In this study, the study was conducted to derive the utility of the safety management system applying block chain technology and big data technology to improve the problems of construction sites where concealment and operation of safety accidents occur. If block chain technology and big data technology are applied to construction safety management, transparent data can be collected, and based on the collected data, it is possible to predict accidents that can occur at the construction site and establish countermeasures. It can also be an opportunity to strengthen the safety awareness of construction workers and managers, and can clearly identify the responsibility in the event of a safety accident. This study suggests that the application of the 4th Industrial Revolution technology could be a great opportunity to innovate the construction industry which is less than other industries.

Investors must adopt profitable investment opportunities to maximize their wealth. Almost all investment, finance, engineering economics textbooks explain that net present value (NPV) measures the profitability (or value) of investment opportunities in absolute size, and internal rate of return (IRR) measures the profitability of investment opportunities in relative proportions. However, NPV is a measure of the relative size of the return on investment opportunity to do-nothing alternative. Moreover, IRR can occur in multiple investment opportunities and may not exist. To make matters worse, IRR and NPV also have conflicting problems in accept-or-reject decisions. In this study, the reason why NPV and IRR cannot accurately measure the profitability of investment opportunities is identified, and fundamental characteristics that investment opportunity profitability measures should have are presented.

This paper aims to consider an overall benefit-duration optimization (OBDO) problem for the sake of maximizing owner's economic benefits, whilst considering influences of schedule compression incurred opportunity income on the profitability of a large-scale construction project. Unlike previous schedule optimization models and techniques that have focused on project duration or cost minimization, with greater weight on contractors' interests, OBDO facilitates owner's economic benefits through overall benefit-duration optimization. In this paper, the objective function of OBDO model is formulated. An example is illustrated to prove the feasibility and practicability of the overall benefit-duration optimization problem. The significance of employing OBDO model and future research work are also described.

South Korea is currently facing many changes and challenges. To make matters worse, society has struggled to function as it did before COVID-19. This study describes the past and current COVID-19 situation to offer lessons on management during and after COVID-19. We provide implications from COVID-19 and the foundation for future disasters by employing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis and indigenous administrative conceptual framework on culture, institution, and instrument to add a circumstance perspective. This study used secondary data from prior research and literature. Resolutions for these policy issues are presented using the strength-opportunity (SO), strength-threat (ST), weakness-opportunity (WO), and weakness-threat (WT) strategies. We suggest utilizing instruments that consider diverse societies and preventing the disease with climate change by collaborating with social institutions. We hope these implications and resolutions will provide insights for the future and other countries.

Online retail is a growing opportunity for retailers and consumers. Cross-buying provides companies with an opportunity to increase their revenue contributions from existing consumers. In many fields, especially in the service sector, cross-selling is an easier strategy to use relative to increasing revenue rather than acquiring new consumers. Website personalization has been a powerful indispensable tool for web-based companies and end users. Using the Mehrabian and Russell's Stimulus-Organism-Response framework, we experimentally examined how an online retailing merchant's environmental stimuli (S) arouses internal affective and cognitive states (O), that affect consumers' approach-avoidance behavior (R) in cross-buying and shopping cart abandonment in online transactions.

The amendment to the Higher Education Act enforced on February 20, 2024, abolishing the traditional 2-year pre-med and 4-year medical school programs, marks a significant shift in medical education in Korea. The academic system reform is expected to be a driving force for large-scale curriculum revision, presenting an opportunity to introduce new educational innovations not only in curriculum but also in student assessment and support systems. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts among educators, students, and communities to navigate the evolving landscape of medical education effectively. In this regard, I will illustrate the recruitment and development of educators to implement the reform and the collaboration between communities and medical schools to innovate medical education.
