智慧型手機時代來臨後，華人手機品牌廠有如雨後春筍般的冒出。本篇論文以小米、華為、宏達電作為個案研究對象，研究目的在於了解三間個案企業是如何在競爭激烈的全球市場中生存下來。關於研究發現，詳述如下： 小米是一家軟體導向的企業，採用互聯網行銷的方式，將銷售對象集中在網路顧客群，避開了屬於一級戰場的實體通路。最初在網路上建立口碑，待產品推出後，運用高性價比的特點吸引顧客，接著採用「饑渴行銷」的策略，以限量的方式去刺激顧客的購買欲望。然而，小米不靠販賣硬體獲利，主要的收入來源在於內容服務、應用程式、遊戲。 華為是一家硬體導向的企業，以販賣電信設備為主要經營業務。2009年進入到智慧型手機業務後，以「機海戰術」為領導方針，在不同價格區間都可以看到華為品牌的手機款式。2013年，施展雙品牌策略，「華為」和「榮耀」分家，主打高階手機P系列、D系列、Mate系列為華為品牌；主打中低階及網路市場為榮耀品牌。此外，華為旗下子公司海思擁有晶片自製技術，垂直整合能力在未來將會是華為角逐通訊市場的最大優勢。 宏達電是一家硬體導向的企業，屬於早期投入到智慧型手機業務的華人品牌廠，在歐美國家中具有一定的知名度。2011年曾經高居全球前五大智慧型手機品牌，競爭優勢在於工業設計及軟硬體整合，不管是手機的立體音效、鏡頭、金屬機殼都有自己的風格。雖然，在2012年第四季退出全球前十大智慧型手機品牌廠，但卻是台灣少數能夠走出國際的品牌大廠之一。 三間個案公司的競爭策略及商業模式各不相同，但卻讓世界看到了華人不是只有代工，也有能力在品牌和市場行銷做出令人印象深刻的成績。

無 / Purpose – The fast growth and global success of China’s ICT industry suggests the presence of national competitive advantages. The purpose of this study is to examine these competitive advantages and draw conclusions about their influence on company performance using the case of Huawei. Design/methodology/approach – Using the Porter Diamond Theory of National Advantage the study analyses the development of China’s telecommunication equipment industry and existing competitive advantages. Using the case of Huawei, the author explores the impact of Porter’s determinants on the company’s growth and global success. Findings – The study finds that China’s telecom equipment industry leveraged basic factors such as a large pool of low-cost labor while gradually developing more sustainable advantages. The Chinese government played a major role in driving initial demand for telecom equipment and facilitating the development of China’s ICT sector by opening its market to foreign investment and promoting innovation. Although the national competitive advantages elaborated in this study certainly helped the industry to excel, Huawei’s global success is also tied to its early decision to focus on R&D instead of relying on foreign technology. The additional support Huawei received from Beijing, particularly after being selected as a national champion, helped it in numerous ways but might hinder Huawei’s growth due to an increased negative image, particularly in the United States. Research implications – This research adds to the body of literature on the creation of national competitive advantages and their influence on the development and success of domestic industries.
