A research on the evaluation of strategic module suppliers and management mechanism from the perspective of collaborative innovation Wang Haijun, Feng Junzheng, Zou Hua 2016, 37(3): 1-12.  Abstract ( 985 )   In the Internet age, the involvement of professional suppliers plays a vital role in enterprise innovation. Based on the shortage of existing researches on the mode of suppliers’ involvement in enterprise technology innovation and the evaluation mechanism, this paper firstly discusses the collaborative innovation mode that module suppliers get involved in the end-to-end business process under internet circumstances. Then a fuzzy collaborative evaluation methodology is taken to deal with the evaluation and selection of strategic module supplier. In this methodology, the whole process evaluation indices are defined; a fuzzy number concept is utilized to describe corresponding evaluation value, and then comes to the evaluation from key department representatives of enterprise. Additionally, in order to ensure qualified strategic module supplier in and un-qualified resources out, this paper presents a management mechanism framework featuring “abiding by contract, win-win, profit-sharing, etc.” to promote the sustainable operation of strategic module supplier. Finally, a Qingdao Haier refrigerator case is used to illustrate and verify the feasibility and adaptability of the theory proposed in this paper. Related Articles | Metrics

Technological catch-up, dynamic capabilities and innovation capabilities：A case study of CIMC Tank Container Zheng Gang, Guo Yanting, Luo Guangxiong, Zhao Kai, Liu Chunfeng 2016, 37(3): 31-41.  Abstract ( 1189 )   In the new background of globalization and open innovation, existing studies are not perfectly explainable on the significant changes in the starting point, scope, and speed of catch-up, which we defined as “new model of technological catch-up”. Put differently, it leaves a gap on the mechanism that how innovative capabilities evolve in this context. Based on the dynamic capabilities view, this study conducts a longitudinal case study on China International Marine Containers Group (CIMC), and concludes two main findings. Firstly, technological M&A is increasingly an important way for latecomers to gain leadership by new model of technological catch-up in open innovation era, and to develop innovative capability fleetly. Secondly, dynamic capabilities can compensate for the weakness in innovative capability, and promote innovative capability base, upgrading and systematization. Dynamic capabilities itself develops together with higher level catch-up. As for contribution, it fleshes out the lacunae of capability evolution mechanism, and extends the application of dynamic capabilities view. It also sheds light on the experience of a successful latecomer, as reference to other firms. Related Articles | Metrics

Regional difference analysis and its driving factors decomposition on the allocation ability of agricultural science and technology Chen Qiqi, Zhang Junbiao, Cheng Linlin, Li Zhaoliang 2016, 37(3): 110-123.  Abstract ( 786 )   PDF   The fairness of agricultural science and technology resources allocation is significant for improvement of agricultural science and technology resources allocation ability. This paper analyzed the regional difference on the allocation capacity of agricultural science and technology resources in China, and then we decomposed its influence factors with Dagum Gini index. The results showed that, firstly, there was significant difference in agricultural science and technology resource allocation ability. 17 provinces had a decline trend in agricultural science and technology resource allocation ability. In the 6 ecological districts, the allocation ability of agricultural science and technology resources also were on the decline trend in northeast and northwest areas. However, other 4 districts had an increase tendency. Secondly, on the whole, there was a decreasing tendency in the fairness of agricultural science and technology resources allocation. But it showed remarkable different trend in different time stages. Thirdly, no matter inside one area or between districts, agricultural science and technology resources allocation fairness had significant difference. And the difference between districts was the main source leading to the difference in national agricultural science and technology resources allocation ability.  Related Articles | Metrics

Interdisciplinary measurement research based on Web of Science classification Huang Ying, Gao Tianshu, Wang Zhinan, Wang Xuefeng, Alan L. Porter, Zhu Donghua 2016, 37(3): 124-132.  Abstract ( 1012 )   Under the background of global knowledge economy, the depth and breadth of interdisciplinary research activity has become an essential factor in the innovation process, which generates an important impact on the macro-economy development and academic growth. In the paper, we firstly review the existing interdisciplinary measurement research at home and abroad. Based on the Web of Science Classification of Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) provided by ISI Thomson Reuters, we propose the Specialization Index, Integration Index and Diffusion Index to measure the inter-disciplinarity of certain research, and a science mapping visualization method to present the distribution characteristics of interdisciplinary research. Finally, taking the publications of Nobel Prize winners in Physics from 2005 to 2014 as examples, we carry out the empirical research on the established index to figure out the interdisciplinary research characteristic of these well-known scholars. The results indicate that the innovative achievements of physics have obvious subject characteristics; the research publication of the Nobel Prize winner generally focuses on the physical science field; both integration degree and diffusion degree are still in a lower level.
