Research Of The Customer Recommended Service Model
No full text[[abstract]]In this research, we use two different theoretical models for customized modular product design to establish the relationship of product evaluation between the status of consumer demands and the features of the product. Furthermore, by using different theories and the database of the product modules that built through the inputs of the experts we build the criteria for recommending the most suitable product by its modulated functions or components. Then, such mechanism is used to provide customer recommendation system for two different companies with their modulated products. The company can use the system to recommend suitable modulated product according to the needs of different customers. The customer can also use the system to search the desired products by inputting the requirement information. The model build by the customized modular product design in this research, product design model I: we use fuzzy information axiom as the evaluation and decision principle of the product design model. Product design model I: the Analytical Hierarchy Process, Fuzzy Set Theory, Back-Propagation neural network, and Gray Relational Analysis are also used for the evaluation and decision principle of the product design model. With the maturity of current network technologies and e-commerce practices, a suitable recommendation service system to guide customer’s needs is needed for marketing. The manufacturers can use this system to extract the information of the needs for their customers as well as the choices of the products the made. Such information should provide valuable inputs for the sales and future improvement of the product to the company
Dynamic Demand Function on Cobweb Model
No full text[[abstract]]Time lag exists between inputs and outputs during the production process. Both producers' supply and consumers' demand at time t may be influenced by actual commodity trade price at time t-1. Many scholars used "Expectations" theory to discuss the dynamic supply function; on the other hand, few scholars are trying to use quantitative model to discuss this dynamic demand issue. First step, this study is trying to discuss market demand function based on the exchange of market trade information. Next by using Cobweb model, the process of reaching equilibrium will be discussed. The results of this study will be compared with the traditional Cobweb model and hopefully be used by policy makers as a tool to evaluate price level when the market reaches equilibrium
Two-stage Production with Unreliable Machine and Finite Working Hour Capacity
No full text[[abstract]]A mathematical model of the two-stage production plan with the considerations of finite obtainable working hour capacity and unreliable machines for each stage is proposed in this paper. It is useful to evaluate a firm's capability of accepting a new order or not. This study suggests that the due-date of the production, maintenance cost of an unreliable machine, and the order quantity should be taken into considerations. Sensitivity analysis for the key variables of optimal solution is also presented. This paper efficiently provides a dynamic updating tool capable of revising the production plan (rate) at any time for the production planner with profound insight
Optimal Linear Taxation under Random Income
No full text[[abstract]]The randomness of tax revenue, in this paper, derives from the assumption that one’s income is the random variable of his effort. Thus, the government, while deciding the tax rate, must consider the possibility of deficiency in tax revenue caused by such randomness and the probability of its occurrence. We construct a linear income taxation model based on the interactions between the government’s tax policies and individual’s responses. The paper aims to explore the effects of individual’s income uncertainty and government’s risk attitude on individual behaviour and government strategy
A dynamic model of the effect of consumer's internal reference prices adjustment on demand function shifting
No full text[[abstract]]Internal reference price is an important factor when a consumer makes a purchasing decision. When the consumer adjust their internal reference prices the demand function of the product will be changed accordingly. This paper intends to discuss: (1) the effect of the dissemination of new price information on consumer’s internal reference price adjustment, purchasing quantity determination, and the shift of demand function, (2) the establishment of a new dynanic demand function mentioned above, (3) the application of the dynamic demand function in pricing strategy
The impact of firm-firm externalities on environmental standard
No full text[[abstract]]A model of two industries (sectors) in one economy, in which a sector’s production suffers from the other sector’s pollution emission, is presented to determine the optimal regulatory emission standard and to contrast the gap between the two versions: in the presence and absence of firm-firmdamage effect. The discrepancy of the emission standard setting is surely existent in the presence of firm-firm externalities compared with in the absenceof those. The results reveal that the planned output of polluting industry ishigher in the presence of firm-firm damage effect than in the absence, butthat of nonpolluting industry depends on demand elasticity and damage function
