The possible existing strategic groups based on the theories of strategic groups and industry characteristics in IC assembling manufactures will be discussed and figured out. And on the basis of the differences among the strategic groups, a structure model of strategic groups, production strategy and core competence can be built to analyze core competence and strategy types among different elements of strategic groups. At last the factor analysis shows the casual relationship among customer satisfaction and strategic group, production strategy and core competence, which then can provide manufacturers to build up the core competence and to develop the competition strategy and to enhance customer satisfaction.
