Abstract:
Taiwan's original design manufacturers (ODM’s) are anonymous companies that manufacture electronics components and products for global industry leaders like Nokia, Motorola, Dell, Sony and Apple. These contract manufacturers own some of the most efficient supply chains in the world, and are capable of competing with their leading customers but for the lack of a globally identifiable brand name. Acer, the Taiwanese computer maker's spin-off, BenQ, is an ODM, which is attempting to rise from obscurity by building its brand name using funds from its contract manufacturing business.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To highlight BenQ's brand building strategies
- To provide scope to discuss BenQ's ability to sustain the branding efforts when its prominent customers are severing business relations as the company evolves into their competitor
