Researchers have suggested successful risk management as a key factor in successful IT outsourcing projects implementation. The documented investigations, however, have mainly addressed risk management only from a single perspective of either clients or IT vendors. This study explored the potential perception inconsistency regarding the risks between the client and the vendor for IT outsourcing projects by using a quasi-Delphi approach. The analysis results indicated some inconsistencies in the risks perceived by the two parties: (1) the clients regarded (a) lack of vendor commitment to the project and (b) poor vendor selection criteria and process as top critical risks but the vendors didn't; and (2) on the other hand, the vendors perceived (a) unclear requirements and (b) lack of experience and expertise with project activities as significant risks but the clients didn't. Insights into how the client and the vendor perceive risks may help both parties determine how to partner and manage project risks collaboratively to succeed in outsourcing.

Supply units in each command are multi-tiered and each supply unit keeps a supply level independently, which can cause excess stock, leading false reports to the Logistics Command and increasing difficulties in managing user needs. This causes excess assets and the excess then causes deformation in demand. therefore, the supply support systems of our armed forces have become high-cost/low-efficiency and are insufficient to meet the needs of users in combat units. Civilian corporations and the US Department of Defense are downsizing the aforementioned multi-tiered supply systems thus revolutionizing efficient and effective logistics by adopting Supply Chain Management(SCM), and Prime Vendor policies. Prime Vendor policy is a logistics support method that allows users to directly request and receive supply items from suppliers, based on supply contracts between suppliers and central maintenance organizations like KDA. In other words, it is a system that allows for users to make orders to suppliers directly and suppliers to deliver goods to the users directly, cutting out the middle stage, thus allowing an efficient supply. This is a way forward in finance that cuts costs in net supplies and allows an efficient utilization of civilian assets. which is also known to fasten the speed of logistical support and stripping down the logistical structure. therefore, this report will explore Prime Vendor policies adopted in certain number of units for medical supplies that were taken in consideration of improvements in stock management in civilian organizations and the US Army, and aims to apply such policies for repair parts.

Since the year of 2003, the overseas plant market has grown by an average of 6% per year. It is because of the increase of oil-money, economic growth of BRICs, and the result of heavy competition among the countries which demands a great amount of resources for the purpose of resource securing. Such a situation is expected to be continued for a while. The procurement is one of critical functions for successful completion of a plant project. For effective procurement, it is required to manage vendor's information efficiently. But most of the vendor management systems deal with simple general information and performance data about vendors. In this sense, this paper proposes a vendor management system which can be used within a decision-making system. The system uses existing DB and makes the close relationship with the vendors. This paper will also reduce risks and difficulties in the process of selecting the proper vendors and will increase efficiency of procurement process in electronic bidding between companies.

정보시스템 아웃소싱(outsourcing)의 적용 범위와 그 규모가 증대함에 따라, 아웃 소싱은 정보시스템의 관리에서 근본적인 이슈로 등장하게 되었다. 정보시스템 아웃소싱의 중요성이 인식되었으나, 그에 대한 실증적 연구는 매우 미흡한 설정이다. 본 연구의 주요 목적은 정보시스템 아웃소싱에 있어 고객회사(client firm)와 서비스 제공업자(vendor)간의 관계의 성공 및 실패에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구의 연구 모델은 관 계적거래이론(relational exchange theory), 커뮤니케이션 행동(communication behavior), 거래비용분석(transaction cost analysis) 등의 조직간관계(interorganizational relationship) 이론에 기반을 두고 작성되었다. 미국의 207개 회사의 정보시스템 아웃소싱 설문조사에 의 하여 다음과 같은 연구결과가 도출되었다. (1) 서비스 제공업자의 능력(vendor capability), 관계결속성(solidarity), 관계지속성(continuity expectation), 유연성(flexibility), 서비스업자의 활동에 대한 모니터링(monitoring of the vendor), 참여도(participation) 등이 아웃소싱 관 계의 성공과 양의 상관관계를 가지고 있으며, (2) 역할연합도(role integrity), 자산특이성 (asset specificity) 등은 아웃소싱 관계의 성공과 음의 관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났 다. 이 결과에 의하면, 비관계적 거래(discrete exchange) 보다는, 관계적 거래(relational exchange)에 기반을 두어 아웃소싱 관계를 운영하는 것이 아웃소싱의 성공적인 구현을 필 수적으로 보여진다. 이 연구 결과를 기초로 하여 아웃소싱 대상 업무의 선택, 서비스 제공 업자의 선택, 그리고 아웃소싱 관계의 지속적인 관리를 위한 지침을 제시하였다.

Vendor-managed inventory policy(VMIP) is a supply-chain initiative where the supplier is authorized to manage inventories of items at retail locations. In VMIP, the supplier monitors sales and stock information at retail locations and makes decisions of inventory replenishment and transportation simultaneously. VMIP has been known as an effective supply chain strategy that can realize many of benefits obtainable only in a fully integrated supply chain. However, VMIP does not always lead to lower the supply chain cost. It sometimes generates the total supply chain cost higher than the traditional retailer-managed inventory policy (RMIP). In this paper, we perform a comparison study on RMIP and VMIP in the retail supply chain which consists of a single supplier and a number of retailers. We formulate mixed integer programming models for both RMIP and VMIP with vehicle routing problems and perform computational experiments on various test problems. Furthermore, we derive the conditions which guarantee the dominant position for VMIP with respect to total supply chain cost in the simple retail supply chain.

In recent years, C2C e-commerce has become more and more popular in China. Chinese C2C buyers use an instant messaging more commonly during transactions compared to other countries, which seems to be an interesting phenomenon. Based on the Chinese market, this study aims to examine the role of instant messenger in the C2C e-commerce context and to find how it impacts buyers' purchase intentions. In addition to use of instant messenger, we brought in two antecedents of purchase intention-trust for vendor and customer satisfaction-to establish a theoretical research model. Through an online questionnaire survey, we tested and analyzed the research model and its related hypotheses. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data, and the results indicated that use of instant messenger did not directly influence purchase intention but had positive effects both on trust for vendor and customer satisfaction, which in turn influenced purchase intention. In conclusion, we discussed the research findings and suggested some implications for researchers and practitioners.

The Korean real estate transaction makes a contract after the buying and selling person concerned agreed a business condition. As for vendee, business consists of the method that I issue documents before provision and money left over provision and the registration at the same time, and register a contract deposit in vendor. However, it latent for the real estate transaction various accidents such as fraud from a contract day to time to finish a real estate registration transfer, embezzlement, double contract by the breach of trust. Nevertheless vendee comes to match vendor by an asymmetry of the information one-sidedly to the front completing a registration transfer. I may prevent stellionate by the breach of trust of vendor if I use an ESCROW system in such a responsibility blank state.

To overcome rapidly changing business environment, companies are focusing on their core business areas. Outsourcing in general has become a standard to sustain competitive advantage. ASP(Application Service Provider) service, another form of IT outsourcing, is business model for providing a contractual service offering to deploy, host, manage and rent access to an application from a centrally managed facility. The main purpose of this study is to investigate on the factors contributing to the success of ASP services by conducting an empirical research to enterprises using ASP service. For this purpose, we developed a research model based on the literature reviews of ASP services, IT outsourcing, and relational exchange. A total of 106 usable survey responses has been used in the analysis. The unit of analysis was relationship and respondents were person in charge of ASP service of each corporation. The findings indicates that (1) service tangibles, customization, partnership, IS maturity and monitoring of the vendor had an positive influence upon non-economic benefits, (2) service tangibles, IS maturity and monitoring of the vendor had an positive influence upon economic benefits, and (3) service tangibles, reliability, partnership and monitoring of the vendor had positive influence upon satisfaction about outcomes of relationships.
