Kai Hsiao, director of Asia International Procurement Operations at Hewlett-Packard, does not mince words: "When foreign manufacturing companies first rushed to Taiwan, there were plenty of good engineers, and their price was right too; only recently have foreign companies realized that there is a woeful lack of qualified R & D talent in Taiwan."
惠普亞洲區國際採購處總經理蕭國坤不諱言：「當初衝著台灣產業齊全、工程師量多質優又價格合理；現在才發現，國內人才嚴重不足！」
