在資訊科技快速發展的年代，科技發展(Technology Development)對於國家競爭力(National Competitiveness)影響，具有舉足輕重的地位。過去有許多學者都相當重視科技發展領域的研究，例如針對已開發國家探討科技移轉、科技的取得與科技的管理。就我們所知，尚未有學者針對開發中與低度開發國家的科技發展以及對於國家競爭力相關構面的影響進行研究。因此，在本研究中以東南亞國家為例，先行探討科技發展與經濟表現、人力資源的關係，進而以科技發展與管理能力為基礎，評估科技效率，最後探討科技發展與國家競爭力的關聯。從總體面觀察，透過對科技發展能力進行群集分析分成三群，並以排序相關與策略方格探討各群國家表現，研究結果顯示，新加坡、馬來西亞、泰國與寮國在科技發展與國家競爭力的關連上有相同的排序；新加坡、泰國、菲律賓與寮國在科技發展與經濟表現的關連上有相同的排序；馬來西亞與泰國在科技發展與管理能力的關連上有相同的排序。相反的，東南亞國家因研發人力投入科技發展的不足，科技發展的表現低於人力資源的應用。更進一步以策略方格探討彼此國家相對表現，四個方格中國家的表現中，新加坡優於所有各國；馬來西亞與泰國則應調整科技發展資源的運用以提升該國的國家競爭力，其他國家仍然受限科技發展的能力，無法提升該國的國家競爭能力。最後，本研究提供一個研究方向，顯示各群國家在科技發展的領域中需要增強哪些科技能力，以及哪些議題是未來擬訂科技政策以提升國家競爭力時，所應關注的重點。

Technology development (TD) plays a key role in national competitiveness (NC) by giving a country a competitive edge in the information age. Lots of researchers have focused on specific areas of TD, such as technology transfer, technology acquisition, and technology management, for most of developed countries. To our knowledge, however, they have seldom discussed the influence of TD on other categories of NC and vice-versa in the dev eloping and less-developed countries. In this study, we examine the interrelationships among TD, economic performance, and human resources, the technology efficiency with TD and management capabilities, and the role of TD in NC. From the NC viewpoint, Southeast Asian countries are divided into three patterns by means of a cluster analysis. The results show that Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Laos have the same rank on measures of TD and NC. Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Laos have the same rank on measures of TD and Economic Performance. Malaysia and Thailand have the same rank on measures of TD and Management Capability. In contrast, the TD performance of Southeast Asian countries is worse than the human resources performance because of their insufficient human resources assigned to R&D. Furthermore, based on a strategic grid for comparing the relative performance, four types of country and their achievements are discussed. Also, Singapore outperforms all Southeast Asian countries. Malaysia and Thailand have to leverage their TD resources in order to enhance their NC. The other countries are still hindered in developing the determinants of their NC. Finally, our study offers a path to the identification of how countries of each pattern should supplement their insufficient capabilities, and what are the most important issues that need to be addressed in retuning their TD policies in order to enhance their NC.
