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
value-added chemical firms, government, educational and research institutes. Analytic
Hierarchy Process (AHP) was adopted for analysis. Our findings are:
1. The ratings of the importance in the second level of AHP are:
¡]1¡^The members participating in the innovation
¡]2¡^Organization system
¡]3¡^Protection of innovation
¡]4¡^Environment of the firm
2. The top five important factors in the third level of AHP are:
¡]1¡^Opinions from the industry---communication ability of the R&D director,
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
¡]2¡^Opinions from the government, educational and research institutes---
organizational culture of supporting venture and tolerating mistakes in the
innovation process, CTO can make the consequences of decisions for R&D
innovation activities to take, communication ability of the R&D director,
firm secrecy protection mechanism, participation of the R&D director in
corporate strategy formulation
¡]3¡^Opinions from the industry, government, educational and research
