Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 96 === The purepose of this paper is to evaluate the National Telecommunications Program by human capital and relational assets respectively through questionnaire investigation from principle directors of Telecommunications Projects and R&D managers of participating corporations. In human capital, this paper investigates human quality and the mobility of members trained by the Telecommunications Program. As a result, this study shows that the majority of members from Telecommunications Program are employed by the telecommunications industry. Especially, most of members are employed by the telecom manufacturing industry. Although the National program fosters many technical personnel, the author finds that there are still large demands of non-technical personnel by both telecom manufacturing and service industry. On the assessment of human quality, this research finds that salaries provided by the manufacturing industry for members from National Telecommunication Program significantly higher than those. Besides, the employees trained by the National program are better in quality than those who are not. However, the valuation of human quality seems to be nonsignificantly different from firms’ viewpoint. In relational assets, this paper evaluates the intensity of industry – university cooperation and what have benefited to the telecommunication firms. The study shows that industrial participants are more eager to get a breakthrough in a critical technology from the cooperation with the national program. Even though, the participating firms are disappointed at the objective of accelerating application development of targeted technology, the high intensity of the industry-university cooperation indeed increases more acquisition of knowledge from other fields.However, the telecommunication firms don’t increase the intensity of the industry – university cooperation than before, no matter firms had participated in the National Telecommunication Program or not. In addition, the intensity of the industry – university cooperation cannot enhance the perceived quality of employees from the Telecommunication Program. Finally, this research discusses the implications of governmental technology policy and National technology program planning.
