Since the advent of man there has been a constant struggle to define social pattern, and understand ways of cultural thinking. Every culture has it's own limitations and freedoms, problems and expectations. For centuries now anthropologist, ethnographers have worked on mapping and defining these differences. These findings instigate the designers to formulate new design theories and research methodologies for drafting cultural specific solutions. The question arises 'in a cross cultural application how effective and applicable are the basic research methodologies'? Quoting one such example the 'Privacy' issue seems to be a very strong component in the Japanese culture but is often a deterring factor in allowing the 'home ethnographic study to take place effectively'. However in countries like India similar studies could have a more welcoming reaction owing to the adaptive social culture. Similarly, the high rate of 'Illiteracy' in rural India closes many doors for 'form filling' user surveys. This leads to the scope of research for understanding specific cultural traits that may effect adaptation and re-improvisation of these existing methodologies. Quite often the cultural traits of a country may lead in forming new research methodologies.

All research methodologies have a certain research purpose and application range. Therefore, it cannot be conclusively said that some methodologies are superior. Each research methodology has only different research purposes and application ranges. The various theories and methodologies related to the study of Chinese dialect sounds have not been in a confrontational relationship with each other. But the need for analysis of new phenomena has led to the emergence of new methodologies and it has been deepening the depth of the study together, supplementing the theories of the past. The emergence of new theories and methodologies has not only always provided another means for dialect analysis methods, but has also deepened awareness of the changing rules of dialects, the interrelationships between rules and the causes of change. The Chinese dialect is richly embedded in various phenomena that can be seen in human languages. In analyzing the phenomenon of the Chinese dialect, we should first closely observe and judge whether it is the result of internal historical changes in the dialect itself or changes formed by contact or influence with the external dialect, and apply the analytical method accordingly. Sometimes there is a phenomenon formed by a number of complex factors, not one, that requires a comprehensive analysis that combines a variety of theories and methodologies.

Korea Electric Power Research Institute has developed the in-house safety analysis methodologies for non-LOCA(Loss Of Coolant Accident) events based on codes and methodologies of vendors and Electric Power Research Institute . According to the new methodologies, analyses of system responses and calculation of DNBR(Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio) during the transient have been carried out with RETRAN code and a sub-channel analysis code, respectively. However, it takes too much time to calculate DNBR for each case using the two codes to search for the limiting case from sensitivity study. To simplify the search for the limiting case, accordingly, RETRAN code has been modified to roughly calculate DNBR using hot channel modeling. The W-3 correlation is already included in RETRAN as one of the auxiliary DNBR models. However, WRB-1 and WRB-2 correlations required to analyze some Westinghouse type fuels are not considered in RETRAN DNBR models. In this paper, the RETRAN DNBR models using the correlations have been developed and the partial and complete loss of forced reactor coolant flow events have been analyzed for Yonggwang units 1 and 2 with the new methodologies to validate the models. The results of the analyses have been compared with those mentioned in the chapter 15 of the Final Safety Analysis Report.

Multidisciplinary design optimization methodologies play an essential role in modern engineering design which involves many inter-related disciplines. These methodologies usually require very long computing time and design tasks are hard to finish within a specified design cycle time. Parallel processing can be effectively utilized to reduce the computing time. The research on the parallel computing performance of MDO methodologies has been just begun and developing. This study investigates performances of MDF, IDF, SAND and CO among MDO methodologies in view of parallel computing. Finally, the best out of four methodologies is suggested for parallel processing purpose.

We survey 3,857 journal articles published on the four domestic academic journals in the industrial engineering field during 1975~2012. Titles, abstracts, and keywords of the papers are searched by means of text mining technique to draw the information on the methodologies and techniques adopted in the papers, and then we aggregate and merge similar ones to obtain final 38 representative methodologies and techniques. Trends of these methodologies and techniques are studied by analyzing frequencies, clustering, and finding association rules among them. Results of the paper can shed a light to choose tools in the future education and research in the industrial engineering related area.

The Agile methodology is a new trend in software development. Nowadays enterprises have been adopting the agile methodology in an effort to deal effectively with rapidly changing user requirements. In most cases, much improvement was accomplished in the software development. Some studies have mentioned that the motivation of software developers is a contributing factor on the improvement. However, it is not known yet what aspects of the agile methodology get them to be motivated. The aims of this study are the comparison between the traditional methodologies and agile methodology and look into potential motivation of software developer and their jobcharacteristics. For the empirical analyzing, research data were collected by 77 developers of 4 domestic IT companies. The analysis shows that there is significant differences on developer's potential motivation according to what kind of methodology is used. Agile developers to be more motivated than others methodologies developers. It also shows in detail that what kinds of job characteristics of developer are different among them depending on methodologies.

This paper proposes the newly developed a classification scheme for Management of Technology (MOT) research, by analyzing research papers published in major academic journals of MOT. To refine our proposed classification, we conducted a contents analysis after collecting 696 papers published in 11 major international journals and 2 representative domestic journals including Journal of Korean Technology Innovation Society, from 2006 to 2012. Our findings show that this classification scheme is composed of total 8 methodologies within each research design such as conceptual qualitative, empirical qualitative, conceptual quantitative, and conceptual quantitative researches. In addition, we provide research reviews based on characteristics between 1) domestic and foreign researchers, 2) domestic and international journals, and 3) different major domestic journals as follows. Firstly, the underlying trends of research design and methodologies in MOT research are concentrated in empirical studies regardless of the origin of researchers and journals. However, the proportion of theoretical discussion in the international journals is higher than that of theoretical discussion in the domestic journals. Secondly, there are many more empirical qualitative researches and archival researches written in the Journal of Korean Technology Innovation Society, whereas the proportion of empirical quantitative research and conceptual research published in the Journal of Technology Innovation is higher than that. From the results, this paper will contribute to choosing research designs and methodologies more suitable to research purpose for future MOT researchers and provide the direction for concrete systematic approach on research designs and methodologies.

Weapon System effectiveness indices are a key factor to the cost-effectiveness analysis in the process of allocating national resources in an optimal fashion. First part of this paper reviews the need of weapon -effectiveness indices, historical development of methodologies on military strength evaluation with various models of indices, and the interrelation-ship between weapon effectiveness indices and war-game. Second part of this paper analyzes the concepts and usage of the already developed methodologies, i .e., index of power, weapon lethality index (W.L.I.), index of fire power potential (I.F.P), fire power potential (F. P. P), and weapon effectiveness indices/weighted unit value (W. E. I/W. U. V.). Finally, weaknesses and limits of these methodologies are compared and evaluated. Result of this research shows that the W. L. I, I. F. P, and F. P. P seem to possess many non-scientific or ambiguous facets, but the W. E. I/W. U. V method produces more detailed, inclusive, and reasonable indices. The paper concludes with the emphasis on the importance of the provision of the theoretical bases to develop effectiveness indices which can be used to evaluate Korean weapon systems, and the early establishment of a specialized research group to manage and develop methodologies on the weapon effectiveness indices.
