本研究以行政院主計處所提供的生物科技產業為例，運用Caroli and Van Reenen (2001)的模型探討資訊通訊科技、組織改變和擁有ICTs技術的勞工對於廠商績效的影響，以及這三者之間的相互關係；另外，依據生物科技的產業特性，我們加入了決定廠商研究發展和合作關係的模型。實證結果大致上符合預期的假，ICTs、組織改變和ICTs勞工對於廠商的生產績效有相當的貢獻，研究發展的投入和廠商之間的合作關係在生物科技產業也扮演著重要的角色。

The focus of this paper is to examine information communication technologies (ICTs), organizational changes, R&D, and collaboration through econometric regression analysis. We concern about the impact of the sunrise biotechnology industry in emerging developed economy of Taiwan. This paper investigate the determinants of organizational changes, and complementary relationship between ICT labors, ICTs, and organizational change and study the determinant model of the most important topics, R&D and collaboration, which display biotechnology’s characteristics.
