The purpose of this study is to investigate whether R&D spillover effectsexist among Taiwanese high-tech firms, and to examine whether human capital andinformation technology contribute to such effects. We take the Taiwan listed and overthe-counter firms in the electronic and information industries as a sample to test ourhypotheses. The empirical results show that R&D activities of other firms in the samesub-industry have positive but insignificant effect on organizational performance (i.e.R&D spillovers effect). This result indicates that, on average, the R&D spilloverseffects do not exist. Moreover, this study finds that the corporate human capital cannotreinforce R&D spillovers, but investments in information technology do. This resulthelps firms verify the importance of IT investments in absorption of innovation relatedknowledge and, further, provides helpful management implication for the practice. |
