“…In previous research on the semiconductor industry, there were discussions concerning how the roles of government or industry policymaking affect the semiconductor industry development (Chang, Tsai 2002;Chen, Sewell 1996;Chen, Chang 2004;Shen, Tzeng 2016). There were studies using DEA to estimate the competitive performance of the global semiconductor industry (Kozmetsky, Yue 1998;Hsu 2015).…”

Abstract. The semiconductor industry has been regarded as one of the most important industries by Taiwan due to the market share of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in 2011 ranked second worldwide. However, the European debt crisis triggered a global economic recession in 2011, causing Taiwan's output of semiconductors in 2010 and 2011 to show negative growth. This paper will mainly explore, from the performance evaluation perspective, the Malmquist productivity index of the Taiwan's semiconductor industry based on a metafrontier approach. The empirical results show that the European debt crisis in 2011 had an impact on Integrated circuit (IC) design companies and IC manufacturing companies, but that there was no influence on IC packaging and testing companies when measuring static efficiency. From the viewpoint of dynamic productivity performance, the paper finds that the main reason for the negative growth of IC packaging and testing companies and IC design companies came from a backward movement in technical change, but the main reason for the negative growth of IC manufacturing companies derived from a decline in pure technical efficiency.

“…Learning and achievement in general have been seen as underlying features of Asian societies (Rowen, 1998). There has been an impressive number of studies centred on issues like the national innovation system, institutions, and the overall environmental conditions of industrialisation (see, for instance, Lall, 1998;Chen and Sewell, 1996;Shin, 1996). Indeed, some studies such as Gereffi (1999) and Ernst and Kim (2002) have been sought to understand the subcontracting process in East Asian economies, and the creation of global chains of supply.…”

This article examines the creation of industrial enterprises and the basic models of firm-level technological learning behaviour of the last 20 years in China. Six case studies of technological learning and links to external sources of know-how from the South of China in the Pearl River Delta are examined. It is shown that the learning process that has been experienced in these enterprises is similar to that of other fast growing East Asian economies. Until now enterprises have been acquiring technology through external linkages with foreign clients that become their main providers of technology. A detailed account of the enterprises allows a typology of the external technological learning. It is claimed that the growth of the South of China lies in this 'external' interactive technological learning, as in other East Asian economies.

“…First, Thai firms dislike sharing knowledge with others; they are likely to adopt agreements to engage with a local marketing research company for their own finding and operations. Second, most local Thai firms concentrate on upgrading existing products rather than introducing new products by applying R&D that confirmed by some finding of Suwannaporn and Speece (1998) and Chen and Sewell (1996). Technology suppliers play a major role as a source of advanced process/product technology and technology information in the Thai food processing industry.…”

Purpose -This paper investigate the relationship among alliance motivation, execution of cooperation and alliance performance of strategic alliance for commercializing technology and developing products. Design/methodology/approach -The measurements were constructed and tested empirically through a survey of 320 strategic alliances in the food processing industry in Thailand. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were applied to refine scales for measuring alliance motivation, execution and cooperation performance. Finding -This research found that firms adopted social interaction with alliance partners in order to establish mutual expectations about technology characteristics, access opportunity and organisational management styles, factors that are shown to have positive influences on both commercial and partnership performance. Findings also confirm a significant positive impact of technology characteristics, access opportunity, market potential and financial benefit on the adoption of a formal partnership agreement, but a significant impact only on commercial performance. Research limitations/implications -Further research should use random samples in different industries in other emerging economies, and other data analysis methods to assess decision-making in strategic technology alliances that may include different types of partnerships. Practical implications -The findings are also useful for managers who leverage operations with external resources obtained through strategic alliances parameters both in the process of managing relationships and achieving results. Originality/ value -This article contributes to extant literature by developing a practical measurement system of alliance motivation, actual execution of cooperation and resulting performance in an emerging economy country. It also contributes to clarify the decisionmaking of firms that form strategic alliances for commercializing technology and developing products to facilitate more quality management research in other industries and countries. Paper type -Research paper
