Technological adaption and innovative activities foster small and medium enterprises (SMEs) growth, especially women-owned SMEs in Pakistan, However, the impact of technological adaption and innovative activities on SMEs growth in the context of Pakistan has been examined by very researchers. This study aims to identify the effect of technology and open innovation policies on the growth of women-owned SMEs and the present trends and management challenges for successful full implementation of open innovation. The study considered a sample of 693 women enterprises located in different cities in Pakistan. Open innovation is measured through eight innovative practices, reflecting the exploration and exploitation of technology in SMEs. Study findings revealed that women enterprises were involved in several open innovation policies during the last five years. Moreover, the study indicated no significant differences between manufacturing and service SMEs regarding open innovation practices; however, women enterprises are more impressively engaged in open innovation practices. Findings also reveal that women-owned SMEs follow open innovation, mainly for market-related intentions, to compete with competitors and meet customers' demands. Thus, it is suggested that government policy relating to thriving SMEs owned by women should be innovation-oriented. The study contributes to the theoretical and practical implications. Further, the study is helpful for SMEs, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers.

The process of correcting, upgrading, and improving software products after they have been handed over to the consumer is known as software maintenance. Offshore software maintenance outsourcing (OSMO) clients benefit from cost savings, time savings, and improved quality software through OSMO. In most circumstances, the OSMO vendor makes a lot of money but not in all the cases. Especially, when the OSMO project offer is not properly assessed. An efficient outsourcing contract might yield successful outcomes for outsourced projects. But before sending a detailed proposal to bid on the OSMO project the vendor must have to assess the client's project (business offer) requirements. The purpose of this study is to find out common trends within the assessment of a OSMO project. A case study approach along with semi-structured interviews from eight companies concluded ten common practices and several roles. Among these practices, four (code structure, requirements, communication barriers and required infrastructure) were consistent amongst the responses .The findings, limitations and future work are discussed.

In respond to the demand of an open, fair, transparent, and efficient environment for procurement, many governments have incorporated the use of internet in their procurement systems with online procurement (e-procurement). Given the different policies and laws which have to be complied with, the practice of government e-procurement system varies from one country to another. Thus, experiences in running e-procurement will vary as well. The achievements and obstacles of one country's experience will be a constructive reference for other countries in establishing e-procurement system. In this regard, government e-procurement system practices in two Southeast Asia countries i.e., Thailand and Indonesia particularly in public works are consecutively presented and finally compared in this paper. The government of Thailand has applied Online Auctions (e-Auctions) as the national procurement practice since 2005 and performed the e-Auctions in two types: Reverse Auction and Sealed Bid Auction. Contrary to the common practice of e-procurement, the Thai government, with some rationales, runs the bid documents obtaining manually as well as qualification and technical documents submission and holding the e-Auctions at bidding office. Whereas Indonesian government runs Online Sealed Bid Bidding (e-Procurement) and most of the bidding stages are performed electronically except bid evaluation for both technical and financial. The advantages and drawbacks of these two e-procurement practices are discussed as well as improvements that have to be made for successful of e-procurement.

Organizational climate and organization culture can be some of the leading factors in hindering knowledge sharing within the organization. It is generally accepted that successful knowledge management practice, including knowledge sharing, comes as a result of a conducive and knowledge sharing friendly environment. Organizations that promote and reward collective work generate a trustful and a more collaborative learning culture. The perception of fairness in an organization has been considered an important indicator of employee behavior, attitude, and motivation. This study investigates organizational justice perception and its impact on knowledge sharing practices among forensic experts in the Turkish National Police. The study findings revealed that senior officers, who are experts in the field, have the strongest organizational justice perception. Meanwhile, noncommissioned officers or technicians bear positive but comparatively weaker feelings about the existence of justice within the organization. The study argues that those who satisfy their career expectations tend to have a higher organizational justice perception.

Organizations worldwide make efforts to develop their management systems for business functions. The representatives of management systems include quality management system(QMS), environmental manage ment system(EMS) and occupational health and safety management system(OHSMS). Implementing EMS and/or OHSMS in addition to QMS requires the integration of separate management systems in alignment with the organization's strategies and goals. Through the questionnaire survey on Korean marine equipment enterprises, this paper deals with the operational practices of management systems and analyzes perceptions about integrated management system(IMS). We found out the degree of perception is not sufficient enough to prepare background for IMS in Korean marine equipment enterprises. The results contribute to solid understanding and successful implementation of IMS.

The successful implementation of green supply chain management(GSCM) practices requires a level of cooperation that can be difficult to conduct. Despite this challenge, limited scholarly attention has been paid to exploring how the implementation of GSCM practices can be effectively facilitated and enhanced through accumulated social capital with suppliers. Based on social capital theory, this study postulates that supplier network characteristics derived from social capital with key suppliers can be critical antecedents of GSCM, which in turn enhances the firm's environmental performance. To test hypotheses, data were collected from 330 firms in 15 countries, and structural equation modeling was employed. Results show that GSCM improves environmental performance, and structural and cognitive social capitals of the supplier network act as antecedents and lead to GSCM implementation.

소프트웨어 개발방법론의 선택은 항상 고민거리가 되어왔다. 극한 프로그래밍(XP) 방법론 도입의 문제점을 소프트웨어 개발 현장에서도 찾아보는 노력이 필요한 시점이다. 본 논문에서는 점점 대중화되고 있는 XP 방법론의 도입 현황을 살펴본 후, XP의 구성요소인 "가치"와 "실천"이 개발자들에게 어떻게 받아들여지고 있는지를 유용성과 이용용이성을 기준으로 조사하였다. 연구 결과 XP는 소프트웨어 개발과정의 품질과 적기를 개선시키는데 매우 성공적이라고 받아들여지고 있었다. 또한, XP의 애자일 철학과 적용의 기반이 되는"가치"와 "실천"은 성취하기가 비교적 수월했지만, 이중에서 기술에는 거의 종속되지 않은 의사소통 피드백, 공동 소유권, 짝 프로그래밍, 단순설계, 고객 참여와 같은 요소는 성취하기 어렵다고 파악되었다. 창의적이고 노동 집약적인 소프트웨어 개발현장에서 XP가 더욱 잘 수용되기 위해서는, 본 연구결과가 시사하는 바와 같이 관리자나 교육자들이 기술적 요소 외에도 인간적인 특성에 기반한 가치와 실천의 활용에 보다 많은 노력을 해야 한다.

우리나라의 입${\cdot}$낙찰제도는 1995년 7월에 적격심사제도를 도입하기 전까지 최저가 낙찰제를 근간으로 삼아왔으며, 평균가 낙찰제나 제한적 최저가낙찰제가 보완적으로 시행되어 왔다. 하지만 최저가 낙찰제도에 의해 공사비의 직접비 수준에도 미치지 못하는 저가투찰(덤핑)이 일반화되고 부실공사에 대한 우려가 높아지면서 평균가 낙찰제나 제한적 최저가 방식이 도입되었다. 그러나 평균가낙찰제나 제한적 최저가낙찰제가 건설업체의 기술개발 노력이나 원가절감 노력을 촉진시키지 못하는 문제점이 부각됨에 따라 또다시 경쟁원리를 내세워 최저가 낙찰제로 회귀하는 악순환이 지난 50년간 반복되고 있다. 따라서 사회 ${\cdot}$ 경제적으로 급변하는 건설 환경에 대처하고 건설 산업의 구조개편에 적극 대응하여 국내 건설엔지니어링의 경쟁력을 재고하고, Global Standard와 우리나라의 실정을 모두 충족시킬 수 있는 개선방향을 해외 사례 분석을 통해 제시하고자 한다.
