物聯網的發展因為尚未有殺手級應用出現，也讓全部在產品供應鏈上的世界企業都在搶著變成標準的平台之爭。擅長於製程創新的MediaTek如何在這階段取得優勢? 適用於螞蟻大軍的山寨商業模式，在面對微型、甚至是單獨開發者類型的客戶，這樣的方式行得通嗎?
本研究會以現有的模型去探討新型的平台類型:開源硬體。平台該如何因應新型的製造方式-社群製造，進而影響物聯網的產品商用化發展，並建立自己的生態體系。本研究使用個案研究的方法去分析平台不同的開放程度所建立的路徑對於產品商用化影響。主要會從官方部落格文章和官方文件及MakerPro文章做資料收集，加上15個平台使用者的半結構式訪談資料。
研究結果指出技術已經不是最關鍵的因素了，反而是社群製造中的資源整合及生態體系建立是最重要的資產。本研究提供三個階段maker需求關鍵因素，並找出平台影響不同程度產品商用化的因素。提供物聯網的廠商以不同開放程度的策略實行，歸納出可能的因素及成功路徑。

In IoT development, suppliers in supply chain are all eager to build their own ecosystem. Companies around the world are rushing to become the standard. As an expert at process innovation, how can MediaTek advance in fluid phase of IoT development? “Shanzai model” was successful for ants’ army in obvious killer application. Does it work for the types of micro firms or even individual developer of customers?
This research explored a new type of platform raised by social production through case studies to discuss the effect of major variables on product commercialization. We collected the blog articles from “makerpro”, official documents, and official blog articles of two platforms. In addition, we used semi-structured interview to take additional data from 15 platform users.
In the research result,we found that the technology is not the most critical factor anymore. It is important to build the ecosystem with the manufacturing resource integration. In this studies, we provided the critical factors to makers in three stages and the effect on product commercialization. This model will prove factors and strategies which enterprises in ecosystem attempt to position itself along the control continuum.
