| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 管理學院碩士在職專班科技管理組 === 94 === During 1993 to 1997, UMC spun off its own research & design departments to form independent companies, including MediaTek, Novatek, ITE, AMIC and Davicom. In line with industry trends and to maintain its competitive edge, after acquired by UMC in 1998, Holtek Semiconductor concentrated its efforts in the field of IC design and transformed itself as a fabless provider of microcontrollers.
Using the CCR, BCC, A&P, and D&G models of the DEA (Data Envelope Analysis) methodology, this research compared the operating performances of IC Design Spin-offs of UMC: Mediatek, Novatek, ITE and Holtek, over the years from 2000 to 2004. The DEA methodology can compare the relative operating efficiency of these four companies based on multiple operating performance outputs with respect to multiple resource inputs. Three input parameters considered in this study were R&D expenses, depreciation, and number of employees with Master’s degree or PhD. Net Income is used as a measure of the financial outcome, and the number of patents is used as a measure of the technical accomplishment. The two output parameters were analyzed by DEA together to demonstrate the ranking of the joint output efficiencies of the four companies. The two output parameters were also analyzed separately to compare only the financial efficiency and only the technical efficiency of the four companies.
