e-Learning has been developed for a decade in Taiwan, where rapidly kept pace with advanced countries. Many industries create e-Learning best practice and become benchmark in a leading way in Greater China. Taiwan government plays a critical role to support digital learning development through counseling, project import, quality certification system, technology transfer and R&D subsidies. In this study, the author who has been a technical worker in an e-Learning company for years observes its development and improvement to analysis the key points in each stage of development. Furthermore, the case study is about the integration of group enterprises and its strategy corresponds to each stage to research the future of digital learning industrial chain development. The e-Learning industry is both competitive and cooperative. Every company¡¦s products are competing, but they also need to integrate with each other before they can offer clients the solutions and right services. Therefore, the study focuses on whether the group enterprises take advantage of its industrial value chain integration to raise the position and compete with the other companies to make the maximum performance. There is also hoped that the results of the study will provide the reference of success possibility for digital learning or new industry.

With the decades of rapid development of China's economy, especially in the latest 20 years, more and more Chinese enterprises went abroad to acquire high-tech enterprises from developed countries. To develop its Made in China 2025 plan, Chinese enterprises drew significant inspiration from Germany’s relevant experience and helped Chinese enterprises to discover the main reasons Chinese enterprises invest in Germany. Through acquisition, Chinese enterprises hope to achieve the perfection of the industrial chain through CBMA (cross border mergers and acquisitions) and further increase the value of Chinese enterprises; expand the business scale globally, realising scale advantages and enhancing market competitiveness; diversify and extend business to disperse business risk for enterprises; and improve the overall market layout and make up the shortcomings the enterprise has in a certain product region.

The manufacture process of biodiesel produces approximately 10% glycerin, the main byproduct. Due to the growth of the biodiesel industry in Brazil and abroad, the high volumes of glycerin become a bottleneck in this chain, given that currently use the glycerin market serves a very narrow and specific. Many efforts have been directed to find strategic alternatives for the sustainable use of biodiesel derived glycerin. The competitiveness of the production chain, which originates with the glycerin byproduct of the manufacture of biodiesel, has as one of its determinants identifying technological routes and products to intensify the consumption of this product. In this dissertation, the goal was to determine how it is being done to manage technological innovation and progress in the identification and discussion of the influence which the glycerin is delivering on the biodiesel production chain, seeking possible ways to increase both competitiveness of Brazilian production chain glycerin and biodiesel. To achieve this, interviews were conducted with biodiesel producers, producers and consumers of glycerin and laboratories and research institutes. These interviews were conducted with the aid of a semi-structured questionnaire. A documentary analysis on patents involving the object of study was also performed to verify the main uses found for glycerin. With this, through a chain mapping of glycerol, was described and analyzed the dynamics of their operation and also identified the players who participate directly and indirectly, as well as the productive chains of biodiesel and glycerin are dealing with the management technological innovation aimed at the production thereof. By analyzing the factors of firm strategy, industry standard, technology transfer, leadership, opportunity, appropriability and cumulative, and also with the emergence of new businesses and new markets for the sector was possible to identify a great technological potential for the sector of glycerin. However, due to technological challenges still exist in the production process of biodiesel, this biofuel industry is not focused on these new opportunities. / O biodiesel é apontado como uma alternativa viável para substituir parcialmente os combustíveis fósseis. O processo produtivo do biodiesel gera aproximadamente 10% de glicerina, seu principal coproduto. Devido ao crescimento do setor de biodiesel no Brasil e no mundo, os altos volumes de glicerina tornaram-se um gargalo nesta cadeia produtiva, já que atualmente o uso da glicerina atende a um mercado muito restrito e específico. Muitos esforços têm sido direcionados para encontrar alternativas estratégicas sustentáveis para a utilização da glicerina derivada do biodiesel. A competitividade da cadeia de produção, que se origina com a glicerina resultante da fabricação de biodiesel, tem como um dos seus fatores determinantes a identificação de rotas tecnológicas e de produtos que intensifiquem o consumo deste produto. Nesta dissertação, o objetivo foi verificar como está sendo feita a gestão da inovação tecnológica e avançar na identificação e discussão sobre a influência que a glicerina está proporcionando sobre a cadeia produtiva do biodiesel, buscando possíveis caminhos para aumentar a competitividade brasileira tanto da cadeia produtiva da glicerina quanto do biodiesel. Para atingir este objetivo, foram realizadas entrevistas com os produtores de biodiesel, os produtores e os consumidores de glicerina e de laboratórios e de institutos de pesquisa. Estas entrevistas foram realizadas com auxílio de um questionário semi-estruturado. Uma análise documental sobre as patentes depositadas envolvendo o objeto de estudo também foi realizada para verificar os principais usos encontrados para a glicerina. Com isto, por meio de um mapeamento da cadeia da glicerina, foi descrito e analisado a sua dinâmica de funcionamento e também foram identificados os agentes que dela participam direta e indiretamente, além de como as cadeias produtivas do biodiesel e da glicerina estão tratando a gestão de inovação tecnológica voltada para a produção da mesma. Com a análise dos fatores estratégia da firma, padrão setorial, transferência de tecnologia, liderança, oportunidade, apropriabilidade e cumulatividade, e também com o surgimento de novas empresas e novos mercados para o setor foi possível identificar um grande potencial tecnológico para o setor da glicerina. Porém, devido aos desafios tecnológicos ainda existentes no processo produtivo do biodiesel, o setor deste biocombustível não esta focado nessas novas oportunidades.

在二十一世紀中，節能已成為一個重要的議題，而在眾多的節能產品之中發光二極體的發展更是為全世界所注意。本研究有鑑於台灣於發光二極體產業之產值目前已經居於全球第二名，僅次於第一名的日本，嚐試進一步分析台灣於LED產業的技術面以及管理面有何優缺點，並試圖給予進一步的建議。本研究依據發光二極體的產業鏈位置、公司成立時間以及規模等因素挑選了四間具有代表性的公司進行個案公司的相關專利佈局分析以及探討。在本研究最後的研究結論分別針對市場面、技術面以及智慧財產經營管理面做出結論，研究中發現多數廠商有事業策略落後專利佈局以及佈局範圍不夠廣泛的問題。而相對於以上所提及之研究結論，本研究也進一步做出建議：在公司的研究發展方面應做到智慧財產的同步化、將智慧財產的概念體現於公司的組織定位中以及加強研發人員的教育訓練；在技術方面，台灣廠商應積極加入制定相關標準的組織，並在接受國外廠商授權時更要積極的同步建立自主技術及專利以提升技術層次，強化自身競爭力；在策略運用方面，台灣廠商應避免將智慧財產窄化成法律的議題、善用策略聯盟跳脫傳統代工的思維、積極的部屬而非消極的跟隨、以合作的思維替代競爭的思維以及注意分散風險的概念。 / The Light Emitting Diode (LED) has become the center of attentions from industries worldwide due to its performance in energy conservation. The value share of Taiwan’s LED industry has achieved a supreme degree only second to that of Japan. This thesis aims to analyze the merits and shortages of technical and management field of LED industries in Taiwan and to provide further suggestions. The research selects four representative companies as case studies of their patent strategies, The selection criteria includes the company’s position in the industrial chain, the age and the business scale. The thesis ascertains a fact that most industries’ patent strategy is usually restricted and falls behind their business plan. This thesis suggests the synchronization and realization of intellectual property in the R&D through organization assemble and personnel training. Taiwan industries should expand the content of IP management other than legal issues, well utilize strategic alliance, transcend old-fashioned OEM management thinking, adopt the role of an active agent instead of a passive follower, collaboration instead of competition, and pay attention to diversification.
