This study investigated the advantage management strategies of a firm regarding the technological race in the manufacturing sector. This is to reveal whether firms adopt a catch-up or leapfrogging strategy in the competition for innovation. The results show that competition is fierce in the Taiwanese manufacturing industry. Taiwanese manufacturing firms (mostly SMEs) tend to adopt the "catch-up" strategy to keep up with their competitors in order to remain in the technological race. The result indicates that, under financial constraints, Taiwanese manufacturing firms attempt to invest in R&D to catch up with their rivals or to avoid being eliminated from the race.
本研究调查了一家公司在制造业技术竞赛方面的优势管理策略。这是为了揭示企业在创新竞争中是采用追赶策略还是跨越式发展策略。结果表明,台湾制造业竞争激烈。台湾制造企业(大多为中小企业)倾向于采用“追赶”策略以跟上竞争对手,从而在技术竞赛中立足。结果表明,在资金受限的情况下,台湾制造企业试图投资于研发以追赶竞争对手或避免在竞赛中被淘汰。
