Japanese enterprise self-denied the characteristic of Japanese management by introducing the performance-based evaluation and became the result of weakening global competitiveness. As a result, it comes at time when the new human management system is considered.
Labor and management should cooperate there, and working aim at the enterprise where it exists. Becoming the key word is motivation.The necessity of the work life balance like the talent use of the woman etc. increases.
It is not a trade-off relation to improve employee's quality, and to raise the profit of the enterprise. Something is considered so that the young and old man and woman may invent the service of high-value-added healthily and enthusiastically as what the enterprise should do.

The purpose of competitive strategy is to realize a competitive advantage to a competitor. It is supposed that excellent competitive strategy is to be designed with an analytic approach.
However, in the business of the real world, when a manager makes decisions, management resources begin to function and the enterprise is developing dynamically.
Moreover, a management base is formed by continuous decision-making and management strategy comes to be affected to the management base. Furthermore, competition is also affected in the strategies of the other companies.
In such a dynamic competition structure, we cannot design the competitive strategy in advance. So, in this research, I show clearly what kind of strategy is effective by using a business game.

Entering 21st Century, being pressed for financial globalization, it has become imperative for Japanese financial institutions including banks and securities companies to establish global strategy and strategic information systems (SIS), yet such development has been delayed due to computer network system failures. In the past, those failures were often treated as technical issues. This study aims to make a different approach by clarifying the background and treating them as ones resulting from a strategic management. The author analyzes two case studies; a study on a city bank aspired to be a megabank and a study on Tokyo Stock exchange, a core institution of stock exchange, so as to indicate main challenges as well as measures which Japanese financial institutions face in developing SIS.

Organizations are increasingly using teams which consist of members from different divisions . Such a business form, called a cross-functional team, needs to be
made taking account not only of individuals' performance or management cost, but also of interactions or
relationships among individuals. In this research, a method for formation of cross-functional teams, with
the consideration on social networks on individuals who are the candidates for the team, is proposed.
Social networks in this method describe the interactions or the relationships among the candidates. This
research adopts an approach with agent-based simulation for the analysis of the formation of cross-

This essay focuses on the transition from "hourly-paid wage setting system", in which over time premium is paid based on the overtime working hour, to "performance-based payment system" such as white-collar exemption system. Precisely, the essay analyze whether the said transition can be selected as a reasonable decision for both employers and workers, in other word, the outcome of the choice correspondence, which require better outcome for both, can be included in the set of solution of SPE. If so, the essay identifies the conditions of "environment" of wage setting which is required for the model to be SPE "implementable".

We propose a new DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) approach to assess the operational, environmental and both-unified performance of U.S. coal-fired power plants. The economic activities of power plants examined by this study are characterized by four inputs, a desirable (good) output and three undesirable (bad) outputs. The proposed approach finds that the CAA (Clean Air Act) has been increasingly effective on their environmental protection. The increased environmental performance leads to the enhancement of the unified efficiency.

CSR activities with externality are divided into two categories. One is some activities which use firm's know-how (e.g. donating shoes by some shoes company). The other one is a donation by sales (e.g. using the part of sales for development of developing country). Because the firm needs to add cost of CSR activities to price of goods, it may be forced to choose which activity they should do for consumers. We analyse the difference of incentive between the CSR activities for the company and social desirability with respect to the way how the firm supplies CSR activities. We show that, under some conditions, the former CSR activity is desirable, but firms have higher incentive to choose latter CSR activity.

This study proposed an idea which provides computational aid to management including monitoring, analysis and navigation of knowledge workers activities. Distinguished from the existing knowledge systems, this system has two specific features. Firstly, peoples activities and knowledge creating processes instead of knowledge objects are focused in this system. Secondly, it effectively helps to manage not only explicit knowledge, but also tacit knowledge through a systemic approach. With clearly specified management principles, artificial intelligence are capable to understand the implication of these key activities and navigate them towards the continuity of knowledge creation spiral.

Information systems have been designed as information processing systems based on a computer and a telecommunication network. However, the spread to various users of information system based on advanced technologies transfigure an information system itself greatly. Also the user is the developer, operator and manager of the information processing systems like EUD not only as a beneficiary of a mere functional benefit. On the other hand, however, the policy concern with maintenance and management of the information system is neglected. Therefore, the system become malfunction and sometimes fatal situations. In this paper, an information system is reconsidered as symbiosis environment of the technological system and the users, which was adapted for the present information environment.

There has been a strong need for improving software quality in industry. Quality prediction based on the limited number of software metrics which can be easily collected in practice is highly demanded. The Rayleigh model which can predict the number of total defects based on defect detection history of the target project is one of the promising techniques to meet such needs. However, the model has several problems to be solved for practical application. One of the problems is that the model would predict smaller number of total defects than the number of defects which had already detected. The authors propose a method to resolve this inconsistency by introducing the idea of conditional probability. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through real software project data.

Recently, the micro-grid system with batteries has gaining attentions as this type of system can compensate the inherent deficiency of the photovoltaic systems that its output volume fluctuates. In this paper, we propose an operational model for this type of micro-grid. The model aims to minimize the volume of electricity purchased from outside given the expected volume by photovoltaic generation, which is, based on solar radiation forecast. We also have verified the effectiveness of the model by means of numerical simulations.

In order to reduce development costs and to secure high skill resources, many software developers are promoting offshoring to China. We analyze the success factors of offshoring from the data accumulated in the project information sharing system. It shows that the projects with fewer specification defects resulting in lower inquiry volume are more likely to be successful. So are the projects in which the average time required to answer the inquiries is shorter. All the projects in which the average answer time exceeds two days fail. It was confirmed from the analysis that the reduction of specification defects and the tightening of the communication with offshore developers are the key success factors.

Organizational knowledge-creating processes rely on tacit powers of knowing and creativity of organization members. This paper proposes an approach to utilize a systems methodology as a tool for cultivating and disseminating such powers. For the purpose we first devise an ideal type of organizational knowledge-creating processes. Then a systems methodology is updated by comparing it with the derived ideal type, and hence an application process of the updated systems methodology can be formally regarded as an organizational knowledge-creating process. Finally, it is shown that such a systems methodology may be utilized for disseminating tacit powers of talented persons as its users to organization members.

In this paper, the authors propose a knowledge utilization model and derive its statistical models by using the questionnaire data collected from Japanese software quality management practitioners. The result showed that the different models were derived corresponding to knowledge domains, and that both surface and deep level externalized knowledge have influences on knowledge utilization especially for the knowledge domain of post-release software problems.

There is, however, a room to develop the performance for multivalued classification problems, although RVM is known as an excellent two-class classifier. Then, we propose in this paper a technique for multivalued classification by the redundant configuration of two-class classifiers and calculation of the posterior probability by using the property that RVM is a probabilistic model. The proposed technique is applied to a classification problem of newspaper articles to show its effectiveness, then, it is verified that the classification accuracy is improved.

In this study, we depict a prototype of "Conceptual Form Engine."

A large number of earlier studies partially revealed the mechanism of the non-performing loan accumulation of Japanese banks in 1990s. However, no study has yet conducted the variable selections from the mound of factors including the competitive environment, the monitoring stance to borrowers, the dependency on specific counter-parties, or the characteristics of bank managers. This study, using an artificial intelligence approach, explored some key influential factors on the accumulation of non-performing loans. As a result, (1) the allocation of management resources to borrowers, (2) the dependency on some specific counter-parties, and (3) the delay in the reduction of non-core expenses have been proven a key factor, in the past and present.
