Abstract
Prior research on the national innovation system mostly emphasizes technological diffusion and industrial performance. The discipline of the national innovation system leads to extensive discussions of technological policy, strategic alliances, technological transfers, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, and even talent acquirements. However, little research has examined why and how the philosophical views of actors in a national innovation system (e.g. egoism, utilitarianism, and altruism) affect the industrial performance. This study draws on a qualitative, theory-building case study to examine the transforming LED industry in Taiwan and to renew and extend existing research on the national innovation system.
