本文主要以PC產業台商在北台區域、大東莞以及大蘇州的發展爲經驗案例,對於闡釋經濟國全球化之重要論述-「全球商品鏈」理論提出若干修正看法,來探究產業組織與全球化下的區域發展之间的互相關係與相關應用。首先我們認爲探討特定產業聚集的發展時,應該關注於其作為全球生產網絡當中的一個節點,與其他節點之间的空間網絡關係,其次我們提出以「異質化治理的商品鏈」以及「領域化反身性的商品鏈」之跨界拓展/整合來修正「全球商品鏈」的概念,最後我們指出全球生產網絡的運作有賴於領域化之生產體系的支持,而商品鏈當中的結構性分工在廠商積極整合各領域性生產體系之資源的過程當中,有可能由於廠商所有權優勢的增加而被轉變,進而影響全球化下的區域發展。
This article aims to explore the implication and limitation of ”Global Commodity Chains' theory to regional development by investigating Taiwanese IT companies' trans-border investment in Northern Taiwan, Greater Suzhou Area and Greater Dongguan Area. First of all, we argue that attention should be paid to the external connections with other nodes in global networks in investigating particular industrial cluster. Furthermore, we propose the concepts of ”hybrid governed commodity chains” and ”territorially reflexive commodity chains' to modify the original concept of Global Commodity Chains. Finally, we argue that the operation of global production networks relies on the support of territorialized production systems to a certain degree, and the structural division of labor within the commodity chains might be transformed during the process of strengthening the firms' ownership advantages through integrating the trans-locational assets, and hence influences the regional development.
