ABSTRACT
In order to effectively manage the investment in China, Taiwanese enterprises need to develop information systems (IS) that can facilitate efficient operational control and decision making. This study investigates the various architectures that are employed by manufacturing enterprises investing in the south-eastern coastal area of China for such purpose. The results show 1. The vendor support for software and hardware is poor when the plant site is far away from cities; 2. There are more problems for China-based IS units than those in Taiwan; 3. The communication infrastructure in China is inferior to that in Taiwan; 4. Many application systems in China are based on those in Taiwan, although adjustment is often necessary in order to adapt realistically to situations in China; 5. Taiwanese enterprises always set up their own security systems that suit their own needs; 6. The interface between traditional Chinese Kanji and simplified Chinese characters is a non-issue; 7. The system security, the existing application structure used in Taiwan, number of connecting points in China, and the efficiency of leased telecommunication line are the main factors for enterprises to consider when making decisions on the IS architecture; and 8. If leasing telecommunication lines is acceptable, the IS managers should base the IS architecture in Taiwan to increase the efficiency, enhance the security, and reduce cost.
