Abstract
The rising of mainland China market has attracted the attention from corporations all over the world. Some of its outstandingly performed high-tech parks have unavoidably become reputable competitors to those neighboring science parks across the Taiwan Strait. Thus, this research, aiming Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park and Zhang-jiang High Tech Park as case study objects, is focused on the comparison of the strategic development of science parks between Taiwan and China, by searching, collecting and analyzing information and data; building up a specific scoring system; and interviewing with governmental officials and professional managers from high-tech industries; to establish a conclusion that these two parks are advantageous in different fields, but are almost equally competitive as a whole at present stage. The research also suggests Taiwan Science Park Management to - utilize technical research and development energies from foreign countries; - virtually integrate marketing and industrial information services; - assist high-tech companies to strengthen globalization capability; - reinforce clustering - establish co-development mechanism with peripheral innovation systems; - consolidate public resources; - minimize political influence by and maximize economical benefit from mainland China.
