论大学在创新系统演化过程中的主体功能及其实现路径

The Dominant Function and Implementation Path of University in the Evolutionary Process of Innovation System

过去三十年来,创新系统的演化从最初单向度的线性模式转为非线性模式,创新的集群效应则在现实层面为大学构建创新系统中的主体功能提供了新的路径,特别是随着创新主体之间合作规模的扩大与合作形式的多样化,创新集群的出现表明了创新系统内不同机构主体之间交互作用的增加,而大学在创新集群中则体现出了要素之间的关联以及区域创新网络形式存在的特征。这种复杂漫长的演化过程不仅促成了充满动态性、开放式、协作式的创新网络的形成,同时也建构了知识社会中高等教育机构参与创新的新形态。对我国的大学来讲,自身的变革路径将以文化的形塑、市场的参与、制度的建构为核心,以鼓励创新和自由探索的大学精神建构自身在创新系统演化过程中的关键性制度主体功能。

During the past 30 years,the evolution of innovation system has been transformed from one dimensional linear model into non-linear model. The emergence of innovation cluster has also provided a new path for university to build the dominant function in the innovation system. Especially with the expansion of scale and the diversification of cooperation forms among innovative subjects,this long and complicated evolutionary process has not only promoted a formation of dynamic,open-ended,collaborative innovation network,but also constructed a new form for universities in a knowledge-based society. The future change path of Chinese universities will focus on the culture shaping,market participation and institution construction. Correspondingly,the key institutional dominant function in the evolutionary process of innovation system must be built with the university spirit which concentrates on innovation and free exploration.
