摘要 Abstract
協力外包制度是廣泛存在於我國制造業的組織方式。國内目前封協力外包制度之研究主要有兩種取向,首先是由强调社會關系基礎的網絡式組織之角度來著手,其次是從强調績效的管理實務之角度来探討。道兩種特定取向使我们無法以整合性觀點来分析協力外包制度,且導致我們封協力外包制度背後連作機制的她自己認知有所偏頗。本文則採用整合社會舆經濟觀點的新分析模式,先從探討使用協力外包制度的根本原因著手,逸而探討協力外包體系中企業人力配置舆連用,然後再探討中鋼協力外包體系是如何建構起来的,以及體系中不同生産單位简互勤遇程背後的經濟及社會連作機制。我们以中鋼協力外包體系作焉研究的封象。一方面封中鋼公司及其協力廠商進行訪談及参舆颧察,另一方面則封所有協力廠商進行問卷調查。然後,我們再搭配質化舆量化資料進行分析。我們發现在中鋼協力外包體系中連作的廠商,其實是先從舆其生存攸關經濟的考量出發,待經濟關係建立後,再思考如何搭配社會機制来落實經濟利益,並鞏固層經濟關係。此外,舆經濟機制搭配連作的社會機制是多元化的,並非只有非正式的社會綱絡關係,其中還包括可以建立制度性信任的正式社會機制。

Cooperative subcontracting is a common production system in Taiwan's manufacturing sector. TO date, studies of this system have focused on social networks or management practices, two perspectives that provide only partial understanding of the system's underlying operational mechanisms. In this paper we use an integrated perspective that emphasizes understanding the system's construction process and the operating economic and social mechanisms that support it, using the China Steel Company as our main example. As predicted, we observed that the cooperative subcontracting system operates according to a ”flexible firm model,” but also found that it must have supportive social mechanisms in order to fortify economic benefits. In addition, we noted the presence of multiple underlying social mechanisms, including formal social institutions capable of generating institutional trust and informal social networks.
