Description
Summary:博士 === 國立交通大學 === 管理科學系所 === 93 === The research and development (R&D) system for industrial development in Taiwan is made up of three parts: industrial firms, government-supported institutes (GSIs), and academic institutes and universities. The Taiwanese experience showed that the effective interaction of the GSIs and the industrial firms has successfully supported the development of its industry. The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) played the key role in industrial development during recent decades. Currently, industrial development in Taiwan faces some difficulties, and R&D system thus is in a stage of adjustment. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of ITRI and how it plays its roles by analyzing its major tasks. And then this study proposes an extended interaction model for analyzing the interactions between R&D system and industrial environment using the Ackoff’s systems view of expansionism. The results of this study show that technological environment in Taiwan has been turning manufacturing into innovation. Being the changing of environment, R&D system has to adjust on a large scale to release its accumulating capacity in order to assist the development Taiwan industry. The implications for newly industrialized countries are also discussed.
