Study on national innovation capacity and international connection

Abstract National innovation capacity plays a significant role in national technology development, and national development can be triggered by continuous innovation. Currently, as a result of globalization, countries are able to frequently interact with one other. Given this situation, it is necessary to measure the formation and effect of national innovation capacity from the perspective of international connections. In a study of 58 countries, it was found that international connections consist of foreign image, attitude toward globalization, international experience, foreign high-skilled employes and foreign investors. The capacity for international connections significantly and positively influences national innovation capacity, such as scientific research and the export of high-tech products. Studies have demonstrated the necessity of enhancing technology development by upgrading international connections. This study attempts to construct a correlation model between international connections and national innovation capacity to function as a criterion for the Taiwanese government to enhance national competitiveness.
