According to the product, which is characterized by the single cycle and two selling periods, we depict the ordering decision for a centralized system with a stochastic dynamic programming model, and prove that the expected profit function of the whole system is concave on the first ordering quantity and the remedial ordering quantity. Then, we develop the optimal ordering policy for the centralized system. Lastly, we analyze the characteristics of the decision method with some examples.","PeriodicalId":389467,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICSSSM '05. 2005 International Conference on Services Systems and Services Management, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123660926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, the biggest challenge facing to firms is \"adaptation\" to any environment. The flexibility of business information systems to create business values has been discussed for a long time as one of critical problems among information technology (IT) communities. One of potential solutions is enterprise architecture, which first started with e-Government However, the effectiveness of enterprise architecture is still highly uncertain and little research evidence establishes the benefits of architecture or helps firms assess their architecture. The purpose of this paper is to clarify problems when firms confront e-business system implementation from an enterprise architecture viewpoint, and to propose an analytical framework in terms of enterprise architecture effectiveness while discussing the relation with Governance, and other relevant factors.","PeriodicalId":389467,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICSSSM '05. 2005 International Conference on Services Systems and Services Management, 2005.","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115514337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this shift lies in how to gain sustained competitive advantage (SCA). The paper provides a brief review of these two perspectives guiding IT for competitive advantage. First, the means and its problems of attaining competitive advantage through strategic information systems are analyzed. Second, a typology of key IS resources is presented from resource-based view of firms. And then we compare and contrast them with one another using six resource attributes of value, rarity, appropriability, instability, substitutability and mobility. Third, we explain the mechanism that IS resources act on firm performance. Finally, the structure of information technology capabilities is briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":389467,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ICSSSM '05. 2005 International Conference on Services Systems and Services Management, 2005.","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114472617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
