本研究乃針對台灣海運承攬業者進入中國,投資發展國際貨運代理企業之經營定位,進行探索性分析,並利用對應分析(correspondence analysis),來從事資料分析工作。研究結果指出現階段應是台灣海運承攬業者積極進入中國投資之時機,且同時,亦需就自身經營優劣勢,謹慎擬定經營發展定位。而根據本研究觀察,現今進入中國經營貨代事業之台灣海運承攬業者,確實有著不同之經營定位,有些業者之「服務範疇」甚廣;有些業者則是以「零擔併裝能力」見長;有些業者則以「整櫃攬貨能力」為其服務重心。又從這些業者之據點發展狀況來看,有些業者以發展操作型據點為主要考量;有些業者則以部署行銷型據點為主要策略。最後,本研究認為台灣海運承攬業者之經營關鍵成功因素為「服務範疇」與「員工規模」,然而,各業者亦應配合其主要核心能力:整櫃貨物運輸或是零擔貨物併裝作業,來進一步決定其經營策略。
