hTC and India

2015 - 07 - 06

hTC has partnered with India-based phone distributor Global Devices Network to initiate its production plan in India.

「……宏達電將攜手印度手機經銷商 Global Devices Network 啟動印度製造計畫,然而,不只宏達電,三星、小米、微軟等廠商都將眼光看向印度智慧手機市場,宏達電能藉此起死回生,又或只是換在另一紅海沉浮還未可知。」

我就講能講的部分好了。

1. 不論量衝上多少支,hTC在高度競爭的市場都賣不出可以看的毛利,接下來我們已見即將在印度發生的流血惡戰更將逼它敗走切腹。在減除直接成本、折舊攤提、行銷費用、以及其他overhead後,依我粗估,倘若真的進軍那兒的話,前幾年平均連5毛台幣的稅後都貢獻不出來,在財報數字上根本幫不了忙。您就別問前幾年之後了,那時hTC在餅圖上還看不看得到位子都不知道。

2. 這家公司向來的問題,在於獲致初步成功後所養成的從上到下的自大、驕氣、與目中無人;這一點到目前依舊沒變,要怎麼好起來?股價750元時,我就已對幾位有公信力的朋友公開講它將掉到150元,事後也證明在那個價位上下停留最久。

3. 瞎猜ASUS要併購它的人根本完全不懂併購的核心思考與技術;hTC想要活下去再取得市場的信任,只能靠自己,作打掉重練的調整,以內容帶硬體、從應用帶硬體,都是可以揣摩的方向。畢竟,從全球的角度,當前舉目所及,沒半個人會對它出手。

我從多年前就確認宏達電已走向墮落,也持續痛責它的幾位領導人不適任,在我部落格裡罵得更凶;但這一切都純粹是基於客觀的評估。在主觀上,我仍誠心祈願這個台灣品牌更好。

Other Cases

Besides the criminal law, corporate law, securities and exchange act, patent law, and fair trade act, there are many laws that are highly important to business owners. 除了本書前面章節裡面談到的刑法、公司法、證券交易法、專利法與公平交易法之外,與公司負責人息息相關的法律還有許多種1,舉幾個例子來說: 勞工安全衛生法(技術性) 勞工安全衛生法之立法目的在於防止職業災害,保障勞工安全與健康2,如該法規定雇主應該要設置必要的安全衛生設備防止特定災害之發生3,還有像是如果是具有危險系的機器設備則是需要經過主管機關之檢查合格後才可以使用4,若違反這些規定而發生職業災害的話就要負擔刑事責任5。 稅捐稽徵法(抽象) 人民都有納稅的義務,各企業行號當然也必須依照稅捐稽徵法之規定繳納各種稅捐,如果納稅義務人有使用詐術或其他不正之方法逃漏稅捐者,依稅捐稽徵法第41條之規定就有五年以下的有期徒刑還可能併科六萬元以下之罰金! 企業都要節稅,但是正當與不正當就會有天差地別的後果。 商業會計法(技術) 商業會計法則是規範公司行號當中的各種會計事務之法規,因為企業的各種財務報對於國家整體的經濟與廣大的投資人來說都有深遠的影響,其重要性不言可喻,所以如果企業的商業負責人或是會計人員有不實製作、銷毀或是偽造變造各種會計表冊時也負擔刑事責任6。 消費者保護法(技術)…
