Searching The Growth Engine Of Gaas Industry

As the representative of the second generation semiconductor material, GaAs abstracts a lot of attention because of its unique physical character and broad application.With the high speed development of wireless communication, especially in last 15 years, handset application is the key driver of GaAs device industry. In the new era, how GaAs industry will develop? What is growth driver for GaAs industry?Based on researching-subject background mentioned above, combined my working experience in GaAs industry, I choose one typical GaAs device supplier TriQuint as research object. Meanwhile I Analyzed another top 2 suppliers Skyworks and RFMD operation status. Try to find the growth driver of GaAs industry and propose a competitive strategy for TriQuint.Chapter 1 is the start of thesis, which is a summary of the researching background, meanings, methods used, logics and innovations.Chapter 2 is a brief summary of Semiconductor material; try to present semiconductor industry background to readers.Chapter 3 focus on TriQuint company history and current operation status.Chapter 4 is key part of the thesis, we studied the fiscal report of 3 companies, try to find the growth engine according to market trend.Chapter 5 is proposal to TriQuint, we bring in competitive strategy analysis of Michael E. Porter. How to be a great company? After analysis we think TriQuint needs to do:Do not focus on competitors' behavior too much, TriQuint should focus on customer demand, value added to the whole industry.TriQuint should go in for the success of Strategy management while not the success by accident. The success of strategy management relies on core competency and continued process improvement.
