This paper aims to explore the innovation capacity in two different science parks across the Taiwan Strait. In both Taiwan and China considerable resources are being devoted to science parks as policy instruments aimed at promoting R&D-based as well as innovation activities. For this study, we chose the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park (ZJHP) of China and the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP) of Taiwan to compare innovation capacity. Based on Porter's (The Competitive Advantage of Nations, Free Press, New York, 1990; Cluster and Competition: New Agendas for Companies, Governments, and Institutions, on Competition, Harvard Business School Press, Boston, MA, 1998; Econ. Develop. Quart. 14 (1990, 1998, 2000) 15) model for the innovation orientation of national industrial cluster, this paper proposes a model to analyze the science parks in innovation capacity across the Taiwan Strait. We found differences in determinants for innovation capacity between the ZJHP and HISP, such as the "basic research infrastructure", "sophisticated and demanding local customer base", and "the presence of clusters instead of isolated industries".

Forecasting the production of technology industries is important to entrepreneurs and governments, but usually suffers from market fluctuation and explosion. This paper aims to propose a Litterman Bayesian vector autoregression (LBVAR) model for production prediction based on the interaction of industrial clusters. Related industries within industrial clusters are included into the LBVAR model to provide more accurate predictions. The LBVAR model possesses the superiority of Bayesian statistics in small sample forecasting and holds the dynamic property of the vector autoregression (VAR) model. Two technology industries in Taiwan, the photonics industry and semiconductor industry are used to examine the LBVAR model using a rolling forecasting procedure. As a result, the LBVAR model was found to be capable of providing outstanding predictions for these two technology industries in comparison to the autoregression (AR) model and VAR model.

This article aims to explore the interaction between incubators and industrial clusters, which is an important linkage for local development but has not been analyzed in the literature. A model is proposed to describe this interaction. The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Incubator within the Hsinchu industrial cluster,. the core of Taiwan's technology industries, is considered to be an empirical cage. This case is investigated with the proposed model and methods including data analysis, in-depth interviews, manager surveys and stakeholder analysis. It was found that the clustering effect in the Hsinchu industrial cluster is a main factor in the ITRI Incubator's development. The ITRI Incubator in turn reinforces the cluster in some aspects as feedback. This result confirms the existence and importance of this interaction in local development. It is recommended that government officials and incubator managers take account of this interaction in operating an incubator program and utilize the proposed model to analyze the incubator's contributions to its industrial cluster.

Selection of government-sponsored frontier R&D projects is made difficult by the coexistence of the conflicting participating parties, the availability of experts for new frontier technology review, and the ambiguity of new frontier technology. This paper presents a model that includes (1) using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to integrate various expectations from different interest groups into evaluating objectives/criteria, (2) the group-decision method by technical experts based on the predetermined objectives/criteria, and (3) the fuzzy approach in scoring the subjective judgments of the experts. The results reveal that differences of weights toward each criterion exist among various groups. The government and academia care more about social benefits, the researchers are more concerned about intellectual properties, and the experts from industry emphasize the importance of feasibility. The method presented in this paper was applied at a national research institute in Taiwan. The results reveal that: (1) the approach can solve the disparity between the profound knowledge required for evaluation and the different expectation from various interest groups, (2) the fuzzy approach is suitable to frontier technology R&D project selection because of the vagueness of the nature of frontier technology and the difficulties in evaluating quantitatively and accurately.

Innovation is a prerequisite for every nation and business facing the emergence of a knowledge-based economy and globalization. For small and medium firms in developing countries with limited resources and relatively low national advantage innovation is much more difficult. Government innovation policy, stemming from three sides - supply, demand, and environment, has been shown to play a major role in assisting firms to conduct innovation activities, especially in developing countries. This paper first summarizes recent tends and issues relevant to Taiwan's innovation structure and policy. Then, considering the present situation of Taiwan, analyzes the effect of government policy and current problems. Recommendations are presented systematically, based upon innovation policy.

This research explores the contribution of policy tool toward the formation of Taiwanese biotechnology firms. The effect of technological policy for the formation of new biotechnology firms (NBFs) is complicated by the fact that biotechnology is new, and its development raises issues where there is a great deal of uncertainty. This research involved the evaluation of policy tools on the formation of NBFs and was based on a combination of fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making method (MMM) and interviews with key actors in the field. The focus of this paper is how the users, biofirms, and venture capitalists perceive the contribution of policy tools toward the formation of NTFs. The evaluating hierarchy toward the formation of NBFs shows that two user groups perceive differently. Venture capitalists emphasize the importance of factors relating to technology and human resources, while biofirm groups emphasize those relating to market. The results of the evaluation reveal that: First, policy tools relating to technology and human capital are currently the main focus in Taiwan. a focus consistent with the perception of venture capitalists. However, from the perspective of biofirms, there are mismatches. Second. policy tools contribute to the formation of NBFs in different ways. Some contribute more widely across the criteria. while some are more specific. Third. the ranking of eight policy tools indicates that the role of public research institutes in economic development has become more sophisticated. Not only are they the source of initial capabilities of emerging firms. they are also important actors in industrial innovation. especially fora knowledge-intensive, industry-like biotechnology.

This essay reports on a development of a comprehensive model for analyzing the effectiveness of government innovation policy for industrial technology development, particularly for developing regions. This model intends to characterize Taiwan's Regional Innovation System (RIS) and Industrial Innovation System (IIS), and the industrial portfolio. While the RIS and IIS systems were crafted to identify the critical relationships between the RIS and industry's key success factors (KSFs) that contribute to firm's competitiveness and economic growth, the model of industrial portfolio was aimed to characterize Taiwan's industrial structure. This model provides the government with a systemic thinking that helps policymakers formulate a group of optimized policies that match the true demand of the industry. The RIS model integrates five relevant theories, namely, Porter's Regional Diamond System, Freeman's "Regional Innovation System", Carlsson's "Technological System", Rothwell and Zegveld's "Instruments of Assessing Innovation Policy", and the concepts of the Regional Industrial Portfolio and the critical success factors in industrial competition. This model assumes that, for developing regions, there are three key elements in the RIS, namely, government policy instruments, regional technological systems, and regional innovation environment. While Porter's. National Diamond System is chosen to represent regional innovation environment, Carlsson's "Technological System" is used to diagnose the effectiveness of the regional capability of technological system. The function of the government policy is to act as a facilitator and promoter to strengthen the Diamond and the technological systems. It is also assumed that the RIS is the predominant component that nurtures and promotes firm's competitiveness, leading to economic growth in the global market. For the model of regional industrial portfolio the work aims at constructing a model, for analyzing region's industrial structure, especially for developing regions. Traditional concepts of competitive advantage emphasize the important factors that affect its regional innovation environment, and thus competitiveness. Nevertheless, this study argues that, for developing regions, governments' supports should be based on the life cycle stages and technology capabilities of the firms in the industry, and the best policy practices should be designed in such a way that matches the region's capability and operating environment for innovation. This model was then used to study the Integrated Circuit (IC) industry. of Taiwan. The results show that there is interdependence among technological system, regional environment, KSFs, and industrial portfolio of the industry. The successfulness of the industrial development depends on the strengths of firm's KSFs, which in turn are determined by both government's innovation policy and industrial innovation system; or Taiwan's RIS. Those innovation. policies those that help nurture industry's positioning and associated KSFs for "Operational Excellence" and "Customer Intimacy", and strengthen the RIS, are the major contributors to the successfulness of industrial development.
