Drug delivery systems (DDS) have entered mainstream in the pharmaceutical industry in the recent years. Major pharmaceutical companies as well as small or medium-sized biotechnology companies are developing various DDS-based products. We have established Drug Delivery System Company Database, which is an online searchable database of companies that develop DDS-based products and technologies or supply formulations and/or materials. Company summary, products and key technologies are listed in the database. DDS technology fields also include administration routes and indications of drugs. DDS terminologies, Statistical analysis, Useful Links, Glossary and Comments pages are also provided.

This paper presents a methodology for the development of a part classification and coding system suited to each individual company. When coding a group of parts for a specific company by a general purpose part classification & coding system like OPITZ system, it is frequently observed that we use only a small subset of total available code numbers. Such sparsity in the actual occurrences of code numbers implies that we can design a better system which uses digits of the system more parsimoniously. A 2-dimensional fuzzy ISODATA algorithm is developed to extract the important characteristics for the classification from the set of given parts. Based on the extracted characteristics nd the distances between fuzzy clustering cenetroids, a company-unique classification and coding system can be developed. An example case study for a medium sized machine shop is presented.

Research on employee commitment to the organization is necessary for human resource management, and the result is applied in practice to improve organizational effectiveness. The aim of the present study is to explore factors affecting organizational commitment at the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. Besides, the relationship between organizational commitment and job performance is examined as well. The research was conducted on a sample consisting of 67 white-collar workers and 260 blue-collar workers at SMEs. A total of 327 valid complete questionnaires were input into SPSS 20 database for processing to provide evidence. The research model and hypotheses were tested using the technique of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The research resultsrevealed that income, reward and welfare, direct manager, working environment, coworker, and promotion opportunity tended to associate positively with organizational commitment. Besides, the finding also showed that, when the employee has a high organizational commitment, it would lead to high job performance. The main findings of this study provided some managerial implications for SMEs, in general, and managers, in particular. It implies that Vietnam's small and medium-sized enterprises should improve these six factors to retain employees as well as enhance their job performance.

Information System is a critical success factor for overcoming the limitations of asset and capacity of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), and for acquiring competitiveness. Although, the rate of adopting information system by SME has grown, the rate of its utilization has been stagnant. The purpose of this study is to identify the influencing factors that increase SME's information system utilization. We identify perception of strategic value, supplier's support capacity, and organizational characteristic by examining previous researches on information system utilization by SMEs, and verify their the influencing relationship with the information system utilization. This study verifies the research model and hypothesis using structural model. A date-set of 1209 samples from a survey on employees in charge of information system of SME was applied in verifying the research hypothesis. The result of this study shows that the information system utilization influences perception of strategic value and support of supply company, and partly, the structural characteristics. This study presents directions to establish strategy and policy making, and theoretically presents core factors of SME's information system utilization.

The study aims to investigate the mediating effect of strategic planning on the relationship between managerial skills and the performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Punjab, Pakistan. Stratified proportionate probability sample method was used to select the 265 SMEs. The study applied a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the proposed research hypotheses by using PLS-SEM. This research examines the direct and indirect effects of strategic planning on the performance of SMEs using the SEM test. The results indicate the positive effect of managerial skills on SMEs' performance and also suggested that strategic planning mediates the relationship between managerial skills and SMEs' performance. In addition, the role of managerial skills on the usage of the company's resources is highly influential through strategic planning. Strategic planning has been found to impact significantly and positively on the relationship between managerial skills and performance of SMEs in Punjab, Pakistan. The findings suggested that, in devising appropriate strategies for SMEs, the effect of managerial skills on the utilization of the firm's resources can be more effective to the firm's performance. In short, the utilization of a firm's resources through a proper planning is more essential for the sustainability of SMEs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Chinese investment environment and analyze the actual investment condition of Korean enterprises in China and examine the points at issue. In general, the investment environment in China shows satisfactory progress. China has a multiple and regional extension policy in investment. And the environment for investment changes to insufficiency of company profit, extension of service market, maintenance of legislative system, and insufficiency of preference about foreign company. There are situations of inclining to manufacturing, inclining of region, preference of independence investment, small-sized investment by small and medium enterprises, difficulty of financial assistance, excess of logistic cost, delay of logistic term, difficulty of settlement of legal dispute and difficulty of taking a relative information in investment of Korean enterprise in China. The results of the study indicate mostly that the investment of Korean enterprise into China needs turnover of service trade-tertiary industry, portfolio of investment territory, cooperation with Chinese enterprise through joint venture investment and a large-scale investment for extension of Chinese domestic market.

A production system in domestic shoes companies has difficulty in achieving automation and information because of insufficiency of flexibility and standardization. Particularly small and medium sized shoes companies producing by OEM have tendency to chase the given production schedule blindly without considering major factors that may affect the production. Therefore, the production schedules or the process conditions can not be optimally set and are extemporized by the experience in the past. These behaviors cause low productivity and financial loss. To maximize efficiency and productivity of the shoe-making process, we develop a simulation model based on a production system in small and medium sized shoes companies. The model has been developed using ARENA which has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool to simulate various manufacturing systems. Using the simulation model, we find out several problems for the production process, and then suggest several alternatives to improve the system.

국내 소프트웨어산업의 진흥을 위하여 공공 System Integration(이하 SI) 시장에 대기업 참여를 전면적으로 제한하는 소프트웨어산업진흥법 개정안이 발효됨에 따라 공공 SI 시장이 중소기업위주로 개편되어야 할 상황에 놓여 있다. 그러나 공공 SI 시장은 중소기업이 감당하기에 무리가 따르는 대형 SI 프로젝트가 다수여서, 대형 SI 프로젝트를 발주해야 만하는 발주기관은 당혹해 하고 있고, 어느 중소기업도 자신의 한계를 넘는 대형 프로젝트 수주를 위해 적극적으로 뛰어들지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 중소기업위주의 SI 시장 활성화를 위하여 취해야 할 접근 방법을 제안한다.

이탈리아는 1980년대에 경제적 공항기를 맞이하였으나 국민적인 단합과 디자인을 통한 산업의 발전적 도약을 이루어 세계적인 디자인 강국이 되었다. 특히 이탈리아는 Clusters System이라는 단계별 구조 속에서 중소기업들이 각 지역에서 동 업종에 의해 집적되어있고, 유연성, 상상력, 과단성이 있는 중소기업의 탄력적인 경영 방식, 가족 경영, 컨소시엄의 발전 등이 특징이다. 이러한 이탈리아의 디자인 경쟁력 강화 요인들을 도입하여 우리나라의 디자인 산업의 경쟁력을 강화시킬 수 있는 방안을 연구하였다. 우리나라는 장인정신, 혈연중시, 지역특성을 지니고 있으므로 지역의 특산품과 전통공예품 등을 상품화하여 세계화시킬 수 있고, 생산과정의 전문화된 구조와 중소기업간의 컨소시엄으로 경제적 효율을 높일 수 있고, 소비자와 생산자를 긴밀하게 연결시켜 시장에서 경쟁력을 키운다면 우리나라도 디자인 강국이 될 수 있다.
