透過台灣與歐洲案例的對照,本研究指出企業在新產品導入(NPI)階段與客戶協作模式的差異。台灣企業(如聯發科、廣達與緯創)通常採取快速行動,依賴開發過程中的簡要溝通與即時調整;相較之下,歐洲的整合元件製造商(IDM)(包括英飛凌、恩智浦與意法半導體)則傾向於遵循更具結構化的工作風格,在流程初期便已明確編制文件規範與決策職責。
本研究針對六家企業進行文件對照分析,探討區域背景與商業模式如何影響 NPI 期間的客戶參與。研究結果顯示,即便追求相似的 NPI 目標,企業仍會因其產業地位與在地協調慣例,而在客戶參與方式上有所不同。此發現可為管理跨區域產品開發的經理人提供具價值的見解。
A comparison of cases from Taiwan and Europe shows differences in how companies collaborate with customers during the New Product Introduction (NPI) stage.Taiwanese firms such as MediaTek, Quanta and Wistron often move quickly, relying on brief check-ins and small adjustments made while development is already in progress.In contrast, European Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) including
Infineon, NXP and STMicroelectronics tend to follow a more structured working style, with documentation and decision roles arranged early in the process.Using a document-based comparative analysis of six firms, this study examines how regional context and business models influence customer involvement during NPI.The findings suggest that companies pursuing similar NPI goals may involve customers differently depending on their industry position and local coordination practices.These findings provide insights for managers coordinating product development across regions.
