Cross-border supply chains undergone complexity in the global trade process, unpredictability and continually evolving regulations and information requirements. Under these circumstances, longer lead time inhibiting quick response to market demands, unanticipated supply chain costs eroding product cost savings, compliance and documentation errors causing delays and fines are challenging global trade companies when they execute global business. These problems are mainly caused by unautomated, unintegrated process which lead to longer and more unpredictable lead times, slower cash flow, cost overruns, and ultimately lower profits and less satisfied customers. Complex and unpredictable global trade environment requires global trade companies of global trade management functions to automate and control this complex environment for driving out cost, time and risk from their business. Global trade management allows cost savings, supply chain efficiencies and improved compliance through improving global supply chain visibility, facilitating cash flow by supply chain financing, enhancing supply chain security and risk management.

Environmental differences across countries such as socio-cultural, political, economic, and technological differences require business strategies of multinational corporations to vary business practices across regions. Despite the keen awareness of the necessity for strategic adaptation to local context, IS management and strategy tend to remain similar across countries. One of the reasons is to maintain the stability and compatibility of information technology infrastructure. After a careful observation of retail business practice, this study finds IS strategy should also be highly responsive to the local context. This study shows how information resources including systems architecture, processes, human resources, and national context are interlinked together. Despite global excellence in general systems management, failure in such alignment can be a serious problem in extending competitive advantages across regions. This study aims to reveal issues to be taken care of in order to accomplish global technological alignment. Results of this study provide senior management with guidelines and a framework for aligning IT with regional strategic thrust that can improve local responsiveness of multinational companies.

This paper investigates how firms increase customer acceptance of self-service technologies in retail, and the impact of self-efficacy on customer experience, satisfaction, and loyalty. We conducted our empirical research by administering 308 questionnaires to customers of self-service convenience stores in China. We employed a structural equation model to analyze the relationship between service quality, revisit intention, and word of mouth. The results indicate that perceived service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction, with the service quality of self-service retail and experience value being important factors in consumer acceptance of self-service retail stores. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between customer experience value, satisfaction, and loyalty, and found that self-service retail stores exert a significant impact on perceived self-efficacy. Informed by the research on customer acceptance of self-service technologies in retail, promoting further development of self-service retail technologies can effectively aid companies in generating profit while offering more convenience to customers.

본 연구에서는 한국어 SNS 대화에서 나타나는 문장들의 감성을 분석하고자 신경망 모델을 활용하여 시스템을 구축하였다. 현재 해외 SNS 감성분석에 대한 연구는 많이 진행된 상황이지만, 한국어 범용 대화에 대해 적절한 모델이 무엇인지는 연구가 부족한 실정이었다. 따라서 한국어 대화에 적합한 모델을 채택해 보다 정확한 감성분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 한국어 SNS 대화 데이터에 대해 신경망 모델을 적용하여, 82% 성공률로 기존 모델 72% 성공률보다 훨씬 더 우수한 성능을 보였다. 또한 본 연구의 결과는 악플 추적 등 실용적인 분야에도 기여할 수 있다고 사료된다.

이 연구는 대기오염과 미세먼지의 각 성분이 질환에 미치는 영향에 대한 데이터만 존재한다면 어떠한 질환이든 위험도 예측 결과를 알 수 있는 것에 의미가 있다. 또한 기존의 대기정보에 따른 정보를 예상하는데 필요한 데이터 종류와 수가 많았으며 계산의 복잡성이 높았고 정보의 제공 범위가 넓었다. 하지만 이 연구는 과거 대기 데이터와 딥러닝을 통해서 낮은 비용으로 더욱 자세하게 유해질환 위험도를 예측하는 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 연구에서 구축한 시스템은 예측 결과 88.9%의 정확도를 보였다. 이 시스템은 입력되는 데이터의 정보에 따라 세분화된 지역의 대기환경 정보 또한 파악 가능하며 그 과정이 매우 간편하고 유용하다. 이 시스템은 공기질 예측을 위해 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.

본 연구는 코로나-19 이후로 다시 활성화된 해외여행과 관련된 정보를 데이터베이스화해 정리하고, 폭발적으로 늘어난 여행객들을 위한 여행지 추천을 제시하였다. 또한 여행객들만이 아닌 여행사들을 위해 여행객들의 정보 역시 데이터베이스화하여 여행지 상품 수요조사 등에 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 코로나-19로 인해 각국의 입국 정책은 다양해졌고, 해외여행이 단절된 기간 동안 소비자들은 여행에 대한 최신 정보를 계속해서 접하지 못했다. 그래서 이 데이터를 통해 소비자들의 수요에 맞는 여행지를 추천하고, 여행사들은 소비자들의 필요를 확인할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose - The structure of retailing has changed as retailers develop markets in response to business environment changes. This study aims to analyze the general situation of retailers in order to predict future global strategy using case studies of overseas expansion strategy and the Metro Group's global strategy. Research design, data, and methodology - The backgrounds to the new retail business model and retailer classification are analyzed as theoretical data. In addition, the key success point of the Metro Group's "cash and carry" strategy is analyzed as is the Metro Group's global CFAR (collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment) strategy. Finally, the plan for cooperation and precise forecasting under the Metro Group's supply chain management are analyzed from the promotion environment viewpoint. Related materials analyzed included the 2012 annual report, the Metro Group's web page, and a video interview with the executive in charge of global strategy and the new market development department. Some data were revised to avoid disrupting essential aspects of the case studies. Results - The important finding was that the Metro Group could be a world-class retail company with its successful global expansion strategy. The Metro Group's global strategy's primary goal is to have a leading business position in Eastern and Western Europe. The "cash and carry" strategy is highest priority in its overseas expansion strategy. Moreover, the Metro Group has standardized product planning capacity, which could be applied in various countries with different structural and cultural backgrounds. This is the main reason that the Metro Group could rapidly become successful in the Eastern Europe and Asian markets through its structural overseas expansion strategies. In addition, the Metro Group emphasizes the importance of supply chain management. Conclusions - First, retailers should create additional value through utilizing the domestic market, market power, and economies of scale to launch a global strategy to maximize benefits from diversification. Second, the political, economic, and cultural background of the target country needs to be understood to successfully implement the overseas expansion strategy. Third, the main factor of successful cooperation with a local partner is how quickly the company gains total understanding of the business resources and core competence of its partner. All organizations should focus on the achievement of goals in order to successfully operate the partnership. Fourth, retailers should improve their business, financial and organizational structure. Moreover, the work processes and company culture should also be improved to respond strongly in the competitive global market. Fifth, the essential point of a successful retail business is the control capacity of its branding and format. The retailer could avoid forecasting errors through supply chain management by perfectly distributing the actual amount of its inventory. In addition, the risks along the supply chain are effectively shared between the supply chain partners. Finally, the central tendency of the market is to gain in strength with this taking place across all parts of the business.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to introduce the case of using eCRF system in the Smoking Cessation Program project in Vietnam (2017). And aimed to derive the usefulness of the eCRF system and it potential for future global health business. Method : Introduce the smoking cessation program in vietnam (2017). Smoking Cessation was conducted in three provices of central vietnam Tamphu, Binhtu, Duytrinh) and eCRF was developed on the web environment by building AMP(Apache, PHP, MySQL). Dedicated application have also been developed for user. Result : Using the eCRF, the results of the program of the smoking cessation participants were recorded on the Database server. The implemented system focused on the role of a case recording platform that was simplified in function rather than an electronic version of the case report. It was useful for monitoring. Conclusions : The eCRF system was useful in global health business, and upgrading the system to reflect the feedback derived from the project could potentially be used in other projects. In addition, there are few cases where ICT is used in overseas health promotion projects using Oriental medicine, so further research is needed.
