RESULTS AND DISSCUSION
Nine enterprises have participated in this study, in
which all were large and medium assembly
manufacturers in Taiwanese electronics industries. In
order to determine the importance of the dimensions
and approaches, the judgments collected from
respondents generated the normalized local and global
weights for approaches to implementing GSCM. The
results of priority weights determined the relative
importance of individual dimensions and approaches
and in turn recognized the points on which
organizations should put their efforts throughout the
process of GSCM implementation. In addition, the
results could represent the general status of GSCM
implementation in Taiwanese electronics enterprises.
Three sets of normalized weights had generated to
determine the importance of approaches to GSCM
implementation as shown in Table 5. The second
column is the local weights with respect to the
dimensions; the fourth and fifth columns are the local
and global weights for each approach, respectively.
The global weights of each approach have been
calculated by multiplying the local weights of each
approach by the local weights of each dimension.
