TL;DR: In this article, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) decision model for facility location selection from the view of organizations which contemplate locations of a new facility or a relocation of existing facilities is presented.
Abstract: Presents an AHP (analytical hierarchy process) decision model for facility location selection from the view of organizations which contemplate locations of a new facility or a relocation of existing facilities. The AHP model provides a framework to assist managers in analysing various location factors, evaluating location site alternatives, and making final location selections. The primary principle of the AHP model is to match decision‐makers’ preferences with location site characteristics. The model requires that a number of potential sites have been proposed. Alternatives are then evaluated and compared under both quantitative and qualitative factors to allow managers to incorporate managerial experiences and judgement in the solution process. Uses an example problem to illustrate the solution process. Addresses managerial implications for future research.

TL;DR: It is revealed that only the utilitarian influence has resulted in statistically significant difference between China and US mobile phone buyers, and another two reference group influences, informational and value-expressive, have relative insignificant impacts.
Abstract: This paper describes a comparative study investigating the influence of different reference group on consumer purchasing behaviour between the mobile phone users of USA and China. This study reveals that among the three reference group influence examined, only the utilitarian influence has resulted in statistically significant difference between China and US mobile phone buyers, and another two reference group influences, informational and value-expressive, have relative insignificant impacts. Based on the results of this study, managerial insights and practical implications for marketing strategies in the mobile phone market are recommended accordingly.

TL;DR: This study shows that for foreign investors, by identifying key success factors and then incorporating those factors into firm’s long‐term business strategies and policies can enhance their business opportunities in China for a long time to come, even under China's current complex economic and marketing conditions.
Abstract: China has become one of the top three nations for attracting foreign investment in the international market since 1990. Hundreds of international corporations are currently competing for business opportunities in China in the form of joint venture or direct investment. Both successful joint ventures and failed investments have been reported. Research, addressing issues of the conflicts between different cultures, traditions, as well as value systems, has appeared recently, but few focuses on identifying the key factors and their managerial implications for foreign investors to successfully enter China’s market. This paper presents an application of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in such an effort, through a case study of China Motorola. This study shows that for foreign investors, by identifying key success factors and then incorporating those factors into firm’s long‐term business strategies and policies can enhance their business opportunities in China for a long time to come, even under China’s current complex economic and marketing conditions.

TL;DR: Lee et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the issues of teaching ERP systems in a supply chain management course and evaluated the effectiveness of students' perception of learning ERP system in a Supply Chain Management course.
Abstract: The major purpose of this paper is to investigation the issues of teaching ERP systems in a supply chain management course. The secondary purpose of the paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of students’ perception of learning ERP systems in a supply chain management course. INTRODUCTION Supply chain management (SCM) refers to an information system that integrates all the business processes throughout the supply chain from suppliers to customers. (Turban, Rainer, & Potter, 2003). Supply chain management can be dived into two parts: Supply chain planning systems and supply chain execution systems. Supply chain executive systems are quite similar to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems because they both focus on the operational level. The basic philosophy of ERP is to incorporate order entry, purchasing, production, and direct interfaces with customers and suppliers such as customer relationship management (CRM) and business information warehouse (BW). An important feature of an ERP system is its global supply chain network. A company may use a full integrated ERP system to receive an electronic order from a customer in Italy, issue the necessary purchase orders for parts to suppliers in Mexico, plan for assembly, and notify shippers on both ends of the transactions. ERP in general provides a broad range of general benefits such as efficiency, increased quality, improved customer relationship, and enhanced vendor relations. (Lee & Chen, 2005) Supply chain management is one of the rising fields in the business schools today. In term of software, ERP and SCM have many similar modules. Many people think that ERP is an important subject for the SCM course since it affects the concept of supply chain management (Becerra-Fernandez, et al., 2000). ERP evolved from the Material Requirements Planning II (MRP II) system. For more than two decades MRP II was the major software for production planning and control in the industry. MRP II, however, is obsolete with Internet, new global competition, multi-plant international sites, and new supply-chain management (Lee & Chen, 2005). Many universities today offer a course or a program in supply chain management and ERP courses. Therefore, the major purpose of this paper is to study the issues of teaching ERP systems in a supply chain management course. The secondary purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ERP modules for teaching supply chain management courses. This is an important area of study because the outcome of this research could lead to the development of a teaching model for other business courses such as Marketing Information Systems and Production/Operations Management. Teaching ERP Systems in the Supply Chain Management Course Huei Lee, Kuo Lane Chenc, & Jiaqin Yang Communications of the IIMA 78 2006 Volume 6 Issue 3 RESEARCH DESIGN The purpose of this study is to investigate teaching Enterprise Resource Planning system in a supply chain management course. Five SAP models were used for in explaining the concept of supply chain management in a SCM course offered by the College of Business at an AACSB accredited university in Michigan. In this study, the remote access system developed by the SAP University Alliances program was used. The research design was used by authors (Chen and Lee ,2005). This study continues the work in Lee and Chen (2005). Population and Sample Size The subjects for this study were students enrolled in a three-credit-hour course, “Information Technology in Supply Chain Management”. This course was taught by a CIS professor. There were 20 students in the class. The survey instruments used in this research were a specific survey questionnaire about SAP and student evaluations after the classes. Pre-Testing the Model for Applicability and Completeness Prior to the 2004 spring study, the online model was tested for applicability and completeness. A demonstration of the completed model was given for several different classes during the Winter/Fall 2003 semesters. These students were all given a short survey to gather information on their attitude and evaluation of the application after seeing it in a demonstration mode. The classes which participated in this survey were two sections of the Information Resource Management class and one section of the 200 level of Business Information System class.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to incorporate the concept of the Bell-LaPadula model in the design of supply chain network, originally used in the military as a classification system.
Abstract: One of major issues in the design of the supply chain networks is security. Security becomes an even more important issue when the supply chain is a global network. The purpose of this paper is to incorporate the concept of the Bell-LaPadula model in the design of supply chain network. The Bell-Lapadula model is originally used in the military as a classification system (Bishop, 2003). Most suppliers are in a competitive position in bidding the price for the manufacturers; therefore, information should be classified as different security levels in the information sharing in a supply chain network.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods for the selection of facility location.
Abstract: Facility location selection is a multi-criteria decision problem and has a strategic importance for many companies. The conventional methods for facility location selection are inadequate for dealing with the imprecise or vague nature of linguistic assessment. To overcome this difficulty, fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methods are proposed. The aim of this study is to use fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods for the selection of facility location. The proposed methods have been applied to a facility location selection problem of a textile company in Turkey. After determining the criteria that affect the facility location decisions, fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS methods are applied to the problem and results are presented. The similarities and differences of two methods are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the critical success factors for E-learning during COVID-19 using the multi-criteria Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques to enhance the educational process.
Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions were shut down all over the world, which impacted over 60% of students and caused a massive disruption of the education system. The goal of this paper was to identify the critical success factors for E-learning during COVID-19 using the multi-criteria Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques to enhance the educational process. Data were generated by interviewing 69 E-learning managers in educational institutions during COVID-19 based on defined evaluation criteria and E-learning approaches through several channels. We found that technology management, support from management, increased student awareness to use E-learning systems, and demanding a high level of information technology from instructors, students, and universities were the most influential factors for E-learning during COVID-19. Among the five learning systems, blended learning was the most suitable learning system to practice. These results demonstrated that, regardless of how extraordinary the technology is in an educational institution, the readiness of E-learning execution played a large role in boosting the educational process during the COVID-19 pandemic.
