چکیده
Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. SUMMARY • The most important driver behind e-commerce in Taiwan appears to be international competitive pressure; this is especially evident in the manufacturing sector. • E-commerce is more widely diffused in the manufacturing sector in Taiwan, compared to the retail/wholesale and financial sectors, which are more domestic-market oriented. • The primary motivating factor behind e-commerce adoption is to better serve customers, and the Internet also allows firms to improve the efficiency of their internal processes and to enhance staff productivity levels. • In comparison with manufacturing firms in other countries, Taiwanese firms are more concerned with improving forward linkages to their customers than improving backward linkages to their suppliers. • The purpose of the adoption of e-commerce is predominantly to broaden their customer base by exploring new marketing channels, or to create competition for the traditional channels. • This stands in sharp contrast to global firms, which tend to use it mainly to improve the traditional marketing channels.
