DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis)は事業体の相対的な効率性を比率尺度に基づいて計算し,算出する手法である.DEAは世界の各地で広く用いられ,さまざまなモデルが存在する.本研究ではDEAおよびDEAの一つのモデルであるIDEA(Inverted Data Envelopment Analysis)を用いた経営分析手法を扱う.この手法は評価対象を効率性・非効率性の両面から分析することができるが,相反する評価を下す領域が一点で接するなど問題点がある.この手法を改善し,よりよい経営分析手法を提案することが本研究の目的である.実際の数値を用いて数値実験を行い,元手法と提案する手法を評価・比較する.実験を行った結果,一般的な社会の実情にあった経営分析方法を提案することが確認できた.問題点として,効率・非効率の両面から評価するため,一元的に評価できないという点が残っている.しかし,提案法は効率の良し悪しを判断するには問題がなく,またパラメータを変更することで評価者の主観に副った判断もできる経営分析方法になる.

本研究は,消費者の購買意欲を誘い売り上げの向上を見込める小売店舗レイアウトをマルチエージェントシミュレーション(MAS)により分析・検証することを目的とする.研究対象としてドラッグストアを取り上げる.まずエージェントの購買行動が現実に近い状態を再現するよう店舗内空間行動モデルを作成し,現実の売り上げデータを用いて各パラメータの調整をする.さらに店舗レイアウトのうち次の3要因 1.購買時点広告(POP)の設置場所, 2.広告日替り商品置き場, 3.商品棚レイアウトに着目し,消費者の店内購買行動と店舗レイアウトの影響効果をMASにより分析し,売り上げがどのように変化するかをシミュレーションをする.最後にシミュレーションした結果と顧客アンケートを比較することで,シミュレーションの妥当性の検証を試みる.

The innovation speed in the fields of information communications and electronics is exceedingly fast. For this reason, in the case that patent trolls intentionally delay a claim for damages for companies that infringe on patents, it is likely to be difficult for the companies to recover from damage caused by the delay, even if the delay period is for one or two years. The Japanese Civil Code provides a statute of limitations of three years to exercise one's rights. This, however, differs from the realities of the technology, in which the delay of a year or two matters materially. Considering a U.S. doctrine that is an effective defense to exercise rights with unreasonable delay, we herein propose flexible limitations to such delayed conduct in preparation for events should patent trolls appear in Japan in the future.

With the mass retirement of the skilled engineers(year 2007 problem), and with the hot pursuit of the emerging nations such as China, Japan's manufacturing strength is shaking. How should Japan maintain and enhance its Manufacturing DNA? In this paper, we focus on mother plant as a device which consolidates skills and knowledge of Japanese manufacturing industry. In order to support the formulation of manufacturing strategy that leads to Japanese manufacturing industry to survive in the world market, we aim at providing check tools that would allow the relevant firms to comprehend the current status of their Manufacturing DNA, as well as to construct their own DNA portfolio. Using 27 keywords extracted from 56 advanced cases of mother plant. five types of Manufacturing DNA were devised, and an attempt was made to develop a check sheet. Then by applying the check sheet to five cases, it was verified that we can indicate the characteristics of each firm's strategy in clearly understandable terms.

In this paper we review some of the developments which have taken place in China in management education and training and the challenges and opportunities which Management education faces in taking China into the next major phase of its industrial development and economic reform. We comment upon the role which overseas universities can make to providing such education, and especially the trans-national approach to establishing a global university pioneered by the University of Nottingham.

This paper describes the evolution of managerial concepts and methods in the industrial sector by using as paradigm the re-engineering process fired by the necessity of manufacturing a new final product. Based on the experience done in developing research projects funded by the European Commission (EC), the growing diffusion of Industrial Districts, their main strength and weakness, are discussed, and some hints on the recent research programs funded by EC are briefly reported. The emerging interest of transferring managerial methods from Industrial Districts to networks of human-centered services, as healthcare, is then presented.

In this paper, the general definition of risk-based project value (RPV) is proposed for the evaluation of projects with complex network diagrams containing serial and parallel activities. RPV can be calculated based on cash flows and the risk probabilities of termination associated with project activities. RPV analysis aims at overcoming the limitations of static evaluation methods such as discounted cash flow (DCF), which are applicable only to projects in the planning phase. The definition of the contributed value (CV) of an activity to the project is also defined. The CV is proportional to the risk probability. Risk-based project progress measurement can be calculated using the CV. A numerical case study on a new product development project shows that risk-based progress measurement is more sensitive to early intellectual activities than the conventional cost-based method.

Among previous research on the e-Commerce growth process, the following model building and verification study is the latest. The model building study is based on the following three hypotheses based on literature review. They are; (h1): the difference of purchase behavior among customer segments can be explained by trust and value; (h2): trust and value are mutually influential, and jointly determine the purchase behavior of EC customers; and (h3): a trust building process and a value establishing process contain multiple stages respectively. In the model verification study these hypotheses were tested and verified by responses to a questionnaire survey, and it was proven that the proposed model is valid. This study aims to enhance this staged growth model as a framework for analyzing the e-Commerce growth process and factors. Specifically, at first, this study describes the questionnaire survey conducted to analyze factors that differentiate each stage of trust and value. Next, the statistical analysis method used in this study is described. Lastly, by analyzing statistically significant factors, differentiating factors among stages are identified. Results indicate that 10 trust factors are required to be boosted up from trust stage1 to stage2, and 4 factors from stage2 to stage3. Also, 9 value factors are required to be boosted up from value stage1 to stage2, and 8 factors from stage2 to stage3. Thus, by using this model, the factors required for moving up customers to higher stages can be identified, and the usefulness of the model as a framework for analyzing the e-Commerce growth process and factors is verified. Also, as the strategies to move up the customers to the next stages can be derived from its outcomes, its usefulness as a tool for developing growth strategies of individual e-Commerce is proven.
