國內關於生物科技產業之相關研究大多聚焦在生技製藥產業與生技醫材產業上,鮮少探討應用生技產業之研究。儘管如此,由於近年來食安議題與國人重視身體保健等因素,使得應用生技產業逐漸受到重視。因此本研究之主要研究目的包括分析臺灣應用生技產業公司之近年經營績效,以及檢視可能影響經營績效之因素。 本研究之研究資料為2015年至2019年之年資料,樣本來源為臺灣應用生技產業中已上市櫃之食品生技產業與農業生技產業之公司,共計36家。研究方法包括資料包絡分析法(DEA)、Pearson相關分析、獨立樣本T檢定、ANOVA與TOBIT迴歸模型。研究結果發現,整體應用生技產業之經營效率偏低,而技術效率(TE)偏低是主要的影響來源。此外,農業生技產業公司之經營效率約略高於食品生技產業之公司。最後,TOBIT迴歸模型之結果顯示顯著影響效率值之因素為長期資金適合率、總資產週轉率(次)與營運資金,且皆對效率值之影響呈現正相關,因此公司如欲改善其經營效率,在經營上可優先考量上述影響變數。
The researches related to biotechnology industry in Taiwan mainly focus only on pharmaceutical and medical industries. So far the literatures regarding applied biotechnology industry are few. Nevertheless, as the issues of food-safety and health-and-care are concerned in the recent years, it is paid more attention to the studies regarding applied biotechnology industry. Therefore, the objectives of the study are to analyze the operating performance among the companies in the applied biotechnology industry and to investigate the possible influential factors on efficiency. The sample of the study comes from 36 listed-or-OTC food biotechnology and agriculture biotechnology companies in the applied biotechnology industry in Taiwan during 2015 to 2019 and it is the yearly-pattern data collection. The methodology includes the data envelopment analysis (DEA), Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, independent-sample t-test, ANOVA, and Tobit regression model. The results reveal that the efficiency of whole applied biotechnology industry is low. The reason mostly comes from the effect of the low technical efficiency(TE). Besides, the efficiency of agriculture biotechnology companies is higher than that of food biotechnology companies. Finally, the results of Tobit regression model suggest that the influential factors on efficiency are long-term funds to fixed assets, total assets turnover, and working capital. And all of them have positive correlation with efficiency. Thus, the findings suggest that if companies consider improving operating efficiency, the factors mentioned above can be taken precedence over in operation.
