Summary:博士 === 國立交通大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 90 === The IC manufacturing in Taiwan has developed becoming a very important role globally until today. In order to maintain the global competitive strength from the current and future situation and meet the challenges, there are two major issues to deal with: in one hand to continue developing advance manufacturing process technology and new products domestically, on the other hand to try relocating matured manufacturing processes to near by potential market. In order to meet the above challenges and propose effective strategy, it is necessary to base on essences of past developing experiences, which contented in the past few decades cases. Hence, these essences are important in helping the business operators and government to define effective strategy in responding to the above-mentioned challenges. The role and effects that technology, market, and capital factors played, are the essences in Taiwan IC industry in the past few decades developing experiences. Questions discussed in this research are systematic and dynamic. Therefore, through integrating the vertical developing stages and the roles and effects these three factors played in the horizontal aspect, this research had found results of respective stage''s developing characters: exploring stage is cultivating all developing requirements and waiting for the opportunity; the base-establishing stage is led by the down-stream industry to direct industry policy; the total-developing stage is to introduce external technology to combine with peripheral market factor to build a solid industrial structure; the spin-off stage is evoked by technology factor leading the market factor to enable the industry value chain developed into a full span of divisions of labors. In order to be competitive in the international market takes these three factors interacted positively, to enhance the industry international position and influences. The key of future developments needs closer cooperation among these three factors. To reason future development from the above three factors, the conclusions are: (1) Foundry is the business operators'' earlier priority to consider foundry operation, since factors influencing foundry to change are not too many; (2) the business operators need to pay special attention to the DRAM development and make proper adjustments, since DRAM''s developing closely related to US, Japan and Korea''s developing strategy; (3) due to lacking support of technology and market factors, IDM would not be niche for Taiwan. Hence, gradual changing operation is a possible developing result; and (4) to integrate strengths of domestic and international technology, market and capital factors are to be ready for globalization to meet future challenges. To have these three factors positively interacted to construct as the core competitive strength will be the strategic thinking strategy for the new developing stage.
