碩士 === 淡江大學 === 產業經濟學系碩士班 === 102 === The purpose of my dissertation is to discuss the determinants of SMEs'' market share in Taiwan and also want to know the difference between manufacturing and service’s sample. In this study, I use the DGBAS 2011 Business Census’s data to build up the regression model and use OLS as empirical method. According to the literature and hypothesis, I classify the determinants in four aspect: entry barriers, entry incentive, innovation and other influence. Empirical result show that in whole industries sample, SMEs’ relative labor productivity, we use to measure the entry barriers, is positive significant and SMEs’ relative capital productivity, we also use to measure the entry barriers, is negative significant. It means the Competitiveness of SMEs is higher on labor force, not on the capital. Like other variable as,Self-brand, market concentration, profit ratio-use to measure the entry incentive, R&D and E-commercial-use to measure the innovation, firm’s age, relative wage rate and preventing pollution expenditure-the other influence are all negative significant. These determinants are fit in with hypothesis. However, the industry capital-labor ratio is positive significant. It is not fit in with the hypothesis. Maybe now days in Taiwan industry, higher capital investment is not an entry barrier in SMEs. Finally, in the difference between manufacturing and service part, it is obvious that they have a difference in some determinants measuring by capital. In services, SMEs’ relative capital productivity is insignificant. It means that capital efficiency is not a SMEs’ entry barrier. In addition, Industry capital-labor ratio and R&D is positive significant. They show that in services, SMEs have a better development comparing with manufacturing.
