Conceptual Framework and Applications of Intelligent Interactive Orientation: Evidence from the Electronics
               Industry in Taiwan



                1. Marketing Practical Applications of Intelligent Technologies in
                                        B2B Transaction Models


                    This research first determines how respondents actually apply intelligent technologies

               to their process practices to illustrate how these processes restructured the interaction
               relationship between the two parties.


               1.1 Customer Demand and Effectiveness Confirmation

                    Suppliers regularly conduct preliminary assessments to determine the technical
               feasibility and benefit of satisfying specific demands from their customers. When facing
               multiple customers and needs, evaluating business opportunities and profit potentials
               is key, with the speed of response and accuracy of these evaluations directly affecting a

               supplier’s ability to obtain and profit from new business opportunities. Limitations on
               response time and manpower have led manufacturers to develop mechanisms such as
               modularization, regularization, and design in based on their experiences to optimize the
               quality and efficiency of their responses.



               1.2 Technical and Interactive Planning
                    Technical planning includes the continuation or adjustment of the preliminary plan
               and the dividing of the interactive plan into one-time or project-based operations. The

               communication platform (e.g., a trading or technical platform) between the two parties
               is a one-time operation but can also serve for long-term communications or information
               exchange. Project operations are planned based on customer needs to control project
               progress. As members from multiple disciplines participate in a project, the project

               interface must be pre-planned prior to project launch to facilitate the information links that
               will be needed in later execution stages.


               1.3 Verification Stage

                    Prior to formal production, the customer will verify the supply capacity, quality,
               and specifications of the manufacturer. The verification process includes doing basic
               and periodic reviews of management and production capacity, and confirming that the
               operations required prior to the start of production have been completed. Moreover, when
