As the digital economy goes global, firms are trying to find suppliers that can address their managerial goals and strategies. The alternatives are not confined to domestic firms. Firms have been trying to connect to foreign partners worldwide. Although offshore outsourcing grants firms various benefits, they present big cultural challenges. However, there is little research on the impact of cultural or country factors on outsourcing. The goal of this paper is to synthesize the outsourcing success literature and develop propositions for outsourcing success in the context of offshore outsourcing. This paper proposes that cultural effects should be included in evaluating the success of offshore outsourcing. Knowledge sharing and the scope of outsourcing are adopted in the base outsourcing success model from previous literature. In the extended model partnership quality is included as a mediator and organizational capability and outsourcing relationship type are also included as moderator. Finally, the integrated framework of offshore outsourcing success includes cultural factors as moderators of the relationships between outsourcing success antecedents and the success of offshore outsourcing. Reasoning for propositions, managerial implications, and future research directions are discussed.

Urban has been operating Korail and the local autonomous entity in Korea. Over 70 LRTs will be constructed in the future, but it is hard to manage them due to structural deficit from construction debt, so Public finance plays a very important role in order to overcome a deficit. Therefore, it is necessary to plan detailed analysis and planned system about the expenditure of the amount which is borrowed from country and local government and business income from railroad companies like government grants, PSO. This research wishes to grasp the problem and present model about reasonable and efficient financial program, analyzing about increasing import and expenses of Urban.

Through two case studies on the United States and Japan, this research aims to identify the characteristics of disaster management research and thereby provides policy implications for Korea. This paper analyzed government-funded disaster management R&D for each country: the National Science Foundation awarded projects from 2005 to 2015 for the United States, and Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from 2011 to 2015 managed by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for Japan. As a result, four following implications were drawn. 1) pursuit of R&SD(Research & Solution Development) instead of R&D, 2) shift from prevention to life-cycle management, 3) necessity of multidisciplinary research, and 4) emphasis on post-disaster investigation.

Purpose - This paper examines the impact of labor market regulations on FDI and the production of foreign firms. Design/methodology - We use an index of employment protection along with data on the FDI and production of foreign affiliates that are provided by the OECD. Findings - The empirical results show that strict employment protection discourages both the production and initial entry of foreign firms, with its impact on production being larger than that on the initial entry decision. The result is robust to various specifications in which instrumental variable estimations are used by applying a unionization rate and a severance pay for redundancy dismissal as instruments, respectively. Therefore, policymakers should not limit their focus to tax incentives, cash grants, and relaxation of market regulations, but they should also extend their attention to labor market deregulation and decreasing non-wage cost to attract more foreign firms into their countries. Originality/value - This paper attempts to answer the question on the impact of employment protection rules on the foreign firm's decisions regarding production as well as initial entry.

In order to provide the National Dental Health Program with dasic data, and to implove the laborartory managent style, the author studied the operational situations of dental lads through questionaire. The results are as follows, 1. Unlicensured personnel should be replaced by the licensured(from present rate lf 49.2% licensured to more than80%) 2. Minimum wage guarantee system as well as well as oage raise should be established. 3. Monthly balancing accounts system and bepreciation reserve accounts system should be established for the reasonable management. 4. Manufacturing period should be elongated from presnt 2.8 days to 5-7 days for quality betterment of the processes. 5. Medical insurance system should be applied to the dental processes. 6. Manufacturing cost should be increased by 35%. 7. Retirement grants lr retirement annuity system, improvement of occupational environ-ment, and holidays incentives, and participation in medical insurance system should be adopted for the wellfare of the dental technicians. 8. Laboratory managers should operate the lads with pride and valuation. 9. Business Management course should be included in the curriculum of the dental labo-ratory school. 10. Good relationship between Korean Association of Dental Laboratory Technicians and local laboratories shorld be improved.

Since the concept of "innovation resistance" was introduced as a summary construct for customers not adopting a superior innovation, a lot of researchers have examined to identify the relationship between the innovation resistance and the various innovation and situation variables. This paper addresses the innovation resistance coming from the introduction of a new R&D grant management system(RGMS) in a university. The new RGMS is based on research grant management policies newly accredited by the government, where the central management of the research grants is indispensable. We have surveyed professors and researchers about the introduction of a new RGMS, and empirically analyzed the perceived innovation characteristics and the user characteristics affecting the innovation resistance. The result shows that perceived risk is the most important factor influencing on the innovation resistance.

This study examined which factors influence the parental borrowing for children's college education in the U.S. A double-hurdle model was applied to analyze both the parents’decision to borrow and the amount of borrowing. Parents’income and total costs of college attendance had significant positive effects on both the decision to borrow and the amount borrowed. Students’income, parents’cash and savings had significant negative impacts on the amount borrowed, while home equity and the students’expected future income were significant positive factors. Greater amounts of grants significantly increased the probability of borrowing, but reduced the loan amount. Parents with smaller household size, and those who were college graduates were more likely to borrow. White parents borrowed greater amounts than did their non-White counterparts. The age of the student was a significant negative factor in the probability, as well as the level, of borrowing.

For provisioning the best effort service, the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN standard employs a MAC scheme based on reservation ALOHA. In the MAC scheme, a subscriber station, after attempting a resource request, waits for a resource grant during a prescribed period rather than an explicit acknowledgement. In this paper, we propose a MAC scheme for improving delay performance, where we control the lifetime of a request to prevent excessive grants and distribute residual resource according to a round robin. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the mean delay performance.

As the aircraft noise become the serious matter nowadays, registrations controlling the noise emission from aircraft are established to set up noise protection areas such as residential buildings and schools. Several methods are used to assess the noise impact of an airport on its surroundings. WECPNL is used as the aircraft legislation noise index in Korea and in Japan. In this paper, experiments were made to assess the total noise impact of Kwangju airport area by using WECPNL. Also restrictions related to buildings in this area and grants were reviewed to improve building attention in the inner zone.
