目前台灣半導體中的IC設計產業已成為繼晶圓代工產業之後,最具競爭力的新興產業。IC設計產業為技術密集的產業,而其技術及產品特性致使產業鏈結構亦相當的龐大。因此,本論文致力於研究國內IC設計廠商之經營效率,期能找出經營效率佳的廠商所具有的共同特質,提供IC設計廠商在企業資源投入分配上改進之建議。 本文應用資料包絡分析法評估台灣地區上市上櫃之IC設計產業公司之經營績效。研究方法以注重投入與產出關係,利用數學規劃模式求取決策單位之相對效率,並找出生產效率前緣。藉此,進一步分析,包括整體效率、技術效率、規模效率分析以及差額變數分析、敏感度分析和參考群體等分析方法,進行實證研究。 結果顯示台灣IC設計公司的經營效率中,具有整體效率的公司為聯發科、聯詠、類比科、群聯。具有技術效率的公司為聯發科、聯詠、類比科、聚積、迅杰、群聯。具有規模效率的公司為聯發科、聯詠、類比科、群聯。本文期望藉由台灣IC設計廠商本身的經營效率的改善,並配合台灣高科技產業垂直整合的完整產業結構以及產業群聚效應,讓台灣半導體產業在再創獲利新景。
Second only to the Semiconductor Foundry industry, the IC design houses in Taiwan have become the most growing and competitive. IC design house is a skill-intensive industry, and its product characteristic deeply affects the industry’s chain structure. Therefore, this research is dedicated to find the common traits and specialty associated with IC design firms with excellent production efficiency. An attempt is also made to suggest design houses, on how to utilize the resources of the enterprise to facilitate their overall revenue. Data Envelopment Efficiency (DEA), a statistical analysis method is used in this thesis to estimate the performance of those IC design houses which are listed in Taiwan stock market. The performance of IC design houses is estimated by calculating their operational efficiency. Mathematical programming approach is used to access relative efficiency within a group of Decision Making Units (DMU) and to find all the possible envelopment curves. Using observation data, production efficiency frontier is designed. The data is also used to analyze the various efficiencies, sensitivity and reference resource counts. The results are categorically divided based on three different efficiency indicators. First, the companies that are totally efficient and they are MTK, NOVATEK, AAT and PHISON. The technically efficient companies are MTK, NOVATEK, AAT, Macroblock, ENE and PHISON. The third and the last category is that of companies with high scale efficiency and they are MTK, NOVATEK, AAT, PHISON. The research is basically done with the motive to increase the revenue of Taiwan semiconductor industry through improving IC design house efficiency as well as the management of that to operate in coordination with the agglomeration and clustering effects, as a result, to contribute a great deal in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan.
