Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the key criteria that affect the competitiveness of Taiwan’s small wind-turbine industry. The study consists of three phases. First, Porter’s Diamond Model was adopted, which offers five dimensions for constructing impact measurement. Secondly, sixteen criteria were selected under these five dimensions in consideration of the small wind-turbine industry in Taiwan. Finally, fifteen professionals from the government, companies, academic and research institutes were interviewed and their opinions were analyzed using DANP (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory based on Analytic Network Process) for finding the importance and priority of dimensions having significant impacts on the industry. Through the study, it was found that, among Porter’s five dimensions, the dimension of ‘firm strategy, structure and rivalry’ is the most important one and the dimension of ‘related and supporting industries’ comes to the second. A few important criteria were also identified and listed in this thesis.
