摘要

隨著第五代行動通訊技術（5th generation mobile networks, 5G）的標準逐漸完成，相關應用和產品也開始走入市場，以往新一代行動通訊系技術的問世都會改變相關企業的版圖，技術更迭的過程中考驗著企業洞悉技術環境、產業變化以及市場的能力。華為自1987年成立，經歷許多代通訊技術的演進，在34年的發展中靠著自主研發、銷售策略以及多元化產品累積其競爭優勢，已從電話交換器代理商成長至全球最大電信設備商以及行動通訊標準的制定者，至今已是5G的技術領導者和強力競爭者。
本研究以技術典範和典範轉移理論作為研究基礎，以定性分析法和個案分析法分析華為內部二手資料以及標準組織資料，以此探討華為從4G演進到5G的過程中，在技術、產品以及業務上的演變，從這些變化分析出華為在通訊技術改變下所發展出的因應策略。
透過研究發現，華為的因應策略是以技術作為核心、用業務領域劃分市場再以技術以及成本優勢提供產品和服務將市場內的產業串連，構成華為的5G生態圈，將自己變成典範的一部分，而不只是典範內的參與者。

As the standardization process for the fifth generation of wireless networks (5G) is soon to be finalized, commercial deployment, including the related application and products, have begun. In the past, when a new generation of wireless networks emerged, the scope of the related businesses would change accordingly. To businesses, the change in technology tests the business capability of responding to a new technology environment and adjusting to industrial and market changes. Established in 1987 as a sales agent for phone and cable network businesses, Huawei, has undergone the evolution of mobile standards during the 34 years of its development, it has accumulated its competitive advantages via inhouse research and development, marketing strategies and diversified products, and has thus become the largest telecommunications provider in the world and a global standardsetter of mobile communications. Currently, Huawei is considered a strong competitor for 5G leadership.
Based on the theories of technological paradigms and paradigm shift, this research investigates the changes in products, business and technology that Huawei has made during the transition from 4G to 5G, and aims at analyzing Huawei’s strategies in response to the paradigm shift in telecommunication technologies.
The research finds that technology is the core of Huawei’s coping strategies Huawei breaks a market into segments, and provides products and services based on its cost and technology advantages to establish a 5G ecosystem, making itself a part of the paradigm instead of just a standard participant.
