Various eco-design tools have been developed which can be classified into quantitative, semi-quantitative, and qualitative tools. Practitioners are reluctant to utilize quantitative tools in light of their time-demanding nature. Among the qualitative tools, checklists are simple tools that allow a quick and effective evaluation and consideration of environmental impacts over the entire life cycle of a product. A profound and better understanding of eco-design checklists is needed so that practitioners can apply them appropriately to their product development context. Various types of eco-design checklists are analyzed in the present study based on their attributes and classified in a structured way for their efficient utilization in product development contexts.

Decomposition of plant material is an important component in the study of forest ecosystem because of its critical role in nutrient cycling. Different tree species has different nutrient release patterns, which are related to leaf litter quantitative traits and seasonal environmental factors. The quantitative traits of leaf litter are important predictors of decomposition and decomposition rates increase with greater nutrient availability in the forest ecosystems. At the ecosystem level, litter quantitative traits are most often related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the litter, for example, leaf toughness and leaf mass per unit area, and lignin content tannin and total phenolics. Thus, the analysis of litter quantitative traits and decomposition are highly important for the understanding of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. By studying the role of litter quantitative traits on decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems will provide a valuable insight to how quantitative traits influence ecosystem nutrient dynamics. Such knowledge will contribute to future forest management and conservation practices.

Steel industry in Korea is a key national industry that has led economic growth for a long time. And accidents occurred from a variety of causes has endlessly made as much as remarkable achievements of steel industry. It is a fact that research achievements of disaster prevention in steel industry has not been significantly, compared to production technique achievements. And the level of interest on safety management in the steel industry is conspicuously low. Although support activity for a various safety management are provided reasonably to prevent disasters occurring with subcontractors. A method capable of quantitative evaluation, applied to subcontractors in most business places are relatively rare except parent firms-leading places. This study is to make and show safety management activities to purcue in advance in conjunction with a parent firm through development of a more systematic and quantitative evaluation model for disaster prevention with steel industry subcontractors, and to contribute to disaster prevention in domestic steel industry through advanced safety management method, by applying a proposed evaluation model of safety management activities as subcontractors in steel industry.

This study aims to identify the relationship between human resource management practices, work engagement, and proactive behavior of health workers in Gia Lai Province in Vietnam. Based on theoretical frameworks of human resource management, work engagement, and proactive behavior, this study developed a research model and tested its relationship between human resource management practices, work engagement, and the proactive behavior of healthcare workers in Gia Lai Province. This research has used a mixed research method with qualitative and quantitative research. The quantitative research was conducted by survey with 232 health workers. The hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings showed that human resource management practices have a positive and significant influence on proactive behavior, which directly influences healthcare workers' work engagement. Besides, work engagement plays a role in mediating the influence of human resource management practices on proactive behavior. This research implies that health care organizations should pay more attention to human resource management practices to improve work engagement that assists in increasing employee proactive behavior. Efficient human resource management practices help boost work engagement and, initiality, improve the quality of health care services and minimize errors in treatments.

SPI (Software Process Improvement) activities have been considered one of the crucial approaches to achieve high quality, productivity and timely delivery of software products and services. The basic premise of SPI model is that higher maturity levels lead to better performance. In this research, the relationships between SPI results and performance were empirically investigated with Korean software companies. CMM key process areas were categorized into two dimensions, "Process Implementation" and "Quantitative Management". The relationship between process implementation and performance was significant, but the relationship between quantitative management and performance was insignificant. The control variable, size of OU(Organizational Unit), did not have significant impact on the relationships between SPI activities and OU performance.

공공부문 정보화사업의 효율적인 관리를 위해서는 정보화사업의 특성을 반영한 관리방법론이 필요한 상황이다. 그러나 기존의 유사한 프로젝트관리의 경우 그 내용이 시스템공급자 위 주로 되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 추상적이고 다양한 해석을 가질 수 있어 공공부문에서는 적용하기에는 어려움이 많았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공공부분에서 정보화사업이 갖는 특성을 반영하여 개별 사업에 따라 관리를 용이하게 하고, 성과측정 기반의 관리 모델을 제시하였다. 제시한 관리방법론 프레임웍은 실증분석과 보완을 거쳐 최종적으로 국내의 다양한 정보화 사업 프로그램과 각 부처의 독자적인 사업관리에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 사업관리방법론의 적용을 통해서 사업관리의 과학화 및 체계화를 이루어 궁극적으로 정보화사업의 성공적인 추진 및 관리를 도모를 기대한다.

Many problems making the use and management of patents arduous is caused by the difficulty in knowing the proper value. This study has suggests the methods to evaluate the value of patents by using a quantitative assessment scale as an alternative or complementary measure instead of the existing subjective evaluation tools. This study is to find a method to determine the capability and level of research and establish the scheme of use and management of patents by using the citation index as a quantitative assessment measure. The data used in this paper has been obtained from a public-sector R&D institute, the K-Institute in Korea.

The launch of a new business is crucial to the future growth and profitability of a company. A new business project typically requires a large amount of resources while it has a high possibility of failure. The evaluation of new business opportunities is therefore quite a critical decision-making to companies. This evaluation includes screening of a large number of criteria at a time which often makes desision-making very complicated. Management should evaluate the business alternatives in a sound and consistent manner that is hard to achieve because the new business evaluation is a typical semi/unstructured decision-making problem. The difficulty in such an evaluation will increase if it is required for management to consider both quantitative and qualitative criteria simultaneously. Under these circumstances, this study has proposed a decision-making framework that utilizes analytical hierarchy process(AHP). This study has identified a set of criteria essential to the new business evaluation and suggested a systematic framework for it. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations are incorporated into the single framework in this study.

IT 투자성과의 정량화에 대한 필요성이 높아짐에 따라 학계와 연구단체에서 IT 투자성과의 화폐가치 전환 및 정량적 평가를 위한 다양한 측정방법들을 개발하여 제시하고 있으며, 이들 기법을 활용하여 IT 투자성과를 정량적으로 평가하는 기업들이 점차 늘고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 IT 투자성과의 정량적 평가 기법을 도입한 기업의 실무자들은 화폐가치로 전환되어 도출된 결과들이 가시적으로 확인될 수 있는 것이 아니기 때문에 IT가 제공하는 실 효과를 제대로 반영하여 평가되었는지에 대하여 확신하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 IT 투자성과의 정량적 평가 결과를 기존의 많은 연구를 통해 IT 투자성과의 정성적인 평가로 입증된 사용자 만족도로써 설명이 가능한지 파악하여 보기 위하여 기업의 사례 분석을 통해 그 상관관계를 분석하였다. 사례 연구 결과, 다음과 같은 시사점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 정보화 효과금액은 사용자 만족도와 상관관계가 있다. 둘째, 합리적인 정보화 효과금액의 도출을 위해서는 조직 내에서 시스템의 효과를 정량화할 수 있는 지표 개발 및 화폐전환 데이터의 관리가 중요하다. 셋째, IT ROI는 시스템 간의 성과를 비교하는 것에는 부적절하며 개별 시스템의 성과 및 효율성 측정 기준으로 사용하는 것이 적절하다. 넷째, 정량적 평가가 여전히 시스템의 전략적인 부분 등에 대한 평가에는 미흡하기 때문에 이를 보완하기 위한 방법으로 사용자 만족도를 함께 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.
