Quality management is considered as a key factor in providing manufacturers with a competitive advantage. However, it is considered that research on quality management up to now has not fully grasped the flexible quality management of companies as seen in China by only emphasizing the normative quality management methods. In particular, the mechanism of what factors influence the quality management of a company, and how they produce different quality management for each company is not always clarified. In this paper, we proceed a case study based on the results of an interview survey from 18 Chinese companies, and try to present a more detailed analysis framework that can be used to understand the actual state of quality management of Chinese companies. Results show that firstly, the perception of quality by business managers of Chinese companies affects the way of companies' quality management (timing and implementation method). Second, corporate strategy, top management commitment, customer relationships, and quality regulation influence the perception of quality by business managers of Chinese companies. We conclude that Chinese companies do not have the only best quality management method. If the perception of quality by business managers of Chinese companies fits the quality management method, it is the optimal quality management method for the company.

In Japan, the Diagnosis Procedure Combination / Per-Diem Payment System (DPC / PDPS) has been introduced into most hospitals providing hyperacute and acute care. Given that background, the study described herein specifically examined the amount of change in hospitalization revenues related to the effects of official price revision, which are fundamentally undertaken once every two years. Conventional approaches used for earlier studies of medical practice revenues used patient-level data because personal attributes of patients and treatments administered to patients are distinguished. By contrast, this study adopts hospital-level data directed by DPC and estimates effects of official price revision more simply. For development of a theoretical model, two-step least squares (2SLS) was applied with two years as one period, referring to the method of factor analysis of medical expense variation. In first-stage analysis, to add effects of official price revision, “the estimator of mean of hospitalization revenue during the earlier period of the official price revision” was calculated and added as a proxy variable to an explanatory variable in the second-stage theoretical model. To analyze the DPC participating hospitals and DPC preparatory hospitals, Ministry of International Affiliates and Communications data for local government hospitals during 2010–2017 and Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare data were matched for verification. The following results were obtained. First was that an appropriate coefficient was estimated for the rate of change in “hospitalization revenue” for the effect of official price revision. During 2012–2017, the revision had almost curbed medical expenses to “0” in local government hospitals. Secondly, results obtained using hospital unit data show that the rate of change in “hospitalization revenue” in the official price revision years increased slightly in a more positive direction than in the subsequent year. One can infer that this result is attributable to local government hospital management efforts.

This article aims to reveal how the local alliance partner as knowledge accepter acquired and revised knowledge to achieve the strategic alliance success from knowledge transfer and knowledge adaptation perspectives. Besides, previous research about strategic alliance remained a question about revealing the qualitative method's alliance capabilities mechanism. This article proves that the knowledge transformation mechanism, which includes knowledge transfer and knowledge adaptation, as the mechanism of alliance capabilities to foster the strategic alliance. This article conducts the case study of FamilyMart in Taiwan. In the beginning, this article explains how the local alliance partner learned from FamilyMart in the process of knowledge transfer in 1988. Moreover, this article analyzes how the local alliance partner modified knowledge through observing the knowledge adaptation process. In 1994 FamilyMart achieved profitability by modifying information systems, production development, logistics management, and convenience store management. In conclusion, this article provides two findings. First, alliance learning has improved individual ability, and it has a positive effect on the knowledge transfer process. Second, local alliance partners' managers and employees modified knowledge to match the local institution, business environment, and market in the knowledge adaptation process.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify a mechanism whereby products with value dimension differing from those of existing products are continually developed, through case study of new product developments by firm that has, repeatedly, developed products that deviate from the industry's dominant product specifications. In previous researches, although value dimension conversion processes, conversion endpoints, and its organizational management have been investigated, research targets were limited to a single round of value dimension conversion. Therefore, this paper attempts to examine a multiple value dimension conversion mechanism using the case study of three products -EX-S1, EX-F1 and EX-TR100- developed by Casio Computer Co., Ltd. in the digital camera industry. The results shows that a firm-specific product view plays an important role in product development that leads to value dimension conversion. When the firm faces the competitive disadvantage in the existing value dimension, the discrepancy between the existing product development and the firm-specific product view becomes apparent. This causes the product development based on the existing value dimension to reconsider and leads the product development based on new value dimension. In addition, the firm-specific product view provides product developers with criteria of product development when they attempt to create new value dimensions, and they refer to the firm-specific product view to determines the priority among the product components. In addition, this research indicates that product development organization that enables continual value dimension conversion keeps flexibility of human resources low and continuous commitment of leaders and members to the product development last for a long time. This organizational management makes it possible to share the firm-specific product view throughout product development organization, and two product development projects, value dimension improvement products and value dimension conversion products, can coexist within one product development organization.
