Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and evaluate a computing model for enhancing service quality of consumers and increasing profitability of corporations. We discuss the model prediction of the turning and transition period based on data from two different sources. By applying these real data of some leading manufacturing corporations in Japan we analyze the model accuracy. By using the proposed model, the corporation can increase their profit by enhancing the marketable quality. From the analysis, we conclude that even there are some differences between two sources data, the proposed model give a good approximation and prediction of the turning and transition period of Japanese economy.
