碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 土木與防災研究所 === 98 === It has been more than years that Executive-Yuan implements “Industrial Automation & Electronic Business Program” since June 1999. However, due to traditional characteristics in construction industry, it is much more difficult to put it into practice when comparing to other industries and it is a thoughtful topic to find out whether their e-Business processes meet their expectation. This study put attention on present situation about e-Business processes of construction industry, using prequalification questionnaires for construction enterprises which have higher level e-Business procedures. Through statistics analysis, we group enterprises base on their similarity on e-Business processes level, discuss characteristics and differences between them and how e-Business processes influence both operational performance and financial performance. The results show that there are three types between sample enterprises, which are basic type, middle type and advanced type. Basic type enterprises have low e-Readiness, an inner processes electronic system is not implemented or they just use general application system. Middle type enterprises have high e-Readiness, but sell side and buy side are not included in their inner processes electronic system. Advanced type enterprises also have high e-Readiness, they include sell side and buy side in their inner processes electronic system, some of them even integrate both buy side and sell side together. Conclusions from the statistics analysis also show that 1) The notable differences in e-Business processes are caused by enterprise characteristics, including capital, revenue, settlements of professional IT staffs, the will of higher managers and the types of e-Business processes they choose. 2) The differences in e-Business level cause less influence on their operational performance and financial performance. 3) e-Business processes of enterprises have less relativity on financial performance. Finally, base on the quantitative analysis results, we do qualitative analysis separately on those enterprises with different levels of e-Business process, to realize their present status and needs on e-Business processes.
