Environmental differences across countries such as socio-cultural, political, economic, and technological differences require business strategies of multinational corporations to vary business practices across regions. Despite the keen awareness of the necessity for strategic adaptation to local context, IS management and strategy tend to remain similar across countries. One of the reasons is to maintain the stability and compatibility of information technology infrastructure. After a careful observation of retail business practice, this study finds IS strategy should also be highly responsive to the local context. This study shows how information resources including systems architecture, processes, human resources, and national context are interlinked together. Despite global excellence in general systems management, failure in such alignment can be a serious problem in extending competitive advantages across regions. This study aims to reveal issues to be taken care of in order to accomplish global technological alignment. Results of this study provide senior management with guidelines and a framework for aligning IT with regional strategic thrust that can improve local responsiveness of multinational companies.

This study empirically investigated the effects of knowledge management(KM) strategic alignment on the KM activities as well as the product and process innovation of manufacturing firms. Based on the framework, which employs the usage levels of target costing systems(TCS) and information technology(IT) infrastructure, four types of KM strategies were identified and proposed：mixed, explorative, exploitative and negative strategies. In this research, these four types of KM strategies were empirically validated. According to the results of this study, it was found that when a explorative KM strategy is aligned with a low-cost strategy, KM activities are activated and the degree of a process innovation is increased. It was observed that in the case of the alignment between a differentiation strategy and a exploitative KM strategy, both KM activities and the level of a product innovation are enhanced. The results also demonstrated that for the enhancement of both a process and a product innovation through the activation of KM activities, a mixed KM strategy must be aligned with a composite business strategy, which focuses on a low-cost as well as a differentiation strategies. Accordingly, it is concluded that the KM activities and the levels of the product and process innovation can be activated or improved with the alignment of the KM strategies and business strategies.

Since service innovation is considered as a new way to gain an advantage in a highly competitive environment, it is imperative for companies to align their service innovation strategy with their business strategy in order to achieve better firm performance. Accordingly, a critical challenge facing firms is how to effectively organize and manage a well-planned service innovation strategy in accordance with the direction of their business strategy. Firms with a good fit between business strategy (i.e., cost leadership, innovative differentiation, and marketing differentiation strategies) and service innovation strategy (service creation-focused, service delivery-focused, and client interface-focused strategies) are expected to have better firm performance than those without such a fit. Based on empirical data from 209 service firms in South Korea, this study aims first to investigate whether a certain service innovation strategy is more effective than others within a particular business strategy. We then examine whether their effective alignment positively affects firm performance. The empirical evidence indicates that the alignment of service innovation strategy with business strategy significantly influences firm performance. The adoption of service innovation strategy was found to have positive effects on firm performance with innovative differentiation and marketing differentiation strategies and negative effects with cost leadership strategy. Lastly, we discuss our study's implications for further research and practice.

In recent years, many leading corporations are actively adopting IT as competitive resources to improve productivity and processes efficiency with strategic alignments. In effect, IT investment also continues to increase. As a vast growth of IT investment, questions and criticism on recent IT investment results are also rapidly being raised. Especially, improper decision making and management on IT investment may cause negative impact on the company's reputation and finances, therefore companies need reasonable and wise investment decision making on new IT projects. This study applies the conceptual framework of IT governance to IT investment decision making cases to examine how IT investment governance influences the quality of IT investment decision making and how business-IT strategic alignment affects the quality of IT investment decision making. This paper contributes to identify the main factors for reasonable and effective IT investment decision making and expected to provide proper guidelines for IT investment decision making.

엔터프라이즈 정보화를 추진하는데 있어서 가장 심각한 문제 중 하나는 서로 연계 통합되지 않은 사일로(Silo) 시스템 문제이다. 정보전략계획(Information Strategy Planning)은 비즈니스에 필요한 개별시스템 기능성 도출에 국한되어 오히려 이러한 사일로 문제를 가중시키고 있다. 본 연구는 엔터프라이즈 사일로 문제가 엔터프라이즈 제반 요소들이 가지는 관계에 대한 총체적 시각, 곧 '아키텍처적 시각'이 부재하기 때문이라고 보고, 이러한 엔터프라이즈 요소간 관계를 정의하고 체계화할 수 있는 '엔터프라이즈 아키텍처 지향 모델'을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 엔터프라이즈 제반 구성요소들 상호간에 수직적, 수평적 관계성을 부여하고 엔터프라이즈가 이들 관계에 있어서 거치는 진화의 단계를 설정한다. 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처 지향 모델에서 수직적 관계는 Kaplan과 Norton의 연구로부터 도출된 성과, 역량, 전략이라는 세 요소가 조직 상하간에 전략적 관리적 측면에서 '연계(Alignment)'되어야 함을 의미한다. 수평적 관계는 Ross 등이 통합 대상으로 다룬 정보기술, 데이터/프로세스, 비즈니스 컴포넌트 요소들이 수평 조직간에 기능적 실행적 측면에서 '통합(Integration)'되어야 함을 강조한다. 본 모델은 엔터프라이즈의 현재와 미래 아키텍처를 사상하는 개념공간으로서 엔터프라이즈의 현재 모습을 파악하고 엔터프라이즈가 지향하는 미래 모습을 도출하며 현재에서 미래로의 이행을 인도하는 개념적 틀로서 작용하게 된다. 끝으로 본 모델의 적용 사례를 들고 모델의 적용이 각 엔터프라이즈가 지향하는 엔터프라이즈 모습에 따라 어떻게 달라질 수 있는지를 논의한다.

Bonding glasses is one of the important PDP (Plasma Panel Display) manufacturing processes. Bonding process includes aligning front and rear glasses with fixing clips. In this process, clips have to maintain perfect alignment between the front and rear glasses. The panel which is fixed by clips goes to next process called sealing. The sealing process is performed in high temperature ($465^{\circ}C$). During sealing process, alignment is very important because it can affect seriously on the PDP screen quality. This study suggests redesigned clips to improve PDP panel alignment and also shows stabilization of clips in a high temperature during sealing process.
