최근 기업 경영에 있어 정보기술의 도입 및 전략적인 활용은 선택이 아닌 필수로 자리잡고 있다. 기업의 전략적인 목표와 정보기술 간의 상호 의존은 기업의 생존 및 성장에 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 이에 따라 이미 많은 기업이 지속적으로 정보기술에 투자하고 있다. 정보기술 투자 성과 관련해서는 기업 내부의 요인들과 전략들, 기업외부의 고객까지 여러 가지 복합적인 요소들이 서로 상호작용하고 있기 때문에, 각 요인들을 독립적으로 분리하여 정보기술 투자 성과에 미치는 영향력을 분석하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 연구들을 바탕으로 정보기술 투자성과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 변수들을 도출하여, 각 변수들의 관계를 수리적인 모델링을 통해 단순화시키고, 시뮬레이션 방법론을 이용하여 각 변수들의 변화에 정보기술 투자 성과는 어떻게 달라지는지를 밝혔다. 본 연구의 결과는 정보기술 투자는 서비스의 품질을 증가시켜 경제학적인 성과들에 간접적으로 영향을 주고, 정보기술 투자와 동시에 소비자 잉여는 증가되지만, 큰 투자비용으로 회사의 이익은 감소하게 된다. 그리고 시간이 지남에 따라 품질 증가에 관한 정보가 고객들 사이에 퍼져 나가게 되므로 최종적으로 기업의 수익을 증가시켜준다. 또한, 정보기술 투자 성과 극대화를 위해서는 회사가 제공하는 서비스와 소비자들의 네트워크 효과 등이 고려되어 정보기술 투자 여부를 결정하고, 회사에 맞는 정보기술 투자 전략을 세워야 함을 시뮬레이션 모형을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 구체적으로, 한 번에 많은 투자를 할 경우는 단기적인 성과는 클 것으로 기대되나, 장기적으로 좋은 성과가 이뤄지지 않는다. 그러나 정보의 확산 속도가 빠르거나 정보의 장벽이 될 수 있는 정보를 받지 못하는 소비자가 적을 경우 단기에 집중 투자 하는 것이 많은 수요를 얻을 수 있다. 또, 여러 번에 걸쳐 투자하는 경우는 적당한 주기를 가지게 될 경우 장기적으로 큰 성과를 낼 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 경제학 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 결합시켜, 각각의 한계를 모두 극복할 수 있는 방법론을 활용했다는 측면과, 정보기술 투자의 성과를 제품 품질의 매개 효과 모형에 적용하여 정보기술 투자와 기업 성과간의 관계를 보여주었다는 측면, 마지막으로 정보기술 투자 전략 및 정보의 확산 효과를 반영하여 정보기술 투자의 성과를 확인할 수 있다는 측면에서 의의가 있다.

Internet computing is a disruptive IT innovation. Semantic Web can be considered as an IT innovation because the Semantic Web technology possesses the potential to reduce information overload and enable semantic integration, using capabilities such as semantics and machine-processability. How should organizations adopt the Semantic Web? What factors affect the adoption and diffusion of Semantic Web innovation? Most studies on adoption and diffusion of innovation use empirical analysis as a quantitative research methodology in the post-implementation stage. There is criticism that the positivist requiring theoretical rigor can sacrifice relevance to practice. Rapid advances in technology require studies relevant to practice. In particular, it is realistically impossible to conduct quantitative approach for factors affecting adoption of the Semantic Web because the Semantic Web is in its infancy. However, in an early stage of introduction of the Semantic Web, it is necessary to give a model and some guidelines and for adoption and diffusion of the technology innovation to practitioners and researchers. Thus, the purpose of this study is to present a model of adoption and diffusion of the Semantic Web and to offer propositions as guidelines for successful adoption through a qualitative research method including multiple case studies and in-depth interviews. The researcher conducted interviews with 15 people based on face-to face and 2 interviews by telephone and e-mail to collect data to saturate the categories. Nine interviews including 2 telephone interviews were from nine user organizations adopting the technology innovation and the others were from three supply organizations. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The interviews were recorded on digital voice recorder memory and subsequently transcribed verbatim. 196 pages of transcripts were obtained from about 12 hours interviews. Triangulation of evidence was achieved by examining each organization website and various documents, such as brochures and white papers. The researcher read the transcripts several times and underlined core words, phrases, or sentences. Then, data analysis used the procedure of open coding, in which the researcher forms initial categories of information about the phenomenon being studied by segmenting information. QSR NVivo version 8.0 was used to categorize sentences including similar concepts. 47 categories derived from interview data were grouped into 21 categories from which six factors were named. Five factors affecting adoption of the Semantic Web were identified. The first factor is demand pull including requirements for improving search and integration services of the existing systems and for creating new services. Second, environmental conduciveness, reference models, uncertainty, technology maturity, potential business value, government sponsorship programs, promising prospects for technology demand, complexity and trialability affect the adoption of the Semantic Web from the perspective of technology push. Third, absorptive capacity is an important role of the adoption. Fourth, suppler's competence includes communication with and training for users, and absorptive capacity of supply organization. Fifth, over-expectance which results in the gap between user's expectation level and perceived benefits has a negative impact on the adoption of the Semantic Web. Finally, the factor including critical mass of ontology, budget. visible effects is identified as a determinant affecting routinization and infusion. The researcher suggested a model of adoption and diffusion of the Semantic Web, representing relationships between six factors and adoption/diffusion as dependent variables. Six propositions are derived from the adoption/diffusion model to offer some guidelines to practitioners and a research model to further studies. Proposition 1 : Demand pull has an influence on the adoption of the Semantic Web. Proposition 1-1 : The stronger the degree of requirements for improving existing services, the more successfully the Semantic Web is adopted. Proposition 1-2 : The stronger the degree of requirements for new services, the more successfully the Semantic Web is adopted. Proposition 2 : Technology push has an influence on the adoption of the Semantic Web. Proposition 2-1 : From the perceptive of user organizations, the technology push forces such as environmental conduciveness, reference models, potential business value, and government sponsorship programs have a positive impact on the adoption of the Semantic Web while uncertainty and lower technology maturity have a negative impact on its adoption. Proposition 2-2 : From the perceptive of suppliers, the technology push forces such as environmental conduciveness, reference models, potential business value, government sponsorship programs, and promising prospects for technology demand have a positive impact on the adoption of the Semantic Web while uncertainty, lower technology maturity, complexity and lower trialability have a negative impact on its adoption. Proposition 3 : The absorptive capacities such as organizational formal support systems, officer's or manager's competency analyzing technology characteristics, their passion or willingness, and top management support are positively associated with successful adoption of the Semantic Web innovation from the perceptive of user organizations. Proposition 4 : Supplier's competence has a positive impact on the absorptive capacities of user organizations and technology push forces. Proposition 5 : The greater the gap of expectation between users and suppliers, the later the Semantic Web is adopted. Proposition 6 : The post-adoption activities such as budget allocation, reaching critical mass, and sharing ontology to offer sustainable services are positively associated with successful routinization and infusion of the Semantic Web innovation from the perceptive of user organizations.

이 연구에서는 조선총독부 공문서와 같이 불균형 잔존하는 행정기록의 평가 방법과 절차를 개발하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 기존의 평가이론을 재구성하였다. 쉘렌버그 등의 평가론은 기록에 내재하는 가치를 평가하는 데 초점이 맞추어져 있었는데 반해 기능평가론 등에서는 기록 그 자체보다는 기록을 발생시킨 업무 행위를 평가하는 데에 주목하였다. 하지만 기록이 업무행위의 재현물이라는 점에서 볼 때 이 양자는 철학적으로 같은 것이며, 따라서 그 방법과 절차를 제대로 설계한다면 양자를 절충하여 사용하는 것이 가능하다. 또한 상대 평가의 방식이 거시적, 균형적 측면에서의 강점을 지닌다면 절대평가의 방식은 미시적 측면에서의 강점을 지니므로 이 역시 양자의 절충적 방법론을 구사하는 것이 가능하다. 이와 같이 기존의 평가이론들은 구체적인 평가 방법론의 개발이라는 측면에서는 상황과 대상의 특성에 따라 얼마든지 여러 형태로 조합할 수 있는 상호보완적 성격의 것들이라고 판단된다. 특히 이 글에서 다루고 있는 불균형 잔존 행정기록의 경우에는 어느 이론 하나를 취하여 방법과 절차를 세우는 것보다 이론에서 제시된 유용한 방법과 절차들을 적절하게 조합하는 일이 긴요하다. 조선총독부의 공문서를 평가하기 위해서는 먼저 처무규정류를 분석하여 총독부의 조직, 기능을 파악하고, 역사 해석적 방법을 동원하여 이들에 대한 거시적 가치 평가를 해야한다. 이를 토대로 하여 기능, 세부기능의 가치 서열을 고려한 조직기능 맵을 구성하여 이에 해당 기록을 매핑한다. 그런 다음 기록관리기관의 내적 환경등을 고려하여 평가 전략을 수립하고, 이를 토대로 다량 잔존 기록에 대해서는 상대 평가에 의한 미시평가를, 소량 잔존기록에 대해서는 오럴 자료의 생산 등 다른 수단을 제공하는 일 등을 수행한다. 이 연구는 기능분석, 역사해석적 작업, 기록의 상태평가 방법, 기준, 조선총독부 관보 및 기타 자료의 분석법 및 절차, 평가 아웃풋 이미지의 제시 등의 측면까지는 아직 이르지 못했다. 그런 의미에서 아직은 제언에 불과하고 앞으로의 연구 진척을 통해 부족한 부분 메워가야 할 것이다.

Purpose - According to agency theory, managers have incentives to adjust firm revenues to meet earnings expectations or delay bad news disclosure because of performance-based compensation and their reputation in the market. When the bad news accumulates, stock prices fail to reflect all available information. Thus, market prices of stocks are higher than their intrinsic value. After all, bad news crosses the tipping point, it comes out all at once. That results in stock crashes. Auditors can decrease stock crash risk by reducing agency costs through their informational role. Especially, stock price crash risk is expected to be lower for firms adopting high-quality audits. We focus on distribution and service industry to examine the relation between audit quality and stock price crash risk. Industry specialization and auditor size are used as proxies for auditor quality. Research design, data and methodology - Our sample contains distribution and service industry firms listed in KOSPI and KOSDAQ during a period of 2004-2011. We use a logistic regression to test whether auditor quality influences crash risk. Auditor quality was measured by industry specialist auditor and Big4 / non-Big4 dichotomy. Following the approach in prior researches, we use firm-specific weekly returns to measure crash risk. Firms experiencing at least one stock price crash in a specific week during year are classified as the high risk group. Results - The result of analyzing 429 companies in distribution and service industry is summarized as follows: Above all, it is shown that higher audit quality has a significant negative(-) effect on the crash risk. Crash risk is alleviated for firms audited by industry specialist auditors and Big 4 audit firms. Therefore, our results show that hypotheses are supported. Conclusions - This study is very meaningful as the first study which investigated the effects of high audit quality on stock price crash risk. We provide evidence that high-quality auditors reduce stock price crash risk. Our finding implies that the risk of extreme losses can be reduced through screening of high-quality auditors. Therefore investors and regulators may utilize our findings in their investment and rule making decisions.

Purpose - The postponement strategy, which delays the form, place, and production of products as late as possible, has been widely considered as a competitive supply chain management scheme in an era of mass customization and modular manufacturing. An interesting business phenomenon is that not all manufacturing/logistics firms choose the postponement strategy. Given that postponement is a counter-measure to speculation, which has some advantages under certain environments, the current imprudent inclination toward the postponement strategy may cause firms to lose the potential of the speculation strategy, an alternative strategy in supply chain management. Building on the logistics and manufacturing literature, this study examines characteristics of two contrasting strategies, postponement and speculation, and major factors favoring each strategy. Research design, data, and methodology - We apply the profiling approach to two business cases, HP printer and LG mobile phone. The profiling approach is a method of choosing a particular strategy aligned with environmental factors. While various approaches have been used to check the fit between a business strategy and environmental factors, the literature on manufacturing strategy and logistics has commonly adopted the profiling approach. Major factors used in profiling variables are derived from the literature. Two samples, HP printer and LG mobile phone, are selected, because they represent major characteristics appropriate for each strategy. The profiling is based on data from semi-organized interviews with managers. Results - The profiling approach shows that the postponement strategy is a suitable one for HP printers. Most factors, such as product life cycle, large production volume, low-price, product value, and monetary density, support delaying end products until as late as possible. Despite some exceptions, such as delivery time and economy of scale, our analysis states that the overall profile of HP printer is favorable for the postponement strategy. On the other hand, LG mobile phone may adapt the speculation strategy. Although it has large production volume and low delivery frequency, most characteristics support the speculation strategy for this product. An interesting finding is that, despite common perception that advanced technology products such as mobile telephones favor the postponement strategy, profiling proposes the speculation strategy for this product. Conclusions - Our analysis shows that speculation is not the universal option for supply chain management, and that, when choosing a specific strategy, one should consider many factors simultaneously. A major implication of our work is to emphasize the role of environmental factors such as supply chain variables in choosing an inventory strategy, and the importance of fit rather than solely strategic orientation. A theoretical contribution is to demonstrate the benefit of the simultaneous consideration of business variables in choosing specific strategies. For practitioners, our work leads us to consider the existence and the potential of speculation as a counter-measure to postponement. In addition, the comprehensive framework in this research may be instantly used in examining a practical strategy.

Purpose - This study aims to strengthen the economic cooperation between Korea and Japan by studying the pattern of trade between them and identifying drawbacks. Thus, it aims to enable trade expansion by analyzing the factors that affect trade and identifying ways to improve them. If economic cooperation is improved, transport and communication costs, as well as the transaction cost of economic exchanges, can be minimized. Research design, data, methodology - The trade intensity index developed by the Japanese economist Yamazawa under his trade intensity theory was used to analyze the trade decision factor of Korea and Japan. Trade structure and decision factors were analyzed for the target period of 2000 to 2012, and the period ranging from 2000 to 2005 was compared with the period ranging from 2005 to 2012. This paper is an analysis of the resultant time series. The data were collected from Korea Traders Association, Korea Customs Office, and UN Comtrade (2000, 2005, 2012) and whole table indexes were calculated by the author. Trade related index was used to analyze the comparative advantage based on time-series analysis statistics data (2000. 2005, 2012) through an analysis of the trade intensity index (TII), revealed comparative advantage index (RCA), and trade specialization index (TSI). Results - The trade intensity index of the industries of Japan and Korea is 1.814 in 2000. The export ratio of Japan against China was slightly higher at 2.128. TII is indicated to be 1.600 in both 2005 and 2012, which means export ratio of Japan against China is considerably maintained in 2005; however, export ratio of Japan against China is diminishing gradually as its index is 1.600 in 2012. Second, as per the trade specialization index of the ship industry in Japan and China, TSI is indicated to be -0.818 in 2000, -0.308 in 2005, and -0.847 in 2012. Generally, it is still closer to -1 and especially, we can see it is more closer to -1 in 2012. Third, as per the revealed comparative advantage index of the ship industry in Japan and China, the RCA index in 2012 is 0.007, which is quite far from 1 as compared to the value in 2000 and 2005. Hence, the Japanese ship industry has a significant comparative disadvantage against the Chinese ship industry. Conclusions - Both countries invest most of their capital in the shipping industry. It is the shipping industry that receives the most capital investment in the two countries is invested and governmental policy funds are needed. As both countries have large shipping industries, this research project is very valuable. Japan and China are compared because they are Korea's neighbors. Also, Korea is strategically located in Northeast Asia and has a history of foreign intrusion from several countries. Therefore, the purpose of this research study is to understand the trade structures of both countries and intensify the economic cooperation between Japan and China.

Purpose - This study provides evidence of the impact of the mandatory adoption of Korean equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS) on accounting quality. K-IFRS uses fair value as a basis of measurement and is characterized by principle-based standards. These characteristics can lead to a decrease in conservatism. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether or not there is a change in the level of conservatism before and after the enforcement of K-IFRS (2007~2014). By comparing 2007 through 2008 and 2013 through 2014 (excluding 2009 to 2012), we test "the temporary adjustment phenomenon" and document an overall decline in the degree of conservatism after the adoption of K-IFRS. Research design, data, and methodology - Our sample is comprised of data of all listed Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) manufacturing distribution companies in Korea from 2007 to 2014, which yields the pooled sample of 4,412 (panel A) and 1,915 (panel B) firm-year observations for hypotheses 1 and 2. In line with recent literature, we adopt the Givoly and Hayn (2000) model, which recomputes the non-operating accruals, excluding two components that are most likely to capture the effect of restructuring activities: special items and gains or losses from discontinued operations. In addition, we also use these variables: SIZE, LEV, INV_CYCLE, ROA, OWN, and FOR. Results - Our sample period spans 2007 to 2014. This offers evidence on the effect of the mandatory adoption of IFRS on conservatism. Our findings can be summarized as follows. First, in panel A, for mandatory K-IFRS adoption (2011), we do not find any significant evidence of conservatism. We can guess that the "temporary adjustment phenomenon" is the reason that we do not find significant evidence of conservatism. Second, we investigate panel B from 2009 to 2012. We document an overall decline in the degree of conservatism after the adoption of K-IFRS. We can assume that these results are due to "the temporary adjustment phenomenon." Conclusions - This study finds that conservatism significantly decreased after IFRS adoption. In particular, this study makes the initial effort to elucidate "the temporary adjustment phenomenon" to analyze the effect of K-IFRS on conservative accounting. We argue that K-IFRS are conceptually conservative but that inappropriate application of the conservatism principles is likely to prevent financial reporting from reaching the level of conservatism targeted by the IASB. Overall, this paper contributes to the literature on IFRS and can be useful to capital market supervisors who are monitoring the trends of the firms implementing K-IFRS. Additionally, our results inform stakeholders of the potentially negative effect of the greater flexibility permitted by IFRS and/or lack of appropriate enforcement on key dimensions of accounting quality. This has important implications for Korean regulators and standard setters as they review the cost and benefits of IFRS. Our study also sheds light on the importance of the institutional environment in achieving the targeted objectives for improving financial reporting quality.

국내 GCP공법은 많은 선행연구가 진행되었으나, 설계자의 경험에 의해 의존하여 설계되고 있는 실정이므로 파괴사례가 종종 보고되고 있다. 이에 따라 명확한 파괴 원인규명 및 파괴예방대책 수립이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GCP공법의 합리적인 설계법의 제안을 위한 기초단계로써, GCP에 사용되는 최적배합비를 대형직접전단시험을 통해 결정하고, 내부마찰각의 변화에 따른 응력분담비의 변화 및 지반의 수직/수평 침하거동을 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 직접전단 실험결과 쇄석과 모래의 최적배합비는 70:30으로 평가되었다. 수치해석결과 내부마찰각이 증가할수록 응력분담비가 증가하나 일정한 값으로 수렴하고 침하량이 감소하며, 최적배합비로 시공할 경우 측방유동 및 히빙현상의 감소를 유도할 것으로 판단된다.

1970년대 이후 급격한 경제성장과 함께 교통SOC 투자 또한 지속적으로 이루어졌으나, 최근 중복 및 과투자 논란에 따른 합리적 투자규모 산정에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 적정 투자규모 산정관련 국내 외 다양한 연구를 검토하고, 국제비교, 국내 SOC 투자재원규모, 내생적 경제성장모형 등 3가지 방법을 통해 투자규모를 산정하였다. 각각의 투자규모 산정방법은 규모의 적정성, 정책성, 경제성 등을 고려하여 산정하였기 때문에 이를 종합할 수 있는 AHP 기법을 활용하여 합리적인 수준의 투자규모를 제시하고자 하였다. AHP분석결과 내생적 경제성장모형의 가중치가 0.4433으로 가장 높게 도출되었으며, 다음으로 국내 SOC 투자재원규모(0.3666), 국제비교(0.1901) 순으로 나타났다. 가중치를 이용하여 산정된 적정 교통 SOC 투자규모는 2019년 기준 19.51조원~24.49조원으로 산정되었으며, 국가재정운용계획대비 약 4.28조원~9.26조원 높게 도출되었다. 이는 경제적 측면의 가중치가 높게 반영되어 투자규모 산정이 이루어졌기 때문인데, 향후 국내 외 여건 및 정책변화에 부응하기 위하여 적절한 투자규모산정 방안이 필요하며, 예산이 한정된 상황하에서 합리적인 투자계획조정을 통한 체계적인 투자가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
