摘要

探討創新表現(研發費用與專利數量)對企業績效之影響，並探究動態能力(dynamic capabilities)與規模(firm size)之調節效果。以臺灣電子業上市公司於2010年至2018年期間，曾排進經濟部智慧財產局「年度專利百大排名」（包含發明、設計及新型專利等3類型）之企業為研究對象，共248個觀察樣本，包括77家企業的資料，進行量化分析。本研究主要發現如下:
1. 在臺灣電子業中，具有高度創新能量的企業，其遞延一年期間的創新產出對其企業績效有顯著影響，而遞延兩年期間的創新投入對企業績效同樣有顯著影響。顯示創新表現越好，越可能產生具有競爭優勢的資源，進而增加企業競爭優勢。
2. 動態能力對於創新投入與企業績效之關係、創新產出與企業績效之關係，均呈現顯著的正向調節效果。表示創新表現在動態能力好的情況下，會更加強化企業績效。
3. 規模對於創新投入與企業績效之關係，呈現顯著的正向調節效果。表示創新投入越多，對大規模企業績效越有正向影響。規模對創新產出與企業績效影響之關係，則呈現不顯著的負向調節效果，可能是因為專利的特性，包含價值高低不同、價值效果難以估計、維護成本高等因素，而導致不顯著的調節結果。
4. 具有高動態能力的小規模企業，選擇專利數量擴張的策略，未必會對企業績效有不利的影響。

This research examines the influence of innovation performance (R D expenses and the number of patents) on firm performance along with the moderating effects on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and firm size. This research focuses on listed electronic firms in Taiwan which have been ranked in “Annual Top 100 Patent Rankings” by the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs from 2010-2018 the patents of which include invention patents, utility model patents and design patents. This research sample includes 248 observations and 77 firms. The following are the primary findings from a quantitative analysis:

1.A one-year time lag effect of innovation output has a significant impact on firm performance, as does a two-year time lag effect of innovation input. It shows that higher innovation performance leads to a greater competitive advantage and profit.

2.Dynamic capabilities moderate the relationship between the innovation input and firm performance, as well as the relationship between the innovation output and firm performance. The results show that the positive relationship is stronger when dynamic capabilities are high but weaker when they are low.

3.Firm size moderates the relationship between the innovation input and firm performance, and the significantly positive relationship is stronger when firm size is large but weaker when it is small. Firm size has an insignificant impact on the relationship between the innovation output and firm performance due to the characteristics of patents, which include difference in patent value, convoluted patent value calculation and high maintenance costs.

4.This research suggests that when a small firm size with high dynamic capabilities chooses a strategy focused on expanding patents, firm performance is not negatively impacted.
