碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 高階經理人碩士在職專班 === 107 === Abstract Oil-sealed industry in Taiwan has been developed for more than half a decade. However, until now, the contract-based manufacturing is the main business model for Taiwanese oil-sealed makers to serve for the auto-transmitting manufacturers in Europe and the United States. The small-medium-sized oil-sealed makers in Taiwan still imitate the technologies of those advanced countries and hardly shorten the distances from those leading oil-sealed manufacturers in design, production, and quality. Recently, oil-sealed makers of emerging economies have made great progress in production and capacity, and been aggressively penetrating the oil-sealed market by low-price strategy, that render great threats to Taiwanese oil-sealed makers who are generally small in scale and lack of resources. Therefore, how to upgrade the technology, production, quality, and the overall competitiveness of Taiwanese oil-sealed industry through innovation has become a desperate issue. This study adopts the theoretic lens of dynamic capabilities and supply-chain collaboration together with Schumpeter’s five models of innovation in attempt to explore the corporate innovation strategy. Furthermore, this study proposes the strategic matrix of innovation for the small-medium-sized enterprises as an evaluation framework when they are in consideration of how to achieve value creation and to increase corporate values through undertaking different types of innovation. This study suggests that the optimal strategy of innovation of a small-medium-sized enterprise will be determined by the dynamic capabilities and the extent of the supply-chain collaboration that the enterprise owns in correspondence to the environmental dynamics. Through leveraging the external resources, small-medium sized enterprises are more likely to be capable of adapting to the competitive environment and effectively undertaking innovation for achieving the goal of value creation.
