Determinants of firm Performance In Knowledge-Intensive Industries: A Comparative Study of Two Emerging Economies, China and Taiwan
Journal Title: Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5

In this sense, it is proposed that organizational strategies which leverage human capital are critical to the continuous development of firms in Chinese and Taiwanese knowledge-intensive industries. Concurrently, industry effects also influence economic performance, suggesting overall that industry membership is an important indicator of a knowledge-intensive firm's capability in value added by capital invested. This paper contributes to a scarcity of variance decomposition studies examining the sources of variation in fir
