企业多元化产学研知识互动的影响因素——基于广东省制造企业的实证研究

Research on the Impacting Factors of Diversified Industry-university-research Institution Knowledge Interactions: Evidence from Manufacturing Firms in Guangdong Province

为探索产业特性、内部研发活动、创新策略和知识属性对多元化产学研知识互动的影响,对广东省清溪镇所有规模以上企业进行调研,获得166家企业参与14种产学研知识互动情况的数据。根据现有研究,将多元化产学研知识互动形式分为合作研究、人员流动、研究服务与支持和科研成果商业化4类。研究结果表明,高技术产业在人员流动、研究服务与支持和科研成果商业化上的参与程度比非高技术产业高,但在合作研究上两者并无差异。企业内部研发活动和探索型创新策略对4类产学研知识互动的程度都有正向影响。另外,企业所需知识的属性也会影响企业参与多元化的产学研知识互动。

The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of sectoral characteristics, in - house R＆D activities, innovation strategies and nature of knowledge on firms＇ engagement in varied knowledge interactions. Based on a survey of all above - scale manufacturing firms at Qingxi Town of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, we gathered data on 14 university - in- dustry- research institution knowledge interaction channels from the samples of 166 manufacturing firms. We have distin- guished four types of knowledge interaction channels, namely collaborative R＆D, human mobility, R＆D services and sup- port and commercialization of research results. The findings show that firms in high - tech industries engage more deeply in human mobility, R＆D support and services and commercialization of research results channels than those in non - high - tech industries, but there is no difference in the two sectors of collaborative R＆D channels. Besides, the results show that there are positive correlations between the four channels and in -house R＆D and explorative innovation strategy. At last, we find that nature of knowledge acquired from external sources can influence the propensity of firms to engage diversified channels.
