dc.description.abstract | As technology advances at a fast pace, consumers have higher demands for information products, which has impacted the vigorous development of the software industry and driven hardware manufacturers to achieve technological breakthroughs. However, due to insufficient research achievements and brain drain, the information service industry in Taiwan mostly relies on foreign hardware and software companies. This has resulted in the emergence of value-added distributors and resellers. Resellers have to stay professional and maintain a good relationship with existing customers, while building trust among their downstream and upstream partners. Intangible products, such as knowledge and services, will be sold in the future. Opportunities of new generation software development are emerging with a huge demand for new generation software, plus the increased demand for information systems which evolve from enterprise packages and internal information systems to comprehensive system integrated information services, etc. At this time, it is beneficial for Taiwanese companies to gain insight into how to take control of their own resources and capabilities, plan and develop adequate information services and business strategies, and actively promote quality products as well as improve service quality to maintain market competitiveness.
