Abstract

This paper researches a method of rating competitiveness involving the estimation of the performance of semiconductor firms through Malmquist productivity index (MPI) and metafrontier Malmquist productivity index (MMPI). Regressions are used to find the relationship between intellectual capital and performance. Overall, technological innovations contribute to the improvement in the integrated circuit (IC) design sub-industry while increases in efficient production allow the IC foundry sub-industry and the IC packaging and testing sub-industry to maintain position. The regression results show human capital was critical to technological innovation while relational capital was important to efficient production.
