The sources of technology for Taiwaness SMEs had been from the foreigness mostly. As the acceleration of SEMs and the challenge of global competition,it is so difficulty for SMEs to outsourcing the foreignal technology. Today,Taiwaness SMEs must invest R&D in-house to acquire its own technology. But,asthe technology tend too complexity and variety to commit huge R&D expenditure,especially for Taiwaness SMEs, which lack of capital and capability. Under thedilema of acquisition of technology, the consortia might be the second best way for SMEs to acquire required technology. Mean- while, government sponsoredR&D projects which directed by public research institutions, such as ITRI, provide the opportunity for SMEs to participate the so called "R&D consortia",for the purpose of acquiring appropriate technology. Whether do the firms want to participate the industry-government consortia?It is an important decision for firms. They must consider all the questions about the motives 、 the technological capabilities of ITRI. And the furthermore, because the members of the consortia all from different organizational culture. Different organizational strategic goal. and different interested-group. So, thefinal performance of cooperative R&D depend upon the interaction process mostly. This is an more important managerial topics. This study want to investigate the factors influencing the firm''s motives interaction mechanism and the performance from the viewpoint of the firms. About the empirical study, we select the firm''s which participated the ITRI''s consortia. Through the deeply interview and questionnaires, we want to study these managerial issues based upon a few theoretical points. And, we want this study might evoke the academy、the practionors、and the government, all take it as a most important topics. So, this study should be a better start-point, and list some useful suggestions for the academy、business、and the technology policyfor the government.
