Summary: | 博士 === 中國文化大學 === 政治學研究所 === 88 === Government action aimed at establishing a planned process for "Reinventing Government" in Taiwan, has been apparent ever since 1998, and many projects have already gone through the various stages of formulation, authorization and implementation. It is, however, clear that the accomplishment of "Reinventing Government" has not been an altogether satisfactory process from the perspective of Taiwan citizens. There has been a failure to solve the administrative problems that have existed for so long, and clearly, the opportunity to undertake successful administrative reform has been squandered.
The problem lies in the government''''s attempts at importing the sort of ''''reinventing'''' strategies used by the west, since the administrative and bureaucratic cultural gap between western and eastern nations is just too great to make these projects viable. Copying another nation''''s experiences in reinventing government without having any form of deliberation, is unlikely to lead to success, thus this article recommends that the government of Taiwan should adopt a "benchmarking" strategy in order to adapt its approach to "Reinventing Government" strategies. The "action" orientation of benchmarking can help to solve all the problems caused by the administrative and bureaucratic cultural gap, and dispose of the obstacles which hinder current administrative reform.
