Abstract

全球貿易業的發展已久、科技日新月異以及網際網路的急速發展，大幅改變原先全球貿易資訊不對稱的情況，導致流通貿易商的獲利空間與價值創造受到巨大的威脅。尤其是對於傳統的流通貿易商來說，全球分工導致生產成本較低的開發中國家從中崛起，喪失生產成本優勢的製造商會有更大的誘因跳過流通貿易商直接進行交易，而傳統的流通出口流通貿易商又該如何回應這股市場趨勢？本研究欲以台灣的S公司的個案分析為例，以個案之實務經驗為主，佐以文獻探討相互映證，作為架構本研究之內容。並將研究重心放在經營模式與成長策略上，欲探討流通貿易商該如何在去中介化的趨勢之下持續的創造與維持價值。 透過進一步的策略分析，本研究發現流通貿易商在適當的環境下確實可以透過正確的成長策略來達到企業的擴張。如本個案中的S公司即企業面臨不同的考量之下做到了水平多角化、集中多角化、產業垂直整合，並同時創造創新的經營模式，藉由產業的垂直整合，S公司不僅僅從事貿易的業務，還包辦了原料採購、產品研發與客戶端設計的作業。如此的經營模式使得S公司得以在眾多中小流通貿易商中脫穎而出，持續的為客戶創造價值並維持良好的商譽。
