Innovation is an indispensable factor for high-technology industry in recent years. With the environment changing rapidly and product life cycle becoming shorter, enterprises can’t rely on their own R&D because that donot fit the cost-benefit and can’t quickly respond to market demand. Chesbrough (2007) pointed out the concept of open-innovation that it can use external forces to assist the interal innovation or transferred the internal R&D results to other enterprises in innovative activities. Open-innovation has become one of the important ways to get high economic reward in modern enterprises.
In this study, the research aims to identify measurable indicators of open- innovation, understand the current situation of open-innovation in high-technology firms in Taiwan, discuss the relevance between open-innovation indicators and open- innovation performance and discuss the relevance between open-innovation performance and business performance.
The results show that open-innovation is importance in high-technology firms, but their open-innovation performance is not good. And open-innovation indicators and open-innovation performance have a significant correlation and open-innovation performance and business performance also have a significant correlation.
Finally, innovation of high-technology firms in Taiwan has become a cross-functional activity and intellectual property rights are still in the defensive phase. According to Chesbrough’s (2007) six open-innovation business models, Taiwan’s corporations are from the type three to type four nowadays. How to become the entire open-innovation business model type? We should establish the good linkage among the company, clients and suppliers in the business model. If the external partners and companies cooperate, they can be shared technical risks and financial rewards. Therefore, we need to manage and apply the intellectual property as a strategic asset. In a word, open-innovation should be representatives to the entire corporate organization. And we can establish a sustainable business by building a flexible open-innovation business model and enhancing corporate performance.
