碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 資訊管理系 === 95 === Merger and Acquisition (M＆A) is a widely-asdopted and efficient strategy of enterprise management both in Taiwan and abroad nowadays. A successful M&A is that an enterprise is able to takes an effective approach or method in order to well coordinate the information technology (IT) resources existed in both parties, so the expected synergy of the combined enterprise will be achieved. The so-called expected synergy is to make an excellent use of IT so that the enterprise can well establish sound communication channels and further create the profitability for both parties. Therefore, information system integration plays a significant role in a combined enterprise. However, a M&A activity often increases a greater deal of complexities in information system integration. Moreover, the more time the information system integration takes, the greater the negative impacts on the desired synergy. Likewise, the possibility of the synergy effect will inevitably decreases in the mean time. The main purpose of this study is to help the high level managers be able to make more ideal decision on the self-built or outsourcing of the information system integration for a combined enterprise. In this study, firstly, the demands of information system integration are classified according to the desired synergy and critical success factors of the information system integration. Secondly, the categories and factors that requir to be considered for the information system integration of a combined enterprise are prosed based on the literature study. Finally, an self-built or outsourcing decision model of information system integration in the combined enterprise is proposed. This study also conducted three empirical case studies in the case company to illustrate how the proposed decision model help make objective decision on the self-built or outsourcing of information system integration.
