碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 100 === There has been an increasing attention on cloud computing recently in the second half of 2008 all over the world due to the financial tsunami that has forced businesses to tighten the investment budget on IT and reduce the cost on IT maintenance. In addition, the software downloading from smart phone and iPhone has put the spotlight on the portable and remote internet service. Since 2012, cloud computing has been in the limelight of the world. To learn the trend of cloud computing market, the study firstly discussed the development, history of cloud computing services and cloud computing technology and further analyzed the new ecological system and value chain from cloud computing. Later, it discussed the potential trend of cloud service and products in cloud computing market and lastly sum up the challenge and opportunities in the face of cloud computing. Many manufactures in Taiwan IT industry do not have the advantage of being competitive in both software and hardware; as a result, they seek any opportunity for cooperation to meet the demands of cloud computing market. Since Taiwanese’s ICA industry is competitive, Taiwan is mature enough for entering cloud computing market. According to the report conducted by Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute of the Institute for Information Industry, the cloud computing market scale is expected to go up quarterly from 2009 to 2013 and the annual growth rate in 2012 is expected to be 27.60%. The cloud computing of Taiwan IT industry should focus on how to collaborate with IT software or service providers, network service operators, terminal device and server venders. It should focus on four directions, innovation service, integration of service, software and hardware, niche product in specific industry and service governance. According to the result of the case studies, the following strategies are initiated for Taiwan’s IT industry: I. The competiveness of industry Industries in Taiwan have competitiveness in low pay, flexibility, cost control and prompt technique support while the competitors possess core technique and professional knowledge. II. Core resource and ability The key resource and its features include the ability to research and develop low cost, high flexibility, quick response and being cooperative and so on. The core competitiveness includes the flexible integration of supply chain, cost control and quick technique support. III. Discussions on the feasible strategies for industries in Taiwan The suitable strategies are focused more on speed, cost and quality which means we should manufacture the products with lost cost, high quality and differentiation in speed.
