Abstract

By adopting the applied cooperative patents and transferred information patents of China′s universities and colleges in its economically developed regions, most of which are located in the east coastal area from the year 2000 to 2015, and by means of the entropy method, social network analysis method as well as the typical case analysis method, this paper takes Guangzhou City as an example to study the spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics and mechanism patterns of technological innovation spillovers about China′s universities and colleges in its economically developed regions.
The research has come out some results that can be sorted out as follow. First of all, according to the results of social network analysis method, the technological innovation cooperation spillover of China′s universities and colleges in its economically developed regions has shown a strong preference for the spatial proximity, and comparing with technological innovation cooperation spillover, the spatial sensitivity of technological innovation spillover is much smaller in China′s economic developed areas. At the same time, the results of this paper have also shown that the organizational lock-in effect of technological innovation spillover is more strong in China′s economic developed areas.
Secondly, according to the results of entropy method and from the view of the ability of technological slipover, this paper has shown that the ability of technological slipover of China′s universities and colleges in its economically developed regions continues to grow steadily. At the same time, this paper also indicates that the technological innovation cooperative spillover phenomenon has the characteristics of continuity and progressiveness as well as the characteristic of obvious cyclical hysteresis in China′s economic developed areas. Besides, from the aspects of the 31 provinces in China, the ability of those 31 provinces of absorbing technological innovation spillovers from the economically developed regions in China has shown a significantly positive correlation when takes their GDP into consideration of the 31 provinces mentioned above. When it comes to the traffic distance, the ability to absorb technological innovation spillovers of the 31 provinces in China has a negative correlation on traffic distance, but it shows that the result is not so significant at all.
Thirdly, according to the results of typical case analysis method, in the views of the technology innovation spillover mechanism patterns, there are eight kinds of technology innovation spillover mechanism patterns which are suitable for China′s universities and colleges in those economically developed regions. These patterns mentioned above include traditional direct cooperation pattern, joint research and development pattern, academic business start-up pattern, alumni promote cooperation pattern, university-run enterprises cooperation pattern, co-construction platform cooperation pattern, university and local government cooperation pattern as well as the university industry management cooperation pattern and so on.
But this paper also puts its key emphasis on the development needs for the enterprises about the 31 provinces in China, which is the main factor to promote the spillover of technological innovation for China′s universities and colleges in economically developed regions.
