Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 財務金融研究所碩士在職專班 === 104 === The objective was to study the effect of R&D expenditure and capital expenditure on corporate performance in Taiwan's biotechnology medical industry. In this study, the qualitative method - case study was adopted. Before performing case-depth interviews to this company, the history and relative background of the company were understood from secondary literatures in order to prepare the interview outline. Through case-depth interviews, I looked forward to summarizing the conclusions and recommendations by the combination of interview results and literature studies. It is a fact in accountancy that there is a lack of the directly causal relation between the R&D expenditure and the future income. Additionally, it has a more effect on net profit for a company if current expenses including R&D expenditure, however, in capital expenditures, it has a less effect on net profit due to the evaluation by an economic amortization. The conclusions of this study are the followings: (1) R&D expenditure or capital expenditure is a positive effect on corporate performance in Taiwanese biotechnology medical industry. (2) R&D expenditure has a more positive effect on the stock than capital expenditure. (3) The investment in human resources has a positive effect on corporate performance. (4) R&D expenditure (intangible assets) is more important than capital expenditure (tangible assets) in investor’s view. (5) R&D expenditure and capital expenditure have the complementarity for each other.
