This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which service companies transfer their services overseas and create new value while interacting with local characteristics. A narrative analysis method was used in a case study of Ajisen Ramen, a Japanese service company that created a Japanese-style ramen restaurant, which experienced rapid growth in China. This study analyzed the restaurant as global service innovation and constructed a causal mechanism to explain the resulting rapid growth. In the pre-entry stage, the tangible value source core service facilitated its successful overseas transfer. In the post-entry stage, value source core service standardization and value sharing were interrelated and locally accepted factors. Knowledge of the local characteristics influenced the local storefront format that allowed contact with local customers. This local front format made it possible to offer local customers new value. The global service innovation mechanism developed through this study reflects a causal diagram that correlated the theoretical concepts of these events.

Franchising has long been an effective form of distribution that is used primarily by manufacturers whose product lines are especially suited exclusive or highly selective distribution. By IFA(International Franchise Association), franchising is defined as a continuing relationship in which the franchisor provides a licensed privilege to do business, plus assistance in organizing, training, merchandising, and management in return for a consideration from the franchisee. Thus franchising is a method for the owner(franchisor) of product, service, or method to obtain retail or wholesale distribution through licensed, affiliated dealers(franchisees). With rapid increase of franchising industry globally, franchising industry is very rapidly increasing especially in the sector of outdoor restaurant industry in Korea. But there are many problems to be settled for promoting this industry. For example, the industry is too much lean outdoor restaurant industry. With franchisors' short history and lack of management capacity, shortage of distribution infrastructure, smaller size of franchising system, and low trust between franchisor and franchisee, and so on, the industry has many barriers to overcome for promoting it. Here we are suggesting that taxation benefaction, monetary support for the starting franchisee, establishment of fair trade principle, promoting information system and professional human resource should be needed.

It is expected that the International Expo which will be held at July 10-13, 2010, in Shanghai, China, will stimulate the growth of hotel industry in the city. The aim of the present study is to examine in advance the preference of a large number of tourists, from domestic areas as well as foreign countries, to come to Shanghai over the restaurants of 5 star-level hotels and to provide the hotel interior design related industry with the resulting data, before the upcoming Expo takes place. To this end, we selected 22 Chinese restaurants of medium-sized 5 star hotels in Shanghai to survey opinions of the customers on their interior design. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed to a total of 30 native Chinese people and 30 foreigners, and their responses were analyzed using the SPSS program. As a result, we were able to evaluate the similar and different preference of the natives versus foreigners on the elements of the restaurant interior design. In 2010, the number of public and business people to visit hotel restaurants in Shanghai will increase, in consequence of the International Expo. Taking this into account, our result suggests that a design style combining 'naturality', 'modernity', and 'elegancy' to each other in harmony be considered for the interior design of the 5 star-level hotels in the city. On one hand, a restaurant could be designed primarily considering the taste which is specific to either native Chinese people or foreigners, based on their different fondness demonstrated in our study. On the other hand, a priority on the design could be given to their similar preference targeting both sides.
