식품관련 질병의 증가, 식품산업의 거대한 성장과 제품, 생산과정의 다양성 등으로 식품안전성 문제가 대두됨에 따라 전 세계적으로 식품위생 시스템에 기초한HACCP을 확대 적용하고 있는 추세이다. HACCP은 식품의 안전성 확보를 위하여 식품의 생산단계에서 발생 가능한 위해 요소를 사전에 관리하는 과학적 관리시스템이다. 국내의 90% 이상을 차지하고 있는 중소규모 식품산업체는 현실여건상 HACCP을 적용할 수 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 중소규모 식품산업체에서 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 HACCP의 적용방안을 제시하였다. 미국, 일본, 캐나다, EU, 한국의 HACCP 현황 자료를 수집하였으며, 미국, 일본, 캐나다, 영국의 중 소규모 식품산업체를 위한 지원방안을 조사하였다. 국외의 경우기업체의 크기 등에 따라 차등화 된 유예기간을 적용하거나, HACCP 적용을 위해 재정상의 보조금 지급, 교육, training, 의사소통 등으로 식품산업체에 HASCP적용을 지원하고 있었다. 설문 방문조사를 통해 국내 중소규모 식품산업체에서의 실태 및 HACCP 적용의 문제점을 조사하였다. 재정상의 어려움, 전문인력의 부족, 경영자의 위생인식 부족이 가장 큰 문제점으로 파악되었다. 이를 토대로 유예기간 지정으로 그 문제점을 개선하는 한시적 간소화방안을 제시하였다. 식품의 안전성은 기업의 크기와 상관 있는 것이 아니라 operation과 관련된 것이기 때문에 중소규모 식품산업체도 대기업과 같은 식품위생기준을 적용하여 관리하여야한다. 따라서 HACCP 적용의 일정 기간의 유예기간를 두고 경제적 지원과 지도 교육, HASCP 원칙 중기록 및 검증의 단순화, 전문 인력의 양성 등을 통해 그 기간 후에는 중소규모 식품산업체에 HACCP 적용을 용이토록 하는 안을 제시하였다.

This study performed empirical analyses of the static trade-off theory and the pecking order theory which explain financing behavior of firms. The results of regression analyses using the data of 762 listed non-financing firms on the KOSDAQ market from 2000 to 2010 have shown mixed evidences supporting either the trade-off theory or the pecking order theory. Specifically, as the effective tax rate and the firm size increases, debt ratio increases, which is consistent with the trade-off theory. However as the growth opportunity and the profitability increases, debt ratio decreases, which is consistent with the pecking order theory.

The choice of SMEs between standardization and R&D is one of the strategies of building capabilities for achieving competitive advantages under the liabilities of newness and smallness. This paper provides empirical evidence of Korean SMEs choice between standardization and R&D. We hypothesize two possible impacts of standardization intensity on sales performance; a positive linear and a U-shaped relationship. The analysis of data on 821 Korean SMEs from information and technology, and electricity and electronics industries in 2013 shows an U-shaped relationship between relative standardization intensity over R&D and sales performance.

Purpose - The IT convergence industry, which is the subject of this study, is the main strategy field during the 4th industrial revolution era. Against this background, it is urgent to establish policy measures to survive and spread export products in the global industries. Research, design, data and methodology - In order to achieve this goal, we conducted the Importance - Performance Analysis (IPA) and found that it is necessary to develop tailor - made marketing support for small and medium sized IT exporters and to develop export strategy products with competitive technologies. Results - Above all, customized marketing support for IT export-related SMEs was needed. Next, in the first quadrant, strategic products, qualitative level, global, value added, and information systems were included, and it was found that 'development of export strategic products with competitive technologies' was necessary. In the third quadrant, related variables calculated at present time are not urgent variables. Conclusions - In this study, it would be necessary to calculate the additional implications of the variables that are not considered in this study, including future studies, because the methods considered here as analysis variables are carried out in comparison with the previous studies.

Recognizing the significance of inter-firm cooperation for firm's sustainable competitive advantage in today's business environment, this study investigates the effects of inter-firm cooperation and knowledge sharing on firm competitiveness based on 327 Korean small and medium sized enterprises. We also examines a mediating effects of knowledge sharing on the relationship between inter-firm cooperation and firm competitiveness and moderating effects of environmental factors on this relationship. The environmental factors are conceptualized by intensity of market competition and technological change. The main findings of the study are as follows: First, the paper found that inter-firm cooperation was positively associated with firm competitiveness while there was also a positive relationship between knowledge sharing and firm competitiveness. Second, it also shows that knowledge sharing partially mediated the relationship of inter-firm cooperation and firm competitiveness. Third, we also found that technological change had negative moderating effects on the relationship between inter-firm cooperation and firm competitiveness. This study suggests that understanding of inter-firm cooperation with consideration of environmental characteristics are required for better firm competitiveness.

In order to make high quality software and high reliability software, systematic development management and organizational support are essential needed. Since 1990's Software process models such as ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI have been used to improve organization capability. But these models have problems that are used to apply on large scaled organization or large project and so many practices are actually required. We present characteristics of ISO/IEC 15504, CMMI and K-model can easily apply to small and medium sized business or project, and propose the standard quality metric and accreditate procedure based on K-model for measuring quantitative quality level.

Due to a rapid change of business environment, many firms are eager to find the competitiveness by information technology adoption and diffusion. In this exploratory study, we examined the applicability of a previously proposed model to evaluate IT competitiveness based on the innovativeness and verified it's propriety with empirical data. As suggested by previous studies, the proposed model considers a variety of corporate and market characteristics concerned with IT adoption, and it consists of several internal and external impacting factors, which have influence on technology diffusion and its performance. For the empirical analysis, the survey data of domestic ERP adoption cases were adopted from 128 small and medium-sized enterprises(: SMEs) in IT and electrical engineering industry, and analyzed by partial least squares(: PLS) - a popular structural modeling and multivariate projection technique to latent variables. The results indicated positive supports for the research model of external and internal IT adoption factors' influences on innovativeness' performances. However, there are a couple of limitations not to show the reliability of selected measurement items and the generality of model proposed in this exploratory study.
