To understand the capability building of Taiwanese local film distributors, we studied their cooperative relationships with Hollywood majors and its influence. We explored the structure of the value chain for the Taiwanese film industry. In addition, we examined the typology of film distributors in Taiwan and analyzed the path-dependent process for the capability building of local film distributors. We used case studies and secondary data to test our theory on cooperative relationships and organizational capability.
