長期創新之研究─以A公司之影像電話為例 / The research of long-term innovation - taking "A" company as example.

台灣經過幾十年的努力,已逐步朝向低勞力、高資本、與高技術密集的經濟型態發展。然而,當我們更進一步審視這些台灣企業時,將會發現它們的獲利情形並沒有大家期待的那麼好,若與歐美日的企業比較起來則可以發現獲利率的差距仍然很大。最主要的因素之一乃是我國產品的技術層次不是很高。事實上,如果以資訊電子廠商而言,平均有超過百分之七十以上的收益是來自接OEM(代工)的訂單。很明顯地,許多企業仍然是以製程改善及成本降低為主要的競爭優勢來源,因此,所得到的附加價值就比較有限。創新是許多企業想要走的路,卻也是一條坎坷的路,能夠長期持續不斷的創新企業,更是少數。為了明瞭長期持續不斷創新辛苦過程,本研究特以A公司作為研究對象。希望從研究中能給予想要走相同之路的企業作為參考。
A公司成立於民國75年,主要產品為繪圖卡、多媒體視訊卡等。創立之初資本額為600萬新台幣,自始至今皆以PC Base為基礎性平台開發相關資訊科技產品,自民國83年起更以自有品牌行銷繪圖卡,為國內少數的非外商資訊硬體品牌,在國內外知名媒體的硬體評鑑中更是獲獎無數,立足亞洲一隅,而今進而成為電腦繪圖卡世界前三名廠商之一。然自1995年,Intel 發表整合型芯片,將繪圖功能整合於系統邏輯芯片中,雖然效能不足,但有極佳的價格優勢,對於當時佔有40~50%的低價繪圖卡而言,有極大的威脅。在此危機意識下,總經理(從創業的第一天起,期許A公司是台灣的貝爾實驗室)亦在思考未來產業發展方向為何?A公司如何能建立新的核心競爭力,在未來10年、20年脫穎而出,經多次於美國矽谷探訪,確認影像傳輸是未來必然影像人類生活的重要科技,自此,A公司開始了近10年的影像不歸路。
此一創新之路,走來一路坎坷,若無決心與毅力,決無可能維持至今,其中之過程,團隊的建立,核心技術的取得,市場之多變,人才之去留,耗時之長,組織之規劃,有許多可探討之處。
A公司於1996年便投身於影像電話製造與研發,高互動與高分享性的通訊工具,在當時幾乎可以說是痴人的夢想,但是長期專注於資訊消費品的A公司,抑然投入研發人力與資源,走向一條不同往常的路,路途崎嶇自是不在話下,究竟是怎樣的一個美夢,才能使險阻化為美麗的果實呢?又在新科技突飛猛進的時代,是否還能持續領先?或因不連續時代的來臨,而血本無歸呢?
本專案屬於仍在進行中之公司重要計劃,雖然產品已然上市,但是依A公司對於產品計劃的定義與市場反應而言,影像電話的獲利了結或認賠退出,其執行結果的觀察尚屬言之過早,所以本文將研究A公司對於影像電話產品的思維,管理、專案、歷史、商業的等角度,描述影像電話的發展策略、計劃背景、團隊運作、衝突協調,以點、線、面的方式架構出A公司的昨天、今天,甚至是未來的夢。亦可作為其他企業邁向創新之路之參考。 / There is more than 70% revenue of most of the Asia IT product manufacturers actually came from OEM business. This model forces the manufacturers doing their best to reduce the cost of manufacturing then able making profit for the company. However, this “Red Ocean” model could only make very limited margin.
Technology and Product innovation are the approaches to have companies getting in to the “Blue Ocean” and bringing more profits. However, those approaches need to go with lots of investments including money, time, human resource but still not a guarantee to be succeeded. Many of the companies had failed by the approaches in the past and more new comers still enter the competition by the same approaches.
However, Experiences let us know that innovations activities must be managed and controlled carefully. And it leads to more questions. Can the management or process of innovation could be taught or transferred? What concepts, techniques, tools, and management process facilitate successful technological innovation? The answers to these several related questions are concerned with great interest by academics and industries who consider themselves with organizations in which technology and innovation are vitally important.
This research discusses “A” company who is famous on Graphic card market and with world-class brand. “A” company spent more than 10 years on technology innovation of “Video Conferencing ”but still not success due to the newer generation technology been brought to market every three years. In this thesis, we will discuss the reasons and causes from many different angles and aspects of technology innovation management which we hope it could be the reference in the future of others companies who also rely on technology innovation as the core strategy.
