Systems design thinking for social innovation: a learning perspective
In: Business and Society Review, Band 128, Heft 2, S. 217-250
ISSN: 1467-8594
AbstractWe define social innovation as strategic decision making to improve social conditions and facilitate social changes in a desirable direction by dealing with crucial issues and solving fundamental societal problems. This paper proposes a framework that enables the decision maker to implement social innovation effectively. The framework consists of three influential theories or ways of thinking, that is, design thinking, systems thinking, and learning organization. This paper shows how these three approaches can be integrated to tackle a critical social problem and develop a sustainable solution. We present a case study on an actual social issue to demonstrate its practical application.

Impacts of government and market on firm's efforts to reduce pollution
We examine how the government and the market affect firm's pollution abatement efforts, i.e. firm's efforts to reduce its pollution emission. The way for the government to control firm's pollution is to impose penalty, whereas the consumers (the market) make their purchasing decision by taking into account the pollution, i.e. the demand is affected by the stock of pollution. In effect, we consider two forces, government penalty and consumer's sensitivity to pollution, as primary factors to control firm's pollution and analyze their interaction in relation to the firm's pollution reduction efforts. The analysis suggests as follows. The government penalty and the consumer's awareness are substitutes either (1) when the market size is relatively large or (2) when the market is relatively small, but the government penalty is relatively heavy. On the contrary, the two factors are complements when the market size is relatively small and the government penalty is relatively light. We discuss managerial and economic implications of the analysis results.

Satisfying different customer groups for IS outsourcing: a Korean IS company's experience
In: Asia Pacific journal of marketing and logistics, Band 15, Heft 3, S. 48-69
ISSN: 1758-4248
It is important for an IT service company (IS company) to fully take into account the differences in customer satisfaction across different customer groups. In this article, we consider three layers of customers in the client company. There are project directors who interface with and accept the final product (i.e. IT system) from the IS company, users who actually use the IT system for their daily operations, and finally operators who do maintenance works for the IT system. We propose that each customer group (i.e. project director, user, or operator) evaluates the IT systems success with a different set of criteria. Transaction relationship and partnership turn out to be important determinants for the project directors: task‐related and IS‐related output performances seem to be less influential. The reverse conclusion can be made for users and operators. One additional insight is that IS company's efforts to understand its customer's tasks and share risks with the customer company might have unexpected effects. Although the project directors seem to like such close involvement, it can be detrimental to the users' satisfaction with the IS outsourcing projects.
Modes of foreign market entry by Korean SI firms
In: Asia Pacific journal of marketing and logistics, Band 14, Heft 4, S. 13-35
ISSN: 1758-4248
As an exploratory study, our research aims to investigate what factors would influence choices of foreign market entry mode by system integration (SI) companies. There are two distinct points. First, we specifically focus on a service industry, i.e., SI (System Integration) industry, which has unique features compared with other industries, yet not been studied extensively. Second, we indirectly examine whether forces influencing firms in an advancing country like Korea are different from those in more advanced countries: in this paper we investigate the Korean cases only, since most of the previous studies viewed this issue from the perspective of advanced countries.
