THE STUDY OF TARGET MARKET DEFINING AND POSITIONING OF THE TECHNOLOGY-PUSH PRODUCT-SIDE LIGHTING PLASTIC OPTICAL FIBER AS AN EXAMPLE 黃嘉彥 國立勤益科技大學研發科技與資訊管理研究所教授 蔡伯健 嶺東科技大學行銷與流通管理系講師 摘要 所謂的「技術推動型產品」是屬於公司先開發出技術,才開始找尋可應用範疇的市場,亦即,以技術「推動」產品的開發。此種產品具有很高的應用潛力,相對地,其開發風險高,可能獲利的時間慢,因此更需要完整的市場分析。本研究所探討的「側光塑膠光纖」產品是與發光二極體(LED)結合的新產品,雖然此項技術開發成功的先驅具有帶動綠色節能照明產業的廣泛新契機,但是若不對其潛在市場加以研析,在企業資源有限的情況下,反而不易開創出成功的產品。本研究首先針對側光塑膠光纖所可能應用之範疇進行資料搜集與深度訪談,由空間照明、燈飾業與交通標誌三項具應用潛力的產業評比顯示,交通標誌較具有發展空間,可視為此項「技術推動型產品」的目標市場。透過相關理論及研究文獻歸納,並根據專家訪談結果,整理出與交通標誌相關的九項評估準則,並依此來設計問卷給與專家填答。此九項屬性包括辨識性、省電、耐用性、安裝、維修、安全性、重量、價格與可塑性。本研究進一步就交通標誌中與光纖標誌具競爭力的產品(反光貼紙標誌、LED燈標誌、太陽能燈標誌、霓虹燈),運用多元尺度法進行集群分析,研究其市場區隔及定位與競爭態勢。研究結果顯示,五個潛在交通號誌的競爭產品,可分為三個競爭群。針對小樣本之評核數據特性,透過灰色關聯分析法,本研究提出五項競爭性產品的評比。本文經比較交通標誌之市場之需求與競爭態勢,確認側光塑膠光纖的產品優勢與弱點,並提供側光塑膠光纖在交通標誌市場行銷策略之建議。 關鍵詞:側光塑膠光纖、技術推動型產品、市場區隔、多元尺度法、灰色關聯分析 |
ABSTRACT This paper focus on the development of the side-lighting plastic optical fiber (SLPOF) since its usage could be more versatile than the traditional end-lighting POF. The side-lighting POF can be categorized as technology-push products. That is, a technical breakthrough opens the way for a new product, marketing then attempts to determine the idea's prospects in the marketplace. How the technology should be packaged to have the greatest appeal to its customers is of concern in this study. The future potential applications include designs for various soft light or multi-color luminescent lighting products, interior decorations, and traffic sign, and the latter is chosen as the most promising target market. According to the relevant theories and literature, we summarized nine criteria related with traffic sign, including resolution, energy consumption, durability, assembly, maintenance, safety, weight, price and plasticity. Based on these criteria, perceptual positioning analysis of MDS is conducted. Grey relation analysis (GRA) is applied to overcome limitation of small sample size and unknown distribution of samples, and the ranking of five candidates is presented. Through the market investigation of the traffic sign, the strength and weakness of the side-lighting POF is revealed, and the marketing strategic is proposed.

A COMTEMPLATION ON THE VALUE OF R&D INVESTMENT BASED UPON REAL R&D OPTIONS 藍宇文 龍華科技大學財務金融系助理教授 黃子晉 龍華科技大學財務金融系助理教授 張力 世新大學企業管理系助理教授 摘要 本研究利用實質研發選擇權理論中Bellalah(1999)的訊息成本模型為基礎,並嘗試融入會計的費用與資本觀點,以探討研發活動的價值。由於Bellalah並未考慮折舊與突發事件對研發價值具有的潛在影響,本研究嘗試推導出修正的模型,包含單純與複合選擇權,再利用產業資料對修正模型的合理性加以實證測試。研究結果除將指數衰退因子與卜瓦松事件納入修正模型中,以提醒管理者手中研發專案的價值可能因上述情境降低外,也實證出修正模型所計算的研發價值,不論在費用或資本基礎上,對企業的重要經營變數如股價等具有解釋能力。 關鍵詞:訊息成本、費用、資本、指數衰退、卜瓦松事件 |
ABSTRACT This study utilized the real R&D option theory especial the Bellalah (1999) information cost model, along with the expense and capital viewpoint belonging to accounting, as the discussion base for the exploration of R&D value. Since Bellalah did not consider the potential influence on R&D value due to depreciation and sudden event, we tried to modify the existing modles, including the simple and compound option, to fill up this shortcoming and empirically tested the modified models as well. The analyses yield included, first, the factors of exponential decay and Poisson event were incorporated with models to represent the situation of depreciation and sudden event which remind managers that the value of possessed R&D project could be diminished by; secondly, the derived R&D value through the modeified models on whether expense or capital base was empirically verified as having explanatory power on firms’prominent parameters including the stock price.

COLD CALL AND WARM CALL 杜志挺 香港中文大學決策科學與企業經濟學系教授 陳昭宏 國立雲林科技大學資訊管理學系副教授 摘要 參與者為中心的個案學習要求學生參與發言,藉以達到分享彼此意見和激盪產生新知之作用。華人學生大多普遍缺乏主動參與的習慣,如何使用冷呼和暖呼來鼓勵參與,對於提升華人教師和學生在課堂上的收穫有極大的幫助。冷呼可採用隨機點名或事先選定,除了用來鼓勵並確定學生課前的準備,並可依據學生背景主動地帶領學生深入討論。暖呼則是教師了解學生可能因為個性、文化或甚至語言因素使得該生無法自然地參與討論,進而事先安排並協助該生參與討論。而透過華人教學適當的配合技巧和運用條件的初探,應有助於冷呼和暖呼技巧的運用。 關鍵詞:參與者為中心的個案學習法、冷呼、暖呼 |
ABSTRACT Case Method and Participant-Centered learning request students are initiative in contributing their feedback, in the hope that opinion sharing and knowledge provoking are thus fulfilled. Most Chinese students are habitually less participative of classroom interaction; therefore, inspirational skills regarding how Cold Call and Warm Call are applied are conducive to enriching both teacher’s and students’ attainments. Cold Call is practiced by random call out or pre-designation among students, it not just encourages and ensures their preparation before class, but actively leads to further discussion based on students’ background. Warm Call is practiced by arranging and aiding students to take part in beforehand when students are found to have difficulties in participation due to possible characteristic, cultural, or linguistic reasons. Theoretically, probing into appropriate Chinese pedagogies and utilization conditions is beneficial to employ the skills of Warm Call and Cold Call.
