There is also an unwillingness to spend large amounts on research and development. Enticing the staff of competitors who "bring their guns with them," Taiwan companies use hiring as the direct approach to upgrading their technology. It is common industry practice, so that no one regards it as "theft" with the possibility of incurring serious punishment.
另方面，不願花鉅額研發費用，卻利誘競爭對手的員工「帶槍投靠」、以走捷徑方式取得技術的作法，在業界也見怪不怪，並沒有體認到這是不折不扣的「偷竊」行徑，有嚴重觸法的可能性。
