This study introduces an overall framework for RFID applications in product lifecycle management(PLM). PLM is a new strategic approach to manage product related information efficiently over the whole product lifecycle. Recently, with emerging technologies such as radio frequency identification(RFID), global positioning system(GPS), and wireless communication, PLM provides a new environment that enables us to gather and analyze product lifecycle information, and make decisions on several issues without spatial and temporal constrains. However, a PLM system just provides us with new opportunities to gain the PLM system, first and foremost, it is necessary to look into its overall framework in the viewpoint of hardware, software, and business model. For this purpose, in this study, first, we introduce the technical framework of the new PLM environment with the concept of extended RFID system, called product embedded information device(PEID). Then, for each lifecycle phase such as beginning of life(BOL), middle of life(MOL), and end of life(EOL), we explore several research problems that become highlighted under the new PLM environment.

The paper introduces a new product of polynomials defined over a field. It is a generalization of the ordinary product with inner polynomial getting non-overlapping segments obtained by multiplying with coefficients and variable with expanding powers. It has been called 'Ordered Power Product' (OPP). Considering two rings of polynomials $R_m[x]=F[x]modulox^m-1$ and $R_n[x]=F[x]modulox^n-1$, over a field F, the paper then considers the newly introduced product of the two polynomial rings. Properties and algebraic structure of the product of two rings of polynomials are studied and it is shown to be a ring. Using the new type of product of polynomials, we define a new product of two cyclic codes and devise a method of getting a cyclic code from the 'ordered power product' of two cyclic codes. Conditions for the OPP of the generators polynomials of component codes, giving a cyclic code are examined. It is shown that OPP cyclic code so obtained is more efficient than the one that can be obtained by Kronecker type of product of the same component codes.

This study aims to determine the effects of clothing consumption value, usefulness of clothing and ease of use on the new product acceptance intention of premium linen apparel. A survey was conducted among male and female consumers, and a total of 328 responses were analyzed. Frequency, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis using SPSS WIN Ver.21.0. The results of this study are as follows. First, clothing consumption value was classified into five factors: social value, fashionable value, individual value, practical value and emotional value. Usefulness and ease of use were found two factors and the new product acceptance intention of premium linen apparel was found one factor. Second, all factors of clothing consumption value had a positive effect on usefulness. The higher the values of the five factors of clothing consumption value, the higher usefulness. Third, fashionable value affected ease of use, but individual value had no positive effect on ease of use. The higher the fashionable value, the higher the ease of use, but, the higher the individual value, the lower the ease of use. Fourth, all factors of clothing consumption value had a positive effect on the new product acceptance intention of premium linen apparel. Therefore, clothing consumption value is important to the new product acceptance intention of premium linen apparel. Moreover, usefulness and ease of use influenced the new product acceptance intention of premium linen apparel. This shows that consumers' new product acceptance intention of premium linen apparel increases if the product is they are perceived to be useful and easy to use.

The purpose of this paper is to design a new management model based on the grill-formed product charscteristic area(PCA) which specify the position of products classified by the level of market and technology. This product characteristic area is composed of 9 cells and the cases sorted by market and technology are analyzed by each cell. Conclusion of this study based on many significant results gained by the various multi-variate analysis is summarized as follows; First, it can be noted that success/failure factor and progress stages are different by each cell. Second, a new management model is designed by combining the Motive Resource, Success/Failure(S/F) factors, and Progress Stages of New Product Development. Third, success products featured a balance between marketing oriented and technically oriented activities. A new attemp that combine S/F factors with development stages by each product cell will be of great usefulness for further study.

Initial screening is one of the most important and difficult processes in new product development. Many new product screening models have been developed in management and marketing. However practical applications of these models have been limited in part due to their complexity and inflexibility, and in part due to their excessive data requirements. Thus simple judgment models have been popular in practice. However, these models suffer from inaccuracy and inconsistency originating form human cognitive limitations. In light of the problem swith traditional screening methods, we propose a new approach for screening based on managers' past experience and intuitive judgments-screening by analogy, and develop a computerized case-based system for screening new financial service concepts. Using the system, managers can predict the potential performance of a new product concept based on the performance of past products that are similar to it in terms of product characteristics, firm's resources, and market conditions. Based on this prediction, managers make a screening decision.

New technology development capability plays a key role in making small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increase their innovation performance, such as in product or process innovation. To examine the influencing factors of SMEs' new technology development capability, this study empirically analyzes the mediating effects of SMEs' process design capability and product interior design capability on the positive association between their external information network diversity and new technology development capability. This study performs the ordinary least squares regression on a sample of 2,000 South Korean SMEs. Results reveal that SMEs' process design capability fully mediates, and product interior design capability partially mediates the positive association between the external information network diversity and new technology development capability.

Demand forecasting methods for a consumer product such as TV or refrigerator are widely known. However, sales forecast for a brand new product cannot be estimated using conventional forecasting methods. This study proposes a five-step procedure in forecasting a newly developed product. Step one defines functions in a High Touch product in order to estimate relative attraction of the product to consumer group. In step two, for a comparison purpose, a compatible product that is successfully penetrated into market is selected. Step three breaks a target population into many segments based on demography. Step four calculates relative attraction between the High Touch product and the compatible product. Finally, market penetration rate of the High Touch product is estimated using a bell-shaped diffusion curve of the compatible product. The process offers a method to estimate potential demand and growth pattern of the new High Touch product.
