Purpose: Manufacturers rely on interfirm governance mechanisms to reduce the risks inherent in uncertain environments; however, it is unclear which governance mechanisms are developed to manage relationships with suppliers. This study sought to enhance knowledge of how environmental uncertainty affects interfirm governance mechanisms under conditions reflecting varying levels of structural holes. To this end, the study investigated the relationships between manufacturers and major first-tier and sub-suppliers. In particular, the moderating effect of structural holes is examined. Research design, data and methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted with a major first-tier supplier of a Korean engineering firm. Proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Results: The results show that while the relationship between environmental uncertainty and unilateral governance is positive but statistically insignificant, with bilateral governance is negative and statistically significant. The study also demonstrates that when structural holes are considered, the effects between environmental uncertainty and governance mechanisms are attenuated. Conclusions: This study suggests some theoretical and managerial contributions between exchange partners, especially, the results suggest that structural holes have a critical competitive advantage in uncertain environments. Therefore, manufacturers should carefully consider how they deal with environmental uncertainty when they make a business decision under structural holes situations.

Purpose - Manufacturers in uncertain environments need to depend on governance mechanisms to reduce the inherent risk in these environments. However, few studies have examined which governance mechanisms a given manufacturers will develop in uncertain environments for managing the relationships with its vertical partner. This study explores how different governance mechanisms function under uncertain environmental circumstances. We also try to investigate the contextual effect of interfirm benevolence as moderator. Research design, data, and methodology - This research provide the conceptual framework of interfirm benevolence on which this research's propositions are predicted. The theoretical background for environmental uncertainty, governance mechanisms and interfirm benevolence will be discussed. Results - The expected results are as follows. Manufacturers in an uncertain environments rely on different governance mechanisms under conditions of high and low interfirm benevolence. In terms of role of interfirm benevolence, interfirm benevolence provides a better understanding of how governance mechanisms can develop in an uncertain supply markets. Conclusions - This research suggests several theoretical and practical implications between channel partners, particularly, this research offers that interfirm benevolence is a crucial competitive factor under environmental uncertainty situation. In future studies, it is necessary to investigate the effect of each governance mechanism structure on performance in an uncertain environment and various level of interfirm benevolence.

1990년대 이후 새로운 국정운영에 대한 대안으로 도입된 거버넌스 개념은 정보통신기술의 발달과 더불어 e-거버넌스(electronic governance)라는 개념으로 새롭게 등장하게 되었다. 일반적으로 e-거버넌스란 정부 주도의 일방적인 문제해결 및 정책결정 행태에서 벗어나 정보통신기술을 활용하여 정부-시장-시민사회 등 다양한 행위자들이 공동의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 상호 협력적 네트워크를 통해 협력 조정하는 국정운영 방식을 의미한다. 이 연구는 최근 15년간 우리나라의 행정 및 정책분야에서 진행된 e-거버넌스 연구의 내용 및 방법 등을 체계적으로 분석하여 e-거버넌스의 전반적인 연구경향을 체계적으로 살펴볼 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구의 접근관점 및 연구영역 측면에서 볼 때, 전자정부 및 정보화 정책 등의 행정영역과 ICT 정책 및 사업 등의 정보통신 영역의 연구가 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 목적의 경우, 국내의 e-거버넌스 연구는 문제에 대한 정책대안을 제시하려는 문제지향성을 띠고 있으나, 이론검증을 통한 문제해결방안 제시 연구나 현상 내지 사건의 인과관계 모형 검증을 통한 설명적 연구 등이 상대적으로 매우 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구경향 분석결과를 통해 향후 e-거버넌스의 이론적 체계 확립을 위한 중요한 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper many discussions are raised regarding the outside director system in order to establish the position of the outside director within institutional organizations and to review ways to activate the outside director system in for-Profit Hospital. it seems to be more desirable in Korea for each company to establish an efficient system by itself in accordance with suggested guidelines suitable for each for-Profit Hospital management circumstances rather than to apply a unilateral outside director system to for-Profit Hospital through legalization. In this regard, while keeping the current outside director system for the time being, it is necessary to review and improve the management status of companies and the usefulness of the system, and various recommendations from lawyer associations, Hospital business associations, and academia should be allowed rather than just for-Profit Hospital recommendation by the government.
