Currently, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) brings great influence on our lives. ICT Market means in brief telecom business, telegraphic equipment, computer's hardware, software and service, audiovisual service (TV, video, movies) and consumer electronic product (audio-video equipment). As a result of the bubble of network, the development of global ICT market was at low tide at the beninning of 21st century before resuscitating in 2003. Most ICT enterprises in the protean environment consider how to adapt, so the speed of innovation is vital to the competence of enterprise.The competitive advantages of corporation lies on cost control before 1970s; it rests with quality control in 1980s and delivery time in 1990s; but early in 21st century promptitude is more crucial on the compentence, which means how to respond rapidly to and meet various demand. The reason for diverse demand is firstly that consume level improves and market becomes more unpredictable. Secondly, global economic activity promotes the national boundaries to disappear gradually. The corporation that adopt traditional business administration are passive in the unstable environment on account of responses slowly. So the concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM) that came forth in the later period of the World War II becomes more and more mature in the new competitive condition. Especially some multinational corporation achieved new competitive advantages for establishing long-term strategic league with their provider and distributer such as HP, DEC, Benetton, etc.Therefore, The competition among corporation is actually competition of Supply Chain (SC) .
