Resum: The development of IC industry in Taiwan began with a technology transfer from the USA based RCA Company, which was conducted by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). ITRI´s Technology Transfer Team (TTT) members were first incubated in the National Laboratories at ITRI, and then dispatched to spin-off companies in the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP). Many of these TTT members are now the CEOs of leading companies within the IC industry. The aim of this Study is to examine how ITRI´s Electronics Research and Service Organization (ERSO) shaped RTD engineers into technical entrepreneurs (Tech nopreneurs), and how ERSO has promoted Taiwan´s industrial development. This study uses in-depth interviews with 16 TTT members, combined with critical incident analysis of historical documents to support the following themes:1. ERSO/ITRI´s organisational innovation inspired IC technopreneurs to realise the ´Innovative Spirit´ and ´Technopreneurship´. This was done by ERSO´s adoption of new-enlightened experimentation procedures, by ERSO´s cultivation of the ´Innovative Spirit´ of technopreneurs under transformational leadership, and by ERSO´s innovative climate. Besides, the all-purpose training of operation executives was conducted in in environment that simulated market and business operations, which perfected the managing skills of these ´technopreneurs´.2. As national laboratories in Taiwan, ERSO has contributed human capital and social capital to the development of IC industry in Taiwan, and it has also effectively linked Taiwan´s common innovative infrastructure with the geographical advantages of individual industrial clustering, thus creating the national innovative capability of Taiwan´s IC industry.
