This paper presents a model for analyzing a firm's competitive position. The model utilizes M. Porter's Value Chain concept and develops a framework for analyzing a firm's cost structure and identifying the sources of a firm's competitive advantage. The paper first discusses the nature of a firm's competitive advantage and identifies different types of competitive advantage a firm can pursue. The paper then introduces the concepts of cost driver and its linkage as a new way of examining organizations, and develops a model for analyzng a firm's competitive advantage. Next, it illustrates detailed procedures of the model by applying it into a real world organization, and draws some strategic implications for the organization. Finally, the paper discusses the limitations of the research and suggest future related research.

In a rapidly changing business environment, the improvement of managerial techniques through IT utilization brings about remarkable increases in profitability and redesign of work process for better performances. IT innovation by electronic instruments such as ICT e-business provides accelerates forming inter-organizational information network and helps them benchmark the best practices of advanced organizations. A new shift of paradigm by e-business across all enterprises has turned the traditional aspects of inter-organizational competition and relationship into a form of collaboration. Collaboration enables business activities in parallel position among companies and facilitates cooperation between partner enterprises. Lately, the concept of 'Synchronization' is emerging beyond dimension of cooperation between networks, and the most concepts related to it are converging into 'Collaboration Networks'. This research observes a virtual organization as a form of collaborative networks, and measures the degree of virtualization of Korean collaborative organizations.

This study deals with an autonomous generation of simulation codes for the design of processes of c CIM system based on the concept of model transformation. We assume we have a functional model of an organization which is developed using the well-known IDEF0 methodology. Then, a modeling methodology, called PROWD(PRocess flOW Description), is suggested to develop the flow processes of the organization. To Derive simulation specifications for the transformed PROWD model, we define a module of a "unit system" for each activity of PROWD model. Then specifications for system entities and resources are derived from input/control/mechanism/output and entity flows of PROWD model. Entitiy queues are defined from the sates and events of unit systems. Finally, SIMAN model frame is generated from those specifications through a suggested algorithm. The implementability and validity of the proposed approach is tested by developing a prototype of a computer-assisted design system on the operation processes of FMS installed at SNU-ASRI (Seoul National University-Automation and Systems Research Institute).nstitute).

The nature of a network implies movement among vertices, and can be regarded as flows. Based on the flow concept which network follows the hydraulic fluid principle, we develop a spatial network model using Bernoulli equation. Then we explore the organization of spatial network and growth by the velocity of network flows. Results show that flow velocity determines network connections or influence of a vertex up to a point, and that the overall network structure is the result of pull force (pressure) and flow velocity. We demonstrate how one vertex can monopolize connections within a network.

The issues of “Integration” in quality management and related fields have been discussed for a few years. Literature review reveals that this is a large and multi-disciplinary topic. Although there are many publications on this issue, very few well-cited articles show direct illustration to why, what and how to implement the “Integration” strategy in quality management. This paper presents a panoramic review and vision on “Integration” issues of quality management, in the perspectives of concept, scope, organization, information, process, and culture.

Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) is a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) system under development in South Korea and aims to provide air navigation services after 2023. In order to provide reliable service, detailed design for the operation of this system is required. This paper proposes a detailed operation-based designs based on mission, architecture, operation definition of the system. For the stable operation of the system, an operation organization was designed and operation activities were classified in consideration of the architecture and function of the system. Detailed operation procedures were designed according to this classification and operation procedures related to the command and configuration of subsystem were verified on the Integration, Verification and Qualification (IVQ) platform for integrated testing and verification. The proposed operation concepts and procedures will be continuously confirmed and verified during verification, qualification and service preparation, and will be updated event after official KASS service.

The purpose of this study wa to analyze the impact of nurses' perceptions of care and professional self-concept on their organizational socialization. The participants were 193 nurses working in university hospitals and general hospitals in regions C and D. Data collection took place from July to August 2016, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis with IBM SPSS 22 software. The results indicated that educational level and professional self-concept are determining factors influencing organizational socialization. Nurses with an associate degree showed higher levels of organizational socialization compared to those with a bachelor's degree or higher, and higher levels of professional self-concept were associated with higher organizational socialization. Therefore, it is necessary for hospitals to implement effective human resource management that enables nurses of each educational level to quickly socialize within the organization, providing differentiated support and programs based on educational level. Additionally, continuous research is required to enhance nurses' professional self-concept and establish their work identity.
