The paper proposes a typology of strategic negotiation and some models from the prescriptive and normative viewpoints. Negotiation is a type of communication by which the negotiators try to realize their own positions. We can observe negotiations everywhere.

Japanese asset management companies suffer from low profitability compared with European and American asset management companies for many years. The reason why low profitability of Japanese asset management companies compared with European and American asset management companies, is that lower fee rate and smaller operation size. For improvement of profitability, improvement of performance is the most important subject. But we do not treat a subject about improvement of performance in this paper. From a point of view of asset management efficiency, we evaluate Japanese asset management companies by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). From this result, we think we can do some proposal for improvement of management efficiency of Japanese asset management companies.

An attribute (factor) and the design of the level are very important in the virtual experiment by using virtual product. However, usual approach restrains the number of attributes in consideration not to increase the panel burden. It is influenced by four points, the number of attributes and the number of levels, the number of products plan (profile cards), measurement scale (answer form), and the way of constructing products plan and the way of carrying it out. This paper discusses the approach to increase the quality and quantity of information by increasing the number of attribute.

Up to this time, at that factory, it was introduced IS each department such as order, design, manufacture, etc. and kept up with the delivery date requirement of custom. But the latest, it could not follow to a short delivery date requirement, because delay of information flows at design and manufacture department became bottleneck. From that background, that factory rebuilt the isolated IS at each department, on purpose to reduce occurring idle time in the factory. In particular, the factory tried to integrate one network from each LAN which constructed different operating system (OS) such as office computer system, MS-Windows system and UNIX system.

Two main findings obtained are as follows. First, if the players communicate each other directly (without using a mediator), the misperception won't be corrected. Second, if players communicate through a mediator, the misperception can be corrected. We also discuss their meaning and implications.

We examined the educational effects of the Agent Based Approach (ABA), which is attracting attentions as one of new research methods recently, in business administration education for practitioners. We found that the ABA not only offers effective learning and enlighten effects that traditional approaches, such as the lecture and the case method, provide, but enables students to experience the overall decision making processes vicariously. In addition, the ABA is effective in understanding existing theories in business administration fields. We concluded, therefore, that the ABA is a promising new teaching method in business administration education for practitioners where the primary interest lies in acquiring good decision making skills.

The most shortcoming of the AHP is the phenomenon of rank reversal. The ranking of alternatives determined by the AHP may be altered by addition of another alternative. The same phenomenon of rank reversal sometimes occur when irrelevant alternative are added or deleted. Unfortunately, the rank reversal occur when paired comparison matrix is entirely consistent. This report is that how the rank reversal occur when the copy alternative added to 2 alternatives or 3 alternatives in consistent condition. And we compare the conventional AHP method and the modified AHP method, which were introduced by Belton and Gear. The eigenvector are normalized which maximum eigenvector element is 1 in the modified AHP method.

Especially, we use the concept of the modular architecture and the integral architecture which have been discussed in researches on product architecture of automobile, computer and so on. And we consider the impact of the OSS modularity on the collaboration mechanism of its development. As a result, we conclude that it is difficult that many developers collaborate one another when the OSS architecture is integral, even if many volunteers who intend to contribute to the development exist.

A Company cannot survive if it weren't for adaptation for change of outside environment. In order to adapt for each aspect, reorganization of the management resources inside of a company is needed. However, in the small businesses, management resources that consist of worker, equipment and technology,etc, united with the manager in many cases. Although such a small business's manager has the suitable technology as a "Craftsman,"he scarcely has the management capability as a "Meister." So this paper focuses on the small business's managers and extract some conditions for their adapting themselves to outside environment to interview them, then consider the management information which makes decision making possible in the range of their management capability.

However, People with the skill by the hand or the skill which used the tool as a part of body have played the active role in the industrial world. The support for acquiring skills is one of the difficult problems. Therefore, vocational high school which is promoting technical education needs skill education, in order to contribute to society. In this paper, we analyzed about the characteristics of craftsmanship,and we considered learning support of skills for pupil.

Since it is adapted for the business environment which changes fluidly, a company arrange limited human resources suitably again. However, in small companies, it is difficult to perform systematic human resources management efficiently in respect of a company scale. For this reason, a personnel is caught from the function side, and it is necessary to build the most suitable personnel information system in the restriction for the small companies. Then, this research shows the typology of a personnel function first, and considers the state of the personnel information system for small companies.

In this paper, we propose a new method of quality control using traceability system based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. This method consists of following procedures. A RFID chip is attached in all unfinished products before the first process. In middle processes, the inspected result is stored in the chip. The information stored in a tip is taken out after the last process. Quality is judged based on the information about all products. Nonconformity goods are eliminated based on the result of the judgment. If a supplier adopts this method, most nonconformity goods will not be shipped from the supplier. In this paper, we consider a possibility that a supplier will adopt this method.
