Taiwan news
Clyde Warden, professor at the National Chung Hsing University, has arranged a Blogging round table on April 22, 2006. This event will be held at the National Cheng Kung university in Tainan, which is a city in the South of Taiwan. There is a poster of this event here.
The Taipei Times has yet another article on Benq, "a leading electronics maker" in Taiwan. That should read: "a loss-making electronics maker" Mr. Taipei Times reporter. This article describes how they have sold their optical storage unit to Lite-on, an optical-drive manufacturer. This well-timed sale will help Benq post better results at the next shareholders' meeting. You can expect a headline in the next few months along these lines: "Benq increases net revenues by X amount." Tricky.
More generally, Taiwanese OEM/ODM firms are feeling the heat from the South Koreans. Consequently, there have been many reports in the Taiwan press recently of new "strategic partnerships," mergers and even an increase in vertical integration.
