國際化技術發展策略群組的網路、資源與績效-以專利後引證資料分析台灣IC設計產業

Abstract

專利後引證是一種可以看出廠商想要追隨特定技術領域的意圖及可以劃出相鄰先進競爭者技術界限的觀察指標。本研究透過專利後引證資料進行台灣IC設計產業策略群組的技術追隨佈局，並分析這些策略群組的廠商能力及財務績效。研究發現以技術發展意圖形成的策略群組網路上，是以規模大的廠商為網路的中心。資源相對充裕的策略群組會較偏好國際化、獨特性及相對廣度較大的技術發展策略。策略群組偏好獨特性的技術發展，能獲取較高的資產報酬率。

Patent backward citation is an observant index that reveals the manufacturer’s intention of following specific technological domains and demarcates the technological boundaries of advanced competitors. This study uses the data on patent backward citation to determine the technology followership layout of strategic groups of IC design Industry in Taiwan, and analyze the capabilities and financial performances of these strategic groups. The results indicate that in the strategic group network formed by technological development strategies is centered on large-scale manufacturers. Large manufacturers with more sufficient resources prefer internationalized, unique, and broad technological development strategies. The strategic groups prefer unique technological development strategies that could acquire higher asset returns.
