Study on the evolvement and synergy mechanism of technology transfer system in China Wang Liangbing, Hong Jin, Zhao Dingtao 2014, 35(5): 1-8.  Abstract ( 1554 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2175 )   This paper reviews the evolution of technology transfer system as the logical starting point, and analyzes the content, feature and mechanism of technology transfer system in China. We divide the technology transfer system into five subsystems from a longitudinal perspective, and use composite system synergy degree model to measure the state of China's technology transfer system's evolution. The paper finds out that technology transfer system has a good evolvement trend, but the overall level is low, and its weak links are technological intermediary system and technological diffusion system, indicating that if we only focus on the development of the individual subsystems and ignore other subsystems,it will be difficult to realize the coordinated development of the technology transfer system. Finally, we tentatively construct technology transfer coordination mechanism, and provide some implications to technology transfer activities in our country. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Protective patent examination mechanism and options of patent strategy between Chinese and foreign firms：Based on the perspective of patent grant and provisional life Zhang Gupeng, Wang Chongfeng 2014, 35(5): 9-18.  Abstract ( 1414 )   Since there is a large innovation capability gap between China and developed countries, China implements protective patent examination mechanism, which facilitates domestic firms to get patent right easier and sooner. Foreign firms need to wait longer to get patent right, and it is more difficult for foreign firms to get patent right. We examine the effect of patent examination mechanism from perspective of patent grant and provisional life. By analyzing the technology monopoly effect of patent protection, we find that protective patent examination mechanism prevents foreign firms from implementing patent competition strategy. However, compared with domestic firms, foreign firms pay more attention to the market income mobilization of patent, hence they tend to extend patents' provisional life. Since protective patent examination mechanism further extends patent provisional life of foreign firms, it is more beneficial for foreign firms to implement patent market strategy. On the other hand, since it is easier for domestic firms to get patent right, large number of patents with low level of technology and low market income are granted, which increases firms' patent renewal fee. Therefore, from the perspective of patent strategy, protective patent examination mechanism is not fully beneficial to domestic firms. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The study on the path of improvement in China’s regional innovation efficiency from the perspective of innovation value chain Yu Yongze, Liu Dayong 2014, 35(5): 27-37.  Abstract ( 1524 )   This paper divides the innovation process into knowledge innovation, research and development innovation and product innovation, and uses the three stage DEA model to study the innovative efficiency with the perspective of innovation value chain. This research shows that knowledge innovation efficiency is 0.582, the R&D innovation efficiency is 0.284 and the product innovation efficiency is 0.529. Meanwhile the efficiencies of eastern region are significantly higher than the central and western regions, especially in R&D innovation efficiency. Based on the conclusion above, this paper takes advantage of two-dimensional matrix to classify the regional innovation efficiency into four types for every innovative stage and finds that different regions should choose its appropriate innovation efficiency promotion path according to their own advantages and disadvantages.

Research on environment governance mechanism based on structure and technology Li Kun 2014, 35(5): 54-61.  Abstract ( 1215 )   The performance of Environment strategy implementation in most enterprises is not ideal due to the control and regulation mechanism and match efficiency. Combining with the intricate context formed by driving origins, governance objects and governance paths, this paper adopted context analytic method to analyze comparatively the suitability of different complex governance under hybrid driving mechanism. The paper's research found out as follows: owing to the communication deficiency between government and enterprise, the anticipation that effective governance mechanism could be mixedlybreeded by market and administration control displays bigger occasionality, and the uncertainty of governance effect would render enterprise have not enough motivation to implement active environment strategy. Duplication dynamic evolution study proved the choice of environment governance path is strategic and depends on decision maker's risk attitude. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The impact of absorptive capacity on product innovativeness Su Zhongfeng, Li Jia 2014, 35(5): 62-69.  Abstract ( 1647 )   PDF (1KB) ( 1934 )   As minor improvements on extant products can hardly ensure its competitive advantage, a firm needs to develop highly innovative products. Product innovativeness is highly related to the knowledge committed into the new product development process. Absorptive capacity enables to introduce external new knowledge into the new product development process, thus it may impact product innovativeness. Yet, few studies have investigated this issue. This study investigates the relationship between absorptive capacity and product innovativeness as well as the potential mediating effect of knowledge creation capability on this relationship. Based on a data set of 212 firms, this study finds that absorptive capacity has an inverted U-shaped impact on both product innovativeness and knowledge creation capability, knowledge creation capability positively impacts product innovativeness, and knowledge creation capability mediates the relationship between absorptive capacity and product innovativeness.

Government intervention, property pattern and capital investment Zhao Jing, Hao Ying 2014, 35(5): 84-92.  Abstract ( 1778 )   PDF (1KB) ( 1880 )   Based on explanation and motivation of government intervention in enterprise investment activities, this paper studies the effect of government intervention, property characteristics on enterprise investment efficiency. The results show that: (1) Overall, the government intervention exacerbated overinvestment, but cannot ease underinvestment. (2) Due to property control characteristics, the influence of government intervention on the efficiency of business investment is different. Overinvestment of local state-owned enterprises and underinvestment of private enterprises have maximum sensitivity of the government's intervention. (3) The government intervention ease underinvestment of state-owned enterprises is the results of government investment expansion motivation, and raises the whole investment rate. (4) Further study found out that in the high government intervention area, between overinvestment of the local state-owned enterprises has significant positive correlation to the market value; on the contrary, in the area where marketization develops faster, private enterprise investment has a negative market reaction. As the investment efficiency and value effect are not coincident, the government intervention is a kind of substitution mechanism of market economic transition process.

Empirical study on the relationship among ownership structures, cognitive diversity of top management team and entrepreneurial strategic orientation Yang Lin 2014, 35(5): 93-106.  Abstract ( 1688 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2003 )   Using panel data on the listed companies of the China's Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Board for 2006-2010 period, the article empirically examined the effects of cognitive diversity of top management team (TMT) on entrepreneurial strategic orientation (ESO), as well as the moderating effects of ownership structures including ownership concentration and equity restriction. The empirical results indicated that, except for the TMT's diversity of educational background, the diversities of TMT's age and tenure have significantly positive effects on age and tenure diversities ESO. Further, ownership concentration has significantly negative effect on the age and tenure diversities as well as negatively moderating effects on the relationship between these variables and ESO, but the direct effect and moderating effect of equity restriction is found to be positive. However, both ownership concentration and equity restriction don't have significantly moderating effect on TMT's age and tenure diversities and ESO. These findings have some theoretical and practical implications for optimizing ownership structure, building TMT and designing ESO within corporate. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Mechanism of residual control rights and special control rights allocation under two kinds ofcontrol structure in venture capital-backed firms: Based on the perspective of financial instruments-supported two-stage investment Wang Lei 2014, 35(5): 107-117.  Abstract ( 1728 )   This paper analyzes the type and benefits of control right in venture capital-backed firms, as well as the corresponding relationship between them. In order to put exclusiveness and specificity of human capital, investment specificity and trust into a unified analysis framework, this paper establishes a control rights shared benefits function. The paper establishes a model of two kinds of control rights allocation in two-stage Investment and two kinds of control structure under the support of financial instruments, and uses the software of Mathematica for data simulation of theory model analysis. The study shows that, because of the difference among benefits of control rights, which obtained by entrepreneurs and investors under two kinds of control structure, the key factors exist significant differences mechanism on residual control right allocation, but the effect on the allocation of specific control right is similarity. The specific performance is that, with the increasing improvement of firm performance and innovation project success probability, there are nonlinear relationship between specificity of human capital, investment specificity and trust with the investor obtains the residual of control right, which is first increased and then decreased in joint control, and first decreased and then increased in contingent control. There are nonlinear relationship between exclusiveness of human capital with the investor obtains the residual of control right, which is first decreased and then increased in joint control, and first increased and then decreased in contingent control.

The effect of inclusive leadership on team performance：Based on the mediating effect of self-efficacy Fang Yangchun 2014, 35(5): 152-160.  Abstract ( 2628 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2479 )   Leadership has a significant effect on the team performance. This study defines a relational leadership-inclusive leadership, investigates its effect on team performance, and analyzes the mediating effect of self-efficacy between inclusive leadership and team performance. By means of questionnaire surveys and statistical analysis, we conclude that inclusive leadership is composed of three dimensions-being inclusive with the opinions and failures of employees, recognizing and training the employees as well as fair treatment of team members. The inclusive leadership has significant positive correlation with team performance. Recognizing and training the employees as well as fair treatment of team members have significant positive impacts on task performance. All the three dimensions of inclusive leadership have significant positive impacts on contextual performance. Being inclusive with the opinions and failures of employees as well as fair treatment of team members affects the self-efficacy significantly, which then obviously affects the task performance and contextual performance of the team. The self-efficacy plays part mediating role between fair treatment of team members and task performance of the team, and full mediating role between being inclusive with the opinions and failures of employees and the contextual performance of the team.
