We consider a reverse supply chain with a production facility and a recovery facility, and address the joint control of production and disposal decisions for sustainable operations. Demands are satisfied from on-hand inventory of serviceable products, replenished via manufacturing or remanufacturing. Sold products may be returned after usage and each returned product is disposed of or accepted for recovery. Accepted returned products are converted into serviceable products after remanufacturing process. Formulating the model as a Markov decision process, we characterized the structure of the optimal production and disposal policy as two monotone switching curves under a special condition. Three types of heuristic policies are presented and their performance is numerically compared.

The Adoption/Diffusion of Innovations(New Product), a topic of study and research that has frown rapidly in the past few decades, deals with how a new product is adopted in a society. It is of high importance to marketing organizations because New Products must be brought out continuously in order to service. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Adoption/Diffusion Models for New product which will help to analyze the Adoption/Diffusion process of Adopters. There are a number of models that, with varying degrees of success, have been used to predict market acceptance of new product. In this paper, following types of new product Adoption/Diffusion Models was suggested. (1) Adoption Models : The Alternative Models of Adoption. The Rogers Model of the Innovation Decision Process.

This study analyzed the diffusion process of digital convergence products focused on camera phon to compare the traditional adoption-diffusion model with use-diffusion model proposed by Shih and Venkatesh(2004). The results suggested that observability, perceived usefulness, innovativeness, relative advantage have effects on the intention of repurchase in the adoption-diffusion model. On the other hand, the intention of repurchase has been affected by technological sophistication, satisfaction, innovativeness, relative advantage in the use-diffusion model. These results imply that the traditional adoption-diffusion model could be applied to the cases of the digital convergence products. In addition, the results also show that the use-diffusion model is superior to the traditional model in analyzing the diffusion of digital convergence products.

In this study, the relationships of factors influencing the ways alternative types of new digital products are accepted into the market will be structuralized. On the basis of previous research, it is assumed that customers intend to use alternative types of new digital products when they have a higher value than existing products. The consumer's feeling of attraction toward the product is another factor included in the evaluation of its quality. And the attraction of the products that the consumers feel is also included in the evaluation of the qualities of the product. The results of the study indicate first that a product's value affects its attraction, but not the usage intention of the customer. Second, the benefits of the product affect the customer's recognition of its value, while cost does not. Third, environment affects recognition by the customer of the product's attraction, while knowledge of the product does not. By structuralizing the factors that influence the customer's usage intention about alternative types of new digital devices, the causal relationships of the factors involved in the acceptance of new products into the market and their success can be comprehended.

This study is concerned with the factors that influence the radicalness of new product development by firms. The innovativeness of firms' new product development differs in their frequency and radicalness. Based on previous research on product innovations, this study provides a hypothetical model that links firms' internal variables and external relations variables to the radicalness of product innovation, which in turn is linked to marketing performance. For an empirical analysis, the data were collected from South Korean firms. The result of this study provides evidence that the stronger is firms' management attitude toward risk taking, marketing competency, and technical competency, the higher is the possibility of radical product innovation. It also shows that, contrarily to the hypothesis, firms with collective reward system rather than individual reward system are more likely to develop radically new products. This study also shows that the better are firms' R & D collaboration with suppliers and interfaces with customers, the higher is the possibility of radical product innovation.

With the launch of Artificial Intelligence(AI)-based intelligent products on the market, innovative changes are taking place not only in business but also in consumers' daily lives. Intelligent products have the potential to realize technology differentiation and increase market competitiveness through advanced functions of artificial intelligence. However, there is no new product development methodology that can sufficiently reflect the characteristics of artificial intelligence for the purpose of developing intelligent products with high market acceptance. This study proposes a KANO-QFD integrated model as a methodology for intelligent product development. As a specific example of the empirical analysis, the types of consumer requirements for hair loss prediction and treatment device were classified, and the relative importance and priority of engineering characteristics were derived to suggest the direction of intelligent medical product development. As a result of a survey of 130 consumers, accurate prediction of future hair loss progress, future hair loss and improved future after treatment realized and viewed on a smartphone, sophisticated design, and treatment using laser and LED combined light energy were realized as attractive quality factors among the KANO categories. As a result of the analysis based on House of Quality of QFD, learning data for hair loss diagnosis and prediction, micro camera resolution for scalp scan, hair loss type classification model, customized personal account management, and hair loss progress diagnosis model were derived. This study is significant in that it presented directions for the development of artificial intelligence-based intelligent medical product that were not previously preceded.
