Organizational Innovation - A Case Study of the Traditional Industry in Taiwan

21st century has been the so-called the era of knowledge-based andinnovation-driven economy. As Taiwan has been stepping into the stage of slower growth, the major issue for Taiwan¡¦s future development is how we progress toward
the innovation-based industrial growth. Facing the hypercompetitive future, staying efficient, keeping costs down, delivering products and services on time and to a
sufficient standard of quality are goals that merely ensure the organization stays alive. Continuous innovation has been widely regarded as the major source of competitive
advantage and the base on which an enterprise builds its core competence, uplifts its competitiveness and expands its global market share.
With the recognition of the importance of organizational innovation, the purpose of the study is trying to examine the current status of organizational innovation in Taiwan's traditional industry, hoping to provide some guidelines for the industry to enhance its competitiveness via innovation.
The research suggested two main steps to enhance the innovation system: (1) examine and evaluate a firm¡¦s existing organizational innovation and (2) reconstruct
the innovation system. After the analysis of Taiwan¡¦s traditional industry, the guidelines to improve organizational innovation include: (1) improving administrative innovation, (2) improving information system, (3) collaborating with external organizations, (4) developing brand names, (5) developing disruptive innovation, and (6) reinforcing flexibility and adaptability.
