Semiconductor manufacturing raw material distributors play a very important role in semiconductor industrial value chain, who bridging the raw material manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturers. Topco Scientific Co., Ltd (TSC) is a leading company of semiconductor raw material distributor in Taiwan and Great China Region. TSC would be the case to be studied on the strategy of its continuous growth. / A successful business model should cover how to enhance “Value Proposition”, how to perform “Value Delivery”, and how to achieve “Value Capturing”. In the study of TSC’s continuous growth, we shall be able to identify the key strategies which were employed in the following three themes: 1. How does the distributor secure their position in the value chain i.e. how to enhance their value proposition? 2. In what way the distributor compete with their competitors and perform better i.e. how to perform their value delivery? 3. How does the distributor make their own benefit feasible i.e. how to achieve their value capturing? / “Three Aspects of Strategy” theory and “Four Coliseums of Business” analysis by Dr. S.H. Wu were applied in this study. The “Three Aspects of Strategy” theory provides the scope of establishing a thorough business strategy, and “Four Coliseums of Business” analysis exploit the business growth in four different points of view. “Three Aspects of Strategy” theory claims the following aspects should be reviewed when establishing the business strategy: 1.Business Domain : product/market, business activities, business geography, business scale 2.Core Resource : physical/non-physical properties, personal/ganizational competence 3.Business Network : network parties, network relationship, network position Also, the adjustment/correlation of these three aspects should be discussed. The “Four Coliseums of Business” analysis exploits the status of company’s strategy in four different points of view: 1.Value-Efficiency coliseum 2.Competence-Organization coliseum 3.Power-Networks coliseum 4.Innovation- Authenticity coliseum / This study applied the “Three Aspects of Strategy” and “Four Coliseums of Business” analysis on TSC’s four critical strategic issues including the issues of establishing the “Opto-Electronics Department”, establishing the “Water Treatment Department”, IPO, and establishing the “Used Machine Department”. From which we could conclude how the semiconductor raw material distributors enhancing their Value Proposition, improving their Value Delivery, and achieving their Value Capturing. The briefing of these four issues is as followings: Issue 1: Establishing the “Opto-Electronics Department” Establishing the “Opto-Electronics Department” was to extend the TSC’s business model from indent order business to stock sale business. Also, this issue strengthened TSC’s ability of technical service, logistics, and financial management. The success of DUV Resist brought annual revenue of over NTD1.8 billion in 2005. Other major products such as CMP slurry, Epoxy Molding Compound, IC Underfill Material…could also copy the business model of DUV Resist. Issue 2: Establishing the “Water Treatment Department” Establishing the “Water Treatment Department” was to create new business in the semiconductor manufacturers’ facility area. TSC built up their engineering capability and also the subcontractor network. The success of separating the water treatment business into pure water and waste water two categories let TSC could have their own brand waste water business. Water treatment business contributed NTD1.5 billion in 2005. Also it brought new business chance like Cleanroom and Chemical Supply System. Issue 3: IPO IPO to let TSC has much stronger financial flexibility. The company status has been up rated and could be easier to recruit excellent employees. The financial management capability had been improved and the business network is much stronger. Issue 4: Establishing the “Used Machine Department” Establishing the “Used Machine Department” was to address TSC as a Total Solution Provider of High Tech Industry. TSC captured the business chance of semiconductor manufacturing used machine off-shore service from which they could extend the business to used machine buy-and-sale, logistics, refurbish, installation, parts sourcing, calibration/tuning, and process parameter setting. The company vision of Total Solution Provider of High Tech Industry will lead TSC to exploit the semiconductor industry with a higher and thorough position. / Through the “Three Aspects of Strategy” and “Four Coliseums of Business” analysis we could confirm that the above mentioned four critical strategic issues are of great positive effects to TSC in the sense of Business Domain, Core Resource, and Business Networks. Also we could see the continuous growth trend in the Value-Efficiency, Competence-Organization, Power-Networks, and Innovation- Authenticity coliseums. Therefore, the key strategies applied in these four critical strategic issues could be the bench mark of semiconductor raw material distributors for their further growth. From the description of these strategic issues and the adjustment/correlation of three aspects discussion, we could conclude the key strategies for a successful business model of semiconductor raw material distributor, and list these key strategies with respect to our three themes of study: How does the distributor secure their position in the value chain i.e. how to enhance their value proposition? 1.Expanding the service base and providing the total solutions to customers is very essential to secure the agency rights 2.Maintaining a freely flowing and circumspect human relationship network is a must-do job of distributors. 3.Distributors should take very caution when developing own-brand products, should not damage the relationship with principles. 4.Attending the service quality contest will strongly promote company’s image and improve competence. In what way the distributor compete with their competitors and perform better i.e. how to perform their value delivery? 1.The ability of identifying customers’ needs is proportional to the success of continuous growth of distributors. 2.People are the most valuable assets of distributors. 3.Competitions inside customer’s organization should be handled with care, and should maintain good communications with each departments of customer. 4.Distributor should establish an integrated supporting/subcontractor system. How does the distributor make their own benefit feasible i.e. how to achieve their value capturing? 1.Multiple business models are adequate for distributor. 2.Rearranging current service contents to create new business niches. 3.Fully utilize core competence to extend product lines and create new values. 4.Nimble and integral financial management is the foundation of long-term growth and can capture company’s value.
