...Downloaded By: [Schmelich, Volker] At: 10:58 11 March 2010 Focus THEME COMPETITIVESTRATEGY FOR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE In many respects, Korean economy has been coordinated by the visible hand of the government. The world economy is becoming a borderless one, which directly affects the Korean economy driving it into an open economy. The rising cost of production factors, wage rates, interest rates, and land costs stalls economic growth. Both internal and external economic environment casts doubt over the prospects of the Korean economy. Both public and private sectors are looking for ways to maintain their competitive edge by improving economic efficiency, and one of those efforts is the use of IT. They are making an utmost effort to build the information-communication infrastructure, and promoting EC to explore new business opportunities. Various efforts are being made to facilitate the diffusion of the EC in Korea. The diffusion of proprietary EC within a conglomerate may be made quickly with little trouble. The IOS or EC within a conglomerate is highly likely to be a closed one, which is not unusual among Korean conglomerates. This may result in a situation that goes against global technological future: an open EC system. Korean corporates have recently devoted a vast amount of effort to business process reengineering using IT to improve efficiency. In contrasts, SMEs lack appropriate IT skills requirrd for such innovative movements. This may result...

...August 26, 2014 Part One Final Project This project takes a look at implementing a new software application process for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Outdoor Advertising Office (ODA), the stakeholders that will be affected by the new software, its expectations, the data methods that will be used, and the ground work involved. This software program is definitely needed and I believe that all parties involved will be pleased with its results. Scope and Purpose Georgia Department of Transportation Outdoor Advertising (ODA) is a department that allows companies to build billboard structures along the State of Georgia’s Right of Way. The application process is a two-part tedious process that includes a 7-page application for a Sign Permit and a 16-page application for a Vegetation Permit. Both applications require several other pages of documentation as well. Currently the process is based on a lot of paper pushing and the department would like to make it web accessible allowing applications to be uploaded on line for review including the capability for applicants to make all payments online also. Currently everything is submitted via the mail or walked into our office. Making the application web based will not only save the organization time and excessive amounts of paper but it will do the same for customers and even reduce the turn-around time for application processing (GDOT, 2014). Stakeholders There are five stakeholders involved in this action research...
