  • extraction procedure of competitive advantage factors in a Target Business area for conducting self assessment and re design of quality management system
    Asian Journal on Quality, 2012
    Co-Authors: Masaaki Kaneko, Masahiko Munechika
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a extraction procedure of competitive advantage factors that a company needs to have organizational capabilities, and leads the company to make a sustainable Business success. By using the proposed method, a company can conduct a self‐assessment based on the factors, and re‐design its own quality management system, then realize the competitive advantage in a Target Business area.Design/methodology/approach – By collecting and analyzing the strategy data of six Business areas in company A and conducting the interview to the project team in each Business area for six months, the decision‐making mechanism and its pattern of the competitive advantage factors are examined, then the self‐assessment method of quality management system is proposed.Findings – The decision‐making mechanism for competitive advantage factors is clarified. The customer value that is one of elements in the mechanism is categorized. And the analyzing method for specifying the core custom...

  • SysCon - CyMRisk: An approach for computing mission risk due to cyber attacks
    2014 IEEE International Systems Conference Proceedings, 2014
    Co-Authors: Thomas Llanso, Eric Klatt
    Abstract:

    This paper provides an overview of CyMRisk, an experimental architecture for computing mission risk due to cyber attack. In its current form, the approach employs a simulation of key aspects of a Target Business/mission process as well as attacker behavior to estimate mission impact due to cyber attacks. In addition, CyMRisk estimates worst case attacker level of effort associated with carrying out such attacks.

  • responding to negative online reviews the effects of hotel responses on customer inferences of trust and concern
    Tourism Management, 2016
    Co-Authors: Beverley Sparks, Kevin Kam Fung So, Graham Leslie Bradley
    Abstract:

    Our research examines the perceptions and evaluations of prospective customers toward an online negative review and any accompanying hotel response. The study explores two main issues: whether the presence (versus absence) of an organizational response to negative customer reviews affects the inferences potential consumers draw about the Target Business, and which aspects of responses affect their impressions. We test the effects of four variables associated with a response: source of response, voice of responder, speed of response, and action frame on two outcomes variables (i.e., customer concern and trust inferences). The provision of an online response (versus no response) enhanced inferences that potential consumers draw regarding the Business's trustworthiness and the extent to which it cares about its customers. Using a human voice and a timely response yielded favorable customer inferences. Inferences did not vary with response source or action frame. Implications are drawn for effective management of negative online reviews.

  • PIMRC - Providing Mobile Applications to Project Enterprises: Moving from Generic Service Delivery to Unique Content Access in Temporary Context
    2007 IEEE 18th International Symposium on Personal Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, 2007
    Co-Authors: Alexander Lofgren, Jan Markendahl, Per Andersson
    Abstract:

    In this paper we discuss how communication systems can be designed considering requirements focusing on the end-user services and the Business environment and Business logic. We Target Business users using services supporting work in mobile environments with a temporary project organization. The discussion and analysis will be based on findings from construction projects. These projects are usually temporary, highly mobile and geographically distributed Business organizations with common work processes that require close interaction between multiple users and Business partners. The analysis starts with characterization of user behaviour, user environments and project organizations. Communication and mobility in construction projects are described and possible services and Business roles are proposed. Examples of candidates to take these Business roles are discussed based on capabilities and incentives of these companies.

  • CPR - Video Games as a Training Tool to Prepare the Next Generation of Cyber Warriors
    Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGMIS Conference on Computers and People Research - SIGMIS-CPR '15, 2015
    Co-Authors: Christopher Herr, Dennis Allen
    Abstract:

    There is a global shortage of more than 1 million skilled cybersecurity professionals needed to address current cybersecurity challenges [5]. Criminal organizations, nation-state adversaries, hacktavists, and numerous other threat actors continuously Target Business, government, and even critical infrastructure networks. Estimated losses from cyber crime and cyber espionage amount to hundreds of billions annually [4]. The need to build, maintain, and defend computing resources is greater than ever before. A novel approach to closing the cybersecurity workforce gap is to develop cutting-edge cybersecurity video games that (1) grab the attention of young adults, (2) build a solid foundation of information security knowledge and skills, (3) inform players of potential career paths, and (4) establish a passion that drives them through higher education and professional growth. Although some video games and other games do exist, no viable options are available that Target high-school-age students and young adults that supply both a quality gaming experience and foster the gain of key cybersecurity knowledge and skills. Given the Department of Defense's success with simulations and gaming technology, its sponsorship of a cybersecurity video game could prove extremely valuable in addressing the current and future needs for our next generation cyber warriors.
