Rationale for utilizing 3PL in supply chain management: A shippers economic perspective Koichiro Tezuka* Abstract In this paper we first propose a conceptual framework for evaluating 3PL (third-party logistics) utilization in SCM (supply chain management), in which it is assumed that shippers may enjoy advantages derived from four contributory sources of 3PL specialization: scale, know-how, searching ability, and IT skills. It is also supposed that shippers may particularly benefit from 3PL when facing uncertain business environments. We also apply principal–agent relationships to shippers and 3PL providers. Further, we see enhancing “agency efficiency” as important to obtaining the benefits of 3PL utilization. We also look at the role of 3PL provider selection, the “hold-up” problem under incomplete contracts, and asset ownership. After that we briefly discuss the utilization of 3PL and environmental concerns. These are the main points that we consider rel

Toward Healthy and Successful Aging: Intelligent Home Care Environments for the Elderly Copyright copy; 2013 by Hsin-Hsien Chiu All Rights Reserved Due to increases in chronic diseases, hospital costs, and aging populations, home care has become a growing worldwide trend in elder care. This research proposes Intelligent Home Care Environment (IHCE) as a solution that can assist the elderly with physical and cognitive functioning, while reducing costs and avoiding the social and cultural problems associated with current solutions. In order to research the interrelationship between the elderly and their physical environments in home care, this study starts with ecological models (Satariano, 2006) of humanenvironment relationships and the disablement model (Verbrugge amp; Jette, 1994) that is used in the epidemiology of aging and gerontology. Then, Acupuncture Theory (Ming-Tung Chen, 2000; Zhang amp; Rose, 2001) is employed as a metaphor/model for formulating a Dynamic Multi-Ag

附录B 外文原文 Food Supply Chain Approaches: Exploring their Role in Rural Development Terry Marsden, Jo Banks and Gillian Bristow The creation, operation and evolution of food supply chains are one key dimension in the new patterns of rural development now emerging (see Marsden 1998). As a result this dimension – the food chain dimension – becomes a significant building block for a new theory of rural development. This paper explores some of the key aspects of the food supply chain approach, making a direct link between theory and practice. To more fully understand the role and potential of food supply chains in the process of rural development we contend that they need to be seen in tandem with greater, empirically rich, conceptualizations which move beyond description of product flows, examining how supply chains are built, shaped and reproduced over time and space. The focus here will be upon using theoretical and conceptual parameters to understand the

Management Style and Fair Payment Tom Husband Professor of Manufacturing Organizations, Loughborough University of Technology In recent years however the setting of rational and fair pay differentials has taken on a particular significance. Our social and managerial attitudes to criteria for reward are changing fast. The whole question of pay relativities is now seen to be central to the establishment of a just industrial society. Within individual firms managers and employees are questioning the traditional approaches to work structuring and wage payment. There is a distinct move from both sides of industry towards a greater degree of employee consultation and participation in the running of the firm. This trend has brought with it fresh approaches to the analysis of work and the determination of equitable wage and salary differentials. All of these techniques are valid when applied under appropriate conditions. The dilemma which has faced managers is to know wh
