This study explores the partnership between government and human service nonprofits in the United States from the perspective of resource dependence theory and extends the theory with system dynamics in order to better explain government-nonprofit service delivery. The article is structured as follows. First, I introduce the historical development of the government-nonprofit partnership in service delivery in the United States. Second, I present an overview of resource dependence theory for government-nonprofit service delivery, including assumptions, key elements, claims, how well it explains the government-nonprofit service delivery, and limitations. Third, I highlight the advantages of system dynamics along with the limitations of resource dependence theory, as an attempt to revise the theory. Finally, I conclude with a summary and suggestions for the next steps in theoretical development and research.

It is widely confirmed that online retailers can obtain crucial resources and greater growth potential by depending on the external web portal sites as it is explained in resource dependence theory. Nevertheless, recent studies show that the effect of dependence may not always be beneficial for firms and stress the importance of finding relevant contingent factors. In this study, we identify and suggest that firms' age and niche width strategy, whether generalist or specialist, are contributing factors on moderating the positive relationship between resource dependence and firm growth. To test our hypotheses based on the theory, we have collected monthly web traffic data of online retailers and portals from March 2000 and July 2008. The empirical results lend support to our theory of the firm age having a negative interaction effect on web traffic dependence. Moreover, results verified that positive effect of depending on the portals may become greater if the online retailer is a specialist in terms of niche width.

Purpose - The main feature of this study is understanding of the vendor's opportunism on the collaboration context between buyer and vendor from the buyer's viewpoint with resource dependence theory. A number of studies on opportunism have focused on opportunistic definitions and its theoretical studies. Other researches emphasize the importance of governance in ways that reduce opportunism. We think that this research could be filled with the lack of previous studies. Research design, data, and methodology - In order to accomplish research purpose, four hypotheses have been established based on the framework of resource dependence theory and previous studies. And we have used 599 survey data jointly collected by Korea Productivity Center and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. To verify these hypothesis, we have conducted multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23.0. Results - The vendor 's opportunism decreases as mutual trust with buyer becomes higher. However, as the degree of dependence of buyers on vendor resources increases, vendor's opportunism increases. And monitoring vendor's capacity has a moderating effect with buyer resource dependency to vendor's opportunism. Conclusions - This study suggest there are two options to decrease vendor's opportunism. Increasing mutual trust or decrease dependence on vendor's resources. Also, monitoring suppler's capacity could be effective when vendor's resource dependence is high.

Purpose - This study aims to seek determinants of department store sales commission rates under consignment contracts based on transaction cost theory, the power-dependence view, and the resource-based view. A consignment contract is a unique contract where the retailer, over a given period, takes possession of goods owned by a supplier, promotes the sales of these goods, and receives a profit share from their sales. Under this contract, the supplier owns the goods until they are sold. In department stores in South Korea, over 70% of overall sales comes through consignment contracts. In other words, this is the most popular contract agreement between large retailers and vendors in South Korea. Consignment contracts yield high profits to department stores with minimal sales uncertainty, stock cost, and marketing investment. Many suppliers believe the consignment contract commission rates are too high. However, department stores disagree. They state that the commissions are not high as they generate new value for the suppliers by accumulating up-to-date merchandise and supporting various marketing programs on their behalf. Recently, consignment contracts have been critically examined and scrutinized by politicians, mass media, and the public of Korea. This study further intends to derive implications reflecting both buyer and seller perspectives as well as offer insights to policy makers in making appropriate decisions. Research design, data, and methodology - To verify the proposed research model and test hypotheses, the authors selected 164 suppliers, which currently have relationships with department stores. This study carefully investigated the reliability, content validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the proposed model. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS structural equation modeling program Results - For the transaction cost theory and the power-dependence view, the results indicated that product diversity and demand volatility had a positive impact on the sales dependence on a department store. Dependence in turn had a positive effect on the sales commission under the consignment contract. Based on the resource-based view, the department store's marketing capability, the supplier's perception toward merchandising, and supporting activities could enhance the department store's channel leadership in the buyer-seller relationship. Subsequently, the channel leadership had a positive effect on the sales commission. However, product complexity had no relationship with department store dependence. Conclusions - This is the first empirical research that investigates the determinants of sales commissions under consignment contracts in the domestic retail industry. This study reveals several theoretical and practical implications for both marketing scholars and marketers. In terms of theoretical implication, this study integrated and enlarged certain theoretical background, such as transaction cost theory, the power-dependence view, and the resource-based view, to explain the determinants of sales commissions under consignment contracts that include sales revenue. From a business management viewpoint, this research offers useful insights for policy makers by applying two different perspectives, both the manufacturer and the retailer, in terms of the sales commission issue under a consignment contract.

한국 정부의 중소기업 육성정책은 대기업에 대해 중소기업을 보호하고 육성한다는 전통적 정책 기조를 탈피하여 중소기업 성장 기반 확충 및 고도화를 통한 혁신형 중소기업 육성 쪽으로 변모하고 있다. 본 연구는 혁신형 중소기업을 대상으로 하여 기업의 연구개발 역량과 벤처기업 인증 획득이 글로벌 기술경쟁력 강화에 유의한 영향을 미치는가를 자원기반이론(resource-based theory) 및 자원의존이론(resource dependence theory)을 통해 설명해 보고자 한다. 자원기반이론에 따르면 기업이 보유하고 있는 유·무형 자원 및 연구개발 역량의 차이에 따라 기술혁신 활동이나 기술혁신의 성과가 결정된다. 한편 자원의존이론에서는 중소기업을 정책적으로 지원하기 위한 정부의 인증제도는 혁신에 필요한 유·무형 자원에 대한 접근성을 높임으로써 중소기업의 혁신 활동과 혁신성과에 긍정적으로 작용한다고 주장한다. 본 연구는 연구개발 역량과 정부의 벤처인증이 글로벌 기술경쟁력에 미치는 직접 효과를 살펴보는 것에서 한발 더 나아가 중소기업이 개발한 주력제품 수명주기의 조절 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 여기서 조절 변수로써 제품의 수명주기는 연구개발 역량과 벤처기업 인증의 경쟁력 강화 효과에 상반되는 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 중소기업 기술 통계조사(2020) 자료에 기반한 실증 연구는 연구개발 역량과 벤처기업 인증의 글로벌 기술경쟁력에의 직접 효과와 제품수명주기의 상반된 조절 효과를 지지한다. 내부자원 활용의 기술경쟁력 효과는 제품수명주기가 길 때 커지는 반면 벤처인증을 통한 외부자원 활용의 기술경쟁력 효과는 제품수명주기가 짧을 때 커진다는 연구 결과는 연구개발, 기술혁신, 그리고 경영성과 간의 관계를 연구하는 데 있어 제품수명주기가 중요한 맥락 변수로 고려되어야 함을 시사한다. 또한 제품의 수명주기가 비약적으로 짧아지고 있는 글로벌 경쟁환경에서 업력과 규모에 있어 이중의 불리함을 극복해야 하는 혁신형 중소기업이 글로벌 기술경쟁력을 확보해 나가기 위해서는 내부적 연구역량 강화뿐 아니라 외부 자원의 확보 전략에도 집중해야 함을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 자원의존이론을 이용하여 사외이사 비중과 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 겸임 효과가 하이테크 산업에 속해 있는 국내 상장기업의 인수합병 성과에 미치는 영향을 2004년부터 2012년까지 수행된 인수합병거래 246개를 대상으로 실증 분석하였다. 분석결과에 따르면, 사외이사 비중은 인수합병 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 최고경영자가 이사회 의장직을 겸임하는 경우 인수합병 성과에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 사외이사의 비중과 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 겸임이 지닌 상호작용의 효과를 살펴본 결과, 최고경영자가 이사회 의장직을 겸임하는 경우 사외이사의 비중이 인수합병 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이사회 의장이 독립적인 지위를 가지는 경우 사외이사의 비중이 인수합병 성과에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 연구결과의 타당성을 확보하기 위해 상호작용항을 통한 회귀분석 및 다양한 사건기간을 대상으로 실증분석을 수행하여 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 최고경영자가 이사회 의장직을 겸임하는 경우 리더십 강화 및 조직 내 지휘체계 확립으로 인해 기업 외부의 이해관계자로부터 정당성을 확보하게 된다. 이를 통해 이사회의 자원의존 기능이 강화되며 인수합병 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석된다. 반대로 이사회 의장이 독립적인 지위를 가지는 경우 최고경영자의 최고책임자로서의 외부 정당성이 약화된다. 따라서 이사회의 자원의존 기능이 감소되고 인수합병 성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 기존의 선행연구에서는 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 분리의 긍정적인 효과에 대해서 주목하였다면, 본 연구에서는 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 겸임의 긍정적인 효과를 실증적으로 보여주었다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다고 생각한다.

Electronic Data Interchange(EDI) has the potential to improve business operations by expediting the exchange of business documents. It will also provide substantive operational and strategic benefits to the trading firms. However, the successful implementation of EDI systems requires the mutual trust and cooperation between the trading firms. The extent of EDI diffusion and performance depends on inter-organizational, intra-organizational, as well as innovation factors. Researches based on the sociopolitical process framework in the use of IT, organizational theory, resource dependence theory, and innovation diffusion theory have identified 3 inter-organizational variables(transaction climate, dependence, external IS expert support) and 4 intra-organizational variables(strategic IS planning, infrastructure, top management support, education/training,), and 3 innovation variables(compatibility, relative advantage, cost) that affect EDI diffusion. In this study, a multi-dimensional measure on EDI diffusion has been developed to capture the external and internal integration. Then, the influence of these 10 variables on the extent to which the EDI adopting firms pursue diffusion has been examined. Whether more diffusion leads to superior performance has also been studied. International trade managers from 107 firms in the trade industry participated in a field survey. The results based on a structural equation model(SEM), developed using AMOS, provide quite a strong support for the hypothesized relations. Both education/training and IT infrastructure influenced external and internal diffusion of EDI systems. Internal diffusion of EDI enables the adopting firms to improve operational and strategic performance, whereas external diffusion contributes only to operational performance.

Purpose - The main purpose of this study is to test two competing hypotheses on the relationship between foreignness and corporate philanthropy drawing on the resource dependence theory. Design/methodology/approach - This study used Korean Enterprsie Survey data constructed by Korean Statistical Information Service. This study employed both OLS and Tobit models to test the hypotheses. Findings - A conventional wisdom can argue that MNC subsidiaries are more willing to give charitable donations than local firms do because they may perceive philanthropy in the host country is a good opportunity to reduce liabilities of foreignness (H1-1). On the other hand, one can argue that MNC subsidiaries are less willing to give charitable donations than local firms do because they have operational flexibility when they are coerced to engage in corporate philanthropy by host country government stakeholders (H1-2). Empirical results support the prediction that MNC subsidiaries are less likely to give charitable donations than local firms do in Korea. Research implications or Originality - Our findings can provide useful insights to researchers and managers in the sense that MNC managers can increase or decrease their charitable donations depending on the institutional contingencies in different host countries. These institutional contingencies are particularly important within a transforming context such as Korea.
