And the analysis result of this research shows that downsizing in Taiwan have positive effect on firms’ performance.After financial crisis, industries with higher R&D intensity have weaker positive effect on firms’ performance after downsizing than those with lower R&D intensity.Industries with higher capital-intensive have stronger positive effect on firms’performance after downsizing than those with lower capital–intensive.And industries with higher growth rate have stronger positive effect on firms’ performance after downsizing than those with lower growth rate. Therefore, the five hypotheses of this study are verified.
The analysis result of this research can be a reference when companies want to take downsizing as their human resource policies.
