Recently, the CO2 emission and energy consumption have become critical global issues to decide the future of nations. Especially, the spread of IT products and the increased use of internet and web applications result in the energy consumption and CO2 emission of IT industry though information technologies drive global economic growth. EU, the United States, Japan and other developed countries are using IT related environmental regulations such as WEEE(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS(Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substance), REACH(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of CHemicals) and EuP(Energy using Product), and have established systematic green business/IT strategies to enhance the competitiveness of IT industry. For example, the Japan government proposed the "Green IT initiative" for being compatible with economic growth and environmental protection. Not only energy saving technologies but energy saving systems have been developed for accomplishing sustainable development. Korea's CO2 emission and energy consumption continuously have grown at comparatively high rates. They are related to its industrial structure depending on high energy-consuming industries such as iron and steel Industry, automotive industry, shipbuilding industry, semiconductor industry, and so on. In particular, export proportion of IT manufacturing is quite high in Korea. For example, the global market share of the semiconductor such as DRAM was about 80% in 2008. Accordingly, Korea needs to establish a systematic strategy to respond to the global environmental regulations and to maintain competitiveness in the IT industry. However, green competitiveness of Korea ranked 11th among 15 major countries and R&D budget for green technology is not large enough to develop energy-saving technologies for infrastructure and value chain of low-carbon society though that grows at high rates. Moreover, there are no concrete action plans in Korea. This research aims to deduce the priorities of the Korean green business/IT strategies to use multi attribute weighted average method. We selected a panel of 19 experts who work at the green business related firms such as HP, IBM, Fujitsu and so on, and selected six assessment indices such as the urgency of the technology development, the technology gap between Korea and the developed countries, the effect of import substitution, the spillover effect of technology, the market growth, and the export potential of the package or stand-alone products by existing literature review. We submitted questionnaires at approximately weekly intervals to them for priorities of the green business/IT strategies. The strategies broadly classify as follows. The first strategy which consists of the green business/IT policy and standardization, process and performance management and IT industry and legislative alignment relates to government's role in the green economy. The second strategy relates to IT to support environment sustainability such as the travel and ways of working management, printer output and recycling, intelligent building, printer rationalization and collaboration and connectivity. The last strategy relates to green IT systems, services and usage such as the data center consolidation and energy management, hardware recycle decommission, server and storage virtualization, device power management, and service supplier management. All the questionnaires were assessed via a five-point Likert scale ranging from "very little" to "very large." Our findings show that the IT to support environment sustainability is prior to the other strategies. In detail, the green business /IT policy and standardization is the most important in the government's role. The strategies of intelligent building and the travel and ways of working management are prior to the others for supporting environment sustainability. Finally, the strategies for the data center consolidation and energy management and server and storage virtualization have the huge influence for green IT systems, services and usage This research results the following implications. The amount of energy consumption and CO2 emissions of IT equipment including electrical business equipment will need to be clearly indicated in order to manage the effect of green business/IT strategy. And it is necessary to develop tools that measure the performance of green business/IT by each step. Additionally, intelligent building could grow up in energy-saving, growth of low carbon and related industries together. It is necessary to expand the affect of virtualization though adjusting and controlling the relationship between the management teams.

Recently, due to the globalization of the IT(Information Technology) market, devices and systems designed in one country are used in other countries as well. This phenomenon is becoming the key factor for increased interest on cross-cultural, or cross-national, research within the IT area. However, as the IT market is becoming bigger and more globalized, a great number of IT practitioners are having difficulty in designing and developing devices or systems which can provide optimal experience. This is because not only tangible factors such as language and a country's economic or industrial power affect the user experience of a certain device or system but also invisible and intangible factors as well. Among such invisible and intangible factors, the cultural characteristics of users from different countries may affect the user experience of certain devices or systems because cultural characteristics affect how they understand and interpret the devices or systems. In other words, when users evaluate the quality of overall user experience, the cultural characteristics of each user act as a perceptual lens that leads the user to focus on a certain elements of experience. Therefore, there is a need within the IT field to consider cultural characteristics when designing or developing certain devices or systems and plan a strategy for localization. In such an environment, existing IS studies identify the culture with the country, emphasize the importance of culture in a national level perspective, and hypothesize that users within the same country have same cultural characteristics. Under such assumptions, these studies focus on the moderating effects of cultural characteristics on a national level within a certain theoretical framework. This has already been suggested by cross-cultural studies conducted by scholars such as Hofstede(1980) in providing numerical research results and measurement items for cultural characteristics and using such results or items as they increase the efficiency of studies. However, such national level culture has its limitations in forecasting and explaining individual-level behaviors such as voluntary device or system usage. This is because individual cultural characteristics are the outcome of not only the national culture but also the culture of a race, company, local area, family, and other groups that are formulated through interaction within the group. Therefore, national or nationally dominant cultural characteristics may have its limitations in forecasting and explaining the cultural characteristics of an individual. Moreover, past studies in psychology suggest a possibility that there exist different cultural characteristics within a single individual depending on the subject being measured or its context. For example, in relation to individual vs. collective characteristics, which is one of the major cultural characteristics, an individual may show collectivistic characteristics when he or she is with family or friends but show individualistic characteristics in his or her workplace. Therefore, this study acknowledged such limitations of past studies and conducted a research within the framework of 'theoretically integrated model of user satisfaction and emotional attachment', which was developed through a former study, on how the effects of different experience elements on emotional attachment or user satisfaction are differentiated depending on the individual cultural characteristics related to a system or device usage. In order to do this, this study hypothesized the moderating effects of four cultural dimensions (uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs, collectivism, masculinity vs. femininity, and power distance) as suggested by Hofstede(1980) within the theoretically integrated model of emotional attachment and user satisfaction. Statistical tests were then implemented on these moderating effects through conducting surveys with users of four digital devices (mobile phone, MP3 player, LCD TV, and refrigerator) in three countries (US, Germany, and Russia). In order to explain and forecast the behavior of personal device or system users, individual cultural characteristics must be measured, and depending on the target device or system, measurements must be measured independently. Through this suggestion, this study hopes to provide new and useful perspectives for future IS research.

Virtual community(VC) will increasingly be organized as commercial enterprises, with the objective of earning an attractive financial return by providing members with valuable resources and environment. For example, Cyworld.com in Korea uses several community services to enable customers of Cyworld to take control of their own value as potential purchasers of products and services. Although initial adoption is important for online network service success, it does not necessarily result in the desired managerial performance unless the initial usage is continuously related to the continuous usage and purchase. Particularly, the customer who receives relevant online services and is well equipped with online network services, will trust the online service provider and perceive less risk and experience more activities such as continuous usage and purchase. Thus, how to promote continued online service usage or, alternatively, how to prevent discontinuance is a critical issue for VC service providers to consider. By aggregating a wide range of information and online environments for customers and providing trust to its members, the service providers of virtual communities help to reduce the perceived risk of continuous usage and purchase. Drill down, online service managers realize that achieving strong and sustained customers who continuously use online service and purchase on it is crucial. Therefore, the research into this online service continuance will identify the relationship between the initial usage and the continuous usage and purchase. The research of continuous usage or post adoption has recently emerged as an important issue in the IS literature. Individuals' information systems(IS) continuous usage decisions are congruent with consumers' repeat purchase decisions. The TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) paradigm has been strongly confirmed across a wide range from product purchase on EC to online service usage contexts. The analysis of IS usage based on TAM has proven to be successful across almost online service contexts. However, most of previous studies have focused on only an area (i.e., VC or EC). Just little research has tried to analyze the relationship between VC and EC. The effect of some factors on user intention, captured through several theories such as TAM, has been demonstrated. Yet, few studies have explored the salient relationships of VC users' EC acceptance. To fill this gap between VC and EC research, this paper attempts to develop a research model that extends the TAM perspective in view of the additional contributions of trust in the service provider and trust in members on some factors that affect EC and VC adoption. In this extension, we applied the TAM-to-TAM(T2T) model, and analyzed the transfer effect of trust between these two TAMs. The research model was empirically tested on the context of a social network service. The model was to extend TAM with the trust concept for the virtual community environment from the perspective of tasks. By building an extended model of TAM and examining the relationships between trust and the existing variables of TAM, it is aimed to explain a user's continuous intention to use VC and purchase on EC. The unit of analysis in this paper is an individual user of a virtual community. The population of interest is the individual with the experiences in virtual community. The data for this paper was made available via a Web survey of VC users. In total, 281 cases were gathered for about one week, but there were some missing values in the sample and there were some inappropriate cases. Thus, only 248 cases were finally analyzed. We chose the structural equation analysis to test the hypotheses and it is better suited for explaining complex relationships than the other methods. In this test, AMOS was used to test the Structural Equation Model (SEM). Noticeable results have been found in the T2T model regarding the factors affecting the intention to use of virtual community and loyalty. Our result showed that trust transfer plays a key role in forming the two adoption beliefs. Overall, this study preliminarily confirms the salience of trust transfer in online service.

This paper empirically examines factors that potentially influence the success of a Web-based semantic search engine. A research model has been proposed that shows the impact of quality-related factors upon the effectiveness of a semantic search engine, based on DeLone and McLean's(2003) information systems success model. An empirical study has been conducted to test hypotheses formulated around the research model, and statistical methods were applied to analyze gathered data and draw conclusions. Implications for academics and practitioners are offered based on the findings of the study. The proposed model includes three quality dimensions of a Web-based semantic search engine-namely, information quality, system quality and service quality. These three dimensions each have measures designed to collectively assess the respective dimension. The model is intended to examine the relationship between measures of these quality dimensions and measures of two dependent constructs, including individuals' net benefit and user satisfaction. Individuals' net benefit was measured by the extent to which the user's information needs were adequately met, whereas user satisfaction was measured by a combination of the perceived satisfaction with search results and the perceived satisfaction with the overall system. A total of 23 hypotheses have been formulated around the model, and a questionnaire survey has been conducted using a functional semantic search website created by KT and Hakia, so as to collect data to validate the model. Copies of a questionnaire form were handed out in person to 160 research associates and employees working in the area of designing and developing semantic search engines. Those who received the form, 148 respondents returned valid responses. The survey form asked respondents to use the given website to answer questions concerning the system. The results of the empirical study have indicated that, of the three quality dimensions, information quality was found to have the strongest association with the effectiveness of a Web-based semantic search engine. This finding is consistent with the observation in the literature that the aspects of the information quality should serve as a basis for evaluating the search outcomes from a semantic search engine. Measures under the information quality dimension that have a positive effect on informational gratification and user satisfaction were found to be recall and currency. Under the system quality dimension, response time and interactivity, were positively related to informational gratification. On the other hand, only one measure under the service quality dimension, reliability was found to have a positive relationship with user satisfaction. The results were based on the seven hypotheses that have been accepted. One may wonder why 15 out of the 23 hypotheses have been rejected and question the theoretical soundness of the model. However, the correlations between independent variables and dependent variables came out to be fairly high. This suggests that the structural equation model yielded results inconsistent with those of coefficient analysis, because the structural equation model intends to examine the relationship among independent variables as well as the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The findings offer some useful implications for owners of a semantic search engine, as far as the design and maintenance of the website is concerned. First, the system should be designed to respond to the user's query as fast as possible. Also it should be designed to support the search process by recommending, revising, and choosing a search query, so as to maximize users' interactions with the system. Second, the system should present search results with maximum recall and currency to effectively meet the users' expectations. Third, it should be capable of providing online services in a reliable and trustworthy manner. Finally, effective increase in user satisfaction requires the improvement of quality factors associated with a semantic search engine, which would in turn help increase the informational gratification for users. The proposed model can serve as a useful framework for measuring the success of a Web-based semantic search engine. Applying the search engine success framework to the measurement of search engine effectiveness has the potential to provide an outline of what areas of a semantic search engine needs improvement, in order to better meet information needs of users. Further research will be needed to make this idea a reality.

Internet computing is a disruptive IT innovation. Semantic Web can be considered as an IT innovation because the Semantic Web technology possesses the potential to reduce information overload and enable semantic integration, using capabilities such as semantics and machine-processability. How should organizations adopt the Semantic Web? What factors affect the adoption and diffusion of Semantic Web innovation? Most studies on adoption and diffusion of innovation use empirical analysis as a quantitative research methodology in the post-implementation stage. There is criticism that the positivist requiring theoretical rigor can sacrifice relevance to practice. Rapid advances in technology require studies relevant to practice. In particular, it is realistically impossible to conduct quantitative approach for factors affecting adoption of the Semantic Web because the Semantic Web is in its infancy. However, in an early stage of introduction of the Semantic Web, it is necessary to give a model and some guidelines and for adoption and diffusion of the technology innovation to practitioners and researchers. Thus, the purpose of this study is to present a model of adoption and diffusion of the Semantic Web and to offer propositions as guidelines for successful adoption through a qualitative research method including multiple case studies and in-depth interviews. The researcher conducted interviews with 15 people based on face-to face and 2 interviews by telephone and e-mail to collect data to saturate the categories. Nine interviews including 2 telephone interviews were from nine user organizations adopting the technology innovation and the others were from three supply organizations. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The interviews were recorded on digital voice recorder memory and subsequently transcribed verbatim. 196 pages of transcripts were obtained from about 12 hours interviews. Triangulation of evidence was achieved by examining each organization website and various documents, such as brochures and white papers. The researcher read the transcripts several times and underlined core words, phrases, or sentences. Then, data analysis used the procedure of open coding, in which the researcher forms initial categories of information about the phenomenon being studied by segmenting information. QSR NVivo version 8.0 was used to categorize sentences including similar concepts. 47 categories derived from interview data were grouped into 21 categories from which six factors were named. Five factors affecting adoption of the Semantic Web were identified. The first factor is demand pull including requirements for improving search and integration services of the existing systems and for creating new services. Second, environmental conduciveness, reference models, uncertainty, technology maturity, potential business value, government sponsorship programs, promising prospects for technology demand, complexity and trialability affect the adoption of the Semantic Web from the perspective of technology push. Third, absorptive capacity is an important role of the adoption. Fourth, suppler's competence includes communication with and training for users, and absorptive capacity of supply organization. Fifth, over-expectance which results in the gap between user's expectation level and perceived benefits has a negative impact on the adoption of the Semantic Web. Finally, the factor including critical mass of ontology, budget. visible effects is identified as a determinant affecting routinization and infusion. The researcher suggested a model of adoption and diffusion of the Semantic Web, representing relationships between six factors and adoption/diffusion as dependent variables. Six propositions are derived from the adoption/diffusion model to offer some guidelines to practitioners and a research model to further studies. Proposition 1 : Demand pull has an influence on the adoption of the Semantic Web. Proposition 1-1 : The stronger the degree of requirements for improving existing services, the more successfully the Semantic Web is adopted. Proposition 1-2 : The stronger the degree of requirements for new services, the more successfully the Semantic Web is adopted. Proposition 2 : Technology push has an influence on the adoption of the Semantic Web. Proposition 2-1 : From the perceptive of user organizations, the technology push forces such as environmental conduciveness, reference models, potential business value, and government sponsorship programs have a positive impact on the adoption of the Semantic Web while uncertainty and lower technology maturity have a negative impact on its adoption. Proposition 2-2 : From the perceptive of suppliers, the technology push forces such as environmental conduciveness, reference models, potential business value, government sponsorship programs, and promising prospects for technology demand have a positive impact on the adoption of the Semantic Web while uncertainty, lower technology maturity, complexity and lower trialability have a negative impact on its adoption. Proposition 3 : The absorptive capacities such as organizational formal support systems, officer's or manager's competency analyzing technology characteristics, their passion or willingness, and top management support are positively associated with successful adoption of the Semantic Web innovation from the perceptive of user organizations. Proposition 4 : Supplier's competence has a positive impact on the absorptive capacities of user organizations and technology push forces. Proposition 5 : The greater the gap of expectation between users and suppliers, the later the Semantic Web is adopted. Proposition 6 : The post-adoption activities such as budget allocation, reaching critical mass, and sharing ontology to offer sustainable services are positively associated with successful routinization and infusion of the Semantic Web innovation from the perceptive of user organizations.

각각 20 시료씩 최대한 다양한 산지에서 생산된 것으로 추정되는 참굴, 김 및 조피볼락을 시중에서 수집하여 이들 수산 식품에 존재하는 15 종의 다환성 방향족 탄화수소류 (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs)의 잔류량을 분석하였다. 그 결과 1종의 PAHs라도 발견되는 시료의 비율은 참굴 전육질부(75%), 조피볼락 간췌장(35%), 조피볼락 근육(0%), 건조 김(0%) 순이었다. 이런 차이가 나타나도록 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위해 실험실에서 대표적 PAHs의 하나인 phenanthrene을 이 세 종의 생물에 0.01 및 $0.1{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 2주간 노출시켰다. 참굴의 소화선, 김, 조피볼락의 간췌장에서 높은 축적성이 관찰되었지만 굴의 전 육질부(소화선 포함)나 조피볼락의 근육에서는 낮은 축적성이 관찰되었다. 생물 종간의 실험실 노출에서의 축적성 차이와 시중 시료에서 발견된 잔류성 차이는 관련성이 거의 없었다. PAHs는 소수성이 강한 물질이기 때문에 생물 종간 지방 함량을 분석하여 지방함량이 PAHs 축적성에 관련되는 지를 평가하였다. 조피볼락의 간췌장이 근육에 비해 지질 함량이 높았고 phenanthrene 축적성도 높은 것으로 조사되어 조피볼락에서 지질 함량이 간췌장으로의 PAHs의 축적에 어느 정도 기여하는 것으로 추정되었지만 다른 생물에서는 지질 함량에 따른 phenanthrene 축적성 차이가 없었다. 또한 PAHs 대사를 통한 배설 정도를 평가하기 위해 cytochrome $P_{450}$ 효소의 하나인 7-ethyoxyresorufin-O-deethylase(EROD)의 활성을 분석한 결과, 조피볼락에서는 참굴 보다 EROD 활성이 훨씬 높게 나타나 조피볼락에서 참굴보다 PAHs의 제거가 더 활발하였음을 추정할 수 있었고 그 결과로 인해 조피볼락에서 상대적으로 PAHs 검출 빈도를 낮게 나타난 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 본 연구에서 분석되지 않은 인자들 예를 들면, 생물간 노출 조건의 차이, 도피 능력, 섭이를 통한 축적 및 가공 과정에서의 소실 등에 대한 평가는 더 조사해야 할 부분이다.

심해저 표층 퇴적물 중 주원소, 미량원소, 희토류 원소의 수직 함량분포 및 변화의 원인을 구명하기 위해 북동 태평양 클라리온-클리퍼톤 균열대(Clarion-Cliperton fracture zone, C-C 지역) 중남부에 위치한 한국심해환경연구(Korea Deep-sea Environmental Study, KODES) 지역에서 다중 주상 및 상자형 퇴적물 채취기를 이용해 주상시료 6개를 채취 분석했다. KODES 지역 주상 시료는 갈색인 Unit I과 연갈색인 Unit II로 구분되며, Unit I은 함수량이 높은 준액상층(peneliquid layer)인 반면 Unit II는 상대적으로 고화가 진행된 층이다. 두 Unit 간 주원소, 희토류 원소 그리고 Cu, Sr, Rb 등 원소는 함량 차이는 적으나 Mn, Ni, Co 등 원소는 Unit II에 비해 Unit I에서 함량이 2~3배 높다. R-형 요인 분석결과 연구지역 퇴적물은 Al-Ti-K-Mg-Fe-Rb-Ce 등으로 구성된 규산염 상, Ca-P-Cu-Sr-3+REEs(Trivalent Rare Earth Elements)로 구성된 인회석 상, 그리고 Mn-Ni-Co로 구성된 망간산화물 상으로 구분되는데, 규산염 상과 인회석 상은 두 Unit 간 요인점수가 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 반면 망간산화물 상은 Unit I에서 요인점수가 높다. 한편, 두 Unit는 Ni/Cu 비에 의해 구분되는데, Unit I의 Ni/Cu 비가 Unit II보다 2배 높다. 이것은 미세환원환경에서 재동된 후 준액상층인 Unit I에 산화물로 재침전된 Ni, 그라고 유기물과 함께 해저면으로 공급된 후 Unit I에서 유기물이 분해되면서 재동되어 인회석에 포함된 Cu 의 지화학적 거동 차이에 기인한 것으로 해석된다.

최근 우리나라는 창업과 관련된 육성정책이 다른 정책에 비해 우선시 되고 있지만 이를 뒷받침할 수 있는 국내 창업연구는 극히 부족하며 제한적인 실정이다. 연구 내용도 창업자의 개인적인 역량이나 기업가정신에 관한 연구가 주를 이루고 있으며, 연구결과도 명확히 검증되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기존 연구주제와 다르게 창업자의 노력에 따라 달라질 수 있는 창업 준비 수준의 변수를 중심으로 창업 준비성과 경영성과 사이의 관계에 정부지원 정책의 효율성을 검증하기 위한 목적으로 첫째, 창업 준비성과 재무적성과 사이의 관계, 둘째, 창업 준비성과 비재무적성과 사이의 관계, 셋째, 창업 준비성과 경영성과 사이의 창업 준비 기간의 상호작용 효과를 분석하고 체계적인 창업지원 정책제언을 통해 창업실패의 사회적 비용을 줄이고자 한다. 연구를 위해 창업진흥원의 실태조사 자료 중 업력이 5년 미만의 창업초기 기업 400개를 선정하였으며 통계프로그램 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 통계처리를 하였다. 자료의 특성 정리를 위해 빈도분석, 기술통계를 시행하였고 가설 검증을 위하여 창업 준비성을 측정하는 하위요인으로는 창업교육시간, 창업수혜금액, 배태조직경력을 독립변수로 경영성과를 측정하는 하위요인으로는 재무적 성과와 비재무적성과를 종속변수로 사용하였다, 상호작용 효과를 검증하기 위하여 창업 준비기간을 조절변수로 선정하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 독립변수인 창업수혜금액은 재무적 성과와 비재무적성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 창업교육시간과 배태조직경력이 비재무적성과에 미치는 영향이 창업교육시간은 정(+)의 영향을 배태조직경력은 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 재무적 성과에는 유의하지 않은 것을 검증하였다. 또한 창업 준비기간의 상호작용은 창업수혜금액과 비재무적성과 사이에서만 정(+)의 영향이 있고, 창업교육시간, 배태조직경력과 비재무적성과와 재무적 성과 사이에 상호작용은 유의하지 않은 것을 검증하였다. 연구결과를 통해 취업난 해소를 위한 창업정책 입안자들에게는 창업초기기업의 경영성과 향상을 위한 지원방안을 창업 준비성 수준에 따라 맞춤형 지원정책을 수립하고, 창업지원사업의 실효성을 위해서는 정책의 수립과 운용에 있어 양적인 증가보다는 개별 지원 사업들에 대한 구조적인 문제를 점검하고 질적 수준 향상을 위한 개선방안 마련 및 청년 예비 CEO들에게는 창업이 우선인지 아니면 창업을 위한 철저한 준비가 우선인지 방향을 제시할 수 있다는 점에서 연구의 의미가 있다.
