Locating in the center of Asia Pacific, Taiwan has the minimum average shipping time with its five major ports in Asia, as well as the minimum average air travel time to seven major cities in the West Pacific Rim. With Taiwan’s renowned high-tech industry and R&D capability combining a smooth Custom System, Taiwan has all the qualifications to be the trading platform of the Asia Pacific. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the initiatives that influence a private sector company’s decision in re-allocation to the trading platform. The research methodology includes interviews with economic/finance professionals and surveys of various private sector companies. The result of this research could serve as a reference to the Taiwanese Government for strategies in economic development.
Both AHP and ANP methods are used for comparison analysis. The final result shows that companies view “Government Policy” as the most important attribute to their decisions in re-allocation to the trading platform. Moreover, companies view “Tax Benefit Policy”, “Federal Industry Policy”, “Local Government Support”, “Resource Supply”, “R&D Cost”, and “Transportation Cost” as the most important factors. No significant difference was shown in both AHP and ANP analysis. However, the companies views “Local Government Support” as a more important factor in AHP analysis whereas ANP analysis shows that “Federal Industry Policy” is a more important factor in attracting companies in re-allocation.
