Some aspects of R&amp;D management practice, for example, the generation and utilization of technical reports and the cultivation of professional knowledge, can be reinforced by office support and alliance. With adequate resource support, more sophisticated R&amp;D management practice does lead to better innovation performance as measured by the number of new products, patents, and technical reports.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings are derived only from the high\u2010tech industry in Taiwan.
