Electronic Data Interchange(EDI) has the potential to improve business operations by expediting the exchange of business documents. It will also provide substantive operational and strategic benefits to the trading firms. However, the successful implementation of EDI systems requires the mutual trust and cooperation between the trading firms. The extent of EDI diffusion and performance depends on inter-organizational, intra-organizational, as well as innovation factors. Researches based on the sociopolitical process framework in the use of IT, organizational theory, resource dependence theory, and innovation diffusion theory have identified 3 inter-organizational variables(transaction climate, dependence, external IS expert support) and 4 intra-organizational variables(strategic IS planning, infrastructure, top management support, education/training,), and 3 innovation variables(compatibility, relative advantage, cost) that affect EDI diffusion. In this study, a multi-dimensional measure on EDI diffusion has been developed to capture the external and internal integration. Then, the influence of these 10 variables on the extent to which the EDI adopting firms pursue diffusion has been examined. Whether more diffusion leads to superior performance has also been studied. International trade managers from 107 firms in the trade industry participated in a field survey. The results based on a structural equation model(SEM), developed using AMOS, provide quite a strong support for the hypothesized relations. Both education/training and IT infrastructure influenced external and internal diffusion of EDI systems. Internal diffusion of EDI enables the adopting firms to improve operational and strategic performance, whereas external diffusion contributes only to operational performance.

지금까지 EDI의 연구는 EDI 도입과 성과에 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 그러나 최근 EDI의 확산에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 첫째, EDI 확산의 여러 요인을 찾고, 두 번째 EDI 확산 요인과 EDI 확산 정도와의 관계를 밝혀보고자 한다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 본 연구에서 채택된 두가지 방법론은 첫째, 선행연구들을 폭넓게 분석하여 모델을 구축하는 것이며, 둘째 EDI 확산요인을 탐색하는 실험적 연구방법이다. 본 연구가설을 검증한 결과 첫째, EDI 내부확산에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수들은 최고경영자의 지원, 업무범위, 정보기반, 적합성, 복잡성, 상대적 이익, 경쟁정도, 거래상대방 압력을 들 수 있고, 둘째 EDI의 외부확산에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수들은 최고 경영자의 지원, 업무범위, 정보기반, 적합성, 상대적 이익, 경쟁정도, 거래상대방 압력 이다. 최고경영자의 지원, 업무 범위, 정보기반, 적합성, 상대적 이익, 경쟁 정도 그리고 거래상대방 압력이 EDI 내부확산과 외부확산에 동시에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있다.

This paper draws on the interdependence theory to examine the role of power and mutual dependence on the relationship between internal/external diffusion and performance improvement within a supply chain. The results from a survey of 375 respondents show that two patterns of IOS diffusion - internal diffusion and external diffusion - have different impacts on a firm's performance improvement according to differences in power and mutual dependence between two parties in the supply chain.

In reality, we can observe anomalous diffusion patterns of cycle-recycle or rejuvenation. Abrupt changes in the market environment such as sudden currency devaluation or change in government policy or those in marketing strategies such as drastic repositioning can lead to such atypical diffusion patterns. The authors present extended Bass models that incorporate effects of such abrupt changes of external factors into the hazard rate and the market potential. Using a set of compact-car data affected by a drastic change in the government policy, they illustrate the strengths of the proposed models.

The direct calculation method is generalized to the excited-state diffusion-influenced reversible reaction of a neutral and a charged particle under an external field with two different lifetimes and quenching in three dimensions. The present method provides an alternative way to calculate the binding probability density functions and the survival probabilities from the corresponding irreversible results. The solutions are obtained as the series solutions by the diagonal approximation due to the anisotropy of the unidirectional external field. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with those of the previous study [S. Y. Reigh et al. J. Chem. Phys. 132, 164112 (2010)] within a weak field limit. The solutions of two approaches show qualitatively the same overall behavior including the power laws at long times.

This study, drawing upon research in innovation theory and Information systems, investigates the relationship among the organizational and innovation characteristics and the extent of internal and external diffusion of EDI in Korean firms. The data for this study were collected from 131 firms that have implemented EDI. The results of the correlation and the multiple regression analysis show that elapsed time and organizational compatibility are the major predictors of EDI diffusion. Specifically, the extent of communication, elapsed time and organizational compatibility are the major predictors of internal diffusion, while centralization, organizational compatibility and elapsed time are closely related to external diffusion of EDI. The results of this study imply that to facilitate the use of EDI widely within and beyond organizations, EDI system should be compatibile with the organizational tasks, values systems and existing information systems.

Lately, knowledge-based society comes, it is important for enterprises to creatively utilize knowledge of technology for technological innovation. So, Technological innovation capacity of enterprises is important factor of business success. To improve technological innovation capacity, enterprises should well utilize their internal knowledges and external knowledges which come from technological diffusion. To well utilize external knowledges of enterprises they should well understand external knowledge flow. Especially knowledge flow also occurs frequently between nations, understanding of knowledge flow which occurs between nations is important to improve nation`s technological innovation capacity. So this paper presents comparison of technological innovation capacity and knowledge diffusion flow between nations.

Electronic Data Interchange(EDI) is a relatively new technique around the world and enables the firm more competitive because of transmitting computer-generated documents directly to a firm's trading partner's computer across a telecommunication network. This study investigates the relationship among the organizational characteristics and information systems(IS) maturity, and the extent of internal and external diffusion of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in Korean firms. The data for this study were collected from 131 firms that have implemented EDI. The results of t-test show that subgroups classified by industry, the extent of decentralization and formalization, and IS maturity, except the size of organization, are not different in the extent EDI diffusion. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis show that the size of organization is the major predictor of internal diffusion, and IS maturity and the size of organization are the major predictors in external diffusion of EDI. This study implies that the size of organization among organization characteristics and IS maturity should be considered as important variables for the diffusion of EDI system.
