Arterial pulse palpation is an important diagnostic method in Oriental Medicine, particularly for obtaining information about a patient's health conditions or illness, or for confirming a diagnostic conclusion based on the patient's pulsation. The pulse analyzer is both a leading Oriental Medical equipment and a promising tool with such a strong industrial ripple effect that it was selected as one of the four strategic tools for world Oriental Medical instrument market domination at a recent survey. Although various pulse analyzers had been developed, however, most of these were not widely used for clinical diagnosis, due perhaps to lack of the appliance's reliability caused by its inability to reflect the requirements of the clinicians. Thus, in this thesis, the clinical requirements for the pulse analyzer were identified and analyzed by conducting a questionnaire survey among Oriental Medicine clinicians. By looking into the basic functions of a pulse analyzer, the required measurement time, and the medical insurance fee required were determined and among others, the appliance's specific requirements were determined. Moreover, by investigating on the latest patent trend, the technical elements that are needed for the development of a next-generation pulse analyzer were identified. Through these processes, the flow of the technology that must be developed for the pulse analyzer was determined, and the direction for the development of the specific pulse analyzer hardware, sensor, and diagnostic algorithm was identified and proposed.

There has been a recent increase in the interest towards founding companies and in line with the South Korean Government's policy on start-up support, discussions are rife about the effect of entrepreneurship on the management and performances of these companies. To enhance the competitiveness of SMEs, it is expedient to acquire and deploy consistent entrepreneurship, differentiate corporate resources, ensure the appropriate utilization of resources and the integration of such factors in response to the changing environment. This research examines relationships among entrepreneurship, three components of corporate capabilities, dynamic capability and technical performance based on resource-based view and the dynamic capability theory. The authors also investigate the moderating role of corporate life cycle. To test the hypothesis, we conducted a survey on 352 technologies -innovative SMEs located in South Korea via professional research institutes. The findings confirm the hypothesis that SMEs' entrepreneurship has a positive effect on three kinds of corporate capabilities (e.g., marketing, R&D, operations capability), and it had a positive effect on dynamic capability, whiles dynamic capability also had an influence on technical performances. The findings also confirmed the hypothesis that corporate life cycle moderates the relationship between dynamic capability and technical performances respectively. The research implications for both practitioners and academicians are discussed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the management efficiency of oak mushroom farms in Korea using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is one of the non-parametric estimation methods. The data that was analyzed in this study was from the result of 2013 survey entitled "Standard Diagnostic Table for Oak Mushroom Management", which was conducted from March 2012 to October 2012. This survey was based on the inputs and outputs of 20 oak mushroom farms. Specifically, this study analyzed the technical efficiency, pure-technical efficiency and scale efficiency using CCR and BCC model of the DEA methods. Furthermore, this study compares the management efficiency between the full time oak mushroom production farms and part time oak mushroom production farms. Results showed that mean value for the technical efficiency was 0.655 which is considered as inefficient in general. For the pure-technical efficiency and scale efficiency, the mean values were 0.830 and 0.747, respectively which showed that inefficiency in the management was observed in the mushroom farms. Results also showed that there were seven farms with a total efficiency of 1, namely Decision Making Unit(DMU)2, DMU5, DMU6, DMU8, DMU10, DMU15 and DMU20. The management efficiency of DMU7 specifically the inputs for production was analyzed and compared to DMU5 and DMU6 and results showed that the DMU7 had an excessive inoculation and site development cost. Lastly, it was also observed that the full time mushroom production farms were more efficient as compared to the part time mushroom farms because of the lower scale efficiency value or smaller area for mushroom production allotted in the part time farms.
