碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 資訊管理系 === 102 === With the rapid development of information networks and mobile technology, "connection economy" has changed the operational relationship among enterprise, customers and the third-party vendors. "Network organization" formed by the relationship changes subvert human work patterns. From the job seeker’s perspective, this study investigates the application of the work platforms using the "new working relationship" between the organizations and people. Location-based Service opened the called car service of American Uber and China "Di Di Da Che". The passengers instantly link with the cab drivers through the mobile phones. Once a user requests UberRUSH, a courier will arrive either on bike or on foot to deliver a package elsewhere. American Kickstart, Taiwan FlyingV enable everyone to sell their plan and raise funds from the masses, and then manufacture a product or execute project plan. Quirky let the public participate in the new product idea or post conception. If the conception got approval by the platform committee, the benefits will be distributed among the initiator, participants and platform. With the help of 99designs, employer post a design request like holding a competition, then pick his favorite from numerous design works. Sweden Crowding allows enterprises to issue a challenge to the public to seek solutions to various problems. Japan "Creek &; River" connects the creative professionals and production companies. Via LinkedIn, users can create a professional network of contacts, join the professional communities, identify talent, and find jobs or business transaction opportunities. In the "connection economy" generations, the platform develops mutually beneficial ecosystem and create new value chain by linking people, companies, a number of groups and resources. Many occupations have new "working style" such as cab drivers, writers, designers, entrepreneurs and so on. There are many aspects of these new changes, this study focus are as follows. When a person graduates, unemployed or want to change job, he needs to think about the following questions: 1. What are the factors and process flow of a career choice? What tools are available to use? 2. How to classify those existing work platforms? What are their business models? How to use them? 3. How will the work platform evolve with PEST trends, enterprise development and the needs of the new generation people? The study results as follows. 1. According to career choice theory, collate and analyze the processes and factors that influence career choice. 2. By entrepreneurs, self-employed, principal, atypical four kinds of practitioners of identity, coupled with “other comprehensive” of five to classify and enumerate the working platforms, then select multiple model cases to illustrate their business models, and summarizes their evolution. 3. With competition and social development, the two-way evolvement between “enterprise networking” and “network enterprising” will form a “networking teams”. The enterprise or organization becomes a dynamic link to a gathering of network nodes. This research expects that the job seekers could efficiently utilize the work platforms and two summarized career choice diagrams- the factors and the process flow. And I suggest that more in-depth follow-up studies can develop work platforms and create "personal values".
