To provide a fundamental understanding on the inherent relationship between IT capabilities and sustainable firm heterogeneity, we investigate the dual roles that institutional pressures play, namely, as antecedents of IT capabilities and as moderator of the relationship between IT capabilities and IT innovation success, where IT innovation success plays a mediating role between IT capabilities and firm performance. The structural model was tested, and the results of the PLS analysis provided general support for the proposed hypotheses. IT capabilities had an indirect effect mediated by IT innovation success on firm performance. With IT activities assumed to be embedded in the institutional context, the dual roles of institutional pressures are verified. This study contributes to the literature on IT capabilities by considering both the determining role of institutional pressures on IT capabilities and the institutional context of the chain that connects IT capabilities to firm performance. The results suggest that a firm not only manages various institutional pressures to foster its IT capabilities but also adapts to different contexts with a certain level of institutional pressures to facilitate its IT capabilities and outperform its competitors, which could be sustained through IT innovation success.

Given the diverse environmental contexts of universities worldwide there is a need for a theoretical orientation that addresses the entrepreneurial university in a range of settings. Applying the institutional perspective this research explores how universities are strongly influenced by, as well as active influencers in, their surrounding environment. To do this, we examine case narratives of two universities in each of the following countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, the UK, and the U.S. Analysis focuses on five entrepreneurial dimensions as defined by Nelles and Vorley (2010a): Structures, Systems, Leadership, Strategies, and Culture while examining the impact of regional and national context at regulative, normative, and cognitive levels of analysis. We address two research questions: How do universities interact with their institutional context in developing entrepreneurially and what actors and forces are most important in motivating institutional change in developing a university's entrepreneurial architecture?

본 연구는 제도적 맥락의 관점에서 우리나라가 왜 감사제도가 아닌 검사제도를 사용하고 있는지 살펴보고 시사점을 제시하고자 하였다. 제도적 맥락은 제도적 유산, 동인, 제도적 제약, 행위자의 역할 및 변화된 제도의 절차로 분석하였다. 연구는 국내외 사례에 대한 문헌조사를 바탕으로 뉴질랜드, 호주, 영국, 미국 및 우리나라의 재무부와 감사원 홈페이지에서 체계적으로 관련된 자료를 수집하여 실효성 있는 제언이 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 분석결과 우리나라는 제도적 제약으로 감사제도가 아닌 검사제도를 유지하면서 검사의 의미확대, 검사주체의 능력강화, 검사내용의 정비, 공시제도의 강화 등을 통하여 재무제표의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 감사제도를 활용하고 있는 선진국에 비하여 여전히 미흡한 제도이다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 행위자의 능력강화, 내부통제 제도 마련, 의견제시 및 외부공시 강화 등을 제도적 보완사항으로 제시하였다. 추후 이러한 보완사항에 대한 깊이 있는 연구가 이루어지기를 바란다.

There have been many requests for development of senior housing in Korea. Therefore it was very important to review how senior houses are established and managed in other countries. In this point, this research compared the actual conditions of the homes for the elderly in the U.K, U.S.A and Japan. Through the process, this research aimed to find the implications for Korea. The research was conducted by the literature review on senior congregate housing with Franklin's(1998) social constructionism perspective. This kind of research might be utilized as a theoretical framework for performance of any systems of housing for the aged. In this study, the researchers suggested the implications of senior congregate housing as follows. Firstly, in terms of structural context, government in the U.K, U.S.A., and Japan were positively concerned with solving the housing problems for senior citizens despite some differences. Secondly, from an institutional context, institutions related with provision, construction, and management of senior congregate housing were systematically consolidated and they all adapted the housing and welfare policy. Thirdly, in organizational context, there was an organization in charge of provision and management that exclusively oversaw the housing for the elderly in both the public and private sectors. Fourthly, in operational context, standards regarding space were clearly set both for individual units and common spaces as well as for facilities and services for the residents. Finally in terms of intersubjective context, the competency of housing manager and ways to involve the families which were important for residents' independent life were under study.

This study was performed by the literature review on housing of the aged in Korea with social constructionism perspective. This kind of research may be utilized as a theoretical framework for performance of any systems of housing for the aged. In terms of structural context, the value of conventional custom of filial piety thoughts and duty for family are being collapsed, which nay be suitable to the change of society, should be considered for positive acceptance of changes in ideology. In terms of institutional context, a method to grope for housing for the aged should be established through amicable cooperation between organizations of legalization concerned. In terms of organizational context, there is no organization that exclusively concern housing for the aged until now, thus, development of concrete manual is required for jobs of service in current department of policy for the aged. In terms of operational context, the service may include the understanding of characteristics of the aged and design of housing may also change the service of administration, and as cooperation in the local community care systems may change the service to the aged in the field. Connection of these services and operation of these organizations nay be required in the field to manage housing. Finally in terms of intersubjective context, as the form and method of housing management service is important, with understanding of the social meaning and importance on the role of manager.

While prior work has noted the importance of knowledge creation in gaining competitive advantages, much less is understood about why firms do not actually use what they create. Building upon institutional approaches to organization studies, we offer a new framework to explain the gap between knowledge creation and utilization. We test our framework in an empirical context of sustainable innovation and environmental technologies where ideas of environmental sustainability have recently gained public popularity and shaped how interested audiences make evaluative assessments of firms. In such a context, firms are apt to perceive the social attention toward sustainability to be a normative pressure, which causes them to create new knowledge and develop technologies consistent with the pressure. Using data from the government-initiated certification system for green technologies, our study finds that firms do not always fully implement new environmental technologies they develop in response to the certification program, the situation we refer to as knowledge decoupling. We also examine a set of conditions under which knowledge decoupling becomes more or less amplified. Taken together, our findings show how a firm's knowledge creation and utilization is shaped by its external institutional environment as well as internal learning processes.

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between country-level institutional quality and public debt in the context of Pakistan. The hypotheses of this study were assessed by using the country-level institutional quality data for Pakistan throughout the years from 1996 to 2018. Data came from the World Databank, IMF and Worldwide Governance Indicators databases. For the analysis, ordinary least square, quantile regression and robust regression were employed to assess the factors influencing the public debt. The results of this study indicate that the factors of voice and accountability, regulatory quality, and control of corruption have a positive and significant relationship with public debt, while political stability, government effectiveness, and the rule of law have a negative and significant effect on public debt. Based on the findings, a weak country-level institutional quality poses a substantial market risk as it signals the existence of an unfavorable economic condition that raises public debt. It was also revealed that an improved performance of country-level institutional quality can lead to the improvement of financial market transparency, hence reduce public debt. In contrast to previous studies, the present study will be breaking ground in enhancing public insight regarding the impact of country-level institutional quality on Pakistan's public debt.

The objective of this research is to explore the inconclusive theoretical and empirical association between institutional ownership and firm performance in the context of emerging Pakistani economy. The data set consists of all the non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Annual data set covers the period ranging from 2010 to 2015. However, the econometric analysis does not include those firms with incomplete data. Thus the final data set comprised of an unbalanced panel of sample of 276 firms with 1231 firms years observations. Data related to the institutional ownership and other variables taken for the study were extracted through the annual financial reports of the firms. The research used Tobin's Q as a proxy of market measure of firm performance and tested the endogenous relation with institutional ownership through OLS and 2SLS approach. The study also applied Durbin-Wu-Hausman test to determine the endogeneity before analyzing the 2SLS model. The Durbin-Wu-Hausman Test (DWH) conform the endogenous link between institutional ownership and performance and vice versa. The results derived from 2SLS also confirm a highly significant relationship and two way direct proportional relationships between the institutional investment and corporate performance in the studied companies.

브랜드에 관해서는 유독 여러 정의들이 존재하여 학제적 논의의 복잡성이 높다. 이에 그동안 산발적으로 흩어져있는 브랜드에 관한 정의들을 총체적으로 분류, 분석해 보고자 한다. 이는 브랜드의 응용 연구에 비해 학제적 개념 연구가 현저히 부실한 국내 브랜드 연구에 특히 필요한 콘텐츠다. 우선 총론에서는 브랜드에 관한 다양한 문헌 연구를 종합 분석하여 여러 정의들을 추출, 재분류하였다. 브랜드의 정의를 크게 상업적 문맥이 본격적으로 형성되기 이전의 어원적 정의와 제도적 관점에서의 정의, 그리고 본격적인 상업적 문맥이 형성된 후, 공급자 관점, 수요자 관점, 그리고 그 둘 간의 관계 혹은 상호작용 중심의 정의로 나누었으며 이들을 <표1>로 정리하였다. 각론에서는 어원적 정의와 제도적 관점에서의 정의를 중심으로 분석하였으며 'Brand'가 'brandr(불타는 나무)'라는 명확한 단어에서 유래한 것으로 일반적으로 알고 있는 'burn'과 차이가 있음을 밝혔다. 또한 이것이 cattle-branding을 거치면서 현대적 의미를 갖게 된 과정을 통하여 브랜드의 개념과 역사를 짚어보았다. 이와 함께 브랜드의 '법적 선언'인 'trademark'로서의 브랜드 의미를 살펴보고 브랜드가 생산자 및 소비자의 보호와 행정적 관리, 관련 산업의 육성 등을 가능케 하는 사회의 중요한 법적, 제도적 시스템으로 정착되는 과정을 분석했다. 결론적으로 어원적 정의와 제도적 관점에서의 정의는 브랜드의 역사를 고스란히 반영하고 있는 가장 본원적이며 사전적인 정의임을 강조하였다. 이는 이후 브랜드와 관련된 여러 응용 연구에 있어서 그 개념적 초석을 제공하기 때문이다.
