The objectives of this paper are to identify the causes of the corporate distress and to develop a distress prediction model with the financial information in fishery industry. In this study, the corporate distress is defined as economic failure and technical insolvency. Economic failure occurs by reduction, shut-down, or change of the business and technical insolvency results from failure to pay the financial debt of companies. The 33 distressed firms from 1991 to 2003 were composed by 14 economic failure companies, 15 technical insolvency companies. 4 companies applied to the both cases. The analysis of distress prediction of fishery companies were accomplished according to the distress definition. The analysis was carried out as two steps. The first step was the univariate analysis, which was used for checking the prediction power of individual financial variable. The t-test is used to identify the differences in financial variables between the distressed group and the non-distressed group. The second step was to develop distress prediction model with logistic regression. The variables showed the significant difference in univariate analysis were selected as the prediction variables. The financial ratios, used in the logistic regression model, were selected by backward elimination method. To test stability of the distress prediction model, the whole sample was divided as three sub-samples, period 1(1990$\sim$1993), period 2(1994$\sim$1997), period 3(1998$\sim$2002). The final model built from whole sample appled each three sub-samples. The results of the logistic analysis were as follows. the growth, profitability, stability ratios showed the significant effect on the distress. the some different result was found in the sub-sample (economic failure and technical insolvency). The growth and the profitability were important to predict the economic failure. The profitability and the activity were important to predict technical insolvency. It means that profitability is the really important factor to the fishery companies.

The public employers are faced the mounting importance of decision process to settle the optimum VE delivery system of such public facilities buildings and etc. The elements of decision process of the public employer are formed in the various relationships of the concerned and when the projects are coming into effect, the decision process in the VE delivery method and the selection of contractor will be the name of the game. The decision process in the VE delivery method and the selection of contractor are created a case to be one and the same as well as initiates a consistency for the performance. However, the function and role of the public employer are projective accordingly to the organization of employer and the employer especially no system is equal to the capability of perfect evaluation and verification of the ability of the employer. Especially the lowest bidder policy that started with justification to increase the competitiveness and technical capability of the contractors through the completion in between contractors has been providing the hotbed for insolvency, irregularity and irrationality as a result. From this point of view it is declared that the buildup the edifice of supporting system in the process of decision to recover the mutual trust and respect of the concerned in the VE delivery system with the technostress and the systematization based on drawing the elements which affect the decision process of public employer.
