碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 管理學研究所 === 92 === This paper, which comprises three phases of studies, attempted to delve into the development of Taiwan’s cultural/creative industry. In phase one, related literature was studied to gain a comprehensive understanding of the history, current status, overall structure, and networking of the cultural/creative industry. In phase two, the method of multiple-case study was adopted through the documentation of in-depth interviews on key persons selected by field professionals. In the third phase, information from interview documents were analyzed, compared, and generalized. Finally, a validation of the purpose of this study was conducted, while main findings and conclusions of this study were presented. Existing literature on cultural/creative industry from academic studies in Taiwan is limited. Most scholars limited the agenda of their researches on case studies. To date, studies on cultural/creative industries have not adopted a comprehensive approach. This paper, then, attempted to explore the possibility of qualifying the study on issues including the role and networking of a government on cultural/creative industries, disputed issues of cultural/creative industries, the nature of industry development, and developmental strategies of corporations. The purpose was to grasp the overall development of handicraft business in Taiwan’s cultural/creative industries. In order to meet the objective of analyzing the said business in a comprehensive approach, this paper contains interviews on related organizations and groups, which belong to four differently-natured categories of government agencies, foreign embassies, academic organizations, private institutions, and corporations. A total of 13 samples were interviewed. The selection of a sample depends on its direct or indirect relations to the said business and its level of representation. The collection of data is based on in-depth interview. The recordings and notes of the interviews were documented into a text of over 90,000 words, which served as the main database for this paper. Based on in-depth analysis on the database, concrete findings and values were derived, into which the author hopes the government, corporations, and academia could continue to pursue further studies and explorations.
