Yeonggil Kim(김영길),Ning ye(닝엽),Soowook Kim(김수욱) 한국SCM학회 2015 한국SCM학회지 Vol.15 No.2

Wholesale business plays a crucial role in the circulation system of commodities in China, but innumerable wholesalers and merchants are facing financial constraints and therefore are not able to produce or order optimally. It is difficult for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to get financial support from banks with their own credit. Supply chain finance (SCF) approach offers a good solution for this problem. Existing models of SCF are introduced in this paper. Based on the characteristics of wholesale business, a new supply chain finance model is introduced to help wholesalers gain access to bank loans. By introducing wholesale market as a third party, the new model is an innovative application of supply chain finance on wholesale business.

Our first purpose of this research is to verify whether there is a positive relationship between improving environmental practice and corporate performance or not. In the second stage of our study, we tried to confirm whether implementing collaboration strategy and information sharing strategy of Supply Chain Management practices have positive moderate effect on the relationship respectively. To verify those research questions, we conducted empirical surveys on 187 companies in Shanghai in China. As the results of those surveys, we could verify that improving companies’ environmental management practice affects positively on corporate performance. Moreover, as the further results of moderate regression model analysis, implementing collaboration strategy of SCM has positive moderate effect on the relationship between environmental management practice and corporate performance, while implementing information sharing strategy of SCM does not. These results provide us with a managerial implication that more enhancement in performance can be expected by improving companies’ environmental management practices and implementing collaboration strategy of SCM at the same time.

The first goal of this study is to verify whether a positive relationship between improving Supply Chain level CSR practice and corporate performance exists or not. As the second step of the research, we tried to confirm whether implementing benefit share strategy, and technological and human support strategy among various strategies of Coexistent Cooperation have positive moderate effect on the relationship respectively. To verify those research questions, empirical surveys on 203 companies in big cities of China were conducted. As the results of those surveys, we could confirm that enhancing companies’SC level CSR practice affects positively on corporate performance. And, as the further empirical results of moderate regression model analysis, carrying out benefit share strategy actively has affirmative effect on relationship between SC level CSR practice and corporate performance, while implementing technological and human support strategy actively does not. These empirical results offer us an management implication that more improvement in performance can be anticipated by enhancing companies’SC level CSR practices and implementing benefit share strategy at the same time.

A non-cell-autonomous mechanism for the control of plant architecture and epidermal differentiation involves intercellular trafficking of BREVIPEDICELLUS protein

Rim, Yeonggil,Jung, Jin-Hee,Chu, Hyosub,Cho, Won Kyong,Kim, Seon-Won,Hong, Jong Chan,Jackson, David,Datla, Raju,Kim, Jae-Yean CSIRO Publishing 2009 Functional plant biology Vol.36 No.3

<P> Intercellular trafficking of maize KNOTTED1 and its homologous KNOTTED1-related homeobox (KNOX) proteins has been reported; however, little is known about the functional significance of KNOX trafficking in plant development. In this study, we showed that intercellular movement of BREVIPEDICELLUS (BP or KNAT1), the closest Arabidopsis homologue of KNOTTED1, is tissue-specific and takes place through a selective pathway. When BP was fused to a red fluorescent mCherry construct, it could move from the mesophyll to epidermal cells of leaves, although it could not move out from the cortex/endodermis of roots. Using a trichome rescue-trafficking assay, we also showed that BP fusion could confer gain-of-trafficking function to the cell-autonomous GLABROUS1 (GL1) protein. In the wild type, BP transcripts are expressed in the sub-epidermal cortical cell layers of the inflorescence stem and pedicel. However, bp mutant phenotypes include defects in epidermal cell differentiation suggesting a non-cell-autonomous function. Expression of a GFP:BP fusion under the control of a BP promoter specific to the stem cortex layers resulted in epidermal GFP fluorescence suggesting its movement from subepidermis to epidermis. Here, we provide evidence from complementation analyses using cell autonomous or non-cell-autonomous BP fusions that the intercellular trafficking of BP protein is important for plant architecture and epidermal differentiation. </P>

Purpose: Our first goal of this study was to verify whether the quality management practices of Chinese firms positively affect corporate performance by conducting surveys on a sample consisting of 327 companies. Our second goal was to determine if implementing artiificial intelligence(AI) and Smart Factory technologies, the two important technologies in Industry 4.0, had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between quality management practices and corporate performance. Composition/Logic: After checking the statistical validity and reliability of variables used in the first and the second research models to achieve the two goals, we used a simple regression model to verify the relationship between quality management practices and corporate performance. Additionally, we implemented moderate or hierarchical regression models to verify the moderate effect of implementing AI and Smart Factory technologies respectively. Findings: In the first stage of this study, we found the quality management practices positively affected corporate performances. Second, implementing AI technology had a positive moderating effect on the relationship between quality management practices and corporate performance, while Smart Factory technology did not. Originality/Value: This research provides a new direction for studies on quality management practices and Industry 4.0 technologies not prevalent in existing studies by linking the two. We suggest that firms wanting to improve performance need to invest in and to make effort in quality management practices and to implement Smart Factory technology simultaneously.
