• Importance of problem (研究問題的中心) :如果問題沒被解決或是充分瞭解,這對研究的讀者會有多大的負面衝擊?



(第二部分:行動)

• Research objective (研究目標)

• Methodology to achieve objective(達成目標的方法)

• Anticipated results (希望的結果)

• Contribution to field (領域的貢獻)



範例 (第部分:背景)

研究建構 Credit cooperatives have played a pivotal role in Taiwan’s economicdevelopment as financial institutions. Market liberalization policies of the Taiwanesegovernment since 1992 have led to the emergence of several banks, with financialorganizations springing up quickly, thus intensifying market competition. Rapid growth ofthis market sector has produced some adverse impacts such as banks lowering theircriteria for loan approvals in order to remain competitive, subsequently leading to anincreasingly higher incidence of defaulted loans. Therefore, an increasing number offinancial organizations have run into this dilemma, especially credit cooperatives. Giventurbulent political and economic situations worldwide, financial institutions in Taiwanmust adopt dramatic reform measures to maintain their competitiveness. Despitegovernmental initiatives such as the nationwide Financial Reform Project, only banks notcredit cooperatives have benefited, explaining the low competitiveness of the latter inTaiwan’s financial market.

研究問題 Although attempting to reform the financial market, financial-related researchdoes not directly focus on market developments. In practice, while financial organizations

adopt the Experience Rule to upgrade their competitiveness, doing so often leads to thewrong investments and subsequent defaulted loans. Moreover, despite the ability ofinvestment risk models to identify potentially defaulted loans by directly focusing onmarket developments, previous studies have not analyzed the importance andcharacteristics of credit cooperatives in this area, explaining the ineffectiveness ofgovernmental initiatives such as the Financial Reform Project to revive their productivity.



範例 (第部分:背景)

研究問題的量化 This situation is especially prevalent among creditcooperatives, explaining their inability to reform and lower the rate ofdefaulted loans. Corporate survival of credit cooperatives as financialinstitutions in Taiwan is at a great risk, necessitating a furtherunderstanding of their importance and unique features.

研究問題的中心 The inability of the Experience Rule and financialresearch to reduce the risk of defaulted loans will lead to furthercorporate loss among Taiwan’s financial organizations. Under thiscircumstance, Taiwanese financial organizations will become lesscompetitive, explaining their shrinking number, i.e., only thirty creditcooperatives currently operating in Taiwan as opposed to seventy twopreviously. Even following their elimination, many credit cooperatives

leave several unresolved financial problems behind, subsequentlycreating a serious financial crisis domestically.



範例 (第二部分:行動)研究目標 Based on the above, we should develop aninvestment risk model that analyzes the features of creditcooperatives in Taiwan.

達成目標的方法 To do so, a questionnaire can be designedfor loan officers in credit cooperatives to accumulate

relevant loan information and background information ofcredit cooperatives. Features of credit cooperatives can thenbe analyzed using factor analysis. Next, factors influencingwhether or not financial officers approve loans can then beanalyzed using SPSS statistical software. Additionally,potential areas of defaulted loans can be identified using

MDS. Moreover, factors that distinguish credit cooperativesfrom banks can be analyzed using cluster analysis.



範例 (第二部分:行動)希望的結果 As anticipated, the proposed investment risk model canenable loan officers in banks and credit cooperatives to identifypotentially defaulted loans by directly focusing on market developmentsthat previous financial research neglected. Additionally, while previousstudies did not address the financial problems of credit cooperatives, theproposed model can more thoroughly understand the features and roleof credit cooperatives by identifying factors to enhance their performance.

領域的貢獻 In addition to compensating for limitations of previousfinancial research and the Experience Rule, the proposed model canprovide a valuable means of understanding current marketdevelopments in financial organizations, as well as assisting creditcooperatives in making secure loan decisions to maintain its marketcompetitiveness. Moreover, the proposed method can provide a

valuable reference for the Taiwanese Government to initiate timelyfinancial reforms that will enhance the role of cooperatives in thefinancial market.



範例二(第部分:背景)

研究建構 Given rapid changes in Taiwan’s healthcare environment,limited medical resources make efficient distribution essential, which isof priority concern among health organizations. State leveladministrators should analyze the productivity of each hospital todetermine whether resources are utilized effectively.

研究問題 In many countries, the public sector rather than non-profitorganizations provides the majority of commercial and social services,making their contribution extremely difficult to measure in terms ofconventional aggregative performance indicators such as return oninvestment (ROI), residual income (RI) and profitability. All hospitalsutilize resources to provide many services, i.e., a measure of the outputfor healthcare organizations. Thus, assessing the efficiency of how well

input is used to produce these services is an important measure ofperformance.



範例二(第部分:背景)

研究問題的量化 Of the 14,474 public and private medicalinstitutions operating in Taiwan as of the end of 1992,public and private medical care institutions comprisedninety seven hospitals as well as 479 clinics and 728hospitals as well as 13,170 clinics, respectively.

研究問題的中心 Given the substantial amount of resourcesthat governments invest in healthcare, efficiency of publichospitals is of priority concern. The inability to do so makesit nearly impossible to allocate medical resources tohospitals effectively from a governmental level.



範例二(第二部分:行動)

研究目標 Based on the above, we should analyze not only the efficiency ofhealthcare services that public hospitals offer using data envelopment analysis(DEA), but also those factors to enhance the performance of hospitals so thatadministrators can revise directions in management accordingly.

達成目標的方法 To do so, the efficiency of a central government-ownedhospital in Taiwan between 2002 and 2004 can be evaluated using data

envelopment analysis (DEA). As public hospitals in Taiwan are categorized aseither central government-owned, state-owned or county-owned, the sample inthis study can include central government-owned hospitals only. A multipleregression model can then be adopted in which the efficiency score obtainedfrom the DEA computations is used as the dependent variable; severaloperating characteristics of hospitals can be chosen as the independentvariable. In Step 1, the input and output factor that assesses the performance

of a hospital can be defined. The output includes total number of inpatient daysin a facility, total number of inpatient and outpatient surgeries, emergency roomvisits and total number of outpatient visits. The input includes all facilityexpenses minus payroll and total hospital bed capacity. The DEA efficiency ofthe health care institution can be identified using the BCC approach. In Step 2,if the BCC efficiency value <1 the DMU is inefficient. After all entities areevaluated for technical efficiency, the output values of the technically inefficientunits and rerun model can be increased until they attain BCC efficiency.



範例二(第二部分:行動)

希望的結果 As anticipated, analysis results can indicate that DEAconstructs for the underlying production technology of organizationscan be analyzed from observed outputs and inputs using mathematicalprogramming methods.. Additionally, efficiency can be assessedrelative to the computed production capacity. Results of this study canprovide a valuable reference not only for hospital administrators, but

also policy planners. Assessing the performance of non-profitorganizations should include, in addition to efficiency, the ability toidentify and evaluate relevant operating characteristics owing to theirimportance in organizational performance.

領域的貢獻 Results of this study can demonstrate that inter-temporalefficiency gains can be attained in the healthcare sector as hospital

administrators and policy planners strive to revise managementdirections to increase efficiency.
