This article investigates how institutional changes facilitate university-centric interactions from the Triple Helix model of innovation perspective. The Triple Helix research framework consists of three cyclical dimensions, namely government institutional changes, the roles, missions, and interactions of universities, and university-centric networks. By developing a triangulation method, the qualitative dataset of the Taiwanese institutional changes includes science and technology, educational, and industrial policies; the quantitative dataset (1986–2015) collects the patents of Taiwanese universities via the US Patent and Trademark Office database. The results reveal that integrated policies systemically facilitate institutional changes that drive the transition of university’s roles and missions, while the university-centric networks have transformed from isolated to loosely-coupled and ultimately, to densely interactive networks. This article concludes that government institutional changes have effectively transformed the roles and interactions of universities with other actors towards entrepreneurial universities, in turn, have facilitated a more interactive Triple Helix model of innovation in Taiwan. Some policy implications are suggested.

PurposeThe paper proposes customer involvement can be considered an organization-level construct of knowledge creation in the new process development. Specifically, the paper evaluates three distinct organizational practices as knowledge antecedents – competitor orientation, social network and internal coordination – that can facilitate the adoption of customer involvement in the process innovation development.Design/methodology/approachThe paper empirically tests this theory for 2,000 firms that are stratification sampled from a population of 33,844 Taiwanese firms, and a data set of 170 valid questionnaires is collected. The questionnaire was mainly modified from a Kim and Kim (2010) measure which was designed based on the 3rd edition of the Oslo Manual OECD/Eurostat 2005. The concept of customer involvement in new service development proposed by Alam (2002) was also applied to the questionnaire.Findings(1) The antecedents of customer involvement, which include competitor orientation, external social networks and internal coordination, function as a determinant to nourish customer involvement. (2) Customer involvement significantly positively mediates the relationship between knowledge antecedents and new process performance. (3) Customer involvement is a crucial knowledge creation for improving the new process innovation performance in manufacturing firms.Originality/valueTwo basic tenets of theory building serve as the foundation of the model in this paper. First, research on customer involvement is augmented by showing that customer involvement can emerge as a shared perception among organizational members that is distinct from individual-level involvement. Moreover, customer involvement in process innovation can help firms manage their knowledge and further enhance firm performance. Second, the knowledge management model provides a key lens through which researchers can take a process-oriented view that focuses on customer involvement as a unique capability that firms can develop in process innovation.

This study conceptualizes and empirically investigates how dimensions of public service motivation affect perceived citizenship behaviour in the context of government-owned utilities. This study used a large-scale questionnaire survey from four utility sectors in Taiwan (N = 1,087). The emergent model suggests that compassion (COM) and self-sacrifice (SS) affect the perceived effectiveness of individual-level Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Commitment to the Public Interest (CPI) and Attraction to Public Policy making (APP) affect perceived effectiveness of OCB at the group and organisational levels, respectively. The results support the expected contribution of OCB, from the individual to the group levels, and from the group level to the organisational level. Public utility managers should strive to improve employee attitudes and motivation towards greater levels of OCB.

By suppressing mineralization and preventing ectopic calcium deposits, osteopontin (OPN) has an inhibitory effect on vascular calcification. Also, there is an association between OPN and aortic stiffness (AS). We aimed to investigate the association between serum OPN levels and AS measured by carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in hypertensive patients. Baseline characteristics and fasting blood sampling of 120 participants with hypertension and 120 participants without hypertension were acquired. Serum OPN concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In total, 43 (35.9%) participants were assigned to the AS group with cfPWV of >10 m/s in hypertensive patients. There were more patients with diabetes mellitus, old age, high systolic blood pressure, high serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), elevated C-reactive protein, and high OPN levels in the AS group compared with the control group in hypertensive participants. A multivariate logistic regression analysis discloses that age, SBP, serum OPN, and iPTH levels were independently associated with AS in hypertensive patients. Moreover, according to a multivariate forward stepwise linear regression analysis, OPN level is positively associated with cfPWV. In conclusion, serum OPN level is assumed to be a potential biomarker to predict AS and is positively associated with cfPWV in patients with hypertension.

This paper examines how well five benchmarks of regulatory governance predict and promote the idea of sound regulation in the East Asia and Pacific region, by analysing survey data collected from employees of telecommunications regulatory agencies in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, China, and Malaysia. This study finds that regulators across the six countries prioritise different benchmarks of regulatory governance in advancing regulatory performance or quality, and suggests that the concept of sound regulation might differ between East and West, given their distinct socio-economic, political, and cultural context. This study also provides insights into regulatory constructs and practices.

In recent years, with the continuous development of Internet technology and the deepening of economic globalization, cross-border e-commerce has become a new international trade model and an important growth point of foreign trade. With the popularity of international trade, domestic consumers have a deeper understanding of foreign products and brands and willingness to purchase, but at this stage, cross-border e-commerce transactions are not as close to domestic online shopping, and a few have business opportunities. PortUnity is the first among overseas consumers and some avant-garde consumers with a sense of consumption. Most people have not yet reached real cross-border e-commerce, so cross-border e-commerce has broad development potential on a global scale. As a high-tech field, cross-border e-commerce has few relevant theories and literature. Therefore, this article aims to explore the influencing factors of consumer purchase intention of cross-border e-commerce based on a wireless network and machine learning and to provide decision support for the management and operation of e-commerce in order to promote the better development of cross-border e-commerce. This article analyzes the influencing factors of consumers' intention in cross-border e-commerce shopping by combining literature research and empirical research. With the support of wireless networks and machine learning, perceptual-based ease of use and perceived usefulness of the original TAM, the individual influencing factors of cross-border e-commerce consumers' purchase intention and e-commerce platform factors are summarized according to the characteristics and technology acceptance model of cross-border e-commerce. In this questionnaire survey, the author fully explored the survey value of each respondent, and all the 100 questionnaires were successfully recovered, with a 100% utilization rate of data. The research results of this article show that in addition to the originally perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, consumers' income level, education level, age, gender, service, safety index and price of cross-border e-commerce platform, and other factors also affect the cross-border consumption frequency of consumers.

- Abstract
A 20-year-old man presented at our clinic with a primary complaint of irregular dentition and reverse bite. Clinical examination revealed skeletal Class III malocclusion with an anterior crossbite and a completely blocked #25 in the maxilla. Because he refused to receive orthognathic surgery and experienced only mild functional interference, a nonextraction treatment method was adopted. Space creation on the left upper arch was successfully performed using an open coil spring for molar distalization and the improved super-elastic Ti–Ni alloy wire (ISW) Multi-bends Edgewise Arch Wire (MEAW) technique. Furthermore, #25 was aligned completely. The Class III malocclusion was corrected using the ISW MEAW technique combined with Class III elastics on the lower arch. Treatment was completed in approximately 16 months and a satisfactory occlusion was achieved after active treatment.

Purpose Cognition, conflict and cohesion constitute an inseparable body of group dynamics in entrepreneurial teams. There have been few studies of how entrepreneurial team members interact with each other to enhance venture performance. The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a model that explains the trinity of cognition, conflict and cohesion in terms of social interaction between entrepreneurial team members. Design/methodology/approach Drawing upon the existing literature concerning entrepreneurial teams, the hypothesized model posits that shared cognition influences team cohesion through the mediating effects of intra-team conflicts. The model also postulates that team cohesion is positively associated with new venture performance and entrepreneurial satisfaction. Structural equation modeling is used to test the hypothesized model, using data that were collected from 203 entrepreneurial teams from technology-based companies in Taiwan. Findings The results show that shared cognition in entrepreneurial team members maintains team cohesion by restraining conflict and that team cohesion has a positive influence on entrepreneurial members’ satisfaction and new venture profitability. Practical implications The leader of a new venture team must endeavor to improve shared cognition between entrepreneurial members. To strengthen shared cognition, the leader can hold formal workshops to build consensus, informal meetings to share views, or use social media to enhance common understanding. Originality/value This paper verifies the connections between shared cognition, conflicts and cohesion in entrepreneurial teams in predicting new venture success and highlights the importance of cultivating a shared cognition in an entrepreneurial team to manage conflicts.

The research and development (R&D) activities are critical to firms' growth, but previous studies provide fewer holistic evidences of aligning corporate strategies with R&D strategies. This study is to investigate how to align corporate strategies with R&D strategies that transform an internationalized company. Moreover, this study also investigated that how companies build up their technical capability to transform from a private domestic company to a public and global corporation. Longitudinal study is applied to the world largest, global bicycle company by tracking its history from the beginning establishment to present achievement. Interviews with CTO and internal documentation are used to analyze the alignment between the corporate strategies and R&D strategies. The results indicate that the co-evolution between corporate strategies and R&D strategies conduces to the process of firms' R&D internationalization. The process of internationalization of this bicycle company provides a referable model for companies who are searching for the way to transform their R&D organizations for the future. The evidences also provide some implications to OEM, ODM, OBM, and R&D transformation in different stages of industrial development of Taiwan.

The paper extends a notion of service regime framework as a synthesis approach to understand the diversity of innovation patterns in service firms. The service regime framework consists of three dimensions: innovation trajectories, appropriability, and user involvement. A dataset of leading top 311 Taiwanese service firms is collected through the postal questionnaire survey. The results reveal three newly stylized patterns of innovation in service firms: coupling innovation trajectories, joint use of formal and informal appropriability, and intimate user involvement. Moreover, four clusters following the firm-specific assumption to characterize heterogeneous compositions of the service regime are identified. The paper concludes that the service regime framework plays a major role in distinguishing specific service innovation clusters among firms and sectors. Finally, some policy implications for promoting service innovations are provided.

This paper develops the notion of research ambidexterity (RA) in the context of the entrepreneurial universities. Two levels of research ambidexterity are elaborated – departmental and individual. The putative multilevel relationships between university’s antecedents, departmental/individual research ambidexterity and commercial performance are examined. On the basis of a postal questionnaire survey, a dataset of 634 faculty members, 99 departments, and six universities is collected. The results of regressions suggest that both levels of RA facilitate departmental and individual commercial performance, respectively. Moreover, there exist multilevel positive relationships between university organizational flexibility, departmental RA, and individual RA and opportunity exploitation. The paper concludes that the development of RA in entrepreneurial universities should be considered as multilevel relationships between universities, departments and individuals.

The paper extends Teece’s model of dynamic capabilities (2007) into four types of capabilities: sensing, coordination, autonomy and reconfiguration capabilities. We further develop a structural model between four types of dynamic capabilities and radical innovation performance (RIP) in established firms. Based on a dataset of top 500 manufacturing established firms in Taiwan, the proposed hypotheses are tested using the structural equation models. The results reveal that four types of dynamic capabilities and RIP are positively correlated in a sequential and structural manner. This paper concludes the systemic development of dynamic capabilities can improve RIP in established firms. Finally, we point out some managerial implications for improving RIP in established firms.

The increasing competition in knowledge-intensive economy has made it even more important for technological companies to understand what determines employee creativity since it is a major source for corporate innovation. Research has indicated that individual attribute substantially determines employee creativity, but only few empirical studies have incorporated the influence of contextual factors by taking an interactionist perspective. To extend the current understanding of creativity in technological companies, this study examines the relationship between individual dispositions (innovative cognitive style and proactive personality) and employee creativity, and the moderating role of two critical working conditions (work discretion and time pressure). Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the proposed hypotheses for a sample of 344 middle-level managers in Taiwanese manufacturing companies, including R&D managers and marketing managers. Middle managers were chosen as representative sample of company employees because their tasks in both departments of a large manufacturing company are relatively creativity-intensive in nature, compared to ordinary employees or managers in other logistics-oriented divisions. Results reveal that work discretion strengthens the effect of proactive personality on creativity whereas time pressure weakens the effect of innovative cognitive style on creativity. This paper contributes to the literature by disentangling the extant gaps among creativity theories and emphasizing the importance of individual-context fit to creativity in work settings.

Though previous research has highlighted how important it is for middle managers to contribute to corporate entrepreneurship, little work has been done to explore how they produce creative performance by examining the direct, curvilinear and moderating effects of their entrepreneurial orientation and social networks. A total of 337 middle managers conducting marketing, R&D and project management in Taiwan are studied. The results suggest that middle managers' disposition towards proactiveness and innovativeness is positively related to their creative performance, and their internal bonding networks and upper management networks are found to strengthen the effects of entrepreneurial orientation on creative performance. However, middle managers' external bridging networks are found to have an inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship with their creative performance, and to weaken the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on creative performance. These findings echo the interactionist perspective of creativity, implying that middle managers should manage their social networks more carefully, as social interaction with network actors may either facilitate or inhibit their creativity at work.

With the rise of internationalization and rapid industrial transformation, the maintenance of regional innovation and entrepreneurship has become an important issue, in the strategic planning of science parks. However, the measurement and prioritization of regional innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities has been largely neglected. Having reviewed four theoretical building blocks: (1) creative class, (2) intellectual capital, (3) regional innovation systems, and (4) industrial clusters, this paper develops an integrated FIEC framework, with four dimensions (financing, innovation and cluster, entrepreneurship and culture) and 15 indicators to measure regional innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities. Based on a dataset of 46 completed questionnaires, an overall 46% response rate, these dimensions and indicators were prioritized using AHP (analytic hierarchy process) analysis. The results show that: (1) the innovation and cluster dimension is the most important of the four dimensions; (2) the top three indicators “Completeness of upstream–downstream industries”, “Assistance of incubators” and “Abundance talent pools” are the most important of the 15 indicators; (3) within each dimension, “abundance of venture capital” is the most important indicator in the financing dimension, “completeness of upstream–downstream industries” is the most important indicator in the innovation and cluster dimension, “assistance of incubators” is the most important indicator in the entrepreneurship dimension and “self-employed culture” is the most important indicator in the regional culture dimension. These results show the importance of maintaining healthy regional innovation capabilities, for Science Park Administrations, on the island of Taiwan and elsewhere.

The paper examines the impact of the Science and Technology Basic Law (STBL) enactment of 1999 on the transformation of public sector research (PSR) in Taiwan. The paper proposes a research framework to assess the changes on PSR mainly through four dimensions: (1) new infrastructure build-up, (2) industrial research links, (3) patenting and licensing, and (4) industrial education/training. Nine research hypotheses are developed. Based on the survey data of 107 PSR establishments, the paper reveals that Taiwan PSR has experienced a burgeoning infrastructure build-up and a more active partnership with industry in the post-STBL period. However, the paper argues that the scientific–economic transformation of PSR in Taiwan tends to develop better “industrial collaborative research and training capabilities” than “patenting and licensing capabilities” in the preliminary post-STBL period. The divergence on patenting, licensing and partnership capabilities still persists between experienced PSREs and non-experienced ones, suggesting a learning effect. These findings provide crucial policy implications to delineate appropriate roles of PSR in the new scientific–economic regime.

Aiming to establish Taiwan as a global R&D hub, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan, initiated a national R&D programme entitled: ‘Programme to Encourage Multinational Enterprises to Set up Innovative R&D Centres in Taiwan’ in 2002. The programme aims to overcome drawbacks of the innovation system in Taiwan with overemphasis on incremental and development-focused R&D. However, the impacts of the programme have not been carefully evaluated. This article deployed an integrated framework to assess the impact of the programme on the innovation system in Taiwan, especially in the national level. Using the Delphi survey, the article collects experts' opinions on the appropriateness, effectiveness, and future strategy of the programme. The experts suggest that providing greater financial support to more risky and pre-competitive MNE R&D projects and enhancing MNE R&D centre-domestic firm collaborative research are the top priorities in the future funding policy.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the strategic technology outsourcing of corporate ventures from an integrated perspective.Design/methodology/approach – The proposed model argues that technology sourcing modes are jointly determined by the technological regime, industry‐specific factors and resource‐based view (RBV), as well as firm‐specific factors. Four Taiwanese top publicly traded pharmaceutical companies dedicated to biotechnology are studied.Findings – This paper demonstrates that firms most likely to outsource technology are characterized by the following technological regime factors: reliant on external sources of innovation, tight IPR protection, path independent from the existing technology trajectory, less complexity, easy to codify and having resource‐based (RB) factors: irrelevant to the core competence, weak complementary assets, and autonomous innovation.Practical implications – Current approaches generally focus on technology sourcing with a single strategic theory.

This paper empirically examines the relationship between research commercialization, entrepreneurial commitment, and knowledge production and diffusion in academia. Through a dataset of 229 academic patent inventors, this paper reveals that the effects of research commercialization on publication quantity, application-oriented research, and disclosure delay are moderated by the entrepreneurial commitment of faculty members. This paper concludes that encouraging entrepreneurial commitment of faculty members may possibly drive academics away from their traditional approaches in producing and diffusing knowledge.

This paper examined the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and research commercialization in universities. The paper develops two types of organizational ambidexterity: structural ambidexterity and contextual ambidexterity that influence research commercialization. Through a dataset of 474 academic patent inventors in Taiwan, the results revealed structural and contextual ambidexterity factors are patenting-, licensing- and start-up-specific. Despite both types of ambidexterity are complementary in patenting and licensing, contextual ambidexterity outperform structural ambidexterity in fostering university start-up equity participation. To promote academic research commercialization, it is necessary to build up a university as a dual structural organization that allows pursuing research excellence and research commercialization at the same time.

This paper empirically examines the emerging anti-commons effect of academic patenting and licensing on knowledge production and diffusion in Taiwan. Through a dataset of 229 Taiwanese academic patent inventors, the results reveal that the anti-commons effect is not significant as expected. However, this effect has becomes more vivid in application-oriented research and disclosure delay while academic patent inventors have involved more in licensing activities. Programs to encourage academic licensing should be aware of the side effects on academic knowledge production and diffusion.

The existing research contributes to our understanding about the value of social capital in a wide range of social science disciplines; however, it does not well address the role of social capital in creativity for research and development (R&D) project teams in a given context. Using a sample of 54 R&D project teams in high-technology firms of Taiwan, we examined the impacts of social capital on creativity of R&D project teams from an intra-team perspective. Results of factor analysis revealed four factors extracted from the concept of social capital, namely social interaction, network ties, mutual trust, and shared goals. Findings suggested that social interaction and network ties had significant and positive impacts on creativity of R&D project teams, but mutual trust and shared goals did not. Managerial implications for managing social capital in R&D project teams are discussed.

Since the passage of the Science and Technology Basic Law in 1999, Taiwanese universities have taken a more “scientific–economic” approach to protect and commercialize their research. This research mainly examines innovation activities such as patenting, licensing, and incubated startups in the context of Taiwanese higher education institutions (HEIs). The “scientific–economic” framework used to analyze the strategic aspects influencing these academic innovations includes (1) intellectual property managerial capabilities, (2) the strength of external industrial partnerships, (3) the university entrepreneurial orientation, and (4) government research policy. Four hypotheses were developed. Data were collected via a questionnaire with all 122 HEIs in Taiwan surveyed. The research reveals that the aspects of intellectual property managerial capability, HEI–industry partnerships, and academic entrepreneurial orientation are useful to distinguish the university's innovation performance on patent grants, licensing incomes, and firm incubation. Also, government support on research plays a moderating role in academic innovation. Managerial and policy implications for managing innovation effectively in universities were drawn.

Although academic research institutions have become a major player in protecting, transferring, and commercializing their knowledge base, little research has examined in enterprising research results from the angle of academic entrepreneurs. This paper examined the factors fostering academic entrepreneurship from institutional, organizational, and individual aspects, especially in Taiwan. Based on the Patent Database of the National Science Council, Taiwan, 474 academic entrepreneurs who owned patents were identified. Via a postal survey, 229 questionnaires were collected with an overall. response rate of 48%. Through factor analysis, five key success factors fostering academic entrepreneurship were identified. The key success factors to foster academic entrepreneurship in Taiwan include entrepreneurial network, organizational infrastructures, entrepreneurial legitimacy, entrepreneurial pro-activeness, and entrepreneurial rewards. Thus, the paper concluded that nurturing academic entrepreneurship in Taiwan is evidently shaped by not only micro factors such as entrepreneurial networks and characteristics but also macro factors such as entrepreneurial infrastructures and rewards from universities and increasing legitimacy of academic entrepreneurship.

This research focuses on examining the dynamics of task and interpersonal conflict related to the creativity of teams over five stages of a project's life cycle. Data were collected from 142 respondents of information system development project teams of a service‐driven type, and from 106 respondents of new product development teams of a technology‐driven type. Results indicate that interpersonal conflict has a negative impact on creativity for a service‐driven project team. However, task conflict has a positive impact on creativity for a technology‐driven project team. The findings suggest that managing different types of project teams necessitates concern with the variations of conflict and creativity over a project's life cycle.

This paper identifies and compares three existing systems of innovation approaches, namely, the national system of innovation approach, the technological/sectoral system of innovation approach, and the regional system of innovation approach. By focusing the analysis on knowledge, the research scope, unit of analysis, and analytical frameworks applied by each approach are analyzed and synthesized. The paper reveals that the three approaches claim their major knowledge links, facilitating factors, and boundaries differently. Although three methods have emerged in mapping systems of innovation, these methods provide complementary views, rather than substitutive ones, for constructing a complete configuration of an innovation system. Four methodological problems exist: inconsistent definition of innovation, top-down orientation, independence among innovation systems, and ex-post qualitative analysis. Finally, further methodological issues regarding systems of innovation studies are suggested.

The synthesis, characterization, and mesomorphic properties of a new type of heteronuclear compounds derived from pyrimidine as core group are reported. These compounds were prepared by condensation reactions of appropriate acetophenones and benzonitriles in the presence of trifluoromethanesulphonic anhydride. They were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and their phase transitions characterized and studied by thermal analysis and polarizating microscopy. These compounds exhibit hexagonal columnar (Colh) phases, as expected for disk-like molecules; the formation of columnar phases was found to be dependent on the numbers of alkoxy side chains attached. For those compounds having the same numbers of flexible side chains attached, the one with a preferred unsymmetric structure exhibited better mesomorphic properties. The observed improved mesomorphic behaviour of these compounds over other similar all-carbon heterocyclic compounds is attributed to the greater polarization o...

Customer involvement has been recognized as an importance to facilitate service innovation. However, little study shows how customer involvement enhances the innovation performance and how service firms use appropriability to leverage its innovation performance. Through a postal questionnaire exercise, this paper investigates 311 samples out of 1,103 top Taiwanese service firms. Four main research hypotheses are developed to test among all variables and regression models are further applied. The result reveals that: 1) intensity of customer involvement is positively related to its innovation performance. 2) the formal appropriable mechanism is positively related to its innovation performance. 3) The firm's appropriability as a moderating effect determines the relationship between customer involvement and its innovation performance. The paper concludes that customer involvement can be viewed as a combination of innovation commitments to successfully enhance innovation performance. A service firm with innovation protection mechanisms may focus on considerable high intensity of customer involvement while developing new products. Finally, some managerial implications to improve service innovation are offered.

The concept of service regime is developed to extend and test Miozzo and Soete's service taxonomy. Derived from the synthesis approach of service innovation, the service regime considers sources of innovation, innovation trajectories, and appropriability. Hypotheses on firm patterns of innovation are tested on a dataset of 5711 Taiwanese service firms. We find that service firms have patterns of innovation that are best described as loosely coupled systems with diversified sources of innovation, multiple innovation trajectories, and jointly appropriable mechanisms. The use of Service Regime provides a framework that offers deeper insights into non-technological innovation trajectories and informal appropriation mechanisms for different types of service firms. In doing so, useful insights are offered to managers of service firms and a more complete theoretical model of the nature of innovation in different types of service firms is offered

For last few decades, we have witnessed that the R&D workers have increasingly become more ambidextrous, that is, seeking both for efficiency and for innovation and growth. However, how High-tech industries strategically integrate both exploitation and exploration activities are still understudied. Based on the strategic management, idea search and generation, implementation and organizational design, the thesis develops a notion of innovation ambidexterity (IA) and elaborates IA into three dimensions: strategy, openness and innovativeness ambidexterity. An instrument of IA is developed to collect 52 R&D managers and 455 staffs. Regressions are deployed to test these hypotheses. The results support that the IA and consequences. The thesis confirms that IA plays a crucial role in strategically integrating, information searching and innovative activities. Some managerial implications to diagnose and to develop a integrate IA in high-technology industry are suggested.

This chapter examines the notion of national intellectual capital, which could bring new insights to the existing national science and technology policy thinking. This notion leads that the chapter proposes a framework to measure national intellectual capital, and the investigation based on the framework was applied in Panama. The results revealed that the Panamanian intellectual capital faces the decreasing supply of human capital in S&T field, the service-dominant market capital, weaker and less indigenous innovation capital, and a steady increase of process capital. Some intellectual capital policy implications are drawn for Panama and other developing countries.

This chapter examines a comprehensive list of intellectual capital (IC)-related indicators for developing corporate R&D capabilities along the input-process-result (IPR) processes. Via factor analysis, 43 R&D related IC indicators were abstracted into 11 factors. Corporate R&D managers prioritized these IC factors by completing analytical hierarchy process (AHP) questionnaires. The results of AHP are as follows: (1) the result phase is the pivotal of developing corporate R&D capabilities in three phases, (2) the top three weighting factors are the relational and process capitals (cost effectiveness to customers) in the result phase, followed by organizational capital (strategy fitness) in the input phase, and human capital (competency of R&D personnel) in the input phase; (3) strategy fitness in the input phase, project execution capability in the process phase; and cost effectiveness to customers in the result phase is the most crucial IC capabilities. Some discussions and conclusions were drawn.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) highlights the integration of the best research evidences, clinical expertise and patient values into the practice of patient care. Thus EBM realization is receiving substantial attention. However, there were rare studies exploring the modulating effects within EBM realization. This study is to discover the deeper meanings of users' experiences towards interacting with an EBM system. The participant observation and in-depth interview are mainly used as methods of data collection. The interview transcripts are analyzed based on the techniques of grounded theory. Based on service innovation model we induce 14 modulators from the users' viewpoints. Furthermore, we develop eight propositions that can provide management guidelines in EBM realization for hospital managers.

- Abstract
Drawing on data on 571 medium-and-large innovating firms in the chemical, pharmaceutical and electronics industries from the third Taiwanese Innovation Survey (TIS3), and applying a configurational approach based on fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we address the recent call for a more nuanced and qualitative understanding of the relationship between external knowledge search diversity and firm innovation performance. We examine the effect on firms' innovation performance from collaboration with the component knowledge sources of a specific innovation partner category, Specialist Knowledge Providers (SKPs), which is comprised of universities, public/non-profit Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs), and private-sector consultants. We draw on the concept of an analytical and synthetic knowledge spectrum to understand when and how both individual and simultaneous collaboration with these three component knowledge sources is conducive or counterproductive to innovation of four different types: new-to-market product innovation, product innovation, process innovation, and organisational innovation. In doing so, we highlight the usefulness of a configurational approach for research on external knowledge search diversity. Because it is specifically designed to uncover the combined effect on outcomes from multiple inputs configured in varying ways, a configurational approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the relationship between external knowledge search diversity and firm innovation performance. We conclude by suggesting that research on external knowledge search diversity can be advanced using this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Though much of the semiconductor industry has shifted to a horizontal model, complexity driven by technological evolution is driving a shift in the perceived boundaries in the value chain. Global Unichip sees itself as a'virtual integrated device manufacturer,'a throwback to the vertically integrated model that fell out of favor for most chips. The case offers an opportunity to examine a highly modular industry and the impact of technology shifts on those boundaries, with significant implications for the incumbents.

This paper examines how geographically inter-organisational networks affect innovative performance of firms located in industrial clusters, especially the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP) in Taiwan. Based on an exhaustive manual search of the United Daily News Group database, 1445 inter-organisational alliances were identified in the period from 1991 to 2002. This research revealed that the innovation performances of firms in industrial clusters may benefit not only from networking in industrial clusters but also from national and international networking. Policies should encourage industrial clusters to establish symbiotic innovation networks between local, national and global partners.
