Influence of non-R&D innovation expenditure on innovation performance of high technology industries Xie Ziyuan, Huang Wenjun 2015, 36(10): 1-10.  Abstract ( 1069 )   Non-R&D expenditure may have both promotion effect and substitution effect on the innovation performance of high technology industries. The influence of distribution of non-R&D expenditure on innovation performance of high technology industries is empirically studied with the panel data of industries from 1995 to 2012. It is found that non-R&D expenditure on the whole has positive effect on both patent production and sales revenue of new products of high technology industries, among which expenditure for technical renovation mainly has substitution effect on patent production whereas positive effect on new product sales revenue. Outside technology access as a whole has positive effect on patent production, among which expenditure for acquisition of foreign technology has significantly negative effect on patent production, but when considering its synergistic effect with expenditure for assimilation of technology, its promotion effect on patent production appears. Expenditure for assimilation of technology has significantly promotion effect on sales revenue of new products, while expenditure for purchase of domestic technology has significantly positive correlation with patent production.

A comparative study on the evolving pattern of Huawei and Samsung's R&D internationalization based on the USPTO database Liu Fengchao, Ma Yiqun 2015, 36(10): 11-18.  Abstract ( 1201 )   Taking Huawei and Samsung as examples, this paper presents two R&D international indicators that is based on the information of inventor and applicant addresses in the USPTO patent data, and use the indicators to analyze the evolving pattern of their R&D internationalization in two ways: organizational pattern and space-field distribution pattern. The results show that: (1) Samsung chooses "R&D capabilities development mode based on talents or organizations", while Huawei chooses "technology-acquiring mode based on capital". Both modes are in the evolution to the mode that "focuses on both R&D capabilities development and technology-acquiring"; and (2) Regarding space distribution, Samsung realizes the coordination of R&D international collaboration with market access, while there is a spatial mismatch in Huawei. As for the technology field distribution, Samsung's international R&D covers all subfields of ICT, while Huawei concentrates mainly on two subfields of telecommunications, computer and office supplies. On this basis, this paper proposes policy implications for the pattern and strategy selection of latecomer enterprises' R&D internationalization. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Coordination failure, re-matching and development mechanism of cooperative innovation between enterprises and universities - An analysis of cooperative innovation between enterprises and universities based on the panel data of provinces Liu Keyin, Xuan Yong, Chi Renyong 2015, 36(10): 35-43.  Abstract ( 1060 )   On the basis of matching theory and game theory, this paper established a two-stage model of cooperative innovation between enterprises and universities. The model shows that the successful cooperative innovation depends on universities' high R&D efforts and enterprises' high level of equipment investment. However, in a two-stage process of cooperation, coordination failure and high re-matching cost may inhibit investment efforts of both sides, and leading to cooperation failure. Using the panel data of China's inter-provincial cooperative innovation between universities and industrial enterprises, the paper further explore the impact factors which influence the re-matching of collaborative innovation. Econometric analysis showed that the higher proportion of new technology development and investment in a region, the thicker of the university-enterprise cooperation "market". The match cost is low, and the cooperative innovation goes towards a virtuous circle. Meanwhile, the government's funding may reduce the possibility of separation and coordination failure of cooperative innovation between enterprises and universities.

A study on the effect of innovative actors and their interaction on regional innovation capacity Gao Yuejiao, Wu Hecheng 2015, 36(10): 51-57.  Abstract ( 1011 )   The paper employs the method of factor analysis to extract the innovative actor variables, which are multiplied to measure their interaction in order to construct an econometrics model to analyze the effect of innovative actors and their interaction on regional innovation capacity. The results show that the innovative actors, including firms, university-R&D institutions and banks, have a statistically significant positive effect on regional innovation capacity. What's more, firm is the most important key factor in the regional innovation system while bank is the least factor. The interaction of government and firm and the interaction of university-R&D institution and government have a statistically significant positive effect on regional innovation capacity, and the effect of the latter overweighs that of the former, which implies that regional innovation capacity still greatly depends on the cooperation between government and knowledge production organization. The effect of the interaction of university-R&D institution and firm on regional innovation capacity is not statistically remarkable,and it means that the cooperation between university - R&D institution and firm still does not work.

The crowding-out effect and innovation efficiency of government R&D subsidy under institutional constraints Li Yong, Wang Yanping, Ma Yu 2015, 36(10): 58-65.  Abstract ( 935 )   The crowding-out effect possibly influence the effectiveness of government financial support on firms' R&D activity. So far, the related research lack theoretical explanation and quantitative evidence. This paper applies the two-stage econometric model on China's provincial data within 2000-2010. Firstly, based on the SFA model, it finds the crowding-out effect of government R&D subsidy exists because of institutional constraints, and also shows significantly ladder-shaped differences among regions. Secondly, it decomposes innovation efficiency based on the Malmquist DEA approach, and finds out that because of the resource allocation mechanism problem between capital and personnel in R&D, institutional constraints hamper scale efficiency rise via crowing-out effects, andthe restraining result could be weakened by improving it.

A study on job satisfaction and influencing factors of rural migrant workers based on the efficiency wage model Cheng Mingwang, Shi Qinghua, Pan Xuan 2015, 36(10): 113-121.  Abstract ( 941 )   A model of repeated dynamic games with incomplete information was established to study the best decisions of rural migrant workers and business owners. Then, based on 1446 survey samples in Shanghai, the paper employs the emprise analysis to find out thatworking and living environment, personality characteristics,work types, salary and welfare, management system and spiritual life have significant effects on job satisfaction of rural migrant workers in China, and salary and welfare, personality characteristics and spiritual life are core factors. The study also indicates that, at present, factors of job satisfaction of migrant workers in towns are not only material factors such as wages, but also spiritual factors such as urban adaptability. In comparison, the material factor is more significant than the spiritual factor. At the same time, migrant workers still have not certain adaptability for the modern enterprise management system, and they do not pay enough attention to labor protection, labor contract and work welfare. The research is important for enterprises to improve the management of rural migrant worker and reveal the causes of the "Labor Shortage". References | Related Articles | Metrics

Environmental regulation policy and the behavior of enterprises-The evidence from high energy consuming enterprises Zhao Xiaoli, Zhao Yue, Yao Jin 2015, 36(10): 130-138.  Abstract ( 864 )   Environmental regulation is categorized into two broad groups: command and control regulation (CCR), and market-base regulation (MBR). CCR is dominated by compulsory characteristics and it allows managers very little freedom, while MBR does not tell a company what to do but provides a clear set of financial incentives that are designed to influence behavior positively instead. Based on the structural equation modelling (SEM), this paper makes an empirical analysis of the various influences of different types of environmental regulations on the adjustment of firm behavior by using the questionnaires from power industry and iron & steel industry. Results show that the impact of MBR on strategy is much greater than CCR, while the impact of CCR on innovation is much greater than MBR. Since firm strategy has direct impact on other firm behaviors, in general, the influence of CCR on firm behavior is weaker than MBR. Meanwhile, the stronger the industry monopoly is, the more possible a firm will not adopt the adjustment of strategy and production decision. References | Related Articles | Metrics
