| Summary: | 碩士 === 元培科技大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 97 === The mainstreams of strategic management propose that intra-industry performance differences can attribute to the competitive advantage of the firms. By applying Bayesian epistemology, Tang and Liou (2010) proposed that particular resource configurations (RC), which is structured based on 10 financial ratios derived from the du Pont equation mediate between the competitive advantage and the financial performance. The RC model provides a practical measurement for competitive advantage. This research aims to apply the RC model to examine: (1) the competitive heterogeneity within industry; (2) if the sources of competitive advantage change in different stages of industrial development. The electronic industry in Taiwan will be used as an example. Factor analysis will be used to generate the dimensions of the resource and capability bundles of the firms. The factor scores derived from the factor analysis will then be used as data input for the subsequent Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) analysis. The positioning of the firms in two time spans of 1986-1995 and 1996-2006 will be used to examine the differences between the advantage and the disadvantage firms. Calibration of the industry shows that assets management capabilities are crucial in embryo stage while configuration on customer relationship, lean production and tax beneficiary are vital in diversification stage.
