碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 企業管理系碩士班 === 92 === Abstract Nano-Technology has been regarded as the forth industrial revolution and the key driver of new technology development in 21 century. According to the estimation of Economic Department, the total value of Nano-Technology related businesses in Taiwan is expected to reach NT300 billion. Nano technology will become the major star in industry development in the near future. It will become the most dynamic and fast-changing technology consolidated from the knowledge in different science areas and industries. The one who can grasp market opportunities will become the winner in the new trend of Nano-technology. Nano titium photocatalyst is one of the earliest commercialized products. This research plans to discover the development of this area in the world to shorten the time of development and speed up the changing of traditional industry. Patent Analysis has been widely used in evaluating technology strengths and trend in many academic literatures and practical industries. Therefore, this research will implement Patent Databases and Statistics Analysis (RPA、MDS) through IPC to identify key technology and new trend of technology development、major technology strength、Technological Capability Group、Technological Difference and Technological Position. The research result provides the suggestions on planning R&D investment to reduce the risk and uncertainties and increase the return rate. This not only allows the existing companies and new comers to plan a good strategy in the traditional or newly developed market but also provides very effective and valuable analysis approaches when formulating technological policies in the country. The research outcome shows that the country, which devotes the most resources, is Japan. There are 12 most powerful companies in the area of nano titium photocatalyst . Six core technologies are identified through bottom-up approach by using IPC. The technological development and technological position of these 12 companies are also acknowledged. The technologies in this area are categorized as three groups and the companies are also grouped according to Technological Capability Group. Key Words: nano-technology、titium photocatalyst、MDS、Technological Position
