The InfoTech 100

That's great, 18 Taiwan corporations are inside the list, even two of them are in top 10. Actually, I think there are two major reasons to create the good IT in Taiwan. The first, many employers in IT will give the stock to the employees so the average salary of the receivers are much higher than the average. The second, because of the first, the IT can engage many superior graduated students and they are willing to work hard and overtime. Recently the lawmakers had worked out a new law that have a big impact on the stock policy. Most engineers could get stock option from the employers instead of the stock directly. The influence is unknown now.
