The RD talents development of high-tech industries in Taiwan

摘要

In 2007, the total production value of Taiwanese large-sized TFT-LCD was US$32,720 million, making Taiwan the world leader in TFT-LCD production. This study applies system dynamics to model the developmental structure of Taiwanese large-sized TFT-LCD industry to explore its system behaviors. The developmental structure of large-sized TFT-LCD industry in Taiwan is primarily composed of the three variables: R&D talents, accumulated capital and technology levels. The results show that R&D talents which influence the future development of Taiwan's large-sized TFT-LCD industry are complicated and are affected by interaction between key variables, causal loops, and the external environment.
