    長的通知,他進入美商 Ampex 擔任生產計劃 師,這是他人生第一個工作。隨後,他在福特 六和汽車及台灣通用器材公司擔任製造工程師 及物料協調員,這些工作讓他累積了豐富的產 業實務經驗,並發現所學的工業工程在實際工 作中具有極高的應用價值。 1979 年,正逢電子業蓬勃發展,謝炎盛 與公司幾位同事一起開始創業,由於缺乏經營 管理和市場行銷的經驗,不到 3 年就被合併掉 了。談到這次失敗的經驗,他引用孫子兵法: 「勝兵先勝而後求戰,敗兵先戰而後求勝」, 凡事必須謀定而後動,他回想起來「你能夠 避免掉這些失敗因素,你不一定會成功,但犯 了這些錯誤一定會失敗。」自己的「向失敗學 習」的經驗就是給年輕朋友最好的建言。在年 輕時失敗是划算的,因為在有限的風險下失 敗,卻能獲得長遠的寶貴經驗,避免以後更大 的錯誤。 謝炎盛認為台灣的經濟奇蹟是許多人長時 間的努力和天時地利條件結合的結果,上個世 紀六零年代台灣產業主流是化工業、紡織業等 輕工業,其次就是勞力密集的代工,幫國外加 工連結世界的產業價值與供應鏈。台灣的工業 發展與電子業演進就 是搭上這個潮流,再 加上全國同胞努力的 結果。 1984 年,謝炎盛 與昔日的安培同事共 同創立了恆業電子, 專 注 於 印 刷 電 路 板 (PCB) 的 生 產。 這 一 階段,他看到了台灣 電子業的發展潛力, 並積極把握了當時產 業環境的發展契機, 事業版圖逐漸擴大,…
