The buyer must pay the price under the contract and must take delivery of the goods of contract. The buyer's obligation to pay the price includes taking such steps and such formalities under the contract. The remedial system of the rights of the seller is easier than that of the buyer, for the obligations of the former are less complicated. The seller has the right to avoid a contract provided two conditions are fulfilled : (a) the buyer must have committed a fundamental breach of contract, or (b) the additional period for performance set by the seller in the case of non-performance must have expired. A decision is more difficult to take in the case of a delay where there is no fixed-term contract, to clarify the situation the seller may set a Nachfrist. It is essential that the contracting parties in Korea should understand the provisions of CISG.

We conducted a systematic review to summarize providers' attitudes toward pay-for-performance (P4P), focusing on their general attitudes, the effects of P4P, their favorable design and implementation methods, and concerns. An electronic search was performed in PubMed and Scopus using selected keywords including P4P. Two reviewers screened target articles using titles and abstract review and then read the full version of the screened articles for the final selections. In addition, one reference of screened articles and one unpublished report were also included. Therefore, 14 articles were included in this study. Healthcare providers' attitudes on P4P were summarized in two ways. First, we gathered their general attitudes and opinions regarding the effects of P4P. Second, we rearranged their opinions regarding desirable P4P design and implementation methods, as well as their concerns. This study showed the possibility that some healthcare providers still have a low level of awareness about P4P and might prefer voluntary participation in P4P. In addition, they felt that adequate quality indicators and additional support for implementation of P4P would be needed. Most healthcare providers also had serious concerns that P4P would induce unintended consequences. In order to conduct successful implementation of P4P, purchaser should make more efforts such as increasing providers' level of awareness about P4P, providing technical and educational support, reducing their burden, developing a cooperative relationship with providers, developing more accurate quality measures, and minimizing the unintended consequences.

The purpose of this study was to explore high school teachers' subjective perception on performance-based pay system(PBPS) for teachers using Q-methodology. This study found three types of high school teachers' subjective perception on the system. Type I is named 'the type of negative perception.' The subjects of type I emphasize the PBPS is not appropriate system for motivating teachers' educational behaviors. Type II is named 'the type of neutral perception.' The subjects of type II emphasize the PBPS is a fair job evaluation, strengthening cooperative atmosphere of educational community but the system is not an usefulness for causing educational behavior etc. Type III is named 'the type of acceptive perception.' The subjects of type III emphasize the PBPS is a good policy to reward for the work most people avoid getting into and improve culture of teaching job etc.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness of long-term care hospitals on pay for performance(P4P) program in Korea. We conducted a cross-sectional, self-administered, the internet based survey from September to October in 2010. The questionnaire was consisted of the levels of awareness and agreement about the program, their preferred design and its possible effects and unintended consequences etc. Among 837 eligible long-term care hospitals in Korea, 114 hospitals(13.6%) were participated in the survey. About one-thirds of long-term care hospitals were not aware of P4P, namely it is important to heighten an awareness of P4P. There were pros and cons on introduction of P4P in Korea. The two major reasons of objections of P4P were the concerns of unintended consequences and the possibility of strengthening government control by implementing P4P. In conclusion, to successfully implement P4P to long-term care hospitals, the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service(HIRA) in Korea should obtain the long-term care hospitals'opinion as to implementation of P4P.

This study was performed as part of the development of the payment adjustment regulations for ensuring high performance of concrete pavements. The objectives of this study were to develop the reasonable quality measurement approaches for the implementation of the payment adjustment regulations and to propose the methods to determine the quality dependent pay factors. First, by using the statistics the slab thickness measurement data was analyzed and the methods to determine the allowable measurement errors, the proper measurement spacing, and the selection of the measurement location were proposed. In addition, to suggest the reasonable methods to determine the pay factors, by using the data of the slab thickness and concrete flexural strength, the pay factors based on the PWL(Percent Within Limits) method used in the USA were compared with those obtained considering the normal probability distribution and t distribution. Finally, the most appropriate method to determine the pay factors was proposed.

This paper analyzes the effects of three factors on the firm-size wage premium which have not been considered in previous studies: the worker compositions within firms, the wage differentials between contractors and subcontractors, and the performance pay and rent-sharing behaviors of firms. The main results are as follows. First, even after controlling for the various worker characteristics, the differences in shares of highly educated workers, managers, and professionals between large and small firms make the size-wage premium larger. Secondly, wage differentials between contractors and subcontractors also affect the size-wage premium in the manufacturing sector. Thirdly, high performance pay and active rent-sharing behaviors of large manufacturing firms make the size-wage premium larger. These results imply that a positive matching effect among skilled workers, a structural problem between contractors and subcontractors, and differences in rent-sharing behaviors between large and small firms have affected the firm-size wage premium in the South Korean labor market.

for the low information goods which will be traded through Internet is impossible to manage with previously existed payment system. The reason is that it's not economic because the management cost is bigger than the benefit of the information goods trade. Therefore, recently, there have been micropaymentresearches such as "Milicent", "PayWord", "MicroMint", and "iKP", etc. Though these methods don't have any problem with the low cost of the mechanism and the satisfaction of adequate security, they have big problem with the use of the unnecessary account and the aggregation of payment bill. The PayHash system which has been developed in this study simplifies the system's mechanism with "one-way hash function" which is used in generation, payment, and verification of the bill. And the system removed the generation and use of unnecessary account by making one customer have one account. The system solve the problem of the payment aggregation by using the last payment hash value and its index. And the system improves its performance by reducing the use of "digital signature" drastically, as well. As the result of this study, the PayHash system made it possible for the participants of the Internet Commerce to trade the lowest cost goods through efficient maintenance.o trade the lowest cost goods through efficient maintenance.

International transactions have the threat of non-payment by the buyer or non-performance by the seller. Parties tend to search for additional means of securing performance and payment beyond the mere agreement in the contract. Such security may be achieved by means of a letter of credit. When contracting parties have agreed to pay by means of a letter of credit, the buyer's bank takes upon itself the obligation to pay the purchase price when the seller tenders the documents that are stipulated in the letter of credit. The documents must comply strictly with the terms of the credit.. The documents play a crucial role in letter of credit transaction. The principles of abstraction, separability and strict compliance governing the letter of credit transaction are considered. The concept of fundamental breach of Article 25 CISG was discussed. This article examines whether a failure to deliver documents conforming to the terms of the letter of credit can constitute a fundamental breach of the sales contract as defined by Article 25 of the CISG by the seller and thereby enable the buyer to avoid the contract. For letter of credit transactions it should be accepted that the delivery of non-performing documents constitutes a fundamental breach, if the result of this breach is that the bank refuses to pay the price for the goods. On the other hand, in the interpretation of Article 25 CISG, it should be noted that if the parties have agreed to payment by means of a letter of credit, they have simultaneously agreed to apply the strict compliance principle to the delivery of documents in the sales contract. Finally the parties should ensure that inconsistency between the requirements under the documentary credit and the requirements under the contract of sale is avoided, since the buyer may be in breach of his payment obligation if the seller cannot get paid under the documentary credit when his documents conform with the contract of sale.
