The capital investment of the semiconductor accounts for 17~24% of the gross product which it created. Every advanced country regards the equipment industry as a necessity for the development of the semiconductor industry. Governments support this industry with their policy, which guides the development of the semiconductor market and the key technique in order to acquire the competitive advantage as well as the leading position of this industry.
This target of the research is the global top 15 semiconductor equipment suppliers, gathering the financial information of each supplier from 2002 to 2006. The evaluation index is based on the following factors: size, growth, profit, efficiency and risk. The grey relation model of multiple objective decision-making is harnessed to do the analysis and prioritize with a view to comparing the competitiveness among the suppliers.
The objective Grey Relation Model analysis reveals the niche of semiconductor industry is transnational organization, harnessing diversification operating strategies to enlarge revenue, fight for higher market share, and beef up competitiveness. Without a doubt, professional leading brands as well as relentless R&D are nothing but the approach to generating high margins and maintaining competitive edges. In terms of research and development, the U.S. is still dominating the development of key techniques in the field of semiconductor industry and holding the leading position. Given management strategies, American corporations put emphasis on margins, growing revenue and risk control. Instead, Japanese tend to expand its shares through stable and steady management.
