資訊通訊科技的迅速發展，不僅創造了高科技產業，也帶領著經濟快速成長。在討論資訊通訊科技對於產業的影響要素時，最重要的莫過於正確的定義資訊通訊科技。本文將技術升級、不確定等資訊通訊科技的特性納入考量，並且導入電子化技術，以建構一個全面性的資訊通訊科技指標。另外，我們依據Bresnahan, Brynjolffson and Hitt (2000)的模型探討資訊通訊科技與組織的關係，並結合經濟部工廠校正資料及製造業自動化及電子化調查，探討資訊通訊科技對於台灣高科技產業表現的影響。實證結果發現：一、資訊通訊科技的成功引進需要組織變革的配合；二、台灣高科技產業的資訊通訊技術員工比例，小型企業比大型企業高；三、台灣高科技產業的電子化程度相較於一般產業並不高；四、資訊通訊科技是影響台灣高科技產業發展的主要變數。

The purpose of this paper is to build a comprehensive indicator of Information Communication Technology (ICT). We first develop an ICT indicator for Taiwan high-technology industries. We then extend the Bresnahan, Brynjolffson and Hitt (2000) model to measure the impact of ICTs on economic performance and organization structure. In this paper, a new measure of ICTs provides a more complete picture of ICT activity in Taiwan high-technology industry.
