Recently RFID is gathering people's attentions as an enabler to streamline business process such as SCM. With the progress of the wireless technology, it becomes easy to use RFID in the corporate information system; however, it has not been widely adopted yet. We think that this slow adoption is because currently RFID is only used to make the existing process more accurate and efficient. To fully utilize RFID and eventually accelerate the adoption, we propose an approach that companies should utilize the fine granular information and incorporate the information in designing the process. As a first report of the proposal, we review the status of current RFID technology; show that it has sufficient capabilities for fine granular information; and discuss the direction of the SCM innovation.

This paper examines the usefulness of introducing the notion of prioritization in the design of business models for open wireless networks in which various providers jointly offer the network, and to which users add value by providing content that induce other users to pay for the use of the network. This paper focuses on construction and management of the open wireless networks. Adoption of IP gave networks versatility to carry various kinds of media that historically required proprietary dedicated networks. Therefore, I focused attention on the "priority," which describes preference for the usage of bandwidth, to share the cost of open wireless networks. From the analysis of present research, we can conclude that the "priority" is a useful cost allocation driver.

The Linear Programming model is formulated by the network structure, adopts 4-quantile of monthly data to the prediction, and assumes that the equal probability to stock's price will go up or down. 3 brands 2 period model generates 64 scenarios.
During a slump term of stock exchange market, the Linear Programming model scores better performance comparing to the stock index.

An analytical method for finding Nash equilibria for 2 x 2 bimatrix game is well-know, and Shapley's labeling method was presented for 3 x 3 bimatrix games. However, the labeling method is so complicated that it can not be applied for more than 3 x 3 games in general. In this paper, we implemented the labeling method on computers and succeeded in identifying Nash equilibria for any 3 x 3 bimatrix game numerically within a fairly short time and with practically-enough precision. Using this method it's possible to find equilibria in more than 3 x 3 bimatrix games.

But, for venture businesses or for small and medium-sized enterprises, patent expense becomes a problem. This is a problem also for a university, which does not perform business using patents.
Although the intellectual property section and technology-transfer section of the university aim at selling patents, patents do not sell easily. Then, a possibility of selling not only a patent but a business plan has been pointed out. In this research, we discuss the strategy of business plan creation through a patent portfolio.

In order to ensure greater food safety it has become imperative that the full sharing of information takes place between food manufacturers and retailers. However, this sharing is considered a burden by many manufacturers. In recent times, though, software has been developed that enables this sharing to be done in a more efficient, less burdensome way.

From this, we were able to highlight four primary burdens facing manufacturers in today`s food industry.
