Looking back at Taiwan, except for Formosa Plastics and a small number of other companies, there are few firms capable of serving as the head and doing independent research and development. On the other hand, many large companies do their own manufacturing and assembly themselves, with no clear division of labor, so they sometimes have conflicts of interest with smaller factories.
反觀台灣，真正能做獨立研發的龍頭企業，除了台塑企業等少數幾家外，並不多見，反倒許多大公司自己也做裝配、製造，分工不明確，和小廠也時有利益衡突。
