Abstract
Applying the Taiwan Technological Innovation Survey III and 2006, 2011 Industry, Commerce and Service Census, we examine the relationship between innovative methods and profit performance. Furthermore, we use the two kind of two-stage model, Multivariate Probit Model with Regression Model and Treatment Effect Model with Regression Model. The innovative methods, including R & D activities within the company, commissioned research and development activities of other companies or institutions, making equipment and technology, obtaining external knowledge, R & D worker training, and marketing innovation activities. In the empirical studies, the obstacles to Innovation will let the firms less likely to do innovation activities, and firms’ size and its age will also make some effect on the decision of innovative methods. Manufacturers firms are more likely to innovate than service sector. Meanwhile the impact on the value added has the significant and positive effect when the firms have the innovation activities. We come to the same conclusion regardless using the Multivariate Probit Model or Treatment Effect Model.
