| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 95 === High-Technology (High-tech) product is becoming a necessity of modern life. Hi-tech products are usually characterized by innovativeness and short product life cycle. Product with unique design that defeats others requires imagination and stimulus during the brainstorm stage. Hi-tech industry is also the focused industry where government has significant emphasis for development. Facing the rapid changes and uncertainties of a competing environment, dependency on research and development department (R&D) is becoming more and more important and is becoming the key element for success. Hi-tech industry’s focus on human resources and capital; reliance on information system that can efficiently create, accumulate, and communicate knowledge has turned: capital, human resources, technology, and knowledge into the critical-to-survival elements on high-tech industry.
Knowledge is considered to one of high-tech industry’s key resources. The only real product produced from R&D is knowledge. For R&D to be successful, knowledge must be obtained from key sources. Due to the interlocking relationship, knowledge from within and also external of an enterprise must be managed and utilized in order to provide value as an innovative resource. When an enterprise devotes resources to implement the organization’s knowledge management activity, what are the influences on enhancing R&D ability and innovation from a high-tech industry that relies on R&D?
This research adopt Structural equation modeling (SEM) to probe the correlation among Knowledge Management Enablers, Knowledge Creation Processes, Innovative Performance on research and development department in Hi-Tech industries. The statistics software is Visual PLS 1.04 and SPSS 10.0. The results are: (1) Knowledge Management Enablers (culture, Structure, knowledge source, Information Technology) positively influences Knowledge Creation Processes; (2) Knowledge Creation Processes positively influences the innovative performance.
Keywords：Hi-Tech industry, Knowledge Management, Innovation, Research and Development Department
