碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 93 === Wireless communications technology has been growing rapidly in wide area mobile communication, wireless local area network (WLAN) and personal area network (PAN). In addition, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which puts emphasis on low cost, small size, and low battery consumption, has begun to develop recently. America and Japan are pushing for their own RFID standards to be accepted to become international RFID standards. China also proposed its domestic RFID standard in an attempt to secure Chinese RFID market. Low cost IC fabrication is Taiwan’s core competence in the global RFID value chain. This thesis analyzed the current situation and development trend of RFID in America, Japan, China, and Taiwan. Porter’s Diamond Model, the Industry Value Chain Analysis Model, and the Six Forces Analysis Model were used to analyze the competitiveness and opportunities of Taiwan’s RFID industry. Government support is essential for the success of RFID in Taiwan.
