This paper considers a topological optimization of a computer network design with a cost constraint. The objective is to find the topological layout of links, at maximal reliability, under the constraint that the network cost is less or equal than a given level of budget. This problem is known to be NP-hard. To efficiently solve the problem, a genetic approach is proposed. Two illustrative examples are used to explain and test the proposed approach. Experimental results show evidence that the proposed approach performs more efficiently for finding a good solution or near optimal solution in comparison with a simulated annealing method.

This study was carried into execution to analyze Spatial Characteristics of Seoul Business Services Cluster in circumstance of local economic development led by knowledge-intensive business services. The analysis was performed for industrial agglomeration and companies' linkage and network. As the result, there are three business services cluster, including the largest one in Gang-Nam Gu, Seoul, and for last 10 years, there has been increasing development of business services cluster. In the meanwhile, their linkage and network have not been performed briskly. Therefore, from now on, a plan that can help companies' linkage and network performed inside of cluster to have active and international structure has to be considered in cluster policy.

As business environments rapidly changing and becoming more competitive, manager begin to realize the needs of the network organization structure reflecting the newly emerging internet environments. This paper, therefore, attempt to provide managers with a framework that can be used to design an effective network structure. The framework described here shows three important characteristics of network organizations: First, staffs need to be knowledge workers, rather than rule follower. Second, managers need to emphasize the empowerment, rather than exercising hierarchical power and control. In order for managers to support the design of network organizations they need to implement information systems that can integrate staffs, tasks, and information technologies.

This study first conceptualizes and investigates five dimensions of SCM activities, such as organizational capacity, revitalization support collaboration, appraisal and responsibility, and information system activities. Second, this study develops three dimensions of a supply chain structure, and proposes a balanced scorecard (BSC) model in order to measure business performance. And then, this study establishes too research hypotheses as follows: H1. The SCM activities varies with the supply chain structure. H2. The management performance varies with the supply chain structure. In the questionnaire survey for empirical analysis, this study carefully selected 809 of companies in Korea. We conducted a survey by mail and collected 127 data. Out of 127 data we actually used 103 responses for statistical analysis. After conducting statistical analysis, we could find the results as followed: 1) The supply chain structure was classified into three networks through a clustering procedure, such as supply network, conversion network, and distribution network, and these networks were used to testify hypotheses. As a result the effect of SCM activities varies according to three networks and especially, the companies in distribution network were more active than those in supply and conversion networks doing SCM activities. 2) We may conclude that business performance varies with three networks, and distribution network achieves better performance than supply and conversion networks do.

Customer networks go through constant changes. They may expand or shrink once they are formed. In dynamic environments, it is a critical corporate challenge to identify and manage influential customer groups in a cost effective way. In this context, we apply inverse optimization theory to suggest an efficient method to manage customer networks. In this paper, we assume that there exists a subset of nodes that might have a large effect on the network and that the network can be modified via some strategic actions. Rather than making efforts to find influential nodes whenever the network changes, we focus on a subset of selective nodes and perturb as little as possible the interaction between nodes in order to make the selected nodes influential in the given network. We define the following problem based on the inverse optimization. Given a graph and a prescribed node subset, the objective is to modify the structure of the given graph so that the fixed subset of nodes becomes a minimum dominating set in the modified graph and the cost for modification is minimum under a fixed norm. We call this problem the inverse dominating set problem and investigate its computational complexity.

For convenient business process modeling we propose a mathematical approach to obtain appropriate process structures. In this paper, we define business process structural constraints, on which basis, using Social Network Analysis (SNA), we analyze the frequency of handover occurrences among performers in social network. We here present, therefrom, a new, mathematical approach to business process modeling that proceeds by identifying the social relations among activities.

Agent technology has been widely applied in today's electronic business, such as mobile agents, multi-agent information systems, etc. In particular, multi-agent systems have been applied as powerful simulation tools to study complex business networks composed of various self-interested trading firms and/or human beings. In this paper, we build an integrated model that consists of a multi-agent B2C market model and a B2B trade network model, and incorporate more reality than much of prior work. Then with this model, we carry out experimental studies on two different strategies that are common in electronic business - 'loyal' strategy (retailers try to build stable cooperation with suppiers to ensure material supply) and 'cost-saving' strategy (retailers try to reduce cost by choosing suppliers with lower wholesale price).

Many organizations are looking for digital innovation to apply in business process management and this information revolution leaves its effect on the businesses and anticipate competitors. In this article, investigates the strength of the relationship between business process management (BMP) and Digital Innovations (DI) since it has been underdeveloped. The results and findings are extracted from international survey with explanations of expert panel to generalized a positive and moderate link of multiple factors that are affecting the strategic decision-making in business process management. It is extended to the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework and contour organizations along their Digital Process Innovation (DPI).
