The Wire and Cable industry is the medium of consuming industry to offer for electricity, communication, electronics, information, electrical home appliances and national defense, etc. Such categories include heavy industry, light industry and consuming industry. It is also the connection of national infrastructure and of folk construction. The impact of external environments, such as global depression, unemployment rate increasing, deflation and the changes of the inherent environment on the vibration of political and economical situation make the demand slowed down, and profit fell. Because various in style and wide use range, the Wire and Cable industry should set about from the analysis of the industrial structure, strategies, the wire & cable market of Taiwan at present. At the same time, The Wire & Cable industry is a skill-intensive industry too, containing machinery, organization, electronics, electrical machinery, chemical industry, physics as well as the knowledge of optics, photo-electricity, so it needs systematic integration to construct the skill that the industry can compete continuously. It is a competitive environment of chasing meager profit. Technology has become the key resources of enterprises, and it has already become the important issue how to create and utilize new knowledge for managing modern companies. At the beginning when manage enterprises, how to make the positioning, build the necessity and urgency of resources management, produce the systematic operation model and construct the core competencies from external management to internal activities. Owning to the lack of profundity and reference of the core flow about the Wire and Cable industry, especially technical construction, the research used literature review and case study to discover the technical construction model concerning enterprise's strategies, views of knowledge management and technological resource management with interview and questionnaire, This research plans to achieve the following items: 1.offer to understand the platform of management strategies for the Wire and Cable industry. 2.offer the workflow model of technology construction for the Wire and Cable industry.

The cable manufacturing industry may not be well known to some people, yet people’s very lives depend on products and services it produces. Today people live in a highly technological or digital world where most of the technology used by society has at least one electrical cable in it or is connected to a countrywide electrical or communications network through electrical cables in order to work. Well trained and experienced corporate and business leaders recognize the importance of lean supply chain and of being closer to one’s business suppliers for efficient running of the business. Like in all other countries where these industries exist, it is vital that the cable manufacturing industry survives and prospers in South Africa, for the benefit of South African telecommunications, electricity suppliers, computer networks and many more industries. However, today there are almost no boundaries in business owing to globalization which enhances free trade. The business environment is changing and there is fierce competition amongst international rivals. What happens then when customers are not happy with low quality products of one supplier? Would they not leave that supplier and look to the competition in order to get good quality products at reasonable prices? Of course they would. Consequently such a supplier would lose market share and ultimately be forced out of business. This research investigates the shortcomings in terms of the implementation of the principles of total quality and technology management in the cable manufacturing industry. It identifies the internationally recognised principles in the fields of total quality management and technology management as a means of enhancing a competitive advantage. Training and development are identified as extremely important supporting mechanisms which should be done professionally for the best results in the implementation of total quality and technology management principles. Finally, suggestions and recommendations based on best management practice are made.
