共享單車趨勢下傳統單車模組供應商之競爭策略—以自行車鍊條為例

Abstract

台灣許多零件製造商的中小企業，在全球產業中上游擔任不可或缺的供應商角色，創造出節節高升的產品附加價值。在台灣，這些中小企業提供大量就業機會，是整體經濟成長的驅動力及經濟體系的主幹。另外，也有不少研究指出，中小企業能帶動更均等的經濟成長，亦為產業供應鏈中學習與創新的泉源。 台灣單車模組供應鏈中，亦有一些企業在全世界市場占有高份額，但社會知名度低的中小企業，其中一例為單車鍊條供應商，桂盟鍊條，為台灣單車模組供應鏈中隱形冠軍的代表。自去年起，共享單車在中國掀起一陣旋風，在中國的一二線城市停滿共享單車的情景比比皆是。這新市場的產生對台灣單車模組供應鏈造成巨大的衝擊，若不正視此問題，未來其能從事生產的單車市場將越來越小，這無非是造成台灣經濟巨大衝擊的引爆點。 本文首先研究中國共享單車的市場概況，再針對市場之主要品牌單車做比較，最後比較台灣微笑單車與中國共享單車之借還流程，以上述研究結果了解共享單車如何衝擊台灣單車模組供應商。推論出衝擊範圍後，再推測台灣廠商應對此衝擊之選擇。接著以桂盟鍊條為例，從選擇中找出機會點並設法擬出策略切入共享單車供應鏈。最後，以價值創造循環呈現桂盟鍊條在共享單車市場創造價值的方式與過程，並體現桂盟鍊條如何實現商業策略及與市場中其他角色的合作關係。

Ultimately, it would become a big negative impact to Taiwan economy.
