This study tried to verify the effect of situational consumer animosity on consumer attitudes and behaviors with the moderating effect of cultural internalization. For this purpose, 460 valid survey data were collected from Koreans. The causal and regulatory relationships between the variables were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis and structural model analysis using AMOS with the collected data. It was confirmed that the national situational animosity had a negative effect on quality evaluation, while personal situational animosity did not. Also, the positive relationship between quality evaluation and purchase intention was confirmed. In addition, it was found that internalization of individual culture moderates the effect of quality evaluation on purchase intention.

Course evaluation serves as helpful information to improve the quality of college education and improve lectures. This study derived the factors through preceding research and FGI to explore the factors that constitute course evaluation and identified the relative importance and priority of the factors through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). For this, it derived five factors and 15 evaluation items as follows. To secure expertise and fairness in the factor development of course evaluation, the researcher conducted a questionnaire surveying students and teachers and collected a total of 20 valid data. The weight of each evaluation item was calculated based on the data that had been verified for consistency. The analysis concluded that students rated class content, class method, class operation, class evaluation, and class plan as the critical factors in the order of importance, while teachers evaluated class content, class operation, class method, class evaluation, and class plan as important, in that order. Based on the results of this study, I hope that various analyses and studies will be conducted to improve the efficiency and reliability of course evaluation for the quality management of college education.

Science and technology (S&T) is one of the most important elements in a nation's competitiveness. In an effort to strengthen their national competitiveness, all countries are focusing on upgrading the level of eir S&T. With these factors in mind, Korea has increased its support of national research and development (R&D). In recent years, this added support has resulted in an increased interest in the effectiveness of R&D. We have made continuous efforts to enhance the accountability and effectiveness of R&D by strengthening performance evaluation and considering R&D evaluation results during the budget review (appropriation) process. In order to change to a performance based system, we need to develop objective and scientific indicators to measure and evaluate the quality of the research performance of R&D programs. One of the primary research outcomes is publications. The impact factor of publications is widely used to evaluate overall journal quality and the quality of the papers published therein. However, the use of impact factors has been criticised because they can vary greatly when works from different subject areas are compared. In order to overcome this limitation, we have developed three kinds of qualitative indicators, which are functions of the impact factor. Two of these qualitative indicators, Modified Rank Normalized Impact Factor and Ordinal Rank Normalized Impact Factor, are based on order statistics (rank) for all journals from a specific specialty. The third qualitative indicator, Relative Field Impact Factor, uses the average impact factor of all journals within a subject category. We also suggest a quantitative indicator, Percentage of Contribution. In this study, we suggest 4 indicators and use them to evaluate the performance of outcomes from three R&D programs supported by the Ministry of Education, Science & Technology. We also perform a simulation study to verify the effectiveness of the proposed indicators. It can be shown that the proposed Ordinal Rank Normalized Impact Factor is the most reliable and effective indicator for comparing research performance across subject categories. However, we recommend using previous indicators in combination with the proposed indicators in this study for the research evaluation of R&D programs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to select factors affecting the global competitiveness of testing and certification bodies and to develop evaluation indicator. Methods: Considering the industrial characteristics of Korea, the electrical and electronic test and certification field was selected as the research subject. As a research method, various factors were extracted through exploratory research such as theoretical considerations on the competitiveness of testing and certification bodies and analysis of the growth process of global testing and certification bodies, and focused interviews and surveys were conducted with conformity assessment experts. Results: The 16 factors affecting the global competitiveness of testing and certification institutions were identified. Among the 4 PEST factors, the technological factor had the highest importance, followed by the economic factor, the social factor, and the political factor. The average of the 16 factors was 0.0625, and the 8 factors above the average included 4 technological factors, 3 economic factors, and 1 social factor, but did not include political factors. The factor with the greatest weight was Standardization Capability for Testing & Certification 0.105. Conclusion: It can be used to evaluate the global competitiveness level of domestic testing and certification bodies using evaluation indicators and to establish strategies for strengthening global competitiveness.

We investigated the quality characteristics of cookies made with Chungkukjang powder. Chungkukjang is a well-known nutritional supplement. Cookie samples were made by adding differrent quantities of Chungkukjang powder(0%, 4%, 8% and 12%). We examined the resulting, moisture, pH, color, spread factor, hardness and sensory evaluation of the cookies. While the moisture and, a and b value of the cookies significantly increased when more Chungkukjang powder was added (p<0.01), the pH, L value, spread factor and hardness of the cookies significantly decreased(p<0.01). Cookies containing 0% and 4% Chungkukjang powder had similar sensory evaluation score in terms of color, taste and flavor cookies made with 4% Chungkukjang powder had the highest texture and overall consumer acceptability scores.

This paper proposes the systematic design approach for developing the evaluation indicators that evaluate the candidate proposals in the national defense core-technology R&D projects. To improve the validity and fairness of the evaluation indicators, the existing evaluation process in a military and a public sector are surveyed and also the existing evaluation system of the core-technology R&D programs for the national defense is analysed and discussed. A new system for the evaluation indicators is designed by using the axiomatic design, factor analysis and the analytic hierarchy process. It is expected that the proposed evaluation indicators contribute to enhance the fairness and the reliability of the evaluation process for the proposal of the national defense core-technology R&D projects.

In this research, the comprehensive evaluation model of IS(information systems) for public sectors is theoretically constructed through reviewing and integrating previous IS evaluation-related research. This model is hypothesized to consist of five sectors(System Sector, User Sector, Organization and Management Sector, Resource Management Sector and Strategic Contribution Sector), ten evaluation items belonging to these five evaluation sectors, and sixty two evaluation indices for these ten evaluation items. The results of empirical analyses to test the validity of the research model show that the evaluation sectors turn out to be the same ones as proposed in the hypothetical model. The evaluation items(System Quality, Information Quality, Service Quality) in System Sector proves to be consistent with the hypothetical model. However, in case of User Sector, two evaluation items(Perceived Usefulness and User Satisfaction) which are included in the hypothetical model are found to be merged into one item(User Satisfaction). And, it is shown that four evaluation items such as the Efficiency of Internal Process, Customer Satisfaction, Organizational Innovation, and the Degree of Informatization competence improvement are included in Organization and Management Sector, differently from the research model in which the items, Organizational innovation and the Degree of Informatization competence improvement, are not divided. As a final result, sixty two evaluation indices that comprise all the evaluation items belonging to five sectors are found to be reduced to fifty seven ones through factor analyses, criterion-related validity tests and reliability analyses.

The purchase of information protection products accounts for the largest portion of corporate information protection activity budgets. However, there are no evaluation factors and evaluation models that should be applied to objectively compare information protection products, and therefore, product selection is difficult. Therefore, in this study, we study the inherent quality characteristics of information security products and select evaluation factors accordingly. The selected evaluation factors are analyzed and a quality determination model is given by weighting according to importance. The target is limited to the network information protection product and can be extended to all information protection products.
