機械製造產業宛若一國命脈,其發展成長也成為活化整體產業的幕後推手,隨著產業環境快速的變化,全球化來襲受匯率波動、國家政策等影響極大,使得以出口為導向的台灣機械產業不得不重視內部與外部資源的整合。在此趨勢下,企業不可能只是一個單獨的企業單位,而是必須與其他供應商、同業廠商、顧客應商形成一個密不可分的價值網體系,產業中的運作又必須強調彼此間緊密的合作的關係,因此價值網內廠商間的互動兼具有競爭與合作的雙元特性。競合關係可能會因為面對不同的對象或是其他內外在因素而產生了不同的變化,因此引發本研究想要探討台灣機械業廠商與供應商、同業廠商、顧客間的競合關係。 本研究採用Brandenburger and Nalebuff (1996)所提出的價值網架構分類:供應商(Supplier)、競爭者(Competitor)、互補者(Complementor)、顧客(Customer),以台灣機械產業為研究個案,分析他們所採取的各種競爭行動,以及對於競爭活動的回應行動。並歸納出廠商對於供應商、競爭者、互補者以及顧客的態度與做法,供其他工具機廠商之參考。
Machinery manufacturing industry, just like the lifeblood of a country, its development has become the driving force of a whole industry. With the rapidly changing industry environment, globalization affected greatly by exchange rate fluctuations and the national policy. So that Taiwan's export-oriented machinery industry had to pay attention to the integration of internal and external resources. Companies can not just a single business unit, also cooperation with suppliers, competitors, complementers and customer. Operation of industries have to keep close relationship with each other, so the interactions in the value net has dual characteristics of competition and cooperation. Co-opetition actions may be different due to targets, or other external factors. Therefore, this research wants to explore the relationships between suppliers, competitors, complementers and customer in machinery industry. In this research, the machinery industry as a case study, try to analysis the competitive actions they take, and response actions for competitive activities. And concludes the attitudes and practices of machinery manufacturers. Following the value net identified by Brandenburger & Nalebuff (1996) as supplier、competitor、 complementor and customer to give reference to the machinery manufacturers.
