This research investigates IT investment trend of Taiwan big-scale logistics enterprises after the 2008 financial crisis and aims to examine whether enterprises follow the theory of ”Timing Options” to change their investments after the strong recession.
The main research hypotheses include that most of Taiwan big-scale logistics enterprises obviously increase their budget for IT investments after the recession, and they especially focus on improving both of the systems of “Global Logistics Management Collaborative Platform” and “RFID” due to the changes for the occurrences of new business models, like join operations and increasing logistics outsourcing cases which stimulated by the trend of separation between brand and manufacturing after financial crisis and by the encouragement from Taiwan government. The main results are as follows:
1. The total budget of IT investment from Taiwan big-scale logistics enterprises in the later period of this financial crisis in H2 of 2009 was bigger than the budget in 2008.The major factor is that there are specific companies which increase their budget for IT investments substantially. The companies feature with complete IT constructions and mainly operate land transportation、warehouse management and process manufacturing.
2. Most of Taiwan big-scale logistics enterprises didn’t obviously increase their IT investment for “Global Logistics Management Collaborative Platform” in the later period of this financial crisis in H2 of 2009, but some companies which are involved join operations really put more focuses on the system and more than 30% of them plan to embedded the system in to their platform before 2011 with high budget.
3. About 35% of Taiwan big-scale logistics enterprises plan to buy “RFID “related products before 2011. It means that IT system like “RFID” which can improve operating performance would really catch enterprises’ eyes in the special timing (in the later period of financial crisis). Companies which handle integrated operating items, especially for land transportation (42.86%), warehouse management (36.84%) and process manufacturing (36.36%) would be more interested in “RFID “system.
The results reward for government, information system suppliers, and Taiwan logistics players.
