In order to assist them in their transformation to avoid being eliminated from the marketplace and to strengthen their competitiveness.The researchers interviewed industry leaders, government officials, scholars and businessmen (5 people in total) to complement the questionnaires’ results. Lastly, a SWOT analysis was performed based on the findings. Subjects of the questionnaire are employees in these sensitive industries and SME industry in Southern Taiwan that have received assistances from the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre. 307 questionnaires were sent by post and 65 of the returned ones were valid. Using SPSS, different types of analysis were performed including Descriptive Statistics Analysis, Validity and Reliability Analysis, Factor Analysis, t-test, Analysis of Variance and Analysis of Correlation. Researchers found that of the 57 statements, except “ECFA is beneficial for business owners but not for workers” and “Results in domestic salary restructuring leading to lower wages,” the remaining 55 were mostly agreed by respondents. “The Government should establish a problem solving mechanism for cross-strait trading,” “The government should promote the Made In Taiwan (MIT） label,” “The government should have an operating mechanism to encourage consumers to purchase local products,” “The government should assist industries in enhancing their R&D capabilities and provide subsidies,” and “ The government should assist businesses in developing their own brands” were highly agreed by most of the respondents. This shows that respondents are anxiously awaiting government’s actions.
In light of the findings, suggestions for industries and the government are as follows:
Industries: devote to R&D and strive on product differentiation; make global deployment to access international markets, cultivate human talents, and optimize human resources.
Government: promote the MIT(Made in Taiwan) label; provide subsidies and financial aids to business; enhance the transparency and clearness of its information system; pay more attention to the severity of insufficient technical talents in the coming years and reevaluate the scope of assistance provided to sensitive industries.
