Information Technology and Management in Taiwan

Paper Summary:

This paper provides a demographic overview of both America and Taiwan and shows how there are a great many similarities in the economic power of Taiwan and the United States. It shows how both nations have high GDPs and how both nations have relatively low unemployment rates. It compares the status of information technology management between the two countries and shows how although 80% of the internet is in English, Taiwan has the stronger internet penetration. It also shows how Taiwan is managing to keep up with businesses in America by realizing that the English language has become essential for global business and technology. It looks at how because of the large number of chip manufacturers, computer manufacturers, and other electronic manufacturing that is done in Taiwan, the country's computer engineers boast the highest percentage of English speakers in a particular profession.

From the Paper:

The report also gave three survival tactics for Chinese families that own businesses. The first is to "decentralize the decision-making process. That is to move away from a command and control system to a people-centered management strategy" while the second is to invest more in "human resources and provide opportunities for their staff who are not family members to be able rise to the top of the management tree" while the third strategy is to "embrace e-commerce to enable firms to reach global suppliers and customers at low cost" (Phuangkanok, 2000, 13). Those strategy suggestions make the case that management in Taiwan faces many of the same problems that management in America faces."
