Despite voluminous studies on knowledge utilization, we can easily find that empirical studies in the area of knowledge utilization have suffered from several critical problems. Most importantly, there appears to be serious conceptual and methodological gaps that need to be filled. Further, the knowledge utilization field gives remarkably little attention to the systematic accumulation of knowledge from research studies. The purpose of this study is to critically examine studies from the 1990s and to see how they cope with the issue of measuring knowledge utilization and to offer some suggestions for future studies. In this regard, this study focuses on the two questions: What conceptual work has been done in the area of knowledge utilization over the past ten years? What have been the major advances in the area of measuring knowledge utilization? An in-depth analysis of research studies shows that the studies done in the 1990s made little conceptual advancement. Consequently, the field of knowledge utilization still needs to improve methodology, especially clarifying the concept of use and developing relevant measures of it. As an alternative way of measuring knowledge utilization this study offers a process approach.

The study seeks to identify changes in overall picture of domestic Internet use and socio-demographic groups that led to that change based on the survey results of 2002, a period when the internet has become widely available and 2005. In addition to that, the study also examines general trends and changes in Internet use by pinpointing aspects of changes and groups leading the changes during the same period according to ten major Internet activities. As a result, Internet usage rate has increased by 99.6 percent in Korea over the last three years. Dependency rate and engagement rate have risen by 50.7 percent and 36.7 percent respectively, higher growth rates compared to Internet connection rate of 22.6 percent during the same period. The socio-demographic groups that took the lead in the growth have turned out to be women and people in their 10s and 20s. In regional perspective, small cities and rural areas have shown a relatively high growth in Internet use, dependency and experience while Seoul and the other large metropolitan areas have registered a steeper rise in engagement rate. In terms of Internet activities, e-shopping has recorded the highest engagement rate followed by current e-news and work-related use. e-school, online games, online friends and e-government have all grown twice as much as in 2002.

This research has been done to understand the factors that have influence on information system audit and project performance. We focused on audit service factors and contextual factors which are supposed to affect audit quality, especially, due to audit quality factors indicating some influence on audit and project performance. Audit contextual factors is the environmental factors of audit. This research investigates whether some auditor's quality affects to audit purpose and customer's satisfaction or not. Therefore, We need to develop measure for audit service quality and audit fidelity. Also we need to examine closely the effect of information system audit fidelity on the customer satisfaction or audit purpose. Also Whether this audit fidelity has effect on the result of audit and customer satisfaction or not. Also this audit fidelity has effect on the performance of SI project. As the result of this research, we noticed that audit quality factors are related with project performance and audit quality could improve the performance of audit and project performance. Therefore, this research has contributed to showing the factors(Contextual Factors and Service Factors) that affect audit performance and project performance. Specialy we noticed that proposed environment factors has contributed to choose good audit company.
