Abstract
The time of high steel price is coming ,the competitive rules is still not change are low cost and discriminatory is the same as depression in economy .It is important to care for customer service product added values and to reduce management costs to prevent cycling from previous Dilemma .Collaboration Commerce is the perfect solution to promote competitive capability and to reduce cost for B2B. Collaboration Commerce is not only to share information to reduce cost but also promote market effective ,further , to create a transaction-platform for customer and supplier. Collaboration Commerce is not successfully in Domestic steel industry ,although electronized enterprise very early. Therefore, the introduction of IOS shall not only start from technological aspect, but also have to evaluate as a whole from collaboration, organization and technology. Hence, this research is based on the three major scopes of IOS addressed by Kumar and Crook (1999), and explores inter-organizational collaboration¡¦s influence on Collaboration Commerce through IBM e-Business Collaboration Tool / evaluation model for supplier ; furthermore, combines TEMPLET evaluation model to analyze enterprise¡¦s organization and technology capability to predict the possibility for domestic steel enterprises to promote Collaboration Commerce in the future. This research adopts qualitative research method and combines secondary literature to discuss the pioneer enterprises promotion processes, which implement the project of Collaboration Commerce , and through the analysis to verify and correct the initial concept model and theoretical claims of the research framework. Furthermore, in terms of case analysis, the research object is the big sized steel companies and their subcontractors of the big sized steel industry. Steel industry is one of the traditional domestic industries, which required highly specialty and labor division, all of its products have to be closely cooperated between manufacturers and subcontractors, so it is the model of standard upper and lower supply chains relationship, however, its supply chains still lack of information system¡¦s support till now. Therefore, it is expected to estimate the feasibility for Steel industry to promote Collaboration Commerce to upper and lower supply chains through this research, and bring up appropriate business model and relevant suggestions according to research results.
This research shows that case enterprise¡¦s Collaboration for supplier¡¦s capability is inferior to the pioneer enterprises C.S.C., on one hand it is because of the different industrial natures, and on the other hand is not ready for workflow . In terms of organization management and IT¡¦s capability, case enterprise has common or above organization levels, so it has adequate operating flexibility, however, to see as a whole, Furthermore, the research shows the problem and successful case and the implement strategy &planning. Case enterprises to implement Collaboration Commerce in the future shall enhance the strength and improve the weakness in evaluation model, and have all the supply chains levels up and balanced ,still great chances for it to promote Collaboration Commerce successfully in the future ,can improve the production ¡B Inventory ¡Bpurchase¡Bcustomer desire get good optimized,to integrate interenterprises from inner to outer and less labor via organization and technology.specially,it is easy to be successful in grouping enterprises for Collaboration Commerce ,because it is be shared for information and data transactions .Low cost and discriminatory are the keypoints in competition enterprises need to investigate the key performance indicator any time ,included people ¡Awrkflow ¡Astrategy etc. it shall have a team to promote Collaboration Commerce and discuss it one another by the top leader's support.
This research gives the steel enterprises that want to promote Collaboration Commerce 9 specific discoveries and 2 specific discoveries in organization and IT listed below: ¤@¡BOrganization and technology
1.The work flow of companies involve considerable human intervension due to sale discounts or seasonal adequate raw material.
2.Case enterprise care for intergrating application system and database will be helpful to promote Collaboration Commerce.
¤G¡BCollaboration for supplier
1. Digital divide exist still severely in suppliers of raw material and MRO due to the performance of investment.
2. Standardize is going in progress ,but communication and coordination process slowly.
3. Government¡¦s policy have the successfully cases ,so it will be lasting to be pushed
4. Collaboration ¡¥s capability of the case enterprises ¡¥s for supplier is not adequate due to not integrated database and work flow .
5. The definition of workflow and business rules is not accordance with interorganization .
6.The Circumstances for design collaboration have the new desires in globalization .
7.The transparant of inventory information is not yet acceptable in steel industry due to privileges.
8. The investment is too high in collaboration will be considered if implement collaboration commerce by efficient.
9. Collaboration production is helpful with each other in supply chains to share iinformations and closely customer relationship.
It is also expected to provide more valuable references for steel enterprises that want to promote Collaboration Commerce by this research.
