This paper analyzed the effects of industrial property rights on the performances of firms. We also compared their effects on the highly technology oriented firms such as information technology firms with those on the low-tech companies such as agricultural food companies. We also investigated how the CEO's entrepreneurship influenced the effects. For this research, we surveyed 374 venture firms and found some interesting results by analyzing the data using LISREL. First, both the technology innovation capabilities and the market-information orientation positively influence the industrial property rights. The construct of industrial property rights increased the technology commercialization capabilities. The technology commercialization capabilities affected the companies' performances which were measured by the employees' satisfaction and pride for their companies. Second, the technology innovation capabilities, the market-information orientation and technology commercialization capabilities were different depending on the CEO's orientation for entrepreneurship. The higher propensity for the entrepreneurship orientation induced the greater innovation capabilities, the market orientation and technology commercialization capabilities.

Therefore, this research proposes two-strategic directions for changing the tendency of women's entrepreneurs from low value-added industries to high value-added ones. First of all, it is crucial that relevant ministries - higher than the Small and Medium Business Administration(SMBA), be more concerned about utilizing women resources. Secondly, those ministries should expand the support for starting venture businesses of the women whose educational background is higher and who retired from professional fields. This research considers that government promotes the major companies not only to employ women as CEO, but also to support their childbirth and nurturing.

Family-owned businesses are classified according to the method that Nam Yeong-Ho and Moon Sung-Joo applied to divided them in 2006 and 2007. The samples on this study are 2,593 companies derived from Kis-Value Ⅱ and Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer system (DART) from 2002 to 2008. The principal results on this study are as follow below.
First, out of the companies researched, there were more family- owned businesses than non family-owned businesses. Second, Tobin’s Q was lower for family-owned businesses than that of non family -owned businesses. This means that family-owned business is impressive on the company's sales outcome, but family-owned business is lower than non family-owned business on the market value. Third, compared to its the rate of research and development cost, firm age were higher for family-owned businesses and its debt to equality ratio lower than that of non family-owned businesses. On the other hand, the size of the companies of family -owned businesses was smaller. Finally, the result from Regression Analysis through whether the business was family-owned and the controlled values, is said to statistically have positive influence on the ROA(Operating income, EBITDA)-whether the business was family-owned, but statistically have negative influence on the Tobin's Q.

According to Literature reviews, Market orientation is correlated with entrepreneurial orientation . The correlation is especially crucial for small businesses as a result of their limited resource base. However, studies have not adequately accounted for the joint effect of entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on firm performance.

This study analyzed the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on firm performance in the small wholesale-retail sales business. The results says that entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation is not related to firm performance (financial performance in especial). More specifically, market orientation haven't any moderating effect between innovation of entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance in the field. We discuss and suggest managerial implications and this problems through this paper.

Recently there has been also much attention to the partnership from managers, trade ists and labor policy makers in Korea. In retrospect, Korean companies have paid huge social costs stemmed from industrial conflicts, specially 6.29 declaration of democracy of 1987. In order to establish stable industrial relations, the Korean government has built a new form of industrial relations, which is called in the different terms, such as new industrial relations, innovative industrial relations, and new labor management culture. The new form of industrial relations puts an emphasis on labor-management partnership, which aims to achieve cooperative industrial relations and mutual gains to both sides of employers and employees through the successful business.
Despite those widely attentions on the labor-management partnership and numerous studies have been conducted at home and abroad, most of empirical studies about labor-management partnership have been conducted in narrative and qualitative analyses of case study. Therefore we needs to analyze closely which partnership practices affects its supposed outcomes such as company competitiveness.
In this context, the main purpose of this paper is to examine through a systematic analysis the impact on company competitiveness of the labor-management partnership in small and medium-sized enterprises that has been placed at the center of new industrial relations models in the USA and the European countries, such as the UK and Germany.
To accomplish this research objective, 194 labor-management cooperation companies in small and medium-sized firms were randomly ed and surveyed with questionnaire method. The results of the study using collected 77 questionnaires are summarized as follows.
First, labor-management partnership score of labor-management cooperation companies in Korea is slightly high from 3.64 to 4.00(5 point scale). Especially information sharing and investment in training ware high.
Second, fair financial rewards and investment in training have significant effects on the financial organizational performance in the positive direction, but employment security, information sharing, and management participation have no significant effects on the company competitiveness.
Third, I found that fair financial rewards only has significant effects on the nonfinancial organizational performance in the positive direction, but employment security, management participation, investment in training and information sharing have no significant effects on the company competitiveness in small and medium-sized enterprises.
This results show that as Large-scale downsizing layoffs were legalized and irregular workers dramatically increased, the workers' values were moving from lifetime employment to lifelong job.

This paper proposes a company assesment model and a support system called K-EPI which provides support for company assessment on job seeker's major concerning factors on job ion. The proposed system includes four main modules: (1) personalized support for job seeker, (2) company assessment, (3) occupational choice factors management, and (4) company information management. The assessment results can be used not only for recommending job-opening companies to job seekers but also for leveling up company's job-seeker attractiveness by making up for revealed weak points. In the long term perspective, we expect that the korean small and medium enterprises suffered from the human resource shortage will have more chances to hire a new employees easily and that job seekers will be provided a reasonable index for evaluating job-opening alternatives.
