Abstract

The structural dilemma of "high yield but low harvest" in university science and technology has long troubled academia and government departments, but this common perception is misleading. The root cause lies in differing understandings of "achievements":in the broad sense of scientific and technological achievement transformation, achievements include both scientific knowledge from basic research and technological outcomes from applied research. In contrast, the narrow understanding only focuses on transforming technological achievements, ignoring the knowledge spillover value of scientific achievements, which leads to systematic biases in evaluating university technology transformation. Based on panel data from 2015 to 2022, this study used the DEA-Malmquist index model to measure the efficiency of university scientific and technological achievement transformation, especially analyzing the efficiency differences between the "knowledge production" and "technology transformation" stages. Through an econometric model, it empirically examined the mechanism and path of transformation policies on the transformation efficiency of these two types of achievements, and found that:1)Policies for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements have significantly improved the transformation efficiency of university scientific and technological achievements, and policy intervention plays a positive role in optimizing the innovation ecosystem;2)The impacts of policy tools on transformation efficiency show obvious stage differences. The efficiency improvement effect in the economic transformation stage is significantly higher than that in the knowledge production stage, presenting a policy effect characterized by "strong at the back end and weak at the front end";3)The effects of different policy tools are significantly heterogeneous across university types and characteristics. Non-science and engineering universities have more urgent demand and higher responsiveness to resource supply policies, and such policies have a more prominent effect on promoting knowledge production; 4)Collaborative innovation policies act as an "accelerator" for improving the transformation efficiency of scientific and technological achievements in science and engineering universities, which can more effectively promote technological transformation and realize industrial value. In the future, targeted policies should be implemented according to the characteristics of different university types and the two-stage differences in achievement transformation. Differentiated policy combinations at different levels and categories should be formulated to build a policy ecosystem of "targeted empowerment and precise implementation", so as to further enhance the overall performance and innovation effectiveness of university scientific and technological achievement transformation.

Abstract

科技成果转化是新产品乃至新产业的基础，是经济增长的重要机制。如何优化科技成果转化政策以促进区域成果转化是有待回答的重要问题。鉴于中国不同层级政府网络间的政策体系以及区域技术资源等差异产生了复杂的成果转化条件，本文立足整合视角框架，综合运用CFA和fsQCA方法，使用中国湖北、广东、上海、浙江四个地区160家转移机构的调查数据，基于地区技术资源和机构组织情境，检验了政策供给、政策协调、技术来源、机构实力、身份自洽5个条件对成果转化成效的组态效应，以及不同组态对转化成效的影响。研究发现：（1）单个成果转化要素条件并不构成成果转化高成效产生的必要条件，但是政策协调在产生成果转化高成效上发挥着关键作用；（2）任何一种理论视角都无法充分地解释成果转化，无论是制度视角，还是资源视角或组织视角，综合不同的视角才能够提供合乎情理的解释。（3）3种成果转化条件组态可以产生高成效，分别是政策供给的中介实力型、政策协调的技术资源型和政策协调的身份自洽型。不同的条件组合代表成果转化高成效实现的不同方式。本文也分析了4种导致成果转化非高成效的组态，它们均呈现出政策条件要素的缺失。本文从整合组态视角探究资源与组织背景下科技成果转化政策供给、政策协调对于科技成果转化成效的影响，研究发现对揭示中国科技成果转化高成效的政策条件实现路径具有重要的理论与实践意义。

Abstract

结合超效率SBM模型和模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）法，以中国内地25个省级行政区政府科研机构为样本，探讨科技资源配置结构、配置方式和配置环境对省级政府科研机构科技资源配置效率提升的组态效应。研究发现：①单个要素不构成高科技资源配置效率的必要条件，但基础研究强度在科技资源配置效率提升方面发挥了较为普遍的作用；②5种组态均可带来高科技资源配置效率，分别为由基础研究构成的基础研究型组态；由基础研究和应用研究构成的科学研究型组态；由基础研究、计划配置和区域开放度构成的基础研究—环境型组态；由基础研究、市场配置、计划配置、产学研合作水平和区域开放度构成的基础研究—平衡型组态；由应用研究、产学研合作水平和区域开放度构成的应用研究—环境型组态。其中，基础研究型组态和基础研究—平衡型组态在提升科技资源配置效率方面更有效；③我国东西部地区政府科研机构科技资源配置效率提升路径存在显著差异。据此，提出各地区政府科研机构应“因地制宜”地采取匹配路径和针对性措施，以有效提升科技资源配置效率。

Understanding the nature of the involvement of faculty in university licensing is important for understanding how technology is transferred through licensing as well as more controversial issues, such as the need for university licensing. Using data from a survey of firms that actively license in from universities, the authors explore the importance of faculty in the licensing and development of inventions, as well as how and why they are used and how the use of faculty relates to characteristics of firms. In particular, the authors find that the use of faculty through sponsored research in lieu of a license is closely related to the amount of basic research conducted by firms, whereas the use of faculty within the terms of a license is related to the prevalence of personal contacts between industry research and development researchers and university faculty.
