台灣中小企業網路形成因素與績效之研究

Abstract

台灣中小企業特色歸納為經營彈性大，對市場靈活反應快，及能開發少量 多樣化的新產品，但國際保護意識抬頭，產業技術引進之壓力，及規模小 、資金不足等可用資源相對有限。若能結合數家中小企業，或大企業、研 究機構等單位構成網路組織，並長期建立合作的管道，彼此信用與承諾， 透過權力、市場、技術、設備及資金等依存的資源，相互支援，共同從事 新技術與新品牌的研究，將可彌補因中小企業所面臨的不利因素，由劣勢 轉優勢促進企業的競爭能力。 因此，本研究以網路的觀點來分析，並 嘗試以自行車中衛分工體系之角度來採討，以下是數種統計分析方法的結 論： 1.由統計資料顯示，中小企業無論在用人規模、及實際運用的資本 均呈擴大的趨勢。且有一半以上廠商認為企業透過網路組織可以提高網路 運用的程度及達成公司的目標。 2.國內自行車業較偏重外銷市場，己漸 形成國內行銷、銷售及服務網路型組織。並發現成員間有潛在供應與消費 關係。另一方面業者為了因應國內外市場衝擊，注重研發投入而成功的調 整產品策略，並發展高價位產品。 3.發現企業想要追求經濟規模，以資 本額在1,000萬至4,000萬元間，員工人數在300人以上之規模最適，此時 使剩餘或不足效能，才能達到最佳的利用率。 High flexibility in management, sensitivity to market demand, and the ability to develop few but diversified new products are the characteristics of the small-to-medium businesses in Taiwan. However, threatened with international protectionism and the pressure of introducing industry technology, these small-scale businesses have insufficient capital and limited resources. If small-to- medium businesses, large corporate and research institutions can combine into a network, and build long- term cooperation with mutual trust and commitment, they can share capability, market, technology, facilities and capital. They can support each other to conduct researches in new technology and new brands.Thus, small companies can turn disadvantages into advantages and maintain their competitive edge. The thesis attempts to analyze how a network functions by studying the satellite system in the bicycle industry in Taiwan. Here comes the conclusion derived from statistical analysis: 1. The statistical data reveals that the number of staff and the capital available are enlarging. More than half of the companies interviewed believe that businesses can increase the use of network service to achieve the goal of the company. 2. As the bicycle industry is export- oriented, the domestic network in marketing, sale and service gradually evolves. There is a potential relationship of supply and consumption among the members of the network. To meet the global demand, the companies must emphasize research and development and readapt strategies to produce value-added products. 3. If companies want to pursue scale economies, the most suitable capital had better be between NT$10 million and NT$40 million, the number of staff be over 300, so that the rate of use can reach the maximum degree.
