[[alternative]]A Study on Outsourcing Determinant Factors and Types of Children Digital Publishing

[[abstract]] 圖書出版產業一直處於變動的環境中，傳統出版形式不再是主要的選項。由於科技的進步，網際網路的盛行，新一代消費者「兒童」生長於充斥數位產品的環境，對於圖書數位產品，深受兒童喜愛。許多童書業者紛紛進行圖書數位化及網路服務。數位出版往往是由內容開發者或提供者與資訊科技業者合作，也就是內容擁有者透過外包，進行童書數位化製作。本文討論童書數位出版外包製作的類型暨其考量因素。想探究的是：童書業者採行外包以完成數位出版的過程中，業者在各方面的考量因素為何？以組織與承包廠商之間互動合作關係為基準，數位出版所建立的外包類型為何？其實質內容與意義為何？組織外包的考量因素，對於採行外包類型的影響為何？其相對作用大小為何？ 本研究採取多重個案研究設計，以童書業者進行書數位化外包製作的多個個案為對象，從多種管道取得與研究問題相關的資料，進行個案多重比較。然後，從多個個案中，分析童書業者採行外包的類型以及考量因素的綜合分析。 本研究歸結三種外包類型，包括單純交易型、關係發展型以及具策略目的型，並得到下列幾項結論： 1. 組織進行外包以獲取所需資源，隨著對於外包事業活動的重視，追求外包目標的達成，造成對於外部資源的需求越強烈，而且，面臨特殊資源需求的情況下，會倚賴承包廠商，造成組織與承包廠商之間關係內涵的不同，外包呈現不同的類型。 2. 當組織進行的外包項目具有專案的性質，隨著專案性質的不同，投資成本無法移轉至其他外包項目，而且，外包契約的簽訂，無法達到周全的管理，組織適時予以監督，隨著監督成本耗費的多寡，組織與承包廠商之間關係內涵的不同，外包呈現不同的類型。 3. 在外包合作的過程中，承包廠商獲得組織的信任，隨著信任水準的高低，獲得不同的正向性回饋，而且，隨著內在感性情誼的加深，組織與承包廠商之間關係內涵的不同，外包呈現不同的類型。[[abstract]] Publishing industry is always in dynamic environment, and the traditional publishing is not the main stream anymore.
