In this research, the case company is by originally shipyard which make small fish boat, with fast development of the deep-sea fishery in Taiwan, the technology and producing can also the fast promotion. After the 21st century along with global sea environmental protection consciousness, the fishery policy adjustment causes 50% sales reduction. The case company inevitably is facing the traditional market reducing, pondered the future will manage direction and goal. This research in faces in the process in view of the document company which the market transforms, how creates the competitive advantage, this will study the conclusion summary as follows to show. 1. Is insufficient to when itself brand well-knowingness to sell in the market, using the seller develops the full quantity production line will causes the production and the technical personnel grow stably. 2. The domestic market is small, the marking strategy is important for the international market; the company should positively carry out and adjust the company resources. 3. Carries out the company to organize to reform, establishes the perfect organization system, expands and service promoting in order to help the company. 4. At present positively develops the full quantity production line and the dealer, long-term establishment brand and stable growth.

Ghost-money burning is an important ritual custom in Taiwanese folk religion. But with the growth in population and residential density, such burning becomes more and more threatening to air quality and public health. To make compromise between folk customs and air quality, the government urged the public to change the custom. To understand how successful the government¡¦s strategies are, this study used 4 social marketing variables and people¡¦s concern for ritual custom to predict people¡¦s attitude toward ghost-money burning. A convenience sample of college students, workers in local court, and people from the general public were invited to answer the questionnaire in this study. A total of 255 participated and gave valid answers. Results found that: 1. The more people believed that ghost-money burning was required by ritual customs, the more positive their attitude would be. That is, they would regard the burning as less harmful, and would be less willing to reduce it. 2. Social marketing strategies that changed cost and convenience had negative effect on attitude. That is, when people believed burning less ghost money was good for them, they would regard the burning as harmful and be more willing to reduce it. The same happened when people believed it was convenient to take alternatives for burning ghost money. 3. The effect of ritual customs on attitude toward ghost-money burning was greater than the effect of social marketing variables. In light of these findings, when urging the policy of Ghost-Money Burning reduction by means of social marketing, the government should both focus on changed cost reduction and convenience enhancement, which will be more effective on changing people¡¦s attitude toward Ghost-Money Burning.

Due to the prosperity of industry and business in these days, the population density is getting higher and higher. At the meantime of high development pursuit, life quality, ecology balance, health, and the environment for the descendants are as well affected. With the rise of environmental protection consciousness, the hope to defend individual rights and protect living surrounding is more highly emphasized. Because of the lack of pertinent access, people go out protesting their rights which has caused disorder and chaos in our society. It has had negative impacts on no matter environmental protection, economic development, governmental authority, and image of ¡§serving.¡¨ It is the most important principle of the environmental protection bureau to base on citizens¡¦ opinions towards environment while handing down a policy. The performance evaluation at present stage, therefore, is actually a chief reference for ongoing policy making and efficiency improving. The presently used method of efficiency evaluation has long been questioned and challenged; for example, the prudence and objectiveness of evaluation, fairness and justice of the contrived evaluating mode, economy of the evaluating process, lack of constructive advises to inefficient evaluated departments, and so on. In that case, the study manages to adopt a more objective method, Data Environment Analysis, and to evaluate and discuss the performance and main causes of efficiency differences aiming at the environmental protection bureaus in every county. With the purpose of making the outcome more objective, the study makes use of in-depth interview, Pearson Correlation, and input-output combination analysis to determine the evaluating criteria. Other than setting up the standard, the researcher furthermore conducts an empirical study by integrating DEA and regression analysis. Through the utilization of regression analysis can let on whether exogenous variables have obvious effects on the efficiency score. Lastly, this research managed to calculate the overall efficiency score gained from the DEA application from 1999 to 2001. The aim is also to find out the satisfaction with how the Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan has dealed with grievance statements for the past three years. The purpose is to discover the relationship between the overall efficiency score and the satisfaction degree. Via the study, findings of more relevant issues are expected and also the researcher hopes to provide the decision-making authority reference to make improvements for future measures.

The whole environment - The climate of the earth. Because of the technology innovation causes the problem on ecological environmental protection. The implementation of the agreement of Kyoto, Already alert environmental protection of people on the global village. The organic industry is to safeguard the ecology, environmental protection and industry good for health. This thesis does the discussion to the development overview of the industry, carrying on consumers will do the market survey to the cognition of the organic products, purchase motive and buying the consideration, etc., probe into the organic marketing strategy in the supermarket of food. This thesis is consumed by two group (buyer and unbuyer) is investigated and analysed, in accordance with the demographic parameter, motive of buying, buy the parameter of considering, carry on comparative analysis, and the characteristic that the supermarket thorough fare is bought does analysis, to probe into the organic food on the thorough fare in the supermarket, feasible marketing strategy, this research from the product category to the organic industry, maker, supplyer the production and marketing system arriving and is worthy of selling to investigate , understand the marketing overview of organic industry's supplier , distributor in depth. Two consuming groups investigated by this research, the difference had in accordance with the demographic parameter is compared, in the characteristic to the organic consuming groups, the education degree is relatively high, there is more age by 41~50 and 51~60, the sex is mostly women, the professional housewife is in the majority, secondly government employees and teachers, income medium-sized income, buy the motive and rely mainly on the fact that there is no agriculture chemical, pollution-free and will not be endangered oneself and family's body, two colony that buy all with authentication most important government, to of fine qualities to afford to buy. As to the thing that production ground, the seller's trust will facilitate the trade, not the buyer will relatively consider whether the cost-effective and price are rational. The system of producing and selling of the organic industry, different from the general industry, the persons who engage in at present rely mainly on popularizing the idea more, For example ecological environmental protection to make the clever equilibrium of people's body and mind, healthy, also some are that Buddhism group make for good fortune, joining and popularizing in will engineering way, it is an invisible maturity sense to pursue, the persons who engage in at present have a good prospect to the future development of the industry generally because people can contact the organic products , go to experience one's own impression actually, nonpoisonous and light all over, and then promote the quality of life.

Prior to concerns of sustainability, almost all industrial engineering models tried to minimize cost or maximize profit. Sustainability awareness has recently forced the decision makers to also take into consideration such aspects as clean water use, or carbon dioxide emissions. In an effort to incorporate more aspects of sustainability in optimizing production efforts, we present a network model to handle trade-offs among dissimilar sustainability criteria. Since typically there are alternative choices for the various operations, the network allows parallel arcs between the same nodes. We also introduce the concept of generalized cost. Generalized cost is a vector quantity that includes not only a monetary measure, but also measures relevant to sustainability, such as carbon use or embodied energy. The approach leads to a multi-criteria decision making model, whose efficient frontier is obtained by the epsilon constraint method. Numerical work shows that the computational effort to obtain the efficient frontier is reasonable, allowing products of up to about a hundred activities to be solved with the current generation of personal computers.
