Summary:

Written in 2004, "Millennium Transformation" documented the key turning-points of Acer from 1996 to 2004. A major focus is on 2000, when the author instigated the company's second re-engineering by splitting the manufacturing/research and branding/service businesses. The author shares his experiences, through the principles of "Change Management", and explains the background of the transition, as well as the processes of decision-making. This book illustrated, in the Second Re-engineering, how Acer adjusted the organization and re-distributed company resources, based on three main principles: Simple, Focused, and Forward-Looking. Many important subjects of business operation are investigated in-depth, including The Brand-Value Formula, Acer Value Labs, MegaMicro e-Enabling Service, Human Resources Development, Corporate Culture, Finance Management, and Corporate Governance. Meanwhile, the well-known "Stan Shih's Smiling Curve"was further explored.
