| Summary: | 在主要的文獻中皆認為工業地域能帶來外部經濟，諸如: 廠商在工業地域中能受益於外部知識以及依賴外部知識的資源、仰賴外部知識的關係，而成為廠商創新的動能。
據此，我們以生物科技產業作為觀察對象，觀察工業地域廠商研發績效的研究。首先，將台灣劃分為北、中、南三個主要之工業地域，其次以「工業地域」、「產業群聚」、「地理鄰近性」以及「研發網絡」等四項外部性因素觀察在此區域下廠商之研發績效，第三，我們同時分析影響生物科技產業研發績效的內部因素，包括「研發部門」、「員工人數」、「研發人數」以及「研發支出」。
研究結果顯示，地理鄰近性有利於知識的分享，交互作用在廠商的學習與創新。而我們也發現，產業群聚對生物科技產業之研發績效是很重要的影響因素。除此之外，一般研究所實證的「員工人數」以及「研發人數」對廠商之研發績效有影響，在本研究也得到了一致性的證實，由此顯示豐沛的知識是生物科技產業的核心。最後，我們驗證低研發支出對生物科技產業的研發績效呈現負相關，以及生物科技產業之研發績效在劃分的三個工業地域表現中，無顯著之差異。

=== The body literature tends to assume that industrial district can increase external economies. For example, all the competitiveness firms in a industrial district can get the benefit from external knowledge. Depending on exteral sources of knowledge and relationships will be the energy of innovation. Accordingly, our research examines the effect of industrial district on the R&D performance of biotechnology industry .
In this study, first we demarcate three main industrial clustering districts in Taiwan. Second, we observe the R&D performance in the three main industrial clustering districts by four external factors which are industrial district, industry cluster, geographical proximity and R&D network.; and third we also analyze internal factors on the impact of performance of biotechnology industry, which are R&D department, number of employees, R&D personnel and R&D expense.
Results show that geographical proximity facilitates knowledge sharing and interactive learning and innovation. Moreover, we find that industry cluster is an important factor of R&D performance of biotechnology industry. In addition, the general claim that number of employees and R&D personnel are helpful to firm’s R&D performance. In our research we find the same conclusion, that shows abounding knowledge is the core of the biotechnology industry. Finally, the empirical results indicate that low R&D expense is negatively related to R&D performance, and there is no different performance on Taiwan’s three main industrial clustering districts.
Keywords:Industrial district, R&D performance
