The Impact of Industrial Characteristics and Organizational Climate on KMS and Bip-Taiwan Bioscience Industry

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine how the bioscience industry exploits KMS to effectively manage intellectual property, especially patent documents. A majority of Taiwan's bioscience firms are small and medium-sized start-up companies that possess many valuable intellectual properties and patents/licenses. Nevertheless, due to lack or distortion of information, they are more likely to be charged of patent infringement by overseas companies who own the invention or technology. A case study on a Taiwan's leading bioscience firm is conducted to analyze the effect of KMS on patent management. This study findings show that KMS helps the firm avoid a conflict of interest, ensures rapid publication while allowing the firm to protect R&D results, and enhances competitive advantage. Four constructs are developed in this research: KMS, business innovation performance, and Bio-KMS benefits. Seven propositions are developed and supported by two case analysis results.
