博士 === 國立交通大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 94 === Abstract Innovation is a critical factor for enhancing nation’s competitiveness. National governments have pursued planning in innovation policies to improve nations’ growth. Research has successfully explored the definition of innovation, innovation theories, the rationale of government interventions on innovation, innovation policy instruments, and the relationships between new technologies, emerging market, innovative services, and economic growth. However, there were few definite answers to address the terms and constituent elements in the innovation policy. The purpose of this research is to develop a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) model for innovation policy definition and apply this novel MCDM model by an actual reconfiguring of Taiwan’s national innovation policy portfolios in the emerging areas of Taiwan’s integrated circuit (IC) industry, systems-on-a-chip (SOC), silicon intellectual property (SIP), and the web-based SIP transaction mechanism, SIP Mall. This novel MCDM model consisting Delphi, DEMATEL, ANP, GRA, and the cluster analysis is established. The model overcomes the inadequacies of traditional qualitative approaches which are subjective and misleading, the unrealistic assumptions on the independences between the innovation requirements, the vague correlations between innovation requirements and policy tools, and the lack of priorities of the policy tools. Meanwhile, a reconfiguration of innovation policy portfolios for Taiwan’s SOC, SIP, and SIP Mall industries is presented as the government’s innovation policy. The results demonstrate that a reconfiguration of innovation policy portfolios consisting of supply side policy instruments including scientific and technical, education, and information as well as environmental side policy tools including financial and taxation will be the most necessary aspects to develop Taiwan’s SOC, SIP, and SIP Mall industries.
