The study on key success factors of the R&D innovation management in high value-added chemical industry

Abstract
There have been lots of M&A, alliance and restructuring activities occurred in
the chemical industry all over the world since 2001. In order to operate the business
successfully, the best way is through innovation instead of taking restructuring, cost
down and/or M&A strategy only. Usually, chemical material should be well mixed
or prepared to get unique properties for application. R&D and innovation are the
good solutions. Under such circumstances, in order to win the game and even to
survive, the chemical firms need to make changes of their products to be more
value-added and keep their sustaining competitive advantages .
This study has surveyed the questionnaires which were answered from the high

¡]1¡^The members participating in the innovation
¡]2¡^Organization system

firm secrecy protection mechanism, CTO can make the consequences of
decisions for R&D innovation activities to take, relationship between firms
and customers, participation of the R&D director in corporate strategy
formulation
