Manufacturing firms face a paradigm shift from industrial systems driven by efficiency to post-industrial systems where success depends on a quick-response to customer demands for a variety of high-quality products. In essence, time is becoming a critical dimension for competition. New information technologies allow many firms to pursue time-based competitive strategies. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship among the types of information technology, behaviors of suppliers, the structures of new product development processes, and the competitiveness of the firms. The data for this study were collected from 96 Korean manufacturing firms that have implemented certain types of information technologies. Research results from LISREL analysis confirm that the competitiveness comes from product innovation capabilities and innovative product development process. But the linkage between the information technologies and the firms' competitiveness proves to be indirect. Suppliers, organizational culture related to IT, and some other factors also have indirect impact on the competitiveness. A summarized report of other findings is provided as well.

The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the quality competence as a source of competitive advantages. The relationship between quality priority and competitive priority, and the relationship between quality competence and competitive capability are investigated using data collected from 114 manufacturing business units of 75 manufacturing companies. Several measures are used to characterize competitive strategy and value chain, and quality factors including conformance, reliability, durability, performance, and customization. The result indicates that the quality competence paired with competitive strategy positively influences the level of competitiveness, but management performances are not strongly correlated with quality competence.

TQM has been applied to the industry area regardless of the size of company. BNQA model should be identically applied to large companies and small & medium-sized company. However, there are many evidences that TQM model should be modified according to the size of company. In this study, we analyzed the practice of TQM in Korean small & medium-sized Company. Also, we tried to give some suggestions for improving the competitiveness of the small & medium-sized company. The result of this study is that leadership, work system, education and strategy development should be improved in domestic companies, and work system, education and strategy deployment should be improved in foreign companies.

Recently ('70~'76) the average annual export expansion rate was 31.7% (the foremost rate in the world). In '77 the export amounted to 10 billion dollars, and 12.7 billion dollars in '78. The tendeney has been to increase yearly. In view of the structure of export goods, the major export products have been changed from primary industrial materials (86% of the total export in '76) to industrial products (82% in '75). These trends are due to the remarkable progress in the technology advancement. Only 33.6% of the total export items can compete with those of advanced industrial countries in both of price and non-price competitiveness, therefore ours stand in weak position to that of advanced industrial countries. In order to promote good will and strengthen international competitiveness, the major stress of this paper is first of all on the problems of Quality Control, which covers the present states and derived problems of Quality control. These are investigated and analyzed to insure the rational application of Quality Control to the major export goods with a view of the establishment of the direction and systematic improving means of Quality Control.

본 연구는 중국 동부지역 11개 성의 요양원 경쟁력을 비교분석하기 위하여 산업 경쟁력 이론에 근거한 평가지표체계를 설정하고, 계층분석법(AHP)을 이용하였다. 자료는 "중국민정통계연감 2020"의 데이터를 이용하였고, 그 결과 장쑤성은 중국 동부의 11개 성 중 요양원의 경쟁력이 가장 높고 하이난성은 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 경쟁력은 중국 동부의 11개 성에서 차이가 있었다. 요양원 산업 전반에 걸쳐 '의료인력 대비 병상 비율', '요양원 비율', '요양시설 1인당 고정자산', '와상 노인의 수' 등이 크게 영향을 미치는 4대 요인으로, 요양원의 경쟁력에 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 요양원 산업이 합리적으로 발전하고 요양원의 효율성 그리고 서비스의 질이 향상될 수 있도록 지역마다 차별화된 전략을 세워야 한다.

This study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the changing vegetable sector of Chinese agriculture and to analyse the competitiveness of Chinese vegetable production. China now produces more than 60% of the world's vegetable supply and that 150 million people are engaged in vegetable production, processing and marketing since the reform of vegetable industry structure started in the late 1980s. As a labour abundant industry, China also features more comparative advantages in the vegetable trade. Although China's vegetable exports still accounts for only 1% of total production, the 5 million tons of export in 2003 makes China one of the largest vegetable players in the international markets. When estimating competitiveness of China's vegetable industry, China's producers' prices for vegetables are founded to be only from 10%~40% of what they are in Korea, while most of China's vegetables have also strong competitiveness in quality. As China joined the WTO in 2001 and expects to increase market share in vegetable trade, the development strategy for Korea's vegetable industry are suggested as follows; 1) focusing on the technology for the growth of vegetable productivity, 2) developing the higher value added vegetable industry through processing, 3) expanding the exported area and leading vegetable varieties.

Purpose - This study focused on consumer perceptions of service quality in organic food shops, the innovativeness of organic products, and which SERVQUAL sub-dimensions increase purchase intentions. Another purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between consumer perceptions of organic food shops, their direct interest in organic food, and their purchase intentions. Research design, data, and methodology - We tested our hypothesized model within a structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, utilizing path-analysis implementation. The AMOS 18.0 software was used, and we found that it fit very well with the observed data. Results - The results of the full model (structural and measurement models) indicated the following fit indices: χ²=39.492, degree of freedom=25, provability level=0.033, RMR=0.047, GFI=0.948, AGFI=0.906, NNFI=0.958, CFI=0.984, and RMSEA=0.060. The effects of service quality on purchase intention, service quality on innovativeness, and innovativeness on purchase intention we resignificant. We also examined the statistical significance of the mediation effects using the Sobeltest and found further evidence to support service quality and purchase intention through innovation. Conclusions - These results suggest that, if organic food shops want to achieve a greater level of competitiveness, they must try to raise the quality of their service and actively promote the innovativeness of organic food.
