For example; machine tool industry, the semiconductor industry, TFT-LCD panel industry. At the perspective of industry clusters, this study explores how machinery and equipment industry in Taiwan was affected by financial tsunami, which includes machine tool industry, the semiconductor industry, and TFT-LCD panel industry. The subjects were categorized into two groups, traditional equipment and electronic equipment. These two groups were researched respectively how they were affected by the financial tsunami and how they react to the crisis with views of market concentration, customer concentration, technology intensity, and product line breadth.
