This paper analyses characteristics of the numerical controller industry in market formation and the Flow of information between users and producers and the characteristic of knowledge base of the industry and discusses the difficulties derived, from the characteristics, in accumulation of technological capability In market formation betweenusers and producers, the multi-layered market is not favorable to domestic producers in that lower end market is not large enough to provide cardle market to them which produce inferior quality and lower price than importer products. The credibility of the permance of a product is difficult to prove until a critical mass of products are sold. Therefore gaining market share is deterred by unproven credibility of the performance of the product. The flow of information between users and producers is limited. The flow of information on users environment through mass market to producers is essential for improving credibility of a product. The nature of knowledge base is tacit and the means of knowledge transmission is limited. Technological licensing and reverse engineering, Which have been conventional industry. These characteristics provide conditions of vicious circle in accumulation of technological capability of the numerical controller industry. This paper argues that these characteristics of the industry challenges existing approach to R&D management and framework of science and technology policy.

This Paper analyses characteristics of the numerical controller industry in market formation and the flow of information between users and producers and the characteristic of knowledge base of the industry and discusses the difficulties derived, from the characteristics, in accumulation of technological capability In market formation between users and producers, the multi-layered market is not favorable to domestic producers in that lower end market is not large enough to provide cradle market to them which produce inferior quality and lower price than imported products. The credibility of the performance of a product is difficult to prove until a critical mass of products are sold. Therefore gaining market share is deterred by unproven credibility of the performance of the product. The flow of information between users and producers is limited. The flow of information on users environment through mass market to producers is essential for improving credibility of a product. The nature of knowledge base is tacit and the means of knowledge transmission is limited. Technological licensing and reverse engineering, which have been conventional means of knowledge transmission, are not useful in the numerical controller industry. These characteristics provide conditions of vicious circle in accumulation of technological capability of the numerical controller industry. It is conjectured that these characteristics are derived from the fact that the numerical controller is the result of IT based technological convergence in controlling machining process. This paper argues that these characteristics of the industry challenges existing approach to R&D management and framework of science and technology Policy.

Public institutions invest about half of the information protection budget annually to introduce information security products and information protection services in order to prevent cyber terrorism and establish organizational security. However, research on whether introduced information security products has a positive influence on improving the information security level of the actual institution is in an incomplete state, and accordingly, There are problems such as the measurement of the investment effect of the information security product introduced in the organization and the difficulty in selecting the optimum information security product that the agency actually needs. In this paper, prior research will conduct research on the influence of the introduction of information security products on the improvement of information security level of organization through analysis of operational data of inadequate information security products, and based on the research results, It would be useful to use it for information security practices such as optimal product selection and internal security policy formulation through validation of the introduction of information security products of public institutions.

As modular production becoming increasingly widespread in globalized manufacturing industries, sub modules or parts of the final product are being provided by many suppliers. Some part suppliers design their own products for themselves. In some cases, part suppliers provide the same type of product to multiple OEM companies. Because all part suppliers and OEM companies typically cannot use the same CAD system, engineering change in the CAD model of one company cannot be directly propagated to related CAD models of other companies. Even if two companies use the same CAD system, it may be difficult to share their CAD model owing to corporate security policy. In this paper, a neutral reference model that consists of a neutral skeleton model and an external reference data model is proposed as a new medium for the sharing and propagation of engineering change information among collaborating companies.

As an engineered product, a software package has multiple dimensions that must be designed judiciously to enhance its competitive viability. Functionality, reliability and price are three such common dimensions. However, many software products are sold as bundles of individual components and the competitive impact of bundling has received less attention in the research literature. In this paper, we examine the implications of software vendors using bundling as an element of competitive strategy. A game theoretic model of the actions of an incumbent and a new entrant is developed and the impact on vendor and consumer welfare is analyzed. Numerical experiments with the model show that (i) increasing bundle size is an effective strategy for the incumbent to increase its payoff at the cost of the entrant's payoff and consumer surplus, especially when the entrant's quality is low (ii) in the presence of bundling, the entrant can still increase its own payoff and consumer surplus at the cost of the incumbent's payoff, by increasing product quality up to the level that best segments market demand with the incumbent and (iii) an increase in bundle size by the incumbent, or an increase in quality by the entrant, can both result in an increase of total surplus. Similar results are observed in a related case where the entrant offers free software bundles. Our results provide insights into how software vendors may strategically use bundling and quality as additional product dimensions in order to stay competitive in the market. These results also inform the competing vendors of the impact of bundling related public policy actions on their respective payoffs.

In the past few years, increasing numbers of automatic storage/retrieval system (AS/RS) using computer controlled storage/retrieval machine have been installed. This paper introduces two modeling approaches to determine the best operating policy for AS/RS : an M/G/1 queueing model and a computer simulation model. The operating policy consists of three elements. : the operation command cycle, the storage location method, and the operation dispatching rule. The analysis based on M/G/1 model is suitable for a quick and approximate evaluation, due to its inherent strict assumptions. The computer simulation can be used to perform a more realistic analysis. It is shown through the study that a significant improvement in the throughput and/or the space requirement can be expected by determining the best operating policy to a particular system. Most important, the computer simulation demonstrates its powerful capability in evaluating dynamic stochatic systems with imperfect information.

A correct information of customer returns ratio under e-commerce is not always shared between supply chain (SC) members. Also, it is important issue for SC members to handle the unsold products in a market. This paper discusses the impact of information sharing of customer returns ratio on an optimal sales strategy including resale of customer returns and buyback policy for a SC under e-commerce with a manufacturer and a retailer. A retailer sells a single product and resells the resalable customer returns in the same market. A manufacturer produces the products and buys back the unsold products as to their quality from the retailer. The integrated SC (ISC) determines the optimal product order quantity to maximize the expected profit of the whole SC. The decentralized SC (DSC) makes the optimal decisions for order quantity and the wholesale price of products to maximize the expected profit of each SC member. The effect of information sharing is discussed between SC members under ISC and DSC. The analysis numerically investigates how information sharing of the returns ratio affects the optimal decision and the expected profits under ISC and DSC. Besides, effect of SC coordination to encourage the shift to ISC is discussed.
