To adopt the advantages of Taiwan′s R&D units to consolidate the competitiveness of Taiwan′s customers, meanwhile, to get rid of the competition from peer competition. Customers have made timely R&D transformations in response to market shifts, and the case company also announced the launch of a five-year transformation program as "Bright Future" since 2018 to adapt to new market changes and meet customer needs. “Bright Future” program provides the basis for sustained operational growth, in addition to generate attractive profits and remaining competitive.
This study found that in the study of motivational wise, in order to be closer to the customer and understand the local market demand, and jointly develop technology with the customers.
