Keywords: service quality, brand traits, expertise capabilities, relationship quality, customer loyalty.

ABSTRACT
The output value of Taiwan’s pharmaceutical industry in 2009 is NT$ 61.91 billion, while in the same year the National Health Insurance drug payment is amounted to NT$ 132.3 billion. Taiwan domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers who provided 70% of total drug consumption which accounted for only 25% of the total drug payment amount; in contrast, no matter their drug patent are expired or not, foreign pharmaceutical manufacturers accounted for more than 75% of total NIH drug payment amount. Over the years, due to the limited resources, Taiwan domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers can hardly achieve significant breakthrough in the pharmaceutical technology. The NIH System’s payment scheme reduces their investment motivation. Thus, the majority of them are producing generic drugs, which can not be differentiated and result in price competition. As a result, the companies who want to survive in this fierce market must actively seek to maintain good relations with customers by producing high quality products and establishing customer loyalty.
This study integrated service quality, brand traits and expertise capabilities as the independent variables to explore their impacts on relationship quality and further more on customer loyalty.
The samples were drawn from medical centers, regional hospitals, district hospitals and clinics. 377 effective respondences were collected by 80 salespersons. This study adopted Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as the statistical analysis method to test the hypotheses and examine the structural model.
The major conclusions include:
(1) The pharmaceutical manufacturers’ service quality, brand traits and expertise capabilities have a significantly positive impact on relationship quality;
(2) The relationship quality has a significantly positive impact on customer loyalty.

In audit quality, companies have lower occurrence rates of financial restatements while they hire the big 4 auditors to audit their financial statements. Furthermore, when auditors provide non-audit services to their audit clients, the higher significance of the non-audit fees is, the higher occurrence rates of the financial restatements are.

Alex K.H. Chang / Hsiu-Mei Tsai

Keywords: Guigu Zi Theory, Strategic Marketing, Game Theory

ABSTRACT
The contents of abstract in this thesis:
This thesis aims to explore the study on business strategic marketing based upon the Chapters Opening-and-Closing and Reaction by Guigu Zi as well as the combination of application of the Game Theory. The application of Sturdiness-and- Softness Method in the Chapter Opening-and-Closing by Guigu Zi with respect to pricing strategies was shown in this study. Applying the Game Theory illustrated the coordination of games for the predicament of prisoners. In the same vein, Defense- and-Management Method was employed in product strategies. In this way, the use of the Game Theory was aimed at the game of dilemma of the one-sided prisoners. In addition, the Release-and-Seizure as well as Bilateral Understanding Methods in the Chapter Reaction were capitalized on in promotion and outlet strategies. Accordingly, the application of the Game Theory was intended for welfare and beach games.
The study analyzed the key variables of success in corporation strategic marketing, and combined the theoretical inference of the western Game Theory by directing pragmatic cases into the theoretical perspectives of the ancient Chinese classical book, Guigu Zi to further prove that the elucidated perspectives in Guigu Zi theory were theoretically close to the results of this research. We, consequently, discovered that not only could these viewpoints be employed in business affairs but they, by incorporating the Game Theory, could provide an array of systematic ways to aid people in simulating analyses, developing strategies, and could be applied in business management.
