Abstract
In recent years, Taiwanese industries investing in Mainland China have switched from traditional industries to hi-tech enterprises and their investment strategies have changed from production cost saving to division of labor and industry integration. However, without support of efficient and effective IT system, enterprises cannot quickly adjust to business environment varying from minute to minute. Thus, in this research, a study is conducted to investigate the roles of IT systems in facilitating hi-tech companies to gain accurate information and support just-in-time operations. The findings suggest that most IT system adopted by the subsidiary in China are transferred directly from the parent company in Taiwan. They are not built from the scratch nor modified by the subsidiary due to considerations such as smoothing usual operation, building up the same domain knowledge, and shortening production schedule. Whether the subsidiary in China is directly supervised by the parent company in Taiwan will affect the level of support by the MIS department in Taiwan. In addition, the subsidiary members¡¦ values and commitment will affect cross-strait IT architecture. In the area of risk management, the perception of information security risk differs between Taiwan headquarter and China subsidiary because of different needs and business models. Distrusting China subsidiary members is still an issue to develop cross-strait IT security systems.
