Abstract
It has become one of the most important issues for enterprises to keep their competitive advantages by determining the sources of required technologies under limited research resources. This study used Probit Model to examine how the overseas subsidiaries in China determined the sources of technology, and the impact of technology sources on quality and technology of parent company in Taiwan. The data of this study sampled from 2008 to 2011, acquired from “Overseas Investment Business Operations Survey” of Investment Commission, MOEA. The empirical results show that:
(A)The technology sources of large-scale manufacturers tended to source from internal R&D unit, including parent company and overseas subsidiaries’ R&D activities.
(B)The technology sources of electronic industry are more likely sourced from Taiwan.
(C)The more depth the manufacturers are localized, the more sources of technology are got from local.
(D)Export-oriented manufacturers pay more attention to the technology acquisition.
(E)Whether the technologies are got from internal or external source, they are conducive to enhancing the quality and technology of parent company. This effect is more obvious when the technology was sourced from parent company.
(F)The R&D, which was motivated from cost or market factors, has a positive impact on enhancing the quality and technology of parent company.
