In the early industrial age which with high intensity of machine and labor, using financial measurement index was good enough to tie in company`s mechanization and philosophy of management and been in efficiency. But being comply with "New Economic age," a new economic environment is full of knowledge and information, the enterprise competition had changed from tangible assets, plants to intangible innovation ability of knowledge. As recognizing the new tendency by enterprise, they value gradually the growth and influence from learning. Practice of organization learning not only needs firm structure and be in coordination with both hardware and software, but also needs an affect measurement model to offer enterprise to estimate learning performance. It`s a good instrument of financial performance measure mold in the past years, But it`s for measuring the past, couldn`t formulate enterprise trend to future, hard to estimate investment for future, such as development of products, organization learning, knowledge management etc, as which intangible assets and knowledge ability just the key factors of being win around competition environment in the future. In 1992, Kaplan and Norton brought up Balance Scorecard (BSC) on Harvard Business Review, as an instrument helping enterprise to measure performance, which is being considered to be a most influence management instrument. It added non-financial index such as customer, internal process and learning growth besides traditional financial index, as offering enterprise an index to measure and manage intangible assets and intellectual property. As being aware of organization learning is hard to be ignored in the new economic age, this research is based on learning and growth of BSC, and citing one national material company try to let the most difficult measurement performance of organization learning, to be estimate through BSC, analyze of factor and individual case, to discuss the company how to make the related strategy and vision of organization learning to develop learning and growth of the structure of BSC, subject the matter of out put factors to be discussed, and measure the outcomes as a result of research. The research affect offers (1) the base implement procedure of carrying out BSC; (2) the reference of formulating measurement index while enterprise using BSC to estimate performance of organization learning; (3) the possibility bottleneck maybe forcing while carrying out BSC, to be an improvement or preventive for enterprise.

An Empirical Study on the Correlation among Innovative Strategies, Motivation, Level of Implementing Innovative Activities and Business Performance in Taiwan's High-tech Manufacturers

Chung, Yi-Chan,Hsu, Yao-Wen,Chiu, Chung-Ching,Chen, Ching-Piao,Tsai, Chih-Hung The Korean Society for Quality Management 2008 The Asian Journal on Quality Vol.9 No.3

This study explores the influence of Taiwan's high-tech manufacturers' innovative strategy and innovation motivation concerning the implementation of innovative activities, as well as the influence of innovative activities implementation on business performance. The two intermediate variables, industry group and enterprise scale are also considered. Through a review of the relevant literature, a theoretical model of the influence relationship is developed, while an empirical analysis is simultaneously conducted on Taiwan's high-tech manufacturers. The research result shows that the internal driving force of innovative activities has a significant impact on the level of implementing technological innovative activities and cultural innovative activities. The external driving force of innovative activities has a significant impact on the level of implementing market innovative activities and management innovative activities. Companies adopting self-developed technology and purchased as well as self-developed technology strategies, perform better than those adopting purchased new technology or those with neither purchased nor self-developed technology strategies, at implementing technological innovative activities and cultural innovative activities. The level of implementing innovative activities has a significant influence on business performance (cost reduction and product/service differentiation). For the intermediate variables of "industry group" and "enterprise scale", it is proven in this study that they have no significant influence on the level of innovative activity implementation or business performance.

Research on the Relationship Between the OHSAS 18000 System Implementation and Competitiveness in Taiwan's Industries

Chung, Yi-Chan,Chiu, Chung-Ching,Tsai, Chih-Hung,Hsu, Yau-Wen The Korean Society for Quality Management 2006 The Asian Journal on Quality Vol.7 No.3

In recent years, the labor consciousness is gradually valued. During the process of pursuing sustainable operation, the enterprises treat occupational hazard risk as the waste of cost. The purpose of OHSAS 18000 occupational security and health management system is to systematically establish the business managerial measures in terms of occupational security and calamity prevention. This research proceeded with questionnaire analysis with respect to the relationship between the OHSAS 18000 system implementation and competitiveness in Taiwan's industries. The research result revealed that there was significant relationship between Taiwan firms' execution of OHSAS 18000 system and industry competitiveness. Thus, the enterprises can decide the proper managerial plans according to the result of their own risk evaluation to prevent the happening of accidents and reduce the operational cost. They can thus completely control business occupational hazard risk through "systematic" management.

A Modified Mutation Detection Method for Large-scale Cloning of the Possible Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Sequences

( Ming Chung Jiang ),( Pao Chu Jiang ),( Ching Fong Liao ),( Ching Chiu Lee ) 생화학분자생물학회 2005 BMB Reports Vol.38 No.2

Although the human genome has been nearly completely sequenced, the functions and the roles of the vast majority of the genes, and the influences of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes are not entirely known. A modified mutation detection method was developed for large-scale cloning of the possible SNPs between tumor and normal cells for facilitating the identification of genetic factors that associated with cancer formation and progression. The method involves hybridization of restriction enzyme-cut chromosomal DNA, cleavage and modification of the sites of differences by enzymes, and differential cloning of sequence variations with a designed vector. Experimental validations of the presence and location of sequence variations in the isolated clones by PCR and DNA sequencing support the capability of this method in identifying sequence differences between tumor cells and normal cells.

Effects of plant-growth-promoting microorganisms and fertilizers on growth of cabbage and tomato and Spodoptera litura performance

Yuwatida Sripontan,Ching-Wen Tan,Mei-Hua Hung,Chiu-Chung Young,Shaw-YhiHwang 한국응용곤충학회 2014 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.17 No.3

Fertilizer and plant-growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) both benefit crop growth; however, little isknown about the interaction effects when they are combined. This study assessed the effect of PGPMs andfertilizer on plant growth, foliar chemistry, and subsequent insect feeding. Cabbage and tomato plants wereinoculated with PGPMs (fungi and bacteria) and various levels of fertilization. Plant growth parameters (freshweight, dry weight, and leaf area) and foliar chemistry (water content, protein content, and polyphenol oxidaseactivity) were then analyzed. In addition, foliage was also fed to the third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura toevaluate foliage quality. The results indicated that plant performance differed significantly among treatments,and the combined fungi Meyerozyma guilliermondii and fertilizer treatment promoted the greatest plant growth. In summary, PGPMs and fertilization can have their owneffect; their interaction effect, however, need to be clarified.

Tien, Shiaw-Wen,Chiu, Chung-Ching,Chung, Yi-Chan,Tsai, Chih-Hung,Chang, Chin-Fa The Korean Society for Quality Management 2007 The Asian Journal on Quality Vol.8 No.2

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aims to analyze possible impact upon manufacturing process and availability of products, and also study the environmental considerations and potential influence during entire life cycle ranging from procurement, production and utilization to treatment (namely, from cradle to tomb). Based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe manufacturing of company A, this case study would involve evaluation of environmental influence during the production process. When the manufacturing process has been improved during "production process" and "forming cooling" stage, it is found that capital input on "electric power" and "water supply" could be reduced, thus helping to sharpen the competitive power of company A, and also ensure sustainable economic and industrial development in accordance with national policies on environmental protection.
