| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 企業管理學系碩博士班 === 91 === In the past two decades, HsinChu Science-Based Industrial Park (HSIP) has been the key position gathering High-tech industries, and the base of innovations in Taiwan. Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park (TSIP), which extends the successful experience of HSIP, was established for promoting industrial upgrades and balancing region development. Although the significant importance of science-based industrial parks for economic growth and firm development, little has been done in the literature in examining the relationships among the industry level determinants, firm level determinants, state’s policy level determinants, competitive advantages and performance of the firms. Therefore, this study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by providing an integrative research framework through extensive literature review to identify the key determinants and to examine the relationships among these determinants, the competitive advantages and performance of firms in HISP and TSIP. Based on ecology theory, resource-based theory, and resource dependence theory, hypotheses were proposed and then examined through an empirical study.
The population in this study is all the firms of HSIP and TSIP, 337 and 95 respectively. 432 questionnaires were mailed. Of the 432 questionnaires mailed, 82 responses were received and two of them were incomplete. The remaining 80 valid and complete questionnaires were used for the quantitative analysis. It represents a useable response rate of 18.52%.
The major findings of this study include: First, the results of the regression and ANOVA analyses show support for the direct effects of industry development and firms’ innovative capability on the competitive advantage of firms in science-based industrial parks. Secondly, the results of ANOVA analyses indicate that state’s science and technology policy and firms’ innovative capability have strong interaction effects on the competitive advantage of firms in science-based industrial parks. Third, the results of the regression and ANOVA analyses show support for the direct effects of industry development and firms’ competitive advantage on the performance of firms in science-based industrial parks. Finally, the results of ANOVA analyses indicate that state’s science and technology policy and firms’ competitive advantage have strong interaction effects on the performance of firms in Science-Based industrial Parks.
