Abstract	Information technology (IT) has become the popular industries in Taiwan, and more and more researches focused on the commercial products related to IT-topics. The study wishes to understand the trend of the new product development (NPD) in Taiwan via academic research works. We explore the related-factors between the creators and new products and analyse the relationships. Many designers in enterprises were graduated from the related design departments in Taiwan. Some of the graduate students are already experienced designers from industry before they enter the gradate program, and, in their thesis, write about the problems encountered in their industrial work. Analysing the content of their research works may reveal the trend of design. Most graduate students focus their researches on potential product issues or the undeveloped functions of some commercial product design (CPD) at the design departments in Taiwan. The study wishes to explore the increasing or decreasing trend of the product developments and make some explanations for those issues. As the works in thesis are mostly the result of deep reflection for the future or the past, they are good place to find the potential change of trend. This is not the same as polling the mass population to find the current trend of design. So the study analyses the thesis stored in the digital library in Taiwan to analyse the progresses and changes over past decades. The study uses the content analysis (CA) methodology to collect the thesis of National Central Library in Taiwan and classifies the researching-issues based on the paper-title. Based on its IT-influence , we classified the thesis into five classifications(i.e. original, IT-involved, IT-extended, IT- system and IT-related). The goals of the study aims to find the trend of the academic researches toward IT-related issues and offer the summary finally.
