本研究探討台灣中小企業主決策過程及模式,藉由實際傳統產業公司承接光電業設備製造機會,觀察在真實案例中傳統中小企業主如何做出決策安排,以及所屬員工決策及行為如何受到企業主的決策影響。當環境提供機會來臨時,或許企業主能夠及時把握機會創造業績,但企業主對於企業之發展策略若無規劃時,對企業未來發展會造成何種影響。 本研究結論如下:一、變化的環境提供產業機會,中小企業需要具備機會辨識能力及利用機會,發展出長期策略。二、即使策略的發展對於中小企業或企業主是一大難題,中小企業應該藉由每一次機會逐步建立企業核心能力,維持企業長期生存或發展。三、中小企業經營管理直接受到企業主決策影響,也會直接影響到員工的行為或思考模式,當企業主缺乏或忽略策略規劃時,員工也傾向較為投機或短線的操作模式。
