Discuss Inter-Organization Coordination by Transaction Cost Theory–The Case of Taiwan Yacht Hardware Accessories Supplier Industry

Abstract

[[abstract]]全球化的競爭環境，台灣企業正面臨快速變遷的市場改變，而船舶零件產業漸漸走向客製化、樣式多、出貨迅速、出貨數量少、品質優良及價格合理，為了適應潮流，企業不得已一直改變經營模式去反應客戶需求，企業核心競爭力是企業的核心價值，提升核心競爭力才是企業生存的根本之道。台灣早期素稱是遊艇王國，船舶零配件產業是供應造船業的根本，帆船係屬遊艇產業的一部分，而台灣船舶零配件產業在中國大陸、韓國及其他新興國家的經濟崛起下如何在國際競爭中生存？本研究認為須透過供應鏈跨組織合作來進行產業整合，已持續提升競爭優勢。企業間的跨組織合作除了能連接企業的互動和整合，也加強協助企業達成經營擴大市場占有率的管理目標。本研究根據交易成本理論分析帆船零配件產業各科跨組織合作時的資產專屬性、投機行為、環境不確定因素與搜尋成本間的相互關係。 本研究目的為: 一、 跨組織合作中，進行跨組織合作的企業，有何種特性？ 二、 這些特性對跨組織合作的傾向為何？ 三、 供應鏈跨組織合作廠商的特性和傾向可供台灣船舶帆船零件產業有何參考依據? 研究發現，如欲開發產品，而產品的資產專屬性越高時，企業越可能會採取自行營運；且企業跨組織合作時呈現的投機行為皆低；環境不確定越高時，企業越有可能採取自行營運；有些產品需投入大量的人力與財力去取得機械設備、生產流程及培訓人才，成本相對提升許多，在此情況下，廠商會採取供應鏈跨組織合作來減少搜尋的成本。[[abstract]]With the rapid changes of globalized competition，Taiwan industries are facing with strengthen competitiveness from the same competitors.Each company needs to integrate all the resources with great effort and to ensure that the process of producing model or cooperate business model is improved .How to be the winner in the competitors is a good question for each manager.This thesis will discuss about increasing core competence by inter-organization coordination.by〝Core Competence is the core value of the company`s business model〞,we know to increase the company core competence is the only way to survive.Company is not only needs to quickly upgrade and change business model to respond the customer`s demand but also needs to stabilize the model of cooperate companies by inter-organization coordination. For years,Taiwan is the leader of shipyard industry in the world.Yacht-parts or hardware accessories are the basic foundations to supply shipyard industry.No doubt that small boats like dinghy、OP、laser or hobie cat are also the part of shipyard industry.Do the yacht-parts suppliers in Taiwan have any condition to survive in competitors from the world？In this study,the inter-organization coordination can not only strengthen the connection between different manufacturers but also share the resources each other to achieve increasing market share.Base on the thesis by Williamson (1975) of Asset Specificity、Opportunistic Behavior、Uncertainty and Searching Cost.The study will analyze inter-organization coordination and the factors which affect mutual collaboration of inter-organization. The purposes of the study are: 1. Discuss the process of the cross-organizational coordination in different Taiwan yacht-parts suppliers. 2. Propose the factors of affecting inter-organization coordination in Taiwan yacht-parts suppliers,based on the transaction cost theories. 3. What references are given for the managers？ The results reveal that it has the positive relationship between the value of manufacturer and running cost of the company.The more value the manufacturer has,the more core capacity the manufacturer has.[[note]]碩
