為了瞭解台灣區扣件業已經從事海外投資和考慮投資廠商的考量因素，本研究以台灣區扣件業者為研究對象，涵蓋製造商、貿易商、內銷業者和週邊相關業者，以變異數分析，因素分析，集群分析，區別分析和羅吉斯迴歸等統計方法，探討出業者從事海外投資的原因，茲歸納結論如下：

1. 已經從事海外投資者，當初從事海外投資的主要考慮因素是因應全球化的佈局，再者是找更便宜的生產基地，第三是著重於當地市場的開發。

2. 考慮從事海外投資者，找更便宜的生產基地是主要考慮因素，再者是看重當地市場的開發潛力，最後才是因應全球化的佈局。

3. 已從事海外投資和考慮進行海外投資者對從事台灣母公司行業的延伸，營運總部留在台灣，著重於當地市場的開發，當地幹部養成的困擾，海關、稅務問題的困擾及百分之百擁有股權有非常高的一致性。

4. 已經投資者和考慮投資者，皆認為投資的主要地區將在亞洲地區，而且主要投資地區是在大陸。

5. 已經從事海外投資者和考慮從事海外投資者，兩者對確保投資成功的重要因素有很大的差異性，尤其考慮從事海外投資者將政治因素擺在最重要的考慮因素。

6. 海外投資金額的大小，近三年平均年營業額，國際貿易障礙，國內投資環境惡化，與同業形成聚落關係，由小規模投資慢慢累積經驗，海關、稅務問題，文化認知差異和是否仍然熱衷投資等為廠商是否從事海外投資的重要決策因素。
