企業組織的成長和變化，可以透過生命週期 life cycle的觀點來思考。所謂生命週期，即組織的出生、成長、衰退與最後的死亡。組織結構、領導風格及管理系統，都可以透過組織生命週期的各個階段，清楚地預測。而階段是自然循序漸進發展的。在組織生命週期研究的議題上，主要是以四個階段來闡述組織發展特色。
本研究採個案研究法，以臺灣壽險業資訊服務商為研究對象，探討國內金融保險業賴以生存的壽險核心資訊系統，系統服務廠商組織生命週期之演進。以組織年齡、規模、成長率與結構為構面劃分組織生命週期，研究分析組織生命週期各階段影響因素、管理課題。輔以個案加以對照比對，與個案之競爭策略。研究發現，領導、環境、結構與策略是影響組織轉型階段的最重要因素。
過去幾年低利率、金融風暴等的影響，在央行升息、保單利差縮小與兩岸ECFA 的簽署後，是臺灣保險業成長的機會，是專精市場壽險業資訊商的契機。本文祈望透過研究分析結果，能提供臺灣資訊服務廠商在面臨組織成長轉型改變時，制定經營決策之參考與建議。
