  • Electronic commerce, the act of trading online, with its myriad of potential has been seldom looked at within the context of developing countries. E-commerce presents SMEs in developing economies the opportunity to adequately compete on a global stage. The exponential growth of e-commerce in developed economies further widens the financial gap between developed and developing economies. This study looks at a practical e-commerce adoption framework for Ghanaian SMEs and by extension, developing economies and looks at the net benefits that are available to current adopters. The study uses structural equation modeling, using Partial least squares (PLS) regression to analyze the data in the research. Using PLS algorithms as well as bootstrapping calculations. It combines the use of surveys (154) and interviews (38) as means of data collection. The findings of the research indicate that there is a need for legislation on e-commerce trading to regulate the trade in Ghana, with policies such as e-contracting and e-signature laws among others. Also, a current call for an expansion of the mobile payment methods within the country. For the private investor, a ripe market for logistics services. The study also proposes a simple guideline for SMEs looking to adopt or expand their e-commerce usage, that considers technological, organizational and environmental factors that come to play within e-commerce adoption.

  • Purpose: Electric vehicle (EV) technology started in 2015 in Thailand. The Thai Government has indicated that 30% of all cars produced in Thailand by 2025 will be EVs. Using EVs in Thailand will reduce road pollution and increase energy efficiency, especially in major cities. Hence, the adoption of EVs in the country has been promoted. This study pointed out that social influence, facilitating conditions, perceived enjoyment, environmental concern, attitude, and perceived behavioral control are key factors affecting the behavioral intention to adopt EVs among logistic and distribution firms in Thailand. Research design, data, and methodology: 500 top management, middle management and purchasing managers of logistic and distribution firms in Thailand are surveyed. The study employed judgmental, convenience, and snowball sampling. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) are the main statistical tools for data analysis. Results: The results show that all determinants impact customers' willingness to adopt EVs, except perceived enjoyment and environmental control. Conclusions: The study proposes to promote the incentives by decreasing electricity prices and endorsing EVs purchase to accelerate the adoption of EVs in Thailand. Therefore, future policies should focus on behavioral intention toward EVs amongst logistic and distribution firms for enhancing the future of mobility in Thailand.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate current QR technology usages and merchandisers' roles and information activities in the Korean apparel industry. Data were collected by interview and questionnaire with merchandisers in apparel companies, manufacturing apparels for both men and women. Statistical analyses were t-test, ANOVA, frequency with SAS program. The results of the study were as follows: 1. The usage of QR technology was generally low. But POS, bar-coding, logistics and small lot order were highly used compared to other technologies. CAD, automated sewing operation, unit product system, logistics, and small lot order were more used in domestic national brand than in import license brand. POS applications were more used in product planning division than in others. 2. Merchandisers played important roles in making major decisions on cost price, sales price, manufacturing request, delivery data, production quantity, produce mix, budget planning, market timing and delivery channels. Products planning was conducted mostly on a monthly basis. Price was determined mainly according to cost price, while the production quantity depended on the last year's sales. Usually sales were analyzed on a daily basis. 3. Merchandisers got more information on fashion them and color trend from foreign information sources than from domestic, while more information on fabrication from domestic sources. For fashion design information they used the equal amount from domestic and foreign sources. Over all degree of utilization in each field of fashion information was fugured rather high.

  • 현재 전세계적으로 EPC(Electronic Product Code)의 표준 제정되면서 산업 전반에 영향을 미칠 것으로 기대되는 기술인 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)기술에 이목이 집중되고 있다. 특히, RFID기술이 지닌 장점을 충분히 활용할 수 있는 분야가 물류분야이다. 때문에 SCM(Supply Chain Management)에서 RFE기술이 적용되면 현재 SCM에서 발생하고 있는 문제해결과 타 경쟁사들과의 차별화를 통해 많은 편익을 조직에게 줄 것이라고 전문가들은 예측하고 있다. 하지만, 새로운 기술에 수용에 대한 조직내부의 반발, 기술에 대한 신뢰 부족, 비용 편익에 대한 실증 분석 부재 등으로 인해 각 조직들은 시험적 도입을 꺼려하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 Rogers[32]의 혁신 확산이론을 토대로 선행 연구를 통해 새로운 기술이 조직 내 수용 시 영향을 주는 요인들을 찾아내고 이를 계층분석 방법을 이용하여 각 요인별 가중치를 분석하려 한다. 이를 통해 SCM에서 RFID기술을 도입하려는 조직에 의사결정에 도움을 주고자 한다.

  • This study investigates the nature and patterns of interrelation between the emerging information and communication technology(ICT) and the organization of corporate space, both theoretically and empirically. In this work, ICT is conceptualized not so much a space-adjusting technology as an organizational technology. ICT is considered as a governance technology which is related to coordination function within a firm. Therefore, it is supposed to have a great relevance to the spatial reorganization of functions within a firm. Both questionnaire and case study method are used to gather necessary data from Korean electronics manufactures. The results of this study can be summarized as follow. First, the spatial structure of a firm, which is operationalised as the number and type of spatially separated establishments, is turned out to have a great explanatory power to its adoption of computer networks. Computer networks in muli-locational companies are introduced to overcome the limits of its spatial structure, such as duplication of functions, such as duplication of functions, loss of time spent in proceeding a job between different functional units, and unresponsiveness to the change of market demand. Second, new spatial division of labor and function could be possible through a series of business process reengineering, not through the mere adoption of ICT. Case studies reveal that computer network could help a firm to realize new forms of spatial division of labor, especially in those functions which is mainly based on the flow of information. Such function as ICT management, sales logistics and after-sales service are major parts where a new operational unit has appeared with the help of ICT. From above results, it can be concluded that the interrelations between ICT and organizational space should be approached intimately integrated with the change of industrial structure and it's organizational implications.

  • According to the market research report, the nuclear decommissioning services market is currently experiencing considerable growth, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of nearly 13% during the 2020-2024 forecast period. This expansion is primarily fueled by the advancement of Industry 4.0, in conjunction with the emergence of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G. Even though the fact that robots have already been utilized in the nuclear industry, their adoption has been hindered by conservative regulations. However, the nuclear decommissioning market presents an opportunity for the advancement of robotics technology. The British have already invested heavily in encouraging the use of intelligent robots for nuclear decommissioning, and other countries, such as Taiwan, should follow suit. Taiwan's flourishing robotics development industry in manufacturing, logistics, and other domains can be leveraged to introduce advanced robotics in the decommissioning of its nuclear power plants. By doing so, Taiwan can establish itself as a competitive player in the nuclear decommissioning services market for the next two decades.

  • RFID는 비접촉식 물품 인식 기술로서, 무선 인식의 장점에 따라 물류, 의약품, 병원 등 다양한 응용 분야에서 활용 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. RFID의 도입은 하드웨어 장비, S/W, 인력 등 비교적 높은 도입 비용을 요구한다. 이에 따라 응용 환경의 타당성 평가 및 EPC정보서비스(EPCIS)등과 같은 핵심 RFID S/W의 성능 및 적합성 평가가 선행되어야 하며, 이를 위해서는 다양한 종류의 테스트 데이터 셋이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 응용환경을 시뮬레이션하는 접근방법을 통해 보다 실제와 유사한 RFID 비즈니스 이벤트 데이터셋을 생성하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 페트리넷을 기반으로 하여 다양한 RFID 응용 환경을 네트워크 모델 형태로 추상화시키고 이에 기반하여 실제와 유사한 데이터셋을 생성하는 특징이 있다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 RFID 시스템의 평가는 물론 시뮬레이션을 통해 특정 응용 분야에서의 RFID 도입여부 검토에서도 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.
