It is assumed that employees' ethical judgements and attitudes in handling personal and organizational information differ, depending upon their hierarchical ranks in organizations and types of information. Therefore we investigated how differently employees at different ranks judge hypothetical behaviors(or situations); their manner of handling various types of information in their daily activities in business organizations. Sixteen hypotheses based on combinations of 3 ethical areas and 5 information types were developed and tested. We found that three management ranks have shown significantly different ethical attitude about i)the accessibility to strategic planning and managerial information and ii)the property of managerial, operational and informal information. This research can help organizations to design better education programs and ethical codes to guide employees who process sensitive information.

In recent years, due to a lack of expertise, many organizations have been devoting large portions of their budget to outsourcing. Outsourcing is now often regarded as a solution for all problems. However, the lack of clear understanding of the effectiveness of outsourcing could lead to many problems in organizations even though outsourcing is known to provide advantages to some organizations. Moreover, outsourcing could have a negative effect on knowledge management in some aspects. There have been and continue to be numerous studies into outsourcing; however, their findings primarily relate to cost reduction in short-term. Regardless of increasing demands on outsourcing and the importance of knowledge management, little research has focused on decision-making structure from knowledge management perspective. This paper attempted to quickly identify promising movements with potentially significant effects on IT/IS outsourcing.

Performance evaluation has been done using financial indices which are generally regarded as inappropriate for the organizations which are innovative and progressive. Thus, the Balanced Scorecard(BSC) was developed considering long term performance and invisible performance. This BSC has four perspectives of finance, customer, internal operation, and learning. Based on the BSC, a new BSC has been derived with a fifth view of environmental and social perspective, which is now called as a Sustainability BSC. In this study, we evaluated Green IT initiatives using the Sustainability BSC. The initiatives are categorized as RFID, telepresence, paperless office, logistics management etc. The initiatives were evaluated from the view of five perspectives, resulting in high cor relationships among finance, internal operation, and environmental and social perspectives. Namely, good initiatives from the view of environmental/social perspective are also evaluated as good from the view of finance and internal operation perspectives. In this study, we recommend organizations to introduce Green IT initiatives by showing how Green IT initiatives have contributed to the organizations.

Business organizations are trying in various ways to survive and grow up in the rapidly changing environment. A lot of organizations have introduced management innovation skills and attempted to change, but most of them have failed to realize their aims. The reason is that the members of the organization including the chief executive officers did not understand the paradigm of the change management of an organization, and gave weight to the partial efficiency instead of the change management of the organization. In this study, guidelines and principles are suggested to apply the quality management system to the change management of business organizations.

The purpose of this study is to explore conquest plans of the barrier and resistance in innovation management. In addition, this study is to describe the model of innovation resistance that reflects adoption process stages and identify the factors that drive the resistance of consumers and the barriers. Whenever organizations try to plan and implement some kind of innovation in organizations, they confront the resistance and barriers in many ways. By understanding innovation resistance and barrier, organizations can not only design better innovations but can develop strategies to reduce resistance and conquer the barriers. Thus they accelerate innovation. Also, these results indicate that people resist innovation strongly when it betrays their value, needs and beliefs or when they felt the pressure on self-conviction and mental risk, loss, and lack of knowledge. Understanding the factors that drive the innovation resistance and barrier has important implications for both theoretical development and managerial action.
