“…Therefore, Taiwan has become the second-largest semiconductor producer in the world and has successfully transformed its industry structure towards the development of a technologyintensive industry. Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) supports the Technology Development Programme (TDP) and Industrial Technology Development Programme to facilitate technological developments in the domestic industry (Hsu, Chiang 2001;Hsu et al 2009). However, the burst of the subprime mortgage bubble in 2007 triggered a global financial storm in 2008, which caused a sharp rise in international oil and raw material prices, drove up the pressure for global inflation, and led to a stifling global spending decline.…”

Abstract. The semiconductor industry has been regarded as one of the most important industries by Taiwan due to the market share of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in 2011 ranked second worldwide. However, the European debt crisis triggered a global economic recession in 2011, causing Taiwan's output of semiconductors in 2010 and 2011 to show negative growth. This paper will mainly explore, from the performance evaluation perspective, the Malmquist productivity index of the Taiwan's semiconductor industry based on a metafrontier approach. The empirical results show that the European debt crisis in 2011 had an impact on Integrated circuit (IC) design companies and IC manufacturing companies, but that there was no influence on IC packaging and testing companies when measuring static efficiency. From the viewpoint of dynamic productivity performance, the paper finds that the main reason for the negative growth of IC packaging and testing companies and IC design companies came from a backward movement in technical change, but the main reason for the negative growth of IC manufacturing companies derived from a decline in pure technical efficiency.

“…In reality, government subsidies are provided for corporate marketing activities and are regarded as an important factor for encouraging companies to choose marketing innovation activities. However, the analyses on the relationship between innovation and government subsidies have given the focuses not on innovation decision but on R&D. The increasing importance of technology urges the companies and government to invest in R&D. Subsidy for R&D is a typical governmental intervening behavior that has been lasted for some decades in most developed countries (Hsu et al, 2009). Lerner (1999) investigates the effectiveness of U. S. government subsidy for SMEs and finds that the sponsored SMEs outperform the non-sponsored ones.…”

A B S T R A C TThe marketing related literatures emphasize the key role of marketing for companies performances. However, not much attention has been paid to marketing innovations and their performances. Focusing on 2,149 Korean manufacturing companies, this paper examines the factors that influence companies' marketing innovation decisions and marketing performances by using the Heckman selection model for addressing the sample bias problem. Three key findings have been derived. First, by categorizing market orientation among the three components-customer orientation, competitor orientation, inter-functional coordination, the findings show that customer orientation enhances marketing performance, but does not influence marketing innovation decision. On the other hand, both competitor orientation and inter-functional coordination have positive influences on the marketing innovation decision, but not on marketing performance. Second, marketing innovation activities such as product design, promotion, placement, and price help to enhance marketing performance. Third, the factors that influence marketing innovation decision and their performance are different depending on technological level of an industry. The results suggest that the marketing related activities are more important in high-tech rather than in low-tech industries.

“…Since R&D generally involves market failure, government funding could increase R&D activities and move them closer to the social optimum [1]. In addition, R&D intensity and subsidies have positive correlations with the probability of innovation [2], and government-sponsored R&D creates additional innovations for beneficiaries [3][4][5]. Thus, government grants that encourage private R&D activities are common in many OECD countries [6].…”

Government R&D investments are steadily increasing with the perception that R&D plays an important role in technological innovation and sustainable economic growth. In particular, because biotechnology is recognized as one of the next growth engines, the Korean government has recently increased their investment in biotechnology R&D. However, careful analysis of the efficiency of government-sponsored R&D projects is still lacking. In this paper, we measured the technical efficiency and technology gap ratio to investigate the efficiency of Korean government-sponsored R&D projects of 16 sub-biotechnologies from 2007 to 2013 using a metafrontier Data Envelopment Analysis approach. There was no improvement in overall efficiency between 2007 and 2013. Biochip development technology has been the most efficient sub-biotechnology field and the least efficient fields have been biotechnology product safety and efficacy assessment technology. Medical science and engineering is the closest to optimal production technology among sub-biotechnologies. The efficiency of universities and government-funded research institutes is high, while the efficiency of companies is relatively low. The results suggest that the government should improve the R&D planning process and establish a customized R&D investment strategy that considers the characteristics of technologies and the seven organization types of R&D conductors to increase R&D efficiency.
