Studies in key account management (KAM) have identified the importance of cross-functional coordination in firms to effectively implement KAM. However, these studies have ignored how companies integrate KAM and other customer management (non-KAM). This paper explores coordination design between KAM units and non-KAM units by analyzing a case study through three dimensions: front-end coordination, back-end-coordination, and organizational translation at the beginning of research. The case study shows that non-KAM conditions can require a modification of the coordination design. This research performs an in-depth analysis of changes in the implementation of sales reforms for an IT-related machinery and system vendor in Japan. Data sources include interviews with KAM units and non-KAM sales units and an analysis of secondary data. This paper suggests that studying the coordination between KAM units and non-KAM units will further our understanding of internal coordination in KAM research.

This study was complied to analyze the professional agricultural techniques level and to suggest a desirable direction for the professional education system for women farmer. The research was conducted by using in-field surveys and interviews. Data was gathered by questionnaire from 147 women farmer in five specialized crop regions: strawberry, cucumber, rose, apple, and oyster mushroom. The results obtained are as follows. First, the technique levels in computer usage and electronic commerce, machinery usage, pesticide and fertilizer utilization, facility automation, and eco-agricultural cultivation were low. Second, the demand for professional education, evaluated through technique level by standard management diagnosis, was recognized. Areas of concern included: cucumber (temperature control, carbonic acid gas control, grading, funds management), strawberry (light control, soil temperature control, irrigation watering, shipping), rose (temperature control, light control, funds management, cooperated management), oyster mushroom (growth cabinet sterilizer), and apple (flower bud pinching, defloration, fruit thinning, funds management). Based on the results of this study, the following are suggestions for the planning of a professional education system for women farmer. First, it needs to address formal education in marketing, machinery usage, facilities automation, and techniques in pesticide and fertilizer utilization. Second, it needs to be a multi- level program with appropriate terminology at every level which is suitable to each age and ability of women farmer. Third, it needs a more comprehensive manual developed by need analysis of women farmer and a larger lecturer pool for professional education.

Sales force automation (SFA) technologies are increasingly used to support customer relationship management (CRM) strategies. However, the popular press reports mixed results among companies incorporating SFA technologies and the previous studies have less interested in relationship quality between sales person and customer as an outcome of SFA. Actually the improved quality of the salesperson-customer relationship may be the most important outcome of SFA usage. This outcome is especially meaningful in today's marketplace given the increasing focus placed on customer retention and other customer related performance such as customer lifetime value. Therefore, this study seeks to further examine the impact of SFA usage within two different firms using SFA technologies to examine the impact of SFA usage on both customer relationship quality and sales performance. Additionally, the moderating roles of perceived managerial support and salesperson experience on the outcomes of SFA usage are examined. The results shows that direct effect of SFA usage on performance was not significant but highlight the mediating role of customer relationship quality in the SFA usage - sales performance relationship. Also, this research examines a number of moderating effects of both management supports for SFA and salesperson's sales work experience. The results indicate that management support has a significant direct influence on relationship quality and salesperson performance, but not a significant moderating effect on the relationship between SFA usage and the outcomes (relationship quality and performance). Thus moderating effects were not supported but find significant main effects. First of all, finding of this study suggest that a formula for successful SFA implementation must be one that highlights a SFA usage → relationship quality → sales performance sequence. This means when sales person use SFA they must build relationship with customer first then will return some long term performance. Second, the implications of not considering the introduction of big technology initiatives in terms of fit within the company's culture, strategy, structure, and environment may in many cases be quite noteworthy. Therefore, the launching of a new technology in the firm, such as SFA, may have a nonlinear impact upon overall firm performance, depending on the presence of other complimentary resources and capabilities. Finally the authors offer a number of implications for research and practice, and suggest directions for future SFA research that may further improve our understanding of this increasingly relevant topic.

Human error (HE) is an important concern in safety-critical systems such as nuclear power plants (NPPs). HE has played a role in many accidents and outage incidents in NPPs. Despite the increased automation in NPPs, HE remains unavoidable. Hence, the need for HE detection is as important as HE prevention efforts. In NPPs, HE is rather rare. Hence, anomaly detection, a widely used machine learning technique for detecting rare anomalous instances, can be repurposed to detect potential HE. In this study, we develop an unsupervised anomaly detection technique based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) to detect anomalies in manually collected surveillance data in NPPs. More specifically, our GAN is trained to detect mismatches between automatically recorded sensor data and manually collected surveillance data, and hence, identify anomalous instances that can be attributed to HE. We test our GAN on both a real-world dataset and an external dataset obtained from a testbed, and we benchmark our results against state-of-the-art unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms, including one-class support vector machine and isolation forest. Our results show that the proposed GAN provides improved anomaly detection performance. Our study is promising for the future development of artificial intelligence based HE detection systems.

투어리즘 혹은 여행은 타지를 방문하는 사람들의 각종 서비스들의 집합으로 이루어진다. 결제는 이와 같은 활동들이 종료되는 시점을 표시하고 다음 활동으로 이어지는 접점이 된다. 최근 모바일 핀테크(Fintech) 기술이 발전하면서 편리하고 안전한 금융거래 서비스가 여행의 질을 높이고 있다. 모바일 인터넷 기술의 진보로 투어리즘은 정보기술에 더욱 더 의존적으로 변하고 있으며 핀테크 기술은 이때 유의미한 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 결제와 관련된 정보가 추가적인 마케팅 프로모션 활동에 활용되지 못한다는 점은 문제다. 벤처 창업 연구에 있어 결제와 관련된 핀테크 서비스를 확장한 정보기술 기반의 비즈니스 모형에 관한 연구의 부족은 결제 이후의 가치 창출 과정을 통해 새로운 비즈니스를 창발시킬 수 있는 가능성에 대한 이해는 저해한다. 이와 같은 측면에서 본 연구를 통해 스마트 투어리즘 이론(Theory of Smart Tourism)과 서비스 지배 논리(Service-Dominant Logic)를 중심으로 결제를 출발점으로 한 새로운 비즈니스 모델을 어떻게 설계할 것인가에 대한 답을 하고자 한다. 스마트 투어리즘은 정보통신 인프라를 바탕으로 지속가능한 최적의 관광 서비스를 제공하는 방법으로 최근 각광을 받고 있다. 보다 구체적으로 한국을 방문한 중국 관광객을 대상으로 결제 이후 마케팅 프로모션 활동을 수행하는 비즈니스 모델을 상정하고 타당성과 가능성을 알아보고자 한다. 이러한 목적으로 위챗페이(WeChat Pay)의 사용자가 세금 즉시 환급 서비스를 받고 추가로 e-Coupon(모바일 전자 할인 쿠폰)을 받아 사용할 경우 여행 만족도가 어떻게 변화되는가를 관찰하였다. 이 과정에서 디자인 과학 방법론(Design Science Methodology)이 채택되었다. 본 연구는 과학적이고 학술적인 방법을 적용하여 핀테크 비즈니스 모델의 새로운 가능성을 찾아보았다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있으며 세금 환급형 상품을 중심으로 한 서비스 자동화 시스템의 필요성을 환기시킨다.
