過去學者研究國際化與績效間之關係時，多將焦點置於國際化程度之探討，而較少論及廠商國際化的其他程序特性，如擴張速度或規律性。本研究嘗試綜合探討企業國際化程度、速度及韻律三者之績效意涵，驗證廠商進行國際擴張時之最適歷程特性。本研究以台灣上市上櫃製造業廠商為研究樣本，採取綜合橫斷面（929家）與縱斷面(2000-2004) (panel data)之資料進行分析。實證結果顯示，廠商國際化程度與績效間呈現先遞減、後遞增、最後再遞減的三階段S型曲線關係，最適區間為1.3至4.6家海外子公司。在海外擴張速度上，採取較慢（平均超過14年增加一家海外子公司）或較快（平均少於4年增加一家海外子公司）之國際化速度的企業，具有較佳之績效；速度趨中的國際擴張並無助於績效提升。最後，在海外市場採取規律擴張模式的廠商，其績效優於採取不規律擴張之廠商。綜合上述研究發現結果顯示：國際企業宜採取或慢、或快的擴張速度，以規律穩定之韻律步調，將國際化程度維持於最適水準區間以利其績效。本研究除彌補國際化文獻缺口外，對企業從事國際化活動亦具有重要之管理意涵。

A recent paradigm for firms to solve problems is searching boundary-spanning solutions, a process known as open innovation. Among the different types of open innovation, the coupled approach is the most typical and challenging approach. Based on the organization search theory, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of coupled open innovation and its relationship with absorptive capacity and innovation outcomes. We ask whether coupled open innovation leads to innovation and how the two dimensions of absorptive capacity - potential and realized absorptive capacity - facilitate this process to increase performance. We employ survey data, annual reports and financial data for 216 Taiwanese high-tech firms to test the research hypotheses. The results show that coupled open innovation is positively associated with incremental performance outcomes but not with radical outcomes. Regarding the role of absorptive capacity, potential absorptive capacity strengthens the positive relationship between coupled open innovation and incremental performance, while realized absorptive capacity strengthens the coupled open innovation- radical performance relationship. This study contributes to organizational search theory by connecting the dynamic capability view of absorptive capacity with open innovation research. Practical implications are also provided.
