碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 科技管理所 === 106 === Innovation has become a vital thinking in government governance and enterprise operation. The process of government and enterprises devoting to innovation and the factors for success have also become an important issue for academic research. Although innovation-related issues continue to be watched, there are few studies focusing on the development of innovation research in Taiwan. Thus, the study mainly aims to observe innovation-related theses and dissertations in Taiwan by co-word analysis, and describe the development context of innovation research in Taiwan, which is called “innovation map based on theses”. Afterwards, the study tries to compare the innovation map based on theses to the innovation map based on journal. It is hoped that it can help the relevant researchers to know the process status of the innovation research in Taiwan. The data used for the analysis in this study, totally with a total of 10514 theses about innovation, which was published from 1976 to 2016 in Taiwan, and 646 dissertations related to innovation, which was published from 1988 to 2016 in Taiwan, was collected from the National Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertation in Taiwan. Besides, these two data are discussed separately. The data is constructed into a co-word network, and then using cluster analysis to explore the main topic in the data and the relation between clusters. In the end, there are ten focus topic according to co-word between theses, including " Innovation management ", " Customer management innovation ", " Organizational Innovation ", " Technology Innovation ", " Innovative design practice ", " Innovative performance ", " Teaching innovation ", " Innovation Diffusion ", " Service Innovation ", and " Industrial innovation and policy ". In addition, the biggest topic of innovation-related dissertations is " Organizational Innovation ", and then comes to "Innovation Diffusion". The results show that the annual output of domestic innovation-related research has gradually slowed down in recent year. The topic of the whole innovation-related dissertations in Taiwan prone to be single. On the contrary, innovation-related theses in Taiwan show the diverse distribution of topic. Moreover, due to influenced by the industrial structure changes, the topic in early times focusing on technique-level has transferred to concentrate on service-orientated. Hence, " Service Innovation " has become an emerging topic; Furthermore " Innovation management "and " Customer management innovation " cover lots of issues largely, and these two topics have kept high output. The amount of research in both topics are numerous, and these topics have deeply relation with other topics as well; By contrast, "Innovative design practice", "Teaching innovation", and "Industrial innovation and policy" are independent minority topics.
