  • Knowledge recipes are packages of knowledge which arise from the process of combining the knowledge assets in the organization in distinctive ways. This involves converting them into useful outputs which are the ideal core competitive advantage enablers for companies. The major objective of this study was to propose a knowledge recipe for financial-sector state corporations in Kenya. The study adopted a convergent parallel mixed methods research design. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using questionnaires and key informant interviews. The target population of the study was 1574 respondents drawn from all financial state corporations. A multistage sampling technique was used for the study. The first phase involved purposive sampling of the organizations to be studied whereby the four state corporations namely: Capital Markets Authority, Competition Authority of Kenya, Kenya Investment Authority, and Kenya Revenue Authority were identified. The second phase entailed stratified sampling of the respondents in three strata namely senior management team, knowledge management team, and general staff. The authors used a census of all senior management team and knowledge management staff while a simple random sampling technique was used for the general staff. By use of the Krejcie and Morgan table, the actual sample size was 358 respondents from all the four organizations. Data were collected using questionnaires and interview schedules. The qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis while the quantitative data were analyzed by the use of Ms. Excel and VOSviewer and presented using pie charts, bar graphs, and tables. The response rate for this study was 257 (72%). The study revealed that while most employees in the financial sector organizations understand their knowledge needs, knowledge types, knowledge uses and knowledge gaps, they do not have a universal knowledge recipe to facilitate effective knowledge management in their organizations. Consequently, the authors propose a universal knowledge recipe for the state corporations in the financial sector in Kenya. The ingredients of the recipe are legal-knowledge (18%), financial knowledge (15%), administrative knowledge (11%), best practice (10%), lessons learnt (8%), human resource knowledge (8%), research and statistics knowledge (7%), product knowledge (6%), policy and procedure knowledge (5%), ICT knowledge (4%), investor knowledge (3%), markets knowledge (2%), general knowledge (2%) and regulatory framework knowledge (1%).

  • 지식경영(Knowledge Management)은 기업의 규모나 업종마다 차이는 있으나 그 중요성이 점차 인식됨에 따라 실제 도입하는 기업의 수가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히 정부가 주요시책으로 '지식정보화 강국'을 표방하면서 민간기업은 물론 공기업을 포함한 각종 정부부처에서도 지식경영체제를 도입하고 있다. 그러나, 공기업은 지식경영의 성공을 위해 가장 중요한 조직문화가 일반기업과는 상이하게 다르기 때문에 공기업의 지식경영은 일반 민간기업의 그것과는 상당히 다름에도 불구하고 이에 대한 실무적 학문적 연구는 매우 부족한 형편이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내의 대표적인 공기업 중의 하나인 한국자산 관리공사의 지식경영 도입 사례를 분석 연구하여 공공기관에서의 지식경영 추진배경과 도입과정 그리고 기대효과 등에 대하여 자세히 소개하고자 한다. 본 연구는 향후 지식경영을 도입하고자 하는 공공기관에서 지식경영 도입에 대한 의미있는 벤치마킹 자료가 될 것으로 판단한다.

  • 본 논문은 보험료를 중심으로 하는 의료보험 재정방식의 문제점을 파악하고 그 대안으로서 조세를 통한 국고보조의 가능성을 검토하기 위해 작성되었다. 이 목적을 달성하기 위해 의료보험재정과 관련된 근로관계, 소득재분배효과, 기업의 부담, 위험분산 그리고 의료보험의 관리운영권이라는 5가지 관점에서 살펴보았다. 그 결과 보험료 재정방식은 여러 문제들이 있으며 그것들이 조세를 통한 국고보조로 해결될 수 있을 것으로 파악되었다. 이 결과를 기초로 보험료 중심의 의료보험재정을 조세방식으로 전면적으로 전환하자고 주장하는 것은 무리가 있다. 그러한 정책의 시행에 영향을 미치는 다른 변수들을 고려해야 하기 때문이다. 그러나 본 논문은 국가의 재정적 책임의 점진적 확대 또는 유지와 관련된 논의를 좀더 체계적으로 전개하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

  • In this study, we first measured the malmquist productivity index by DEA among the Korean public firms. Second, there are 12 public corporations whose productivity (MPI) has decreased compared to 2014. This is mainly because of a decrease in productivity, as well as a decrease in the technical efficiency change index (TECI), impacted by the internal environment, and the increase in productivity because of an increase in the technology change index (TCI) impacted by the external environment. Finally, the analysis of the impact on the management assessment scores showed that the productivity (MPI), scale efficiency (CRS), size of sales, operating profitability, and total capital investment efficiency are significantly related (+), except for the asset turnover, which is a static financial ratio. Meanwhile, the management evaluation scores between the high-productivity public corporations and low-performing public corporations were significantly discriminating. Thus, it is confirmed that the nation's state-run companies must manage their MPIs in a time series to score high in management evaluation.

  • The economic renovation in Vietnam has shown promising achievements. The process of reforming and equitizing state-owned enterprises, and reducing subsidies from the government have made significant progress since 1986. However, this policy has not received the adequate valuation from leaders. Big companies have not been equitized, and are still managed and subsidized by the government, resulted in budget losses. Corporations have been dominated by political interests. This has led to arguments for better and more feasible measures which could save national budget. Corruption in Vietnam mostly originates from state-owned enterprises, for the monopoly was given by government to those enterprises as foreign partners continue to compete under market-oriented mechanism and transparent supervision. Therefore, renovation of the business mechanism, as well as speeding up equitization and minimizing people's properties, have become crucial in the regional integration trend. This is entirely a vital factor in the renovation process. This study explores plans, as well as the merits of the renovation process in Vietnam, ultimately envisioning to overcome current consequences and motivate Vietnam's economy.

  • Since the beginning of 2015, corporate social responsibility (CSR) models have been changing in connection with the trend towards the transition of joint value creation of corporate activities and consideration of stakeholders' interests. The purpose of the academic paper lies in empirically studying the current practice of social responsibility of transnational corporations (TNCs). The research methodology has combined the method of qualitative analysis, the method of cases of agricultural holdings in emerging markets within the framework of resource theory, institutional theory and stakeholders' theory. The results show that the practice of CSR is integrated into the strategy of sustainable development of TNCs, which determine the methods, techniques and forms of communication, as well as areas of stakeholders' responsibility. The internal practice of CSR is aimed at developing norms and standards of moral behaviour with stakeholders in order to maximize economic and social goals. Economic goals are focused not only on making a profit, but also on minimizing costs due to the potential risks of corruption, fraud, conflict of interest. The system of corporate social responsibility of modern TNCs is clearly regulated by internal documents that define the list of interested parties and stakeholders, their areas of responsibility, greatly simplifying the processes of cooperation and responsibility. As a result, corporations form their own internal institutional environment. Ethical norms help to avoid the risks of opportunistic behaviour of personnel, conflicts of interest, cases of bribery, corruption, and fraud. The theoretical value of the research lies in supplementing the theory of CSR in the context of the importance of a complex, systematic approach to integrating the theory of resources, institutional theory, theory of stakeholders in the development of strategies for sustainable development of TNCs, the practice of corporate governance and social responsibility.

  • Purpose - The aim of this paper is to examine the newly formed a partnership of Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway (Berkshire) and JPMorgan through the lens of strategic alliance, corporate philanthropy, and corporate social responsibility. Research design, data, and methodology - This is an analytical case study that examines the existing scholarly articles in strategic alliances, corporate philanthropy, and corporate social responsibility to explain the recent strategic alliance. Results - There is a clear limitation in explaining this type of unconventional strategic alliance with exiting definitions and concepts because there is no existing study or case available today. Forming a strategic business alliance to create and operate healthcare for their domestic employees could be viewed as a social innovation that resulted from an effort to resolve a social problem, the ineffective healthcare system in the U.S., rather than focusing on business benefits and profits. Conclusions - The success or failure of this type of business alliance would certainly affect the current healthcare system of the United States and global businesses and healthcare industries in the future. However, just entering or tapping into uncharted territory by these three companies to deal with a social issue is significant enough to merit further exploration and analysis for scholars and practitioners.

  • 국립대병원은 국가가 설립주체이고 엄연한 공공의료기관임에도 불구하고, 국가가 직접 운영하던 방식에서 특수법인 형태의 독립채산제로 전환되면서 사립대병원과 차이가 없이 수익성에 치중하여 운영되고 있는 실정이다. 국립대병원이 설립법에 명기된 교육, 연구, 진료 외에도 지역내에서 선도병원으로서의 3차진료기관에 합당한 공공성의 책무를 다하여야 한다고 본다. 따라서, 현재 수익성에 치중하고 있는 국립대병원에 어떠한 공공성 기능을 부여하여야 할것이가. 그리고, 지역사회내에서 다른 공공의료기관과는 어떻게 역할분담을 하여야 할것인가. 또한 국립대병원내에서 공공성과 수익성의 조화로운 강화방안은 어떻게 하여야 하는지를 다각도로 분석하여 상관관계를 살펴보고 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Packing house is the regional center in which packing, sorting, storage, and selling of harvested fruits are taken care of all together. It is located at the producing centers, and commercializes their apples. Apple grading policies of chief producing centers should concentrate on enhancing functions and roles of its local packing house. Consequently new packing house policies for enacting individual grading standards at national and local levels should be developed. This study is to develop Korea packing house on the basis of field survey in New York State. Increasing the utilization of packing house is the main key to the success of apple grading project. Therefore, effective arrangement and utilization of sorting facilities should be evaluated and new system which enables apple farms, local cooperatives, and corporations to joint-utilize packing house must to be established.
