Performing 'Mega Project' in which various stakeholders are involved is difficult to control due to the respective conflicting objectives. Urban regeneration which is being challenged issue in various ways can be defined as the mega project. Since the mega project like urban regeneration a long-continued project and includes a lot of participants whose benefits conflict, cooperation among stakeholders is essential. Moreover, as the project goes, diverse decision making situations which require collaboration happen, and if proper decision making cannot be given at that time, the whole project would have critical effects. Also, since each activity concerns numerous stakeholders, prompt decision making is difficult in the mega project. Therefore, the objective of this study is to support stakeholder's cooperative decision making in order for conducting successful project. For the purpose of the paper, the concept of cooperation in mega project is redefined and a cooperative decision making framework is suggested. Also, the term of governance, which means cooperative mechanism based on the mutual trust, information sharing and partnership, is applied to the newly defined cooperation. The suggested cooperative decision making framework contains the structure of stakeholders in urban regeneration project which enables participants to understand the relationship among bodies and checklists for supporting decision making appropriately. The application of the framework proposed in this research is expected to contribute subjects' suitable decision making by providing proper information in a timely manner.

Since Lean Construction has been introduced as a new management approach to improve productivity in the construction industry, much research is in progress to develop lean concepts and principles for better implementation and to get results of the successful adaptation of lean ideas from manufacturing for application in the construction industry. Currently, several construction companies in the USA are starting to implement lean construction with nebulous hopes of obtaining better results from their current projects than from past projects not employing lean construction. There are many difficulties in adopting lean concepts and systems into construction projects and implementing lean construction in real construction sites. Thus, there are demands to share information how other companies implement lean construction, to identify the benefits and barriers of lean implementation in the construction fields, and finally to improve their lean implementation. This study was the first exploratory study to assess lean construction implementation on overall projects. The case studies carried out the examination of the mutual relationships of lean planning systems, organization structure, attitudes of project participants and company strategy which played major influences on successful lean implementation

Purpose: The internet, as a tool, avenue, and field, has wide-researching and specific ethical concerns. Internet-based research ethics is a field that spreads across numerous fields, scoping from natural and biomedical sciences to social sciences, and arts and humanities. Thus, this study which investigates research ethics within an Internet-based Research Setting will be quite valuable. Research design, data and methodology: The current authors widely took a look at prior and present literature dataset to explore research ethics within an Internet-based setting. Using numerous search engine, such as 'Goole Scholar', 'Scopus', and 'Web of Science', the current authors could obtain total 42 prior studies that are relevant with our research topic. Results: Based on the screening process in the literature datasets, this study could categorize four areas of the research ethics within Internet-based research setting as follows: (1) Human Subjects Ethics, (2) Big Data Ethical Issues, (3) Research Ethics and Cloud, and (4) Computing Interviews and Surveys Ethics. Conclusions: This study concludes that although internet-based research has many benefits, the accompanying ethical issues are many. The lack of uniformity in the concept and terminology of online research methods typically brings forth confusion and makes it hard for new researchers to develop mutual guidelines.

Research in the IS (Information Systems) outsourcing has focused on the importance of legal contracts and partnerships between vendors and clients. Without detailed legal contracts, there is no guarantee that an outsourcing vendor would not indulge in self-serving behavior. In addition, partnerships can supplement legal contracts in managing the relationship between clients and vendors legal contracts by itself cannot deal with all the complexity and ambiguity involved with IS outsourcing relationships. In this paper, we introduce a psychological contract (between client and vendor) as an important variable for IS outsourcing success. A psychological contract refers to individual's mental beliefs about his or her mutual obligations in a contractual relationship (Rousseau, 1995). A psychological contract emerges when one party believes that a promise of future returns has been made, a contribution has been given, and thus, an obligation has been created to provide future benefits (Rousseau, 1989). An employmentpsychological contract, which is a widespread concept in psychology, refers to employer and employee expectations of the employment relationship, i.e. mutual obligations, values, expectations and aspirations that operate over and above the formal contract of employment (Smithson and Lewis, 2003). Similar to the psychological contract between an employer and employee, IS outsourcing involves a contract and a set of mutual obligations between client and vendor (Ho et al., 2003). Given the lack of prior research on psychological contracts in the IS outsourcing context, we extend such studies and give insights through investigating the role of psychological contracts between client and vendor. Psychological contract theory offers highly relevant and sound theoretical lens for studying IS outsourcing management because of its six distinctive principles: (1) it focuses on mutual (rather than one-sided) obligations between contractual parties, (2) it's more comprehensive than the concept of legal contract, (3) it's an individual-level construct, (4) it changes over time, (5) it affects organizational behaviors, and (6) it's susceptible to organizational factors (Koh et al., 2004; Rousseau, 1996; Coyle-Shapiro, 2000). The aim of this paper is to put the concept, psychological contract commitment (PCC), under the spotlight, by finding out its mediating effects between legal contracts/partnerships and IS outsourcing success. Our interest is in the psychological contract commitment (PCC) or commitment to psychological contracts, which is the extent to which a partner consistently and deeply concerns with what the counter-party believes as obligations during the IS project. The basic premise for the hypothesized relationship between PCC and success is that for outsourcing success, client and vendor should continually commit to mutual obligations in which both parties believe, rather than to only explicit obligations. The psychological contract commitment playsa pivotal role in evaluating a counter-party because it reflects what one party really expects from the other. If one party consistently shows high commitment to psychological contracts, the other party would evaluate it positively. This will increase positive reciprocation efforts of the other party, thus leading to successful outsourcing outcomes (McNeeley and Meglino, 1994). We have used matched sample data for this research. We have collected three responses from each set of a client and a vendor firm: a project manager of the client firm, a project member from the vendor firm with whom the project manager cooperated, and an end-user of the client company who actually used the outsourced information systems. Special caution was given to the data collection process to avoid any bias in responses. We first sent three types of questionnaires (A, Band C) to each project manager of the client firm, asking him/her to answer the first type of questionnaires (A).

The recent emergence of electronic commerce could provide different opportunities to small firms in overcoming part of their technological, environmental, organizational, and managerial inadequacies. However, recent research provided a gloomy picture about electronic commerce uptake and use in small firms. Until now few small flrms adopted electronic commerce. This phenomenon gives us several implications. One of the implications is a need to generate more research to small firms' uptake and use of electronic commerce. So, this research aims at what is determinants in small firms' adoption of electronic commerce, especially business - to - business(B2B). Several previous studies were identified various influential variables in adoption of small firms' electronic commerce. To some extent, by industries these variables may be different in influencing B2B adoption of small firms. This study selected fishery industry's wholesale firms as survey domain. Then, It selected some variables from previous studios and group them in several factors for consistently comparing variable's influential power. Through hierarchical influencing model of B2B adoption, managers who worked for fishery wholesale firms were surveyed. Among the first level's factors of the model, business factor was identified as the statistically most influential factor in B2B adoption. Technological factor and environmental factor at the frist level were identified as relatively less influential factors. Among the second level's factors of the model, it was statistically significant only that technological usefulness factor was more influential than technological burden factor in B2B adoption. And among the third level's factors of the model, it was identified that formal plan and task team for B2B, top management support, and mutual beliefs of inter - firms were statistically more influential than related variables in B2B adoption. These results give us some implications. First, fishery wholesale firms recognized B2B as a new business paradigm, and technological problems as not obstacles in adopting B2B. Thus it would be possible to activate the fishery B2B if they were guided to getting B2B benefits and B2B's relative advantages. Second, they considered the power of influential factors might be different by B2B stages. That is, top management support was more important in the B2B introduction stage, and formal plan and task team for B2B and mutual beliefs of inter - firms were more important in the B2B operation stage.

최근 들어 기업의 사회적 책임(CSR)에 대한 인식이 달라지고 있다. 지금까지 기업의 사회적 책임은 기업의 이미지 개선을 위해 일시적 방편 정도로 인식되었으나 기업의 지속성장을 위한 필수요건이라는 인식이 확산되고 있다. 기업의 사회적 책임은 시대나 경제환경에 따라 변해 왔으며 특히 글로벌 가치사슬이 중요해지면서 수출중소기업의 성장전략으로 자리잡게 되었다. 이러한 상황에서 CSR은 기업의 활동에 점점 필수불가결한 영역이 되고 있으며 이는 중소기업에게도 예외가 아니라고 할 수 있다. 그럼에도 아직 우리나라의 중소기업 CSR은 미진한 상황이며, 그렇기에 짧은 기간에도 불구하고 중소기업까지 CSR이 확산된 일본의 사례는 우리에게 정책적 시사점을 줄 수 있다고 판단된다. 일본의 경우 기업의 사회적 책임은 17세기 오미 상인들로부터 전통으로 내려왔다. 이들이 생각한 기업의 사회적 책임은 판매자에게 이롭고 구매자에게 이득이 있으며 사회에도 도움이 되어야 한다는 이른바 산포요시 정신으로 요약된다. 이런 전통이 일본의 중소기업들에게까지 순조롭게 적용된 일본의 CSR 사례를 바탕으로 다음과 같은 정책적 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 첫째 국가적인 장기계획의 수립 및 보급이 필요하다는 점이다. 둘째 중소기업의 전략적 CSR 도입이 시급하다는 점이다. 셋째 대기업과 중소기업이 상생 협력하는 CSR을 추진해야 한다는 것이다.

협동조합은 조합원의 권익을 향상시키고 지역사회에 공헌하는 것을 목적으로 만들어진 조직을 의미하는 것으로 실제로 지역사회에 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 그리고 이중에서 특히 소비자들이 상부상조의 정신에 입각하여 공동의 복리향상을 도모하기 위하여 자발적으로 설립한 조직이 소비자생활협동조합이다. 한편, 의료법에 의하면 비영리법인에게 의료기관을 개설할 자격을 부여하고 있으므로 소비자생활협동조합이나 협동조합기본법에 따라 설립된 비영리법인인 협동조합은 의료기관을 개설할 자격이 있다. 그런데 애초 사회적 약자인 구성원들의 공동의 이익을 위해 조직되어야 할 협동조합이 의료기관 개설자격을 부여받기 위한 탈법적인 수단으로 악용되는 사례가 증가하였다. 특히 국민건강보험공단이 의료법상 의료기관을 개설할 수 없는 자가 의료인을 고용하여 의료기관을 개설하는 이른바 사무장병원에 대한 조사와 부당이득징수가 강화되자, 이에 따른 우회적인 회피수단으로 의료협동조합을 설립하여 의료기관을 개설하는 수가 급증하였다. 따라서 본 고에서는 우선 의료협동조합의 개설을 규율하고 있는 이원화된 현행 규범체계를 소개하고, 이를 통해 상대적으로 취약한 부분 내지 제도개선이 이루어져야 할 부분을 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 의료협동조합의 개설 운영, 폐업 현황 및 법령위반 내용 등을 체적으로 확인함으로써 현행 의료협동조합개설 운영에 대한 규범적 제도적 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.
