The empirical study is based on case studies of 20 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with international activities from China, India, New Zealand, and Singapore. All chosen firms were founded after 1980 in order to capture retrospectively the whole globalization process of each firm. All sample firms operate their supply chains (SCs) on the basis of information and communications technology (ICT). Depending on size, strategy, business model, industry, and mindset of the managers, firms use ICT on a range from integrating individual functional areas to integrating the whole SC through enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.展开更多

We present this disease. Case presentation: The patient was a 67-year-old woman with lung metastasis appearing 3 years after breast cancer surgery. Complete remission was achieved for the metastatic lesion with chemotherapy, but multiple cerebellar metastases were found 3 months after the completion of chemotherapy. Whole-brain irradiation was administered, resulting in symptomatic improvement. Approximately 6 months later, the patient experienced weakness in the lower extremities and difficulty walking. Magnetic resonance imaging detected a well-defined intraspinal tumor measuring 13 × 13 × 30 mm at the level of Th12-L1. After 20-Gy irradiation to the tumor, oral steroid administration, and rehabilitation, the patient regained the ability to walk. Eight months have passed, to date, since these interventions and the patient is currently receiving treatment for metastases to bones, including the spine, but is still capable of walking without difficulty. We herein report this case with a review of the relevant literature. Conclusion: ISCM in the breast cancer is relatively rare. But, it is the clinical condition which it should always place in the mind.展开更多
