A study of the factors of international competitiveness - the development of knowledge-based economy in Taiwan for instance

The economy development of Taiwan was facing the bottleneck in the1990s. The government set forth knowledge-based economy which involves high-tech industrial programs in order to break through the bottleneck. Computer networks were used to encourage economy, to accelerate production efficiency, and to enhance Taiwan¡¦s international competitiveness.
The ratio of R&D expenses and GDP was 2.06% in the year of 2000, was 2.54% in 2004, and went higher and higher every year. Though the goal of 3.0% R&D expenses and GDP rate in the year of 2010 was still pursuing, the investment expenses in R&D produced great innovation effect index. And the exceptional achievement was within 10th place in the world.
The results of this study indicate that if the ratio of R&D expenses and GDP. could be increased to above 3.5%, the technical innovation ability will be accelerated and elevated by the knowledge diffusion effect. Therefore, Taiwan¡¦s international competitiveness could be raised up to within 5th place in the world.
A sound and integral constitutional government system creates political and economical stability. And this kind of stability is essential to economic prosperity. Economic growth depends upon the developing of knowledge-based economy. Thus, the non-economic turmoil and anarchy which are likely to hinder the development of knowledge-based economy in nowadays Taiwan should be eliminated completely.
