工具機廠商赴中國大陸投資之生產網絡決策影響因素

本研究分析工具機廠商在赴中國大陸投資生產，產生延伸原有網絡連結、建立新網絡連結、僅投資小規模組裝廠而未建立協力網絡等三種不同的網絡決策，或不赴中國大陸投資，各是受到哪些因素的影響。外包的比例、協力廠商的鑲嵌程度、廠商規模、物流網絡的型態、產品的獨特性等，都是可能的影響因素。較高的外包比例會使工具機廠商對中國大陸的投資行為較積極，而較低的外包比例會使工具機廠商對中國大陸的投資行為較保守。規模較大的廠商在赴中國大陸投資行為上也會較積極，而規模較小的廠商在赴中國大陸投資行為上會較保守。有採用集中統籌物流網絡型態的廠商在對赴中國大陸投資行為上也會較積極，未採用集中統籌物流網絡型態的廠商在對赴中國大陸投資行為上則會較保守。早期成立的工具機廠商和協力廠商之間鑲嵌的程度較高，較容易說服協力廠商一起赴中國大陸投資，晚期成立的工具機廠商和協力廠商之間的鑲嵌程度較低，較不容易出現帶協力廠商一起赴中國大陸投資的情形。生產較具獨特性產品的廠商較容易傾向暫不赴中國大陸投資設廠生產。

This paper studies the affecting factors about three network decisions of investment in China: to extend the original network, to develop a new network, to built an assembling plant without network in China, or no investment in China. The possible affecting factors include the level of subcontract, the level of embeddedness, the scale of the firm, the type of supplier networks, the distinctiveness of the products. The higher level of subcontract would be constructive to the investment in China, and the lower level of subcontract would be conservative. The larger scale of the firm would be constructive to the investment in China, and the smaller scale of the firm would be conservative. Applying the concentrated supplier network (tired form) would be constructive to the investment in China, and applying the star form or ring form would be conservative. The higher level of embeddedness would be constructive to take the suppliers together to do the investment in China and the lower level of embeddedness would be conservative. The distinctiveness of the products would make the firm tend to keep producing only in Taiwan.
