Abstract

The aim of this study was to revisit the relationship between productivity and performance by using the panel data model on Taiwanese food listed firms during 2008-2020. The result found that there is a U-shaped relationship between productivity and performance. On the contrary, research and development (R&D) innovation and performance have an inverse U-shaped relationship, reminding that when the food listed firms have a specific R&D innovation base, they should invest more powerful resources, professional productivity, and innovate the food listed firms.
