The ultimate objectives of the six sigma activities are to raise quality of products to the level where customers can be satisfied and to improve marketing efficiency through cost reduction. Recently, many businesses have been struggling to find out the most successful way to implement the six sigma to produce better results. This study is significant in a way that it provides readers with an actual evidence of efficiency and effectiveness of six sigma activities in marketing performance for the first time. The major data of this study can be divided into two categories ; First, secondary data research method was utilized to find out the effects of six sigma management on the quality and marketing performances, theoretically and empirically. Second, test of established hypotheses relevant to the effects of six sigma management on the quality and marketing performance based on the propositions drawn from existing literatures, and test hypotheses statistically. This study of six sigma looked into benefits in manufacturing industry in terms of improving quality, cutting cost and decreasing defection product-defect rate. In addition, the study has verified that how the quality performances can affect the marketing performances, such as enhancing corporate image, sales increase and customer satisfaction. The author believes that this study will help many businesses acquire best methods to increase sales and profits. And, business manager will be able to understand where to focus as they proceed with the six sigma project and improve corporate competitiveness.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of process approach for business performance of a company certified with ISO 9000 : 2000 quality management system. The result of this empirical research were identified as follows. Documentation a

This paper aimed to examine core factors of the knowledge management and analyze their effects on organizational performance (employee satisfaction and competitive advantage). To accomplish this purpose, this study examined previous studies and summarized

The growth and survival of a enterprise depend upon its proper strategic capability against the rapid change in environment. The enterprise that well accommodates the changing environment and properly uses the resources will continue its growth. The problems in accommodating business environment are how to focus the limited manufacturing strategy on certain point. The manufacturing innovation program receives a large effect in the manufacturing strategy. Consequently it follows the degree with manufacturing innovation program agrees with the manufacturing strategy determine the maximization of the manufacturing and management performance.

Korean Standard Certificate, suitable for the korean industrial standards is one which was designed not only to spread and utilize the industrial standard established for the industrial standardization, but to protect the consumer. In this study, the practical effects of the Korean Standard Certificate will be examined in various fields, based on the small medium enterprises which achieved the KS Certificate. In order to look into how the system has effects on the performance of the management in a company, the method of the actual approach will be used. In the end, the purpose of this study is to find the plan in which KS Certificate can be helpful to the development of the company.

Quality management has been recognized as an important means to secure business competitiveness for management environment changes and competitiveness reinforcement. An effort of an ISO 9001 certification has thought that it is the best way to practice quality management. This paper checks a quality management situation of manufacturing companies that acquired ISO 9001 certification. Then, this paper investigates whether quality management is actual1y contributing to production performance and proposes proper alternatives for an improvement of production performance.

This study reviews the revisions and updates to the Release 3.5 version of the TL 9000 Measurements Handbook. This paper introduces the new organization of QuEST Forum Work Groups(WGs) and how to apply TL 9000 standards in software product lifecycle.

We could not find researches for relationship between safety performance and business performance in comparison with other research areas. Then in this paper we suggest the hypotheses which can systematically explain the relationship between safety performance and business performance and analyze the effects of safety performance on business performance through regression analysis. In order to develop the regression model between safety performance and business performance, the previous studies both for environmental management and for quality management had been reviewed. We obtained the result that the number of the injured persons in occupational accident and the number of lost work day because of the accident which are selected as measurement for safety performance had an effect on business performance through empirical analysis both for large 43 enterprises and for small and medium 30 enterprises. Also we had found that the control variables selectively 3had an effect on business performance. Finally, we concluded that the safety performance had an effect on business performance both for large enterprise and for small and medium enterprise.

합작투자 기업의 지분 구조 변화는 합작 기업에 대한 경영권과 통제권의 변화를 초래한다는 측면에 합작 투자 파트너에게 중요한 의미를 가진다. 합작기업의 경영 성과는 이러한 지분 구조 변화를 비롯한 합작투자 기업의 동태적 구조변화에 중대한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 변수임에도 불구하고 일부 연구에서 지분구조의 변화와 합작 기업의 성과와의 관계에 대한 가설을 제시하는 수준에 그쳐 실증적 뒷받침이 없었을 뿐만 아니라, 그 방향에 대해서도 상반된 예측이 가능하여 이에 대한 엄밀한 실증 연구가 필요하다. 또한 합작투자 기업의 성과가 지분 구조의 변화에 영향을 미침에 있어서 초기 지분 구조가 지분 구조 변화를 용이하게 하거나 어렵게 만드는 조절 변수로서 작용할 가능성에 대해서도 연구된 바가 없다. 이러한 선행연구의 한계를 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 1985년에서 1989년 기간 중 국내에 투자한 합작투자기업을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시하였다. 실증 분석 결과 첫째, 산업평균에 비해 합작투자기업의 성과가 양호하거나 부진할 수록 지분구조의 변화 가능성이 증가하였다. 둘째, 합작투자기업의 성과가 지분구조 변화에 영향을 미침에 있어서 불균등 지분 구조인 기업이 균등 지분 구조인 기업보다 성과로 인한 지분 구조의 변화 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 실증결과에 의거할 때 합작투자기업의 성과와 지분구조의 변화간에는 단순 선형적 관계가 아나라 산업평균과 비교하여 편차가 클수록 지분구조의 변화 가능성이 증가하는 관계가 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 더불어 합작투자기업의 초기 지분구조는 이후 지분구조의 변화를 촉진하거나 억제하는 조절변수로서의 역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 논문의 목적은 안전성과와 경영성과의 영향관계를 체계적으로 설명할 수 있는 모형을 개발하고, 근로자수 300인 이상인 기업 43개와 300인 미만인 30개 기업을 구분해서 개발한 모형을 실증적으로 분석함으로써 모델의 타당성을 분석하는데 있다. 안전성과에 대한 변수는 노동부산하의 한국산업안전공단에서 집계한 재해자 수와 근로손실일 수를 선정하였으며, 경영성과에 대한 자료는 (주)한국신용정보와 (주)매일경제에서 출간하는 상장기업분석자료를 근거로 하여 1인당매출액을 선정하고 조절변수로 사용된 노무비, 경비, 부채비율, 수출비중을 업계평균에 비해 상대적으로 높고 낮은 정도를 높은 기업은 1, 낮은 기업은 0의 값을 지정하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통하여 기업의 특성요인들에 따라 안전성과가 경영성과에 미치는 영향이 다르다는 본 연구의 이론적 모델은 근로자 수가 300인 이상인 국내 대기업의 경우에는 그 타당성을 지닌다고 볼 수 있었다.
