A Case Study on Venture and Small-Business Executives' Use of Strategic Intuition in the Decision Making Process This paper is a case study on how Venture and Small-Business Executives managers can take advantage of their intuitions in situations where the business environment is increasingly uncertain, a novel situation occurs without any data to reflect on, when rational decision-making is not possible, and when the business environment changes. The case study is based on a literature review, in-depth interviews with 16 business managers, and an analysis of Klein, G's (1998) "Generic Mental Simulation Model." The "intuition" discussed in this analysis is classified into two types of intuition: the Expert Intuition which is based on one's own experiences, and Strategic Intuition which is based on the experience of others. Case study strategic management intuition and intuition, the experts were utilized differently. Features of professional intuition to work quickly without any effort by, while the strategic intuition, is time-consuming. Another feature that has already occurred, one expert intuition in decision-making about the widely used strategic intuition was used a lot in future decision-making. The case study results revealed that managers were using expert intuition and strategic intuition differentially. More specifically, Expert Intuition was activated effortlessly, while strategic intuition required more time. Also, expert intuition was used mainly for making judgments about events that have already happened, while strategic intuition was used more often for judgments regarding events in the future. The process of strategic intuition involved (1) Strategic concerns, (2) the discovery of medium, (3) Primary mental simulation, (4) The offsetting of key parameters, (5) secondary mental simulation, and (6) the decision making process. These steps were used to develop the "Strategic Intuition Decision-making Model" for Venture and Small-Business Executives. The case study results further showed that firstly, the success of decision-making was determined in the "secondary mental simulation' stage, and secondly, that more difficulty in management was encountered when expert intuition was used more than strategic intuition and lastly strategic intuition is possible to be educated.

Traditionally social problems had been largely left to be handled by non-profit organizations, not because of lack of interests in social causes but mostly because of lack of innovative ideas to solve them in commercially viable ways. This market failure has recently been fixed by social enterprises, which manage to provide both solutions for social issues and commercially viable business models. As a result, we have been witnessing a sudden spike of public interests in these social enterprises as well as a call for empirical investigation on social enterprises by prior studies. However, empirically investigating a social enterprise has been a challenging endeavor mostly due to the insufficient number of successful social enterprises. Answering to the call in this study, we empirically investigate Goyohan Taxi, a successful social enterprise that partners with visually impaired cabdrivers and offers a taxi service, by both longitudinally interviewing the founder and adopting in vivo observation throughout the entrepreneurial journey of Goyohan Taxi. Based on the single case study method, we find that Goyohan Taxi adopts two distinctive decision-making mechanisms, the de-escalation of commitment and the orthogonality of commercial and social goals. Although generalizability of the our finding is minimal due to the limitation of single case study method, our finding contributes to the research of social entrepreneurship by offering new avenue of research in decision-making process of social entrepreneurs.

IT 에 대한 비즈니스 의존성이 증가하면서, 안정된 IT 서비스의 제공과 비용 효과적인 운영의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. ITIL 에서는 효율적이고 신속한 변경 처리를 위해 Service Support 영역에서 변경 관리 프로세스를 제시하고 있다. 하지만 고비용을 요하는 CAB 의 소집 여부 등 의사 결정이 변경 관리자의 자의적인 판단에 의존함으로써, 다른 비즈니스 및 안정된 IT 서비스 제공의 위험요소로 작용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 요청된 변경 사안이 신중한 검토가 필요한 지 여부를 객관적으로 판단할 수 있도록, 판별분석기법을 적용한 변경 모델 결정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 모델의 유효성을 검증하기 위해, 실제 운영에 적용된 변경 관리 모델과 제안된 모델을 이용했을 때의 결과를 비교하고 그 결과를 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 동일한 사안에 대하여 일관성 있는 결정을 도출할 수 있어 프로세스 품질개선에 기여할 수 있으며, 궁극적으로 안정된 IT 서비스 제공에 기여하여 기업성과를 개선할 수 있을 것이다.

최근 들어 단순 보관의 기능만을 가지고 있던 기존의 냉동창고가 보관뿐만 아니라, 규격화된 유통시스템을 갖추어 전체 물류 공급망 관리의 효율성과 경쟁력을 갖추고자 한다. 이를 위해 라디오 주파수를 이용하여 움직이는 물체를 인식, 추적, 분류할 수 있는 기술인 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)를 적용할 수 있다. 그러나 RFID 기술을 도입하기 위해서는 여러 시나리오를 통해 최적의 실행 방안을 도출해 내야하며, 이를 바탕으로 자동화 프로세스를 지원해 줄 수 있는 RFID 애플리케이션을 개발할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 기술을 적용하여 최적화된 비즈니스 프로세스를 지원하는 냉동창고 관리 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 냉동창고 업무 프로세스를 분석하고 RFID 기술 도입에 따른 의사 결정이 필요한 설계요소들을 식별한다. 식별된 설계요소들은 RFID 배치 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 RFID 데이터가 비즈니스 프로세스에 통합되는 과정에 대하여 그 효율성을 판단할 수 있게 한다.

Keen competence in business environments induces companies to introduce Supply Chain Management (SCM), which is accelerated by emerging information technology. Consequently, supply chain integration requires interacting and information sharing among the companies participating in the supply chain. Web services, platform independent technologies, are recently used for SCM. However, web services themselves do not provide high level supply chain integration. Therefore, the ways to control and manage global processes over supply chain need to be developed. In this paper, we introduce a method of executing and managing supply chain process using Business Process Management (BPM) system. BPM system is a software system to support an efficient execution and management of complex business processes, and it is applied to supply chain processes . The supply chain processes can be regarded network of activities, each of which is served as web service and related to one of the participants. Our approach enables not only efficient managing but also effective monitoring of the process, which can be a good basis for improvement of the processes. For a speedy execution of processes, we provide a method to support decision making in course of executing process by software agents, which are also web services.

As cloud services and deployment models become diverse, there are a growing number of cloud computing selection options. Therefore, financial companies need a methodology to select the appropriated cloud for each financial computing system. This study adopted the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework to classify factors for the introduction of cloud computing in financial companies. Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the evaluation items are layered into the performance perspective and the cloud consideration factor and a comprehensive decision model is proposed. To verify the proposed research model, a system of financial company is divided into three: account, information, and channel system, and the result of decision making by both financial business experts and technology experts from two financial companies were collected. The result shows that some common factors are important in all systems, but most of the factors considered are very different from system to system. We expect that our methodology contributes to the spread of cloud computing adoption.

Nowadays, several nontraditional machining(NTM) processes are widely used to machine a complex and accurate shape part of hard materials, such as titanium, ceramics, high strength temperature resistant and refractory materials which are difficult to machine and having high strength, hardness, toughness. Machining of these complex shapes in such materials by traditional machining processes are very difficult. The NTM processes is important in the areas of micro- and nano scale machining, where high accuracy and superior surface characteristics are required, which can only be achieved using these NTM processes. So, for effective selection of different NTM processes, careful decision making for a given NTM application is often necessary. An appropriate NTM process for a given material and shape condition is very difficult for the novice engineers. In this paper, an expert system based on an analytic network process(ANP) is suggested for a best selection of NTM process in a NTM application considering an prior interdependency effect among various factors.

There are currently several workflow software products on the market, and they vary in their capabilities and features. Since there is no single workflow product that dominates others in all aspects, it is difficult to evaluate their superiority. Few methods are available about their selection. This paper suggests a decision support method for selecting the most appropriate workflow software products using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method. We prioritize the importance of four classes of workflow applications as well as 13 commercial products.
