近年來隨著全球貿易自由化、科技進步帶來資訊透明化等因素，貿易商之生存空間不斷被壓縮；而此項「去中間化」之趨勢，對於專業貿易商而言，更是面臨到嚴峻的挑戰。專業貿易商乃基於跨國交易中介之地位，為客戶提供與貿易活動相關之服務；本研究即以專業貿易商提供之貿易服務作為研究主題，期能協助台灣專業貿易商進行貿易服務創新，提高於產業鏈中之價值、建立出差異化優勢，於「去中間化」之趨勢下，再度逆勢成長。 本研究依據相關文獻資料及目前貿易實務流程，定義出專業貿易商之貿易服務內容與項目，並以問卷調查方式了解台灣專業貿易商目前貿易服務競爭力與貿易服務提供情形，發現大部分台灣專業貿易商相較於市場上其他業者，其自認之貿易服務競爭力介於稍弱至普通之間，且普遍較擅長實體履行服務。本研究採用學者Hertog和Bilderbeek所提出之服務創新四構面模式，依據問卷調查結果，從新服務概念、新客戶介面、新服務遞送系統、技術選擇等四構面為專業貿易商提出可能採取之貿易服務創新模式，並建議專業貿易商可從附加價值較高之貿易服務，如交易創造服務、建構與掌握完善貿易鏈、提供完整貿易需求解決方案及諮詢服務等方向進行發展及創新。 / In recent years, liberalization of global trades and advancement of technology force trading companies in Taiwan to face a crisis of disintermediation and tough environment to survive. Trading companies function as an intermediation in cross-border transactions to provide their clients services about trading activities. This research focuses on topics involving trade services provided by trading companies, and from that, we expect to help trading companies in Taiwan engage in trade service innovation in order to establish different competitive edges and keep business growing in the crisis of disintermediation. In this research, we define the contents of trade services provided by trading companies according to literatures and international trading practice. We investigate the competitiveness of those trading companies in Taiwan in trade services and actual practice through questionnaire survey. We find that most trading companies in Taiwan think that their competitiveness of trade services are weaker comparably to other competitors or only fall around the average. We adopt the four-dimensional model of service innovation built by Hertog and Bilderbeek and the result of questionnaire survey to advance a model of trade service innovation for Taiwanese trading companies. We further suggest that Taiwanese trading companies can make innovation on the high value-added trade services, such as developing transaction-creating services, building a complete trading chain, or providing a total solution to satisfy their clients on trading activities.

台灣經濟發展對外貿易依存度高，專業貿易商扮演極重要的中介角色，於產銷鏈中媒合供給與需求。然隨著全球貿易自由化、新興市場低成本競爭以及科技進步所帶來之資訊透明化，均對台灣專業貿易商之生存空間造成極大的衝擊與威脅，且台灣專業貿易商一直以來缺乏自有品牌，產品的辨識度也不高，致使其面臨被「去中間化」之危機。 本研究根據過去有關自創品牌關鍵成功因素之文獻整理歸納出六個最重要的項目，分別為：研發設計能力、優異的產品品質、可控制之行銷通路、資金與財務控管、高階主管領導與品牌人才、原有業務（OEM、ODM）與自創品牌之平衡。然過去的研究多半著墨於製造商自創品牌，而較少觸及專業貿易商自創品牌的相關論述，故本研究在分析製造商與專業貿易商的異同之後，將製造商自創品牌關鍵成功因素適用於專業貿易商，並將之所產生的問題做一闡述。 以供應鏈整合理論為基礎，本研究建構專業貿易商自創品牌的經營模型，並基於前述六項自創品牌關鍵成功因素，延伸發展出專業貿易商自創品牌所需具備的條件與關鍵成功因素，分別為：創新研發設計、垂直整合、品質控管、保護競爭知識、市場定位與差異化、可控制之行銷通路、資金與財務控管以及高階管理者帶領品牌行銷人才等八項，並藉由個案訪談之方式，研究分析兩個具代表性的個案，以驗證本研究之論述得以適用於專業貿易商自創品牌之經營模式。 / Trading companies are playing important roles in economic development in Taiwan, especially in matching buyer and seller in supply chains. However, liberalization of trade, advancement of technology, keen competition with emerging countries, and lack of own brand marketing lead trading companies in Taiwan to face the crisis of disintermediation. The research is based on six key success factors of manufacturer’s brand, including research & development ability, product quality, marketing channel, capital and financial management, brand marketing human resources and the balance between OEM/ODM and own brand marketing. We are trying to analyze the differences between manufactures and trading companies, and then apply those key success factors to trading companies. According to the theory of supply chain integration, we develop an own brand business model for trading companies in Taiwan. The six key success factors of own brand are adjusted to eight, which are innovative research & development, vertical integration, quality control, protection of intellectual property right, market positioning and differentiation, marketing channel, capital and financial management and brand marketing human resources. Furthermore, we interview two trading companies which have own brand in order to testify that the own brand business model for trading companies can really take into practice.
