Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 織品服裝學系 === 97 === Oversea manufacture is a critical factor for Taiwan clothing manufacture to resolve pressures of competition and maintain competitive advantage. No matter what backgrounds the enterprises are from, all desire to seek for the best investment location to enhance their competitive advantage. The most urgent matter for the clothing manufacture is to consolidate resources and to overcome challenges arising from the organizations in the rapid changes of time. By doing so, the enterprises can construct a competitive foresight and achieve the goal of globalization. This research focuses on four backgrounds of middle size clothing manufacturing companies. The research is based on case studying of trade and experiences of outsourcing, adopting comparisons of various cases through observation, interview, and questionnaire survey. The research explores how oversea clothing manufacturing organizations deal with challenges in a complex environment, surrounded by different cultures, and how the enterprises establish values and efficient organizations by dealing with challenges. The case study and strategy analysis are supported by the discussions of missions of organizations, decision-making power, local culture and society, turn-over rate, and marketing strategies. Through the comparisons of multi-cases in various backgrounds of Taiwan clothing merchants, the research finds that the types of challenges that the enterprises face and the degree of the impact that the enterprises receive are no different. The critical factor to overcome challenges is consensus, including between high level management and dispatching mangers, between the head office and the local organizations, between dispatching managers and local employees. The consensus deeply impacts the management of organizations. There is a positive affection between consensus and management. The research further finds that in respect of missions of organizations and decision-making power, the priority for the organization is to complete missions. The authorization cannot focus on the dispatching managers; the enterprises must also authorize local secondary management. In terms of accommodation of local culture and social society, the enterprises must respect the local culture and their systems. To avoid industrial actions, high turn-over rate, and outsourcing faults, it relies on transparent operations. To maintain relationship with the local government so to execute marketing strategies soundly, the enterprises must comply with local regulations. Overall, more specific authorization and fair distributions of profits are, more growing organization could be. The research and the conclusions offer a reference for Taiwan enterprise when they face challenges in the developing oversea manufacturing organizations. The research also intends to provide a new direction and a guild for the study of organization challenges of oversea clothing manufacture.
