Identifying benefit from IT spending is of great concern to most firms in today's competing world. Cost-benefit analysis of IT spending can be conducted when firms have systematic management process of IT spending and the supporting data. This paper examined Korean firm's management process of IT spending, and proposes the best practice. Management process of IT spending and the definition of IT expense and investment were proposed based on the best practice. A proposition that "IT expenses and investments need to be distinguished to manage IT spending effectively' was proposed. Hypotheses were generated and tested with empirical data. Statistical analyses show that ratios of IT investment to IT expense were significantly different during the study period. The results of the study imply that firms can acquire useful information by distinguishing IT expense and investment in the management process of IT spending.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sports shoes benefit pursuit on purchase reason, purchase evaluative criteria, and purchase information resource of high school girls. The data were collected between June 2016 from 287 high school girls in their's, living in Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, Daegu, Busan, and Changwon. The data have been analyzed by using SPSS program. The methods of factor analysis, reliability, and regression have been adopted for the data analysis. The results of this study were as followings: The factors of sports shoes benefit pursuits consisted of four dimensions of fashion-pursuit, brand-pursuit, convenience-pursuit, and economy-pursuit. The factors of purchase reasons consisted of three dimensions of syntony, recreation, and economic utility. The factors of purchase evaluative criteria consisted of three dimensions of management, aesthetic appreciation, and symbolism. The factors of purchase information resource consisted of two dimensions of media and human. Sports shoes benefit pursuits had an influence on purchase reasons, purchase evaluative criteria, and purchase information resources. In particular, the fashion-pursuit of Sports shoes benefit pursuits had a great influence on purchase reasons. The brand-pursuit of Sports shoes benefit pursuits had a great influence on purchase evaluative criteria and purchase information resources. It is highly expected that this study is used as the useful sources of sports Shoes industry.

In this study, to figure out the total benefit of PEFP it is necessary to estimate the various kinds of social benefit only in one measure - money unit. After this, by adding them up, the total social benefit of PEFP could be shown up. In this way, the economic evaluation system of PEFP has been developed.

In this paper, ESS capacity installed in industrial customer is calculated using economic analysis. To do this, electric charge for industrial customer is analyzed and power management system(PMS) of ESS is selected. Reduction of kW cost and kWh cost are set to 'benefit' according to operation of ESS. Also, installation cost and maintenance cost of ESS are set to 'cost'. Proper ESS capacity is determined as a result of benefit-to-cost(B/C) analysis according to the variation of ESS installation cost. In case study, B/C is analyzed for the specific industrial customer and minimum capacity of ESS to make a profit are proposed for the customer.

This paper presents an economic analysis for the travel aids service system for visually handicapped persons through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). This research estimates both cost and economic effect of the service. By using input-output analysis technique, three kinds of repercussion effects - domestic production, value added, and workers induced by the travel aids service - are also calculated. To evaluate the profitability of the service, we investigate the procedures through which the service has an effect on the interested parties and develop formulas describing the procedures. The benefit of the service have been generally obtained by measuring the willingness to pay (WTP). This paper, however, obtains the monetary value of benefit by estimating the parameters of the formulas, so that a close improvement of the service may be possible with the result of the economic analysis.

In health care, the process of resource allocation becomes a controversial process of rationing, as scarce resources are allocated between the numerous health care interventions. Especially for the last few years, decisions to define and expand the benefit package of National Health Insurance have always become the object of fierce criticism. It is partly because we have not reached a collective agreement as to what the most important criteria for spending priorities are. This paper considers the procedures and the principles which could be used to determine rationing in health care, and emphasizes the need to have explicit principles which determine patient access to care and to have an evidence base to inform rationing decisions. Also, the need to set up a public committee is suggested to take rationing decisions on behalf of government and NHS and to present them as evidence-based decisions.

With the increasing prevalence of e-learning courses in human resource development of Enterprise, it is important to investigate which courses are better economic performance. In this study, we proposed the framework for the cost-benefit analysis of e-learning, and attempted to identify cost and benefits factors. In order to achieve the research goal, we firstly tries to analyze the current IT adoption performance framework and e-learning staged performance model. The methodology adopted in the research was mainly that relevant materials, literatures were collected and analyzed to draw a comprehensive picture of the current situation and problems.

The imports of used medical equipment such as CT. MRI have been rapidly increased every year. How to manage those medical equipment has been one of critical issues in the government sector. In this study, we demonstrate how benefit/cost analysis using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be applied to the comparison of used CT/MRI and new CT/MRI. The final results show that the new CT/MRI is more attractive than the used CT/MRI.
