摘要

本研究試圖探討在一家多國籍企業內中國大陸子公司同時存在營運之情況下，智慧資本與自組織這兩大類前因是否有助於台灣子公司仍然能成為一個研發卓越中心。以鄧白氏(D&B)2007年在台外資名錄裡所列之營業項目屬於「製造業」類的所有在台營運之外商企業子公司當作寄發問卷的對象，共寄給684家。回收的49家問卷裡再經過兩道額外的篩選準則，所以共刪到剩下35家有效問卷，再進行邏輯斯迴歸分析。研究結果顯示，人力資本適度地有助於特定子公司越有可能仍然能包含一個研發卓越中心；而特定子公司所擁有的創造性混沌空間和自組織越強時，同樣地皆對該子公司仍然能成為一個研發卓越中心具有稍微的正向影響。

This study attempts to understand the effect of intellectual capital and self-organizing as two main determinants in enabling a Taiwanese subsidiary within a multinational enterprise (MNE) leading to a R&D center of excellence with a mainland Chinese subsidiary also in operation. The respondents for this study were obtained from foreign enterprises, whose ＂Line of Business＂ included manufacturing and were listed in ＂D&B Foreign Enterprises in Taiwan 2007.＂ A total of 684 questionnaires were distributed, and 49 were collected. Two additional screening criteria were applied to filter invalid replies, leaving a total of 35 valid questionnaires that were then subjected to Logistic Regression Analysis. The results show that human capital modestly promotes the likelihood of a specific subsidiary becoming a R&D center of excellence. Moreover, both creative chaos and self-organizing would likewise have a slightly positive influence on its likelihood of becoming a R&D center of excellence.
