兩岸區域環境對臺灣製造業廠商研發區位選擇影響之研究

A Study on the Impact of Regional Environments Between China and Taiwan to Taiwanese Manufacturing Firms' R&d Locational Choices

本文在兩岸區位優勢差異下，分析影響臺灣製造業廠商兩岸研發區位選擇的因素，改善既往研究未同時討論臺商與兩岸議題以及偏重個案研究的情形，經實證結果發現，區位優勢、研發單位類型、市場規模、政策條件、產業群聚、知識流通及研發經費投入等變數為臺灣製造業廠商兩岸研發區位佈點的影響變數，除了市場規模及市場型研發單位與研發區位選擇呈現負向關係外，其他皆與區位選擇呈現正向關係，顯示除因臺灣市場規模太小造成臺商選擇至對岸設立研發據點外，臺灣在其他表現上皆較對岸具有吸引力，臺灣仍具有不可忽視的研發潛力，建議政府部門應在產業政策上有新作為，提供廠商各項研發所需要的協助，以吸引更多本土企業於臺灣設立研發部門，不斷累積及提升臺灣的研發競爭力。 With the viewpoint of regional advantages, this paper analyzes the impact of R&D locational choices that manufacturing firms in Taiwan take under the differentiation of locational advantages between China and Taiwan as well as improves some points which are incompletely focused in the same study on Taiwanese firms, the cross-strait, and overweighing case-studies in the past. The empirical evidences bring that the impact of variables to locational distribution of Taiwanese manufacturing firms across the strait are many: locational advantages, the type of R&D unit, the scale of market, policical conditions, industrial clusters, knowledge flows and R&D investments. Except for the negative relationship between the scale of market/type of R&D unit and R&D locational choices, the rest variables have the positive relationship with R&D locational choices, which means that, barring that the scale of market in Taiwan is so small that Taiwanese firms choose to set up R&D spots in China, other variables in Taiwan are more attractive than those in China; Taiwan possesses innegligible energies of regional creativity. The suggestion is that the government has to take new actions on industrial policies, providing the assistance to R&D that enterprises need, in order to attract more and more local enterprises to set up their R&D functions in Taiwan for accumulating and advancing Taiwan’s competitiveness continuously.
