To reveal the characteristics of EMS industry, we firstly compare an EMS company (Foxconn) against two companies in other industries—one is Acer (a brand-oriented company) and the other is Sunfar (an ending-channel company). The comparison reveals that the EMS company outperforms the brand-oriented company in terms of many financial measures. This finding provides a counter-example to the Smile-Curve theory, which is popularly advocated in Taiwan. To identify the key success factors of EMS, we secondly compare two EMS companies, one is Faxconn and the other is Quanta. The comparison reveals two important findings. First, the gross margins of electronic products are constantly decreasing due to the mature of electronic manufacturing technology. Secondly, facing such a margin-diminishing era, an EMS company will be more competitive if it could establish a highly-integrated supply chain to increase the margin rate by including more self-made components in its final products. With such a comprehensive supply-chain, the quoting price will become more competitive, lead to higher sales volume, and result in low unit cost. In addition, it provides opportunities to extend the scope of final products. As a result, it will build a high-entry barrier due to economy of scale.
