| Summary: | 博士 === 國立中山大學 === 公共事務管理研究所 === 98 === Government support for applied Research and Development (R&D) persisted in
the US despite evidence to the contrary. Many provide government R&D funding for
enterprises of particular interest and a number of countries have substantially
increased their expenditure on R&D. SBIR as a means of funding high-risk R&D
with broad commercial and societal benefits that would not be undertaken by a single
company, either because the risk was too high or because a large enough share of the
benefits of success would not accrue to the company for it to make the investment.
Therefore, the program’s goal is to the development and application of new, enabling
technologies that individual firms would not or pursue on their own and thereby
encourage the economic growth that comes from the commercialization and use of
new technologies in the private sector. However, very few studies of R&D policy
toward innovative subsidy program in developing country. Public programs to
subsidize high-technology firms have represented a significant but little-studied area
of public expenditures. This article assesses the long-run success of firms
participating in the SBIR program in Taiwan. The plan of this research is as follows.
The purpose of this search in Taiwan is to study the impact of
government-industry R&D programs on private R&D. The research has 3 important
aspects. First, using a questionnaire to understand the enterprises intention and
behavior which have participated in the “Small Business Innovation Research
(SBIR)” this paper first examines whether government R&D subsidies influence
firm’s innovative activities. Second, this paper examines what the correlation is
between government funding and private R&D expenditures. Finally, this research
conducted 67 important interviews from enterprises. Not only the multi-methodology
comparisons, the empirical results aimed at:
1) Examine the role of public/private partnerships (PP/Ps) as an instrument to
leverage public investment in strategy technology and innovation and to achieve
other goals of technology and innovation policy;
2) Identify the critical factors determining the success of R&D subsidy program for
innovation, with an emphasis on programme design, financial arrangement, and
evaluation
3) Government R&D subsidies have a significant positive effect or not on firm’s R&D
expenditure / employment / firm-financed R&D spending.
