The electronic industry always played an important role for Taiwan’s economy. The competition among these OEM/ODM manufacturers was always the focus of attention and it never stopped. It caused the gross profit margin of OEMs to fall so-called "margin between 3% to 4%" (margin rate 3% to 4%). The cloud industry really bring new opportunities for the electronics industry in Taiwan at this timing, which has brought Taiwan's long-established electronics industry to the blue ocean, therefore, how cloud we find the most suitable development strategy of cloud industry for Taiwan under limited resources? This is really a good topic which worth to study at this moment.
We invite experts and scholars from different fields. We try to use Porter’s diamond model theory by using open questionnaires to foresee the development trends and strategies of Taiwan’s cloud manufacturing industry. Experts and scholars fully understood the use of expert forecasting methods. The topics were discussed and experts provide their opinions and suggestions for present study.
We used two rounds of questionnaires as our interview method. The first questionnaire survey is an open questionnaire; each expert could discuss related topics on his own professional field. After these experts and scholars provided their opinions and points of view in first round questionnaire, we integrate their answers and list their opinions and points of view to develop second questionnaire. Experts and scholars can check the factors if they consider the factors are important. Then we sort out the analysis and conclusions of our entire study.
This study also pointed out that under the continuous promotion of new technologies and newly applied methods; the business derived from these will be an opportunity of growth. It will be hard to achieve without high-performance computing servers to compute those data. It also hard to keep those big data without storage equipment to store data. During the interview, experts and scholars are cautiously optimistic about the future of the cloud industry. The advantage of Taiwan is that we have accumulated forty to fifty years of experience from the era of personal computers. These experiences make our industrial chain form a closed ecological chain, no matter the control of costs and technological innovation are all our advantages in this industry. The cloud industry in Taiwan with advantages of human resources, flexible production, and low cost. We are not only be part of OEM/ODM, but we can be the own brand for different customer base and different products demand. We have the opportunity to move toward to build own brand, and seize the market for different customers. The Cloud industry in Taiwan will be the one of key indicator of Taiwanese future economy.
