This study analyzed the moderating role of the suitability factors of corporate strategies and information system strategies targeting small and medium sized transportation companies in Korea. The analytical result has found that the suitable factors of corporate strategies and information system strategies play the moderating role in the ERP introduction factors and internal performance. In other words, the suitability factors of corporate strategies and information system strategies were analyzed to play the moderating role in support of CEOs, education/training, users' IT capabilities, standardization/formulation of business, infrastructure of information technologies, and internal performance. The result of this study based on the above analytical results has found that introduction performance will be maximized when ERP packages are introduced in the small and medium-sized transportation companies and corporate strategies properly harmonize with the introduction strategies of ERP packages in the companies.

This paper analyzes the role of strategic fit, cooperation, and performance in small-sized subpart suppliers' interactions with large businesses. For this purpose, this paper analyzes survey data from 90 first-tier suppliers of Samsung Electronics and evaluates how strategic fit and cooperative relationships affect their performance. Empirical analysis suggests that strategic fit positively affects small companies' business and innovation performance. This finding aligns with theories arguing for strategies that accommodate specific business environments. In addition, strategic fit is crucial for innovativeness of SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises). With regard to forming relationships with large companies, findings also show that high quality technological and personnel cooperation boosts subpart suppliers' productivity and efficiency as notably reflected in SMEs' business performance. Moreover, such cooperation between small and large companies reinforces the benefits associated with strategic fit and innovation. This means that if the business environment of small-sized subpart suppliers is uncertain, harnessing differentiated strategies and pursuing collaborations with prime companies will produce innovative outcomes (e.g., increased patent publications). On the other hand, when degree of uncertainty is small, pursuing cost leadership strategies and collaborating with prime companies in areas, such as technology and personnel, will help small-sized subpart suppliers produce innovative outcomes. Based on these findings, this paper argues that choosing the right competitive strategy for a specific business context is intrinsically tied to (1) augmenting technological and human collaborations with prime companies, (2) improving the quality of these interactions, and (3) generating competitiveness among small subpart suppliers. Both competition and cooperation are necessary for strengthening the competitiveness of small companies.

기업이 추구하는 경쟁우위요소에 따라 추구하는 경쟁전략유형을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 또한 경쟁전략유형에 따른 경영품질 수준의 차이도 분석하였다. 그리고 추구하는 경쟁우위요소와 추구하는 경쟁전략유형이 적절히 조화를 갖춤이 경영품질 수준에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 분석의 결과는 본원적 경쟁전략의 이론이 우리나라 기업에서도 그대로 적용됨을 확인하였으며, 경쟁전략의 유형에 따라 경영품질 수준에도 차이가 있음을 확인하였으며, 경쟁전략의 적합성이 맞은 기업의 경영품질 수준이 그렇지 않은 기업의 경영품질 수준보다 높음을 확인하였다. 따라서 기업은 추구하는 경쟁전략요소에 적절한 경쟁전략유형을 선택하여 추구함으로서 경영품질 수준을 향상시키고, 보다 나은 경영성과를 기대할 수 있다.

본 연구는 많은 기업들이 SCM의 중요성을 인식하고 도입하여 활용을 하고 있는 정보시스템의 발전 단계에서 공급사슬에 참여하고 있는 기업이 어떻게 SCM을 활용하고 있는지에 초점을 둔 연구라 할 수 있다. 기존 연구에서 도출한 SCM 활용 목적에 대한 설문 항목을 중심으로 기업이 활용하고 있는 SCM 활용 패턴을 도출하였다. 군집 분석 방법을 활용하여 집단에 특성을 배정하여 동일 집단에 속한 대상의 유사성을 갖게 함으로써 집단 간의 차이를 명확하게 하였다. 군집 분석 결과 효율성을 추구 형, 군집, Business process 정확성 추구형 집단과 환경 변화 대응 추구형 군집으로 패턴을 나눌 수 있었다. 응답 기업을 Miles와 Snow의 전략유형으로 분류하여 응답 기업의 전략 유형을 판별한 결과 분석자형 40.6%, 방어자형 15.1%, 공격자형 37.2%, 반응자형 6.9%로 조사되었다. 위에서 유형화한 SCM의 활용 패턴과 전략유형을 Matrix화하여 가설인 SCM 활용 패턴과 전략유형의 적합도와 SCM 성과 만족도와의 관계를 검증하였다. 연구를 수행한 결과 기업이 SCM을 활용할 때, SCM 활용 패턴 및 전략 유형에 따라 SCM 성과 만족도가 다르게 나타난다는 것을 알 수 가 있다.

Supply chain (SC) strategies will influence corporate performance and customer satisfaction. However, few empirical research has investigated the impact of the gap between prescriptive and current strategy on customer satisfaction. Based on the profile analysis with data from 31 products, the results of this study show the significant relationship between customer satisfaction and the fit between SC context and speculation-postponement strategies. The results imply that different SC strategies should be applied in accordance with product attributes and supply environments.

According to literature review, fitness between IT activities and organizational strategy enhances performance. Theoretical research says that centralized company in IT activities is appropriate to cost-leadership strategy and decentralized company in IT activities is appropriate to differentiation strategy. But there are very few empirical research. The purpose of this study is to attest whether fitness between IT activities and organizational strategy enhances the information system performance. But the results of this field study were not consistent with literature that fitness of two independent variables enhance performance. So we should take other contingency variables such as organizational structure, culture etc. into consideration to investigate relationship between IT activities and strategy.

The purpose of this study is to present the detailed national strategy, from the financial point of view, for global logistics center in the Northeast Asia using the Balance Scorecard Model(BSC) as well as SWOT analysis. It is a core national challenge for Korea to emerge as a logistics hub of the Northeast Asian region, which is directly related to its very existence in the 21st century. In the process of formulating such a vital strategy, various aspects must be considered In conclusion, this study has successfully deduced the preemptive strategy for exceeding other competitors from the financial (budgetary) perspective and the logistics strategy from inner process standpoint of maximizing logistics outcome by carrying out efficient logistics policy.

Information system, organization structure, and business strategy have been major variables in MIS research. Most of research about these variables interested in the relationship of two variables. There were very few efforts to connect three variables. But relationship or fitness of these factors plays an important role to improve performance. Nowadays managers face new challenge. That is 'globalization' To cope with this turbulent environment, they have to know how to fit these Important factors(information system, organization structure, business strategy). It is the main purpose of this article to find out the fitness of these variables under global business environment. Based on literature review, I made research model which tells whether fitness of three variables affects performance under the control of headquarter. And I propose hypothesis. I define strategy as global innovator, integrated player, implementers role, local innovator and organization structure as multinational, global, international, trans-national and information system as independent IT operation, headquarter driven configuration, intellectual synergy configuration, global integrated IT configuration.

In a study involving 52 large organizations in the savings institutions industry, the relationship between information systems technology(IT) structure and competitive strategy was investigated based on structural contingency theory. Two dimensions of IT structure and two types of competitive strategy were employed to test a contingency mood. It was found that enhanced congruence between IT structure and competitive strategy was associated with higher competitive advantage. The structural dimension significantly associated with the "defender" strategic stance was more centralized and more integrated application of IT, while the structural dimension significantly associated with "prospector〃 positioning was more decentralized and less integrated application of IT.lication of IT.
