生態系統(Ecosystem)作為一新興的經濟型態，乃一群具有異質性的參與者相互依賴所構成的互補性網絡，成員通常不受職權關係所拘束且共同圍繞著某一特定的價值主張進行價值的創造與獲取，以實現共享的願景，而其中作為生態系統領導者之中心企業(Focal Firms)若想扮演好協調者(Orchestrator)角色，有效的「治理」(Governance)即顯得格外重要。治理觀點(Governance)本身是一種非常廣泛且多面向的概念，過去的相關研究將生態系統治理認知為一連串包含協調到控制的過程，但尚缺乏系統化的定義，在應用層面上，亦較少提及「中心企業」該如何管理生態系統中的知識流動性(Knowledge Mobility)、創新專屬性(Innovation Appropriability)以及網路穩定性(Network Stability)等治理機制(Governance Mechanisms)，以及這些機制與生態系統發展間的關係。此外，半導體產業在產業解構與技術整合趨勢之下，在協作上已萌生生態系統思維，而過去研究卻鮮少以生態系統視角來檢視此產業內的集體協作(Collaboration)關係。因此，本研究以半導體產業中的創新生態系統(Innovation Ecosystem)為例，探討中心企業(Focal Firm)該如何在治理觀點(Governance)之下校準(Align)內外部的環境，逐步建立出生態系統之架構(Architecture)與價值主張，並依此設計相配適之機制(Governance Mechanism)，以成功扮演好協調者(Orchestrator)的角色，有效促進生態系統參與者之能動性(Agencing Engagement)。
而根據本研究結論，即時且有效地校準外部環境變化，將有利於中心企業對於生態系統建立之布局；此外，中心企業若能提出一共享願景以協助生態系統參與者創造價值，將能促進整體生態系統架構之發展；最後，中心企業為生態系統治理所設計之機制若能有效校準參與者之誘因與能力，將有利於生態系統架構之集體協作與穩定。

As the new structure of economic relationship, ecosystem is a complementary network formed by a group of heterogeneous participants. In the ecosystem, participants are usually not constrained by the relationship of authority and share value around a specific value proposition. In order to realize the shared vision and play the role of orchestrator, the effective governance will be particularly important to the focal firm. Governance is the broad and multi-faceted concept. In the past, relevant research have recognized ecosystem governance as a series of processes from coordination to control. However, the academic community still lacks a systematic definition of ecosystem governance. At the application level, relevant research rarely mention how focal firm manages knowledge mobility, innovation Appropriability and network stability in the ecosystem through governance mechanisms. The relationship between these mechanisms and ecosystem development is also very vague. In addition, under the trend of industrial deconstruction and technology integration, the semiconductor industry has formed an ecosystem in terms of collaboration. However, past research rarely examines the collaboration relationship in this industry from the perspective of ecosystem.

Therefore, this research takes the innovation ecosystem in the semiconductor industry as an example to discuss how the focal firm can align the ecosystem with internal and external environments from the perspective of governance. Then focal firm can gradually establish the architecture, value proposition of the ecosystem and design a suitable governance mechanism accordingly. Finally successfully played the role of orchestrator and effectively promoted the agencing engagement among ecosystem participants.
According to the results of this research. The first, the real-time and effective calibration of external environmental changes will be beneficial to the layout of the central enterprise for the establishment of the ecosystem. In addition, the central enterprise will be able to promote the development of the overall ecosystem architecture by presenting a shared vision to assist ecosystem participants to create value. Finally, the mechanisms of ecosystem governance will be beneficial to the collective collaboration and stability of the ecosystem architecture through effectively align ecosystem with the incentives and capabilities of participants.
