Abstract
The thesis aims to discuss the changing role of Taiwanese electronic manufacturing industry in global competition since 1987. The transformation of Taiwan economy can be summarized as an overall growth of the service industry sector, and an internal restructuring of manufacture industry. The growth within manufacturing industries is not even. Comparing to other manufacturing industries, the electronic manufacturing industry has a higher growth rate, and accounts a higher percentage in terms of production value. If we look closely, the electronic manufacturing industry is restructuring to become more technology and capital -intensive.
The statistics coheres with the above statement. Furthermore, through a historical analysis, we observe that when the electronic manufactures upgraded from OEM to ODM, their technology and management abilities have also grown to be more mature. They act as leading engines which push other related industries to advance.
In order to understand the role of Taiwanese electronic manufacture industry in a global picture, we did a cross-country comparison and analyzed the foreign investment statistics of three major IT countries in southeast Asia (Japan, Korea, China). The result shows that market scale is an important factor in attracting manufactures. Thus there is a potential danger that the Taiwanese manufactures might quicken to move out under the magnetic influence of China.
As for the question of how the restructuring of electronic manufacture industry might influence the spatial restructuring of Taiwan, statistics show that overall speaking the electronic manufacture industries are gradually concentrating in the northern part of Taiwan, from central Taipei City and then sprawl outward. When positioning in a globally competitive market network, the Taiwan electronic manufacture industry require more specialized and professional services for their logistic management. The economic and political context has pushed Taipei metropolitan area’s to grow, and the industries to conglomerate.
Thus by understanding the electronic manufactures’ technology upgrading process with a global economy, the thesis explains how the restructuring of manufacture industry in Taiwan impact on spatial changes, and its meaning in terms of regional development.
