Abstract

This study presents a TOPSIS-based application for the evaluation of administrative purposes on the website of university's departments. As the school age population decreases, the homepage of the university's departments also has important promotional means. However, most of them are not well managed until a full renewal. This is because the investment is difficult compared to strategic importance. Therefore, this paper tries to show its usefulness by applying a partially modified TOPSIS for management purposes, in consideration of the practicality. TOPSIS is appropriate for target management as a conceptual reason to prioritize based on the distance from the ideal target for each criterion. Also, in the case of monotonic functions of the evaluation criteria used, the same results can be obtained by reducing the amount of calculations through a partially modified procedure as presented in this study.

본 연구는 관리적 목적에서 대학의 학과 홈페이지 평가를 위한 TOPSIS 기반의 응용을 제시한다. 학령인구 감소시대를 맞아 대학의 학과 홈페이지는 입시 전략의 관점에서는 중요한 홍보 수단의 의미를 갖는다. 하지만 대부분 리뉴얼과 같은 전면적 개편 전에는 관리가 잘되지 않는다. 비록 입시전략 차원에서 홈페이지 관리는 중요한 일이지만 단순한 관리 목적의 평가에 많은 노력이나 비용을 투자하기는 어렵기 때문이다. 그래서 본 논문은 현실성을 고려하여 관리 목적에서 대학의 학과 홈페이지 평가에 부분적으로 수정된 TOPSIS를 적용하여 그 유용성을 보이고자 한다. TOPSIS는 각 기준에 대한 이상적인 목푯값으로 부터 편차 거리를 기반으로 하여 우선순위를 결정해 주는 개념적 이유로 목표 관리를 위한 평가도구로 사용하기에 합당하다고 본다. 그리고 사용되는 평가 기준들의 방향성이 같은 단조증가 함수 같은 경우 본 연구에서 제시된 바와 같이 부분적으로 수정된 절차를 통하여 계산량을 줄여도 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있다.
