碩士 === 崑山科技大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 98 === This study aims at the entrepreneur who adapts boundary integration strategy for meeting the challenge of ever rapidly changing environment. Boundary Integration strategy may be able to successfully help the enterprises on its adjustments of operating courses under the ever changing dynamic environment.　　This study will review the degree and sequence of importance of the critical factors under consideration in boundary integration decision making process. This study will also review the literatures and documentations made by the experts in the past as well as the related measurement factors and discoveries found from the past by those professionals. The basic evaluation criteria and consideration factors with proper sequence is then formed in this study. The theoretical base of this boundary strategy study is based on supply chain management; transaction cost, value chain, social cost and natural resources base are the four basic hierarchy structural measurement factors. Furthermore, this study will analyses the opinions gathered from scholars, experts and executives whom we have interviewed and consulted. This study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis method to simplify the complicated problem and evaluate systems into a precise factor level scheme. A pair-wise comparison matrix has been built up after it was quantified to find out the eigenvector of matrices and to line up the prior sequence among different factors. Under the conditions by the impact of rapid economic development; a gradual opening up market, the swift changes in domestic and foreign market environments, the Taiwanese traditional industries are losing its competitive advantages little by little. This phenomenon occurs since labor conditions and operational costs are rising; increase competitions from continuous entering of new products into the market, and gradual indistinctness of the lines between different industries, which are beginning to compete across traditional borders. Under this circumstance, a traditional industry has realized that applying boundary integration strategy may ensure its continued survival and growth. It is hoped that this study is able to assist industries and entrepreneurs on its effort of coordinating with all critical factors for their successful operation across boundary integrations whether it is vertical or up-down stream match.　The essence of consideration is to be consistent under the structure of the industrial core ideology so that to achieve goals, strategies, cultural intelligences and related management actions.
