SMEs had played a vital role in Taiwan's economic development during the 1960s. However, since the 1980s, SMEs' proficiency in market development has declined. Their performance in terms of sales and export value fell behind that of large enterprises. As trade liberalization between Taiwan and Mainland China improved after the signature of ECFA, tariff and non-tariff barriers reduction, as well as further economic cooperation will become focal issues. Those changes will inevitably influence SMEs' day to day businesses. To advise manufacturing SMEs on how to adapt to changes like these, this study elaborates on exploration of innovation and market development strategies. From our case studies, we find that firstly, local SMEs can achieve high value added production through cluster and co-innovation with vertically linked local industries, which is the so called A-team strategic alliance model; secondly, local SME component producers can achieve high value added production through cluster and co-innovation with large local down-stream enterprises, the so called M-team strategic alliance model; and thirdly, those industry clusters formed above can become an attraction for FDI inflow. |
