台灣的製造型企業目前正處於腹背受敵的窘境，先進國家之企業以巨資和科技應用優勢持續地擴大其市場空間，開發中國家之企業也運用其充沛的勞力資源而逐漸地擴充其規模，台灣製造型企業之生存空間因此受到嚴重的壓迫，為低毛利生產陷入了生產效率和成本導向之惡性競爭中。此時，台灣製造型企業所需要的是一套超越競爭的思考模式，而價值創造導向的策略思維正是破局而出的關鍵。它不依循過去的成功經驗，也不受制於競爭者之作為，反而聚焦於本身核心能力的延伸，使競爭與自己無關，並透過與顧客和關係夥伴合作、與自然環境和社會共生的方式，以及價值創造導向的組織轉型，來為企業開創全新的價值網域和生存空間。本論文提出顧客價值、企業價值、環境價值、社會價值等四種價值創造導向，配合變革三部曲的策略性再思考、組織轉型、變革管理等三項進程，來呈現日本製造型企業的價值創造導向之企業轉型內涵。企業可以顧客需求為思考點，提供整合性的解決方案，創造顧客價值；以關係夥伴的利益為考量，整合價值網絡的總體流程，創造無疆界事業，提升企業價值；以自然環境的長期發展為出發，創造環境價值；或以增添社會福祉為目標，創造社會價值。論文中的個案顯示，任何價值創造導向所產生的結果，最終都可以有利於企業本身；其中顧客價值應是價值創造的近程目標，而環境價值與社會價值的創造才是價值創造的長期根本。
