碩士 === 元智大學 === 管理研究所 === 94 === As the world competition has thriving even in undeveloped and developing countries international enterprises are crossing borders to gain their competiveness. The present study aims to explore enterprises’s globalization strategy in this regard. To this end, the Diamond Model system, developed by Michael E. Porter in his well known book -- Competitive Strategy in 1990, is adopted to explore important factors for semiconductor enterprises concerned in their direct investments overseas. The results are as follows in the four dimensions of the Diamond Model. 1. Demand Market demand is an obvious factor for semiconductor makers’ FDI decisions. Either the consumer market or down-stream manufacturer market are the key reasons for semiconductor industry to invest overseas. The semiconductor makers gain advantages when supply-chain is complete. 2. Production Ability of product technique is the major factor to meet customer’s satisfaction. Besides, indirect labor cost attributes the gaps of overall cost; the less of the indirect labors, the greater of competitiveness firms may gain. 3. Enterprise Strategies and Competitions Alliances and collaborations with up-stream and down-stream firms are helpful to please customers. The formation of cluster is beneficiary for this purpose. 4. Relevant Industry and Support Industry Tax reduction is effective for the advance of industry competitiveness. In addition, human power clustering is also favorable for industry competitiveness.
