新創公司在持續成長的過程中，為了尋求外部資源往往需要放棄對公司的控制力，創辦人必須在資源與權力之間做出權衡取捨。本研究以資源依賴理論為基礎，結合Casciaro和Piskorski (2005) 之框架，衡量權力不平衡之現象，旨在探討新創公司成長之不同路徑在不同階段對於權力的動態調整。本研究於2010年至2024年間，針對38家台灣成立的硬體產業新創公司，合計724筆工商變更登記資料進行追蹤分析，歸納整理出7個不同成長情形的分群，發現新創公司成長的不同階段，創辦人會根據不同資源稟賦動態調整其權力結構。本研究透過個案彙整，了解創辦人對新創公司控制情形與在成長過程中的策略選擇，擴展資源依賴理論的應用，並提供實務的貢獻與參考。;In the continuous growth process of startups, seeking external resources often requires founders to relinquish control over the company. Founders must balance between resources and power. This study is based on the resource dependence theory and integrates the framework of Casciaro and Piskorski (2005) to measure the phenomenon of power imbalance. It aims to explore the dynamic adjustment of power in different growth paths of startups at various stages. The study conducts a longitudinal analysis of 724 business change registrations from 38 hardware industry startups founded in Taiwan between 2010 and 2024. By summarizing and organizing the data, seven different growth scenarios are identified. The study finds that at different stages of growth, founders dynamically adjust their power structures according to different resource endowments. Through case consolidation, this research provides insights into the founders′ control over startups and their strategic choices during the growth process, expanding the application of resource dependence theory, and offering practical contributions and references.
