無論我國航運公司所屬船舶有無「權宜船籍」的問題，於船舶航經英國法權或間接繼受英國法學之區域（如美國、澳洲、紐西蘭、新加坡、香港與加拿大等），皆有受該海事法系統管轄之可能。海上犯罪之行為地管轄固勿論，即使英國非行為地，英國海事法向來均允許對航經英國法權之船舶、運費或貨載等財產（res；property）進行扣押（arrest）以取得對財產之管轄權，俾迫使財產之利害關係人提供擔保或出庭應訊，故即使位居東南亞的我國航運公司亦有了解英國海事法程序特殊性之必要，此不僅可事先規避可能遭受司法扣押的風險，於受扣押之後，亦可即使採取適當行為減少損害進而保護應有權利。因此，對我國航運公司而言，對英國海事程序，特別是對物訴訟（action in rem）的研究不啻為一種法律上的「風險管理」（Risk Management）。 本文第二章介紹以複雜著稱的英國法院系統，並將重心置於海事法院之地位與其管轄權之發展，並分類逐條論述海事法院之對物訴訟管轄權（即何種性質之請求權得提海事對物訴訟）。第三章為本文重心，介紹英國對物訴訟理論之發展，並對其理論形成之歷史景、本質理論（程序說（procedural theory）或人格化說（personification theory）等）、與國際公約及普通法間如何取得平衡？財產所有權人或利害關係人出庭應訴與否之責任差異何在等，並於最後對容易致生混淆的相關概念一併釐清。第四章論述現行對物訴訟「程序」問題，從對物訴訟令狀（writ in rem）之聲請、簽發與送達、扣押裁定之聲請與船舶扣押之執行、各種特別聲請（caveat）、財產利害關係人之承認送達（acknowledgment of service）、保釋金（bail）或擔保等之提出、財產之放行（release）、船舶之鑑價與變價、對物訴訟缺席判決（default judgment）、聲請法院付出（payment out）與準備程序行為（preliminary acts）等。第五章討論瑪瑞發禁制令（Mareva Injunction）之最新發展，其可補充對物訴訟船舶扣押效力不足之部分，且其現於海事及商事訴訟上頗為盛行，其可避免被告惡意所為之脫產行為，可禁制大於一艘以上之被告船舶，有特予介紹論述的必要。 於民事訴訟法中增訂一編海事程序之草案，以為本文結論。

科技的採用問題，一直是資訊管理領域一個重要的議題。而以往研究，為了解為何科技會無法被採用，在研究上會分析科技導入至採用初期所面臨到的障礙與挑戰，以協助組織排除科技採用的困難。然而，對於科技的採用而言，採用困難的發生，並不只局限於科技的「前採用階段」而已，在科技被採用以後，同樣也會面臨到科技因為不適用所帶來的採用問題。為此，本論文之研究目的，即在於理解科技在「後採用階段」，發生科技採用困難的本質與原因。 在本論文中，作者主要從實務契合度的觀點，來理解供應鏈系統的採用困難。實務契合度的觀點認為，科技具有內嵌「實務」的特性，每一種科技，根據它的目的，都會被植入一些實務，來協助採用者進行組織活動。因此，所謂的科技採用就是將科技所內嵌的實務，轉移到採用者身上。然而，由於採用者處於他們所屬社會/組織系統中，可能也有他們自己一套的實務活動方式，所以科技內嵌實務與採用者實務之間的不契合，就會發生在科技採用的過程中。在本研究中，根據這樣的看法，作者以詮釋性質化研究的方式，分析了一家筆記型電腦公司的供應鏈系統採用問題。從中發現，根據組織結構、產品材料技術與產業網路的條件原因所影響，供應商會和該公司形成出不同類型的採購實務，而供應鏈系統所提供出的「實務」，因為和這些供應商與該公司的採購實務之間，有著全然不同的特性與假設，故導致了系統採用上的困難。本論文相信，這樣的研究成果，將會加深對科技採用問題的理解，並對供應鏈系統的管理，有實務的貢獻。 / Technology adoption has always been a central research issue in the information systems discipline. Despite years of investigative effort, most of past studies primarily focus on the pre-adoption stage, but very few studies examine post-adoption behaviors, post IT application, and consequences of adoption. In this dissertation, unlike the typical studies to analyze adoption difficulties during pre-adoption stage, I focus on the post technology adoption stage and aim to understand why technology adoption may become failures in organizations after effective deployment for a period of time. In this dissertation, I consider an adoption of supply chain system from the practices fit perspective. The practices fit lens argues that organizational practices (such as procurement practices) are embedded in the technology (such as supply chain systems), and the technology adoption could be as a transfer of the practices to the recipient’s adopters. However, since adopters lie in their specific social/organizational context over time, they have gradually developed a variety of practices to deal with organizational matters. In this circumstance, after the technology is adopted, the difficulties of adoption may occur because of the incompatibility between adopters’ practices and technology practices. From this perspective, I apply an interpretive stance in the study to report a case of supply chain system, and to analyze how and why practices misfit may induce the problems of the adoption. The case study reveals that there are different types of procurement practices for an organization to conduct procurement activities with their suppliers. Each type of procurement practices is affected by the organizational structures, product technologies, and industrial network. However, the supply chain system is not to take account of these conditions into the system principles. As a result, the system is considered inapplicable for supporting the procurement activities by adopters. Important implications are provided to enhance the theoretical development of technology adoption. Practical insights are discussed with regard to supply chain management.

摘要 組織乃社會網絡的一員，其必須正視後現代主義者對當今後現代社會的觀察，以及必須面臨的嚴苛挑戰! 本論文旨在探討後現代主義思潮對當代組織的影響與啟示為何?部分當代管理情境(或稱後現代情境)， 例如，追求一切可能性、對簡單之渴望、感性的思維、 不確定性、 快速變遷、不連續性、模糊、 無界限、解構、 去中間化、 片斷化、 以族群取代社會階級、 多元化、尊重差異、超現實、以及反宰制性規則等等，對當代組織(或稱後現代組織)現在或未來在策略擬定時的影響與啟示為何? 面對後現代情境及其挑戰 ， 後現代組織現在或未來對策略之再思考為何? 後現代組織未來可能適用之新的組織模式為何? 以及後現代組織對策略之再思考的實務作為為何? 本研究主要以文獻探討與次級資料檢索之檔案研究法為主，資料檢索的對象(含個案資料之來源)是以探討較高層次的概念性策略新思維為主。至於屬於研究輔助性質之個案部分，則以屬於營利性質之全球知名多國籍企業、由製造導向轉型為服務導向者、或者可印證本研究所探討之策略新思維者為主。 經由本探索研究後發現，面對後現代主義思維的衝擊，以及後現代管理情境的挑戰，組織應該重新檢視其前提假設、回歸策略本質、勾勒遠大的構想、開創新的價值曲線以避開面對面競爭、重新尋找組織在數位世界的價值定位與經營模式、專注核心、建立社群、培養廣義「顧客」----利害關係人之新的忠誠度、善用所有利害關係人的關係與優勢、 注重組織內外部的整合以及策略要素之間的整合與一致性、擺脫語言牢籠(規則)的束縛而賦予員工彈性、持續尋找任何強調彈性結構、網絡關係、溝通效率、以及民主化機制的組織模式或概念。 最後，對於全球的多國籍企業，本研究建議其必須在全球的產業分工體系之下，勾勒遠大的構想、開創新的價值曲線、發展世界級的核心能力、建立或主導某些內外部社群或電子企業社群、採行time pacing策略以穩健成長、強化跨產業或跨國之組織與策略整合的作為、時時檢視與修改任何宰制性的政策或規則、以及繼續尋找與試行任何可能且可行的組織模式或概念。 / Abstract Organizations that are parts of social network must take into account those issues discovered and criticized by Postmodernist and those severe challenges facing organizations. This dissertation tries to explore those impact and implications aroused by postmodernist for contemporary organizations, those contemporary scenario (postmodern scenario) facing organizations, such as in search of possibilities, in need of simplicity, sensuous thinking, indeterminacy, a rapidly changing environment, discontinuity, ambiguity, boundarylessness, borderless, deconstruction, disintermediation, fragmentation, social class replaced by tribes, diversity, apprizing difference or otherness, hyperreality, and against governing rules, that will affect the strategic planning of organizations at present or in the coming future. In addition, this dissertation also tries to explore that currently or in the coming future how organizations rethink their strategies while facing postmodern scenario and its rigorous challenges, what forms, models or concepts of organization design that organizations can apply, and those managerial practices that organizations have ever executed. The research methodology adopted by this dissertation is primarily literature review and secondary data exploration. The target data including cases are focused on those conceptual strategic thinking. Those cases that are mainly complement to this dissertation are those distinguished multinational corporations (MNC) that have ever been transformed from manufacturing-oriented to service-oriented, or are able to prove partial strategic thinking reviewed in the dissertation. In the face of those thinking impact stirred by postmodernist and challenges resulted from postmodern managerial scenario, this dissertation concludes that organizations should review and rethink their assumption for the world, revisit the essence of strategy, picture and propose the big ideas, create or explore new value curves to avoid cruel face-to-face competition, explore new value positions and business models in the digital world, focus and develop core businesses and competence, build and manage communities, cultivate new types of royalty for those stakeholders partnering with organizations, utilize the relationships with and advantages from stakeholders, emphasize and advocate internal and external organizational integration and consistence and alignment for strategies, free from the cage of language and empower employees, keep exploring those organizational models or concepts that advocate or propose flexibility, networks of people, efficiency of communication, and spirit of democracy. In conclusion, this dissertation suggests that under global industrial value chains, multinational corporations should picture and propose the big ideas, create and explore new value curves, develop best-in-world core competence, form or dominate some internal or external communities or e-business communities, adopt strategy of time pacing for sound and moderate growth, reinforce cross-industry or cross-nation integration for organizations and strategies, keep reviewing and modifying any governing policy or rules, and keep searching and experimenting any latest possible and feasible models or concepts of organization.
