當投資環境發生變化時, 某些企業便會出現移動現象, 尤其受到全球整體經濟不景氣的影響下, 企業營運的快速因應更是重要。 中國自1979年鄧小平推動改革開放，歷經將近40年的發展，中國藉由低廉的勞動人力帶動經濟高度成長，吸引了全球各國目光，紛紛到中國投資。隨著中國勞動力成本的優勢不再，整體營運成本上升，政府要求企業產業轉型升級等，對台商在經營上產生很大的影響。而許多資料也指出，在面臨中國整體運營成本上升時，不少台商選擇到具備低廉勞動力成本和人口紅利優勢的東南亞國家進行投資設廠。 本研究結合企業成長理論、資源基礎理論，並配合區位選擇理論和生產力工資理論，探討台商在大陸經營成長過程中，面對中國投資環境改變，對於區位選擇的策略影響。期望藉由本研究提供未來台商在區位選擇上的參考。透過個案公司的深入訪談，本研究發現台灣中小企業受限於企業規模及營運資金規模，加上大環境是連動、相互影響的複雜動態系統，許多決策是多面向且多變的，因此台商在思考區位選擇時，除了首重關注勞動成本，也需考量目標市場及產業特性和其他因素的影響。When the investment environment changes, some enterprises will experience a transformational phenomenon, especially in recent years, with the global financial crisis, and the global economic downturn.
