| dc.description.abstract | Since 2000, with the advent of the Internet boom, the proliferation of e-commerce transactions, and the demand for enterprise digitization, coupled with the recent acceleration in user demand for information due to data technology advancements— from text to images to videos—the tasks that servers can execute have become increasingly complex. Big data and cloud computing have also spawned a number of new sectors, including blogs, online stores, e-commerce, online auctions, online sales, online gaming, website design, and website hosting. Cloud databases and backup repositories are also becoming more and more common. Connector items include all components and accessories used in electronic equipment for signal and power connections, such as cables, sockets, and plugs. They connect circuits, modules, and systems in electronic devices, acting as bridges between all signals. Their quality influences the reliability of current and signal transmission, as well as the overall operation of the electronic product. As a result, the circuit design for connectors must achieve high sensitivity. The term ＂connectors＂ narrowly refers to the parts of connectors utilized in electronic equipment. High standards for effectiveness and quality in a range of IT products have also resulted from this.
The market structure, company behavior, industry performance, and present state of development of Taiwan′s connector industry are all examined in this study using the Structure-Conduct-Performance (S-C-P) framework of economics. Additionally, it examines the development trends and prospects for connectors in the future and suggests appropriate strategies and guidelines.
The research findings indicate that Taiwan′s connector industry is competitive because it has advantages in complete supply chains, high technological thresholds, and production cost capabilities. Due to the concentration of end customers, the industry′s demand has been rising annually. The trend of ＂leading in technology as the market leader＂ is apparent, with the secret to success being customer-centric service. Despite the emergence of the ＂Red Supply Chain＂ in the past decade, the ＂Out of China＂ trend has introduced a new factor that is impacting the market. As a result, operations in the connector industry need to react more strongly to market demand. In terms of industry performance, companies that have a global market structure and technological leadership have a competitive advantage over their rivals when it comes to industry performance.
To increase the competitiveness of multinational corporations in Taiwan, it is worthwhile to investigate how globalized enterprises might create alliances with Asian manufacturing allies, integrate global resources, and offer OEM/ODM services locally. Following examination, this study provides the following recommendations for the connector industry as reference. | en_US |
