쟁방지법에서 저명상표를 보호하고 있다. 저명상표 희석범죄가 성립하기 위해서는 (1)표지의 저명성 (2)표장의 동일 유사 (3)식별력 약화 또는 명성 손상을 요건으로 하는데, 특히 저명상표 희석범죄의 구성요건적 결과인 '식별력 약화 또는 명성손상'의 입증정도와 관련하여 저명상표 희석범죄는 침해범이나 추상적 위험범이 아닌 구체적 위험범이라고 해석함이 타당한 바, 식별력 약화 또는 명성 손상의 구체적 현실적 위험이 발생하면 본 죄가 성립하는 것으로 보아야 한다. 나아가 '식별력 약화 또는 명성 손상'의 구체적 판단 기준과 관련하여, 일반 대중의 사회 심리적 관점뿐만 아니라 구체적 사안에서의 개별 행위태양의 반(反) 가치정도를 규범적 요소로서 고려하여 종합적으로 판단함이 상당하다.

In what was labeled the "nut rage" incident, the vice president of Korean Air, Hyun-Ah Cho (Heather Cho), demonstrated behavior that exemplifies corporate transgression and deviation from societal moral standards toward a flight attendant aboard a flight. Such behavior instigated the public to express negative sentiment on various social media platforms. This study investigates word-of-mouth network on YouTube in response to the crisis, patterns of co-commenting activities across selected YouTube videos, as well as public responses to the incident by employing social and semantic network analysis. A total of 512 YouTube videos featuring the crisis from December 8, 2014 through November 11, 2018, and 52,772 public comments to the videos were collected. The central videos in the network successfully attracted the public's attention and engagements. The results suggest that the video network was decentralized, with multiple videos acting as hubs in the network. The public commented on various videos instead of focusing on a few. The contents of influential videos uploaded by popular news organizations revealed not only Cho's behaviors related to the nut rage crisis but also unrelated illegal behaviors and the moral violations committed by the family members of Korean Air. The public attached derogatory remarks to Cho and her family, and the comments also addressed ethical concerns, management issues of the company, and boycott intentions. The results imply that adverse public reaction was related to the long-standing problem caused by family ownership and governance in large Korean corporations. This Korean Air scandal illustrates backlash toward a leadership breakdown by the family business conglomerate prevalent in the Korean society. This study provides insights for effective handling of similar crises.

비영리기관인 인제대학교는 설립된 지 25년 만에 2001년 대학종합평가에서 전국 2위, 지방대학으로 1위를 차지한 이래로 2004년에는 전국 5위를 차지하는 등 꾸준하게 상위권을 유지하고 있다. 그 이유를 추출하기 위해 이사장 면담, 대학당국자 심층면접, 학생면담, 지역주민과의 대화, 이차자료 수집이 이루어졌다. 그 결과, 인제대학교는 경영철학(philosophy)-기능(function)-구조(form)-성과(performance)측면에서 차별적인 공익마케팅을 수행하고 있음을 밝혀내었다. 이사장과의 면담을 통해서 인제대학교 경영철학은 '아무도 눈여겨 보지 않는 황무지에 공익의 이름으로 공헌'하는 프론티어정신임을 확인하였다. 이 경영철학에 의해 학교가 하는 일(기능: function)이 타대학과 차별적임을 밝혀내었다. 단순히 인제대학교 재학생만을 대상으로 하지 않고, 전국과 지역사회, 세계를 대상으로 한 공익네트워크형성에 주력하고 있었다. 또한 이런 일을 수행하기 위한 특징적인 별도 조직들이 인제대학교 내에 구성되어 있음을 알아내었다(형태: form). 탁월한 학교 내 학생-학교 네트워크, 교외 산업 간 네트워크, 국외 인제교류 네트워크조직을 형성하였다. 이를 토대로 인제대학교는 신입생에 대한 유인력, 재학생의 고객만족도, 교직원과 학생의 내부만족도와 같은 질적인 변수와 대학종합평가 및 취업률과 같은 양적인 변수측면에서 높은 성과(performance)를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 위와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 연구자는 인제대학교를 숨어있지만 강한 비영리기관의 '숨은 강자(hidden champion)'이라 평가하였다. 이런 숨은 강자적 면모의 차별적 공익마케팅 바탕에는 1930년대부터 70년을 넘는 기간동안에 이루어진 투자가 있었음을 확인하였다. 남들이 눈여겨 보고 있지 않지만 사람들에게 꼭 필요한 인술과 교육에 전 재산을 투자하는 헌신성이 오늘날의 인제대학교가 가진 사회적인 위상과 평판, 그리고 성과를 만들어낸 초석이 되었다.

This study was designed to investigate the mar factors affecting selection of delivery facilities by pregnant women. Five hundred women hospitalized at 23 Seoul-area delivery facilities, such as university hospitals, general hospitals, hospitals, and clinics were selected and given questionnaires from April 24 to May 7, 1990. A total of 350 questionnaires were collected and analysed for the study. The results are as follows ; 1. In general, variables which significantly affected the choice of delivery facilities included the age of women, their educational level, the educational level of their husbands, monthly average incomes and residential areas. 2. In analyzing the obstetrical characteristics of the women, those variables significantly affecting the choice of delivery facilities were the gestational period, the facilities for prenatal care, the frequency of prenatal care, the type of delivery, the frequency of miscarriage, previous delivery experiences and the awareness on prenatal care. 3. In comparing the motivation factors for selecting the delivery facilities, all the factors except convenience and need for hospitalization differed significantly among delivery facilities. 4. The factor analysis was assessed for twenty possible factors motivating the choice of delivery facilities. Six factors including personal service, scale of the facility, reputation, urgency, convenience, and experience were noted explaining by 57.7%. 5. In the discriminant analysis used to clarify the major factors affecting the selection of delivery facilities, the 16 significant variables were regarded as independent variables, and the type of delivery facilities was considered a dependent variable. The stepwise method was applied to the analysis. Detected discriminant variables were the facilities for prenatal care, scale factor, personal service factor, urgency factor, convenience factor, reputation factor, experience factor, gestational period, types of delivery, frequency of miscarriage, age and income. These 12 discriminant variables were tested, with reference to discriminant prediction, on their importance in the choice of the delivery facility, by the discriminant functional formula. The test showed a hit-rate of 67.7%. The results suggest that general characteristics, obstetrical characteristics, and motivations for selecting the delivery facilities differ significantly according to the types of the delivery facilities. This study implies that all types of delivery facilities should attempt to acommodate characteristics and motivations of pregnant women. The facilities should be prepared to increase their patients satisfaction with required medical conditions by improving service and responding to the pregnant women's preferences.
