在現今的經濟發展下，相較於競爭對手有較佳的創新管理是一企業的主要目標之一，以期能夠長久生存並繁榮。當創新成為在強烈變遷的世界中的核心能耐時，專利的擁有便成為企業成功的重要因素之一。此外，了解企業如何在多元化以及一多元化兩種極端中取得平衡，以及多角化策略如何影響其資源的配置及管理，已經成為策略研究的重要目標。
本研究試圖了解在不同程度的產品多樣性情境下，組織寬裕資源如何在創新過程中發揮效果，以及寬裕資源本質的不同如何影響其在創新所扮演的角色。亦即，在多樣產品策略或集中產品策略之下，不同的寬裕資源應如何被使用?因此，本研究的兩大研究目的為：(1) 檢視組織的寬裕資源，包括已吸收和未吸收寬裕資源對創新績效的主要影響為何，以及(2)探討一企業的產品多樣性是否會調節其組織寬裕資源與創新績效之間的關係。
本研究之樣本共有599 家台灣資訊電子公司，296 家為上市公司，226 家為上櫃公司以及77 家的興櫃公司。研究結果發現，組織的已吸收和未吸收寬裕資源會正向影響其創新績效，亦即組織的寬裕資源愈多，其創新績效會愈好。以及企業的產品多樣性確實存在一調節的效果，會影響組織寬裕資源與創新績效之間的關係。當公司擁
有較多的已吸吸寬裕資源時，採行集中產品策略(低產品多樣性)會有較佳的創新產出。再者，當公司擁有較多的未吸吸寬裕資源時，採行多樣的產品策略(高產品多樣性)也會有較佳的創新績效。

Managing innovation better than its competitors is one of the main objectives of a business that wishes to survive and thrive in today’s economy. As innovation becomes the
core competence in the world change extremely, possession of patents has been the critical one of enterprises’successful factors. Besides, understanding why firms diversify and how diversification affects the way resources are managed in diversified firms have naturally
become important objective of strategy research.

This study try to figure out how organizational slacks affect innovation process under different degree of product diversity circumstances, and the different role of absorbed and unabsorbed slack play in innovation. Namely, how can different kinds of slacks used under diverse product strategy or focus product strategy? Hence，two purposes of this study are:(1) to examine the main effect of organizational slack, including absorbed slack and unabsorbed slack on innovation performance; (2) to investigate if product diversification will moderate the relationship between organizational slack and innovation performance.

599 Taiwan information-electronic firms were included, in which 296 firms were listed company of Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE), 226 firms were Over-the-Counter (OTC)
listed company and 77 were emerging stock firms. The results showed that there are positive impact of absorbed slack and unabsorbed slack on firm’innovation performance.
And the moderating effect of product diversity on the organizational slack—innovation performance relationship are firms with focus product strategy (low product diversity) can perform higher innovation outcome if obtain high amount of absorbed slack. Moreover, firms with diverse product strategy (high product diversity) that contain high amount of unabsorbed slack can be better innovator, too.
