工程塑膠在工業之中被大量使用,台灣每年生產及銷售量達到數十萬公噸,本研究針對工程塑膠中的UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene;UPE)材質圓棒市場來研究,該材質由於綜合性能高,所以被大量使用,但該材質由於素材定義規範,造成該產品市場具有品質差異化特性,且該產品市場顧客因為對品質偏好有所不同而形成顧客異質性。
雖然UPE圓棒市場需求持續增加,但市場競爭激烈且主要以價格為競爭手段,不過在該產業之中高品質的產品仍有其存在必要性,本研究希望配合實務情境及運用產品差異化策略來改善銷售方式,提升獲利。本研究架構情境為市場存在兩家公司,個案公司為UPE圓棒市場主要供應商及製造商,而競爭者則是單純從國外進口來販售,而競爭對手由於其商業考量決定轉向跟個案公司進貨,將會對目前市場供應鏈架構及銷售方式產生影響,而在本研究之中將透過產品差異化策略來做為研究主軸,運用不同的銷售策略來建構三種模型,後透過賽局理論來探討在不同模型中當整個市場達到均衡情況下的價格、需求、利潤,之後透過數值分析研究在不同模型下的影響,然後找出個案公司最有利銷售模式。
透過數值分析發現對個案公司來說,將高品質及低品質產品分開銷售給市場,同時銷售低品質產品給競爭者的情境下為最有利銷售模式。所以個案公司應改掉過去由業務端來決定出貨產品類型並以統一價格販售高品質及低品質產品的銷售方式,在未來改為將不同品質產品分開銷售,並針對不同的目標客戶訂定價格,達到市場區隔,此外也應盡量維持市面上的產品有較高的產品差異化,避免需降價求售導致獲利下滑。
This thesis studied the market for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene rod (UHMWPE rod, also known as UPE rod), which, due to the standards of how such substances are defined, possesses the characteristics of quality differentiation, and therefore, results in customer heterogeneity. Although the competitors in the market primarily focus on price competition, high-quality products still play a crucial role in the industry. The purpose of the thesis is to combine the practical situation with product differentiation strategies in the hope of improving sales methodology and boosting profit.
The thesis framework is based on the setting in which two companies compete with each other in the local market. One of them is the case study company which has been the primary supplier and manufacturer of UPE rod in the local market, while its competitor distributed products which are imported from abroad. Recently, with business considerations the competitor turned to the case-study company for supply, hence making an impact on the market in terms of its supply chain structure and sales strategies. This thesis studied different sales strategies by developing three game models. The numerical analysis showed that separately fulfilling the demands for high- and low-quality products in the market while selling low-quality products to the competitor is the most favorable sales strategy for the case study company. Moreover, product differentiation should be made as much distinctly as possible in order to segment the market and increase profit.
