본 논문은 국내 독립 SW기업(ISV, Independent Software Vendor)이 어떤 조건을 갖추었을때 플랫폼 생태계 참여에 더 적극적인가를 분석한 연구이다. 기업은 기술혁신의 결과를 전유할 수 있을 때와 해당 기술을 가치로 전환할 수 있는 보완자산(마케팅, 제조역량 등)을 보유한 경우 기술혁신에 적극적이다. 본 연구에서는 두 조건이 플랫폼 생태계 참여에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또, SW기업이 보유한 제품 포트폴리오와 플랫폼의 서비스간 경쟁관계가 플랫폼 참여에 영향을 준다고 보고, 해당 요인의 영향도 분석하였다. 디지털 플랫폼 기업들과 파트너 협약을 한 국내 독립 SW기업 그리고 이에 대응하는 비슷한 수의 플랫폼 미참여 기업으로 표본집단을 구성하여 플랫폼 참여, 특허 및 개발 후 사업화 역량, 경쟁관계 등의 데이터를 취합하고 분석하였다. 분석 결과 특허 보유 여부는 플랫폼 참여에 영향을 주지 않았다. 혁신기술과 사업모델의 노출에 따른 위험보다 플랫폼 기업과 협력으로부터 발생하는 효익이 크다고 판단한 결과로 여겨진다. 반면, 사업화 역량 보유와 경쟁 관계는 플랫폼 참여에 영향을 주었다. 협력의 결과를 가치로 전환할 수 있는 사업화 역량을 보유한 경우 플랫폼 참여 가능성이 커진다. 또, 제품 포트폴리오가 플랫폼 서비스와 경쟁보다 보완관계가 될 때 협력에 적극적이다. 본 연구는 국내 독립 SW기업과 디지털 플랫폼 기업간 협력을 다룬 실증연구로서 해외에는 유사 선행 연구가 있지만 국내에는 유사한 연구사례가 없다. 플랫폼 생태계 참여 기업과 미 참여 기업을 표본집단으로 구성하여 플랫폼 생태계 참여 결정요인을 실증분석을 통해 규명하였다는 데 의의가 있다.

Purpose - Numerous studies have tried to assess the role of a warranty as an explanatory instrument for product quality. While one study argued that manufacturers signal their superior quality to consumers by extending the duration of a warranty, quality is not necessarily related to warranty and a warranty for a short duration is a sign of high product quality. However, there are limitations to measuring product quality in terms of a single variable such as a warranty. Some other studies have evaluated the influence of brand power or value and price on the supposed quality of a product while the influence of warranty was found to be insignificant. Research design, data, methodology - The study analyzes the influence of brand power and the country of origin effect on consumers' perception of product quality in line with warranty and establishes a priority strategy. Especially, consumer experience has a significant influence on state of the art technology products like applied home electronics as these goods are generally quite expensive and consumers expend significant energy in purchasing them, so the associated warranty and brand can have a critical role in the decision making process. The price of the product was excluded in this discussion as it continually varies with the market share of the product. Results - The results of the analysis are as follows: First, each of the factors such as the standard of the warranty, brand power, and country of origin effect influences the degree of satisfaction of an individual. Second, the factors brand power and quality of the warranty interact both complementarily and synergistically at a time, depending on the brand power. As brand power is more significant, the degree of satisfaction is greater in case of products with low quality warranty compared to those with high quality warranty. Third, the brand power and country of origin effect present a complementary interaction. Fourth, the country of origin effect and quality of a warranty interact synergistically. Conclusions - Thus, the higher the quality of warranty, greater is the increment in the degree of satisfaction. The comprehensive study on the effect of the country of origin on the purchase decision process and the degree of satisfaction compared to the other elements shows that in case of Japanese and Korean markets the brand power of a company is desirable in sustaining the quality of warranty to the industrial average. Also, there is no significant improvement in the perceived quality of the product when the quality of the warranty is lowered. Therefore, the warranty effect diminishes when the value of the brand is known, while it perishes when both the brand power and the country of origin effect are strong enough.

Korean manufacturing industry have recently faced the catch-up of China in the mass commodity product, such as automotive, display, and smart phone in terms of market as well as technology. Accordingly, discussion on the importance of achieving catch-up in complex product systems (CoPS) has been increasing as a new innovation engine for the industry. In order to achieve successful catch-up of CoPS, we explored emerging technologies of CoPS, which are featured by the characteristics of radical novelty, relatively fast growth and self-sustaining, through the study of emerging technologies of gas turbine for power generation. We found that emerging technologies of the gas turbine are technologies for combustion nozzle and composition of electrical machine for increasing power efficiency, washing technology for particulate matter, cast and material processing technology for enhancing durability from fatigue, cooling technologies from extremely high temperature, interconnection operation technology between renewable energy and the gas turbine for flexibility in power generation, and big data technology for remote monitoring and diagnosis of the gas turbine. We also found that those emerging technologies resulted in technological progress of the gas turbine by converging with other conventional technologies in the gas turbine. It indicates that emerging technologies in CoPS can be appeared on various technological knowledge fields and have complementary relationship with conventional technologies for technology progress of CoPS. It also implies that latecomers need to pursue integrated learning that includes emerging technologies as well as conventional technologies rather than independent learning related to emerging technologies for successful catch-up of CoPS. Our findings provide an important initial theoretical ground for investigating the emerging technologies and their characteristics in CoPS as well as recognizing knowledge management strategy for successful catch-up of latecomers. Our findings also contribute to the policy development of the CoPS from the perspective of innovation strategy and knowledge management.

Purpose - Based on transaction cost perspective and institution-based perspective, this research attempts to investigate the effect of outsourcing on a firm's performance and how it interacts with institutional context in which the firms operate. Research design, data, and methodology -With a sample of 164 manufacturing firms form South Korea, we examine the direct effects of outsourcing on the a firm's level of product innovation and internationalization and the moderating effects of competitive pressure and property right protection as important external factors that could affect the effectiveness of outsourcing decision. Result - The findings show that outsourcing not only enhance a firm's capability to concentrate on its core competencies, but also to increase a firm's combinative capacity to acquire external knowledge. Furthermore, we finds that in a highly competitive environment, potential knowledge spillovers to other competitors may attenuate the potential benefits of outsourcing. Conclusion - Outsourcing can enhance a firm's innovation activities by providing valuable access to external knowledge and also to complementary resources from the external partners, which in turn enables firms to focus on core competences.

A survey on the quality improvement and preference for green onion kimchi by Chinese and Japanese consumers was conducted by 30 Korean specialists in order to develop an improved green onion kimchi product. The long green onion shape, kimchi juice, seasonings, off-odor of fermented sea food, and stimulatory flavor of green onion were the main issues considered for the improvement of green onion product. Usage of the favorite ingredients of the Chinese and Japanese consumers was also suggested. The percentages of Chinese and Japanese who already knew green onion kimchi were 54.1% and 30.3%, respectively, whereas 46.8% of Chinese and 28.1% of Japanese have actually tried green onion kimchi in Korea. There was no significant difference in the preference for green onion kimchi between Chinese (3.25/5.0) and Japanese (3.17/5.0) consumers. For recommendations for improving the quality of green onion, Chinese consumers thought off-flavor, fibrous texture, and fermentation level were more significant while the Japanese considered red color, various taste, MSG content, and length of green onion. Seasoned tofu with green onion and rice were suggested as complementary foods to green onion kimchi by the Chinese and Japanese, respectively.

In this paper we focus on a type of Unimodular polynomial pair used for digital systems and present some new properties of them which lead us to estimation of their autocorrelation coefficients and the moments of a Rudin-Shapiro polynomial product. Some new results on the Rudin-shapiro sequences will be presented in the last section. Main Facts: For positive integers M and n with $M\;<\;2^n$ - 1, consider the $2^n$ - M numbers ${\epsilon}_k$ ($M\;{\leq}\;k\;{\leq}\;2^n$ - 1) which form a collection of Rudin-Shapiro coefficients. We verify that $|{\sum}_{k=M}^{2^{n-1}}\;{{\epsilon}_k}e^{ikt}|$ is dominated by $(2+\sqrt{2})\;\sqrt {2^n-M}-{\sqrt{2}}$.

Recombinant Lactobacillus strains have been constructed using gene splicing by overlap extension (SOE). Primers were designed of which one end of an amplified product contained complementary sequences for an end of other amplified fragment. For efficient matching, we used an asymmetric PCR step that was effective at generating an excess of strands that would anneal in the final PCR. CP12, a recombinant fragment consisting of the integrase gene and attachment site of the bacteriophage A2, was constructed and inserted into the genome of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393, yielding Lb. casei ATCC 393::XCP12. Another recombinant Lb. casei strain was constructed, where the egfp gene was a part of the construction. The EGFP produced from Lb. casei ATCC 393::XCEGFP14 was detected by Western blot hybridization. This simple and widely applicable approach has significant advantages over standard recombinant DNA techniques for Lactobacillus species.
