The mode of competence development for Flat Panel Display: technology competence to market competence
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
Previous studies have illustrated that international business competence types should be developed sequentially (e.g. technologies promote markets, TPM); however, few studies have clearly indicated which type of competence a firm with limited resources should first develop to facilitate attaining other follow-up competence types. In practice, we observe contradiction that the international businesses adopt the market competence to transfer external firm’s technologies (MPT). It is an interesting phenomenon that motives to resolve the gap between the theoretical argument and practice. This study explored whether a firm with limited resources should first develop technology. By longitudinally tracking two Taiwan Flat Panel Display (FPD) equipment manufacturers for 8 years and using the extended case method (ECM), the ideal competence development route for manufacturers was determined: to first exploit technology competence. This study indicated that the mode of international business competence development was determined by resource characteristics, learning mechanisms, and development routes. We found if firms possess improvement resources (IR) or social resources (SR), then they should apply an inside-out or outside-in routes; in other words, these firms should first exploit technology competence or explore market competence, and then apply the intraor inter- OL mechanisms to facilitate attaining other competence.
