Integrated Circuit Enterprise Management

The IC industry has progressed rapidly for nearly 60 years. The business model of IC industry has evolved from “all in-house” to specialty focus, which means from the vertical integration model (e.g., IDM) to the specialty division model. The specialty division includes fabless design house, IC manufacturing (also known as wafer foundry), IP design and services, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), etc. Organizational structure is a system established by managers to effectively realize planning, organization, command, coordination, and control. The operation management of IC enterprises can be divided into four aspects, i.e., strategic, sales, human resources, and financial. The production management of enterprises generally includes three parts: production process management, enterprise logistics management, and enterprise quality management. Asset management is an important part of enterprise management, which is mainly divided into three parts: current asset management, fixed asset management, and intangible asset management.
