There is a demand for specialization in many industries, and there is more demand for specialization in semiconductor industry due to financial issue and heavy risk. As semiconductor business needs huge equipments for manufacturing, so it is not easy to be competitive for semiconductor company by doing all the processes of design, manufacturing and packaging in one company. The purpose of this study is to verify whether TSMC's resources were critical for their global business success. TSMC has specialized in foundry business, still ranked No.1 in global Foundry market. The article suggested four resources (alliance, human capital, AMT, international experience) to analyze TSMC's success. Finally, the paper explained the case of TSMC based on their activities and related materials, and suggested 4 resources were really helpful for their global business success. Furthermore, this case study of TSMC can help foundries to develop their competitiveness as many foundries still remained in primitive stage.
