社会过滤理论:一个区域创新理论的述评

Social Filter Theory:The Review of a Regional Innovation Theory

社会过滤理论作为区域创新理论的重要分支,可以从社会过滤的概念内涵、构成与测度,社会过滤影响区域创新的机制以及实证研究等四个方面进行系统性的溯源与述评。已有的创新理论多侧重于创新现象表征的描述,缺乏对地方社会条件的关注,而地区社会条件恰是构建成熟创新系统的前提。社会过滤理论强调经济活动的根植性,指出创新活动会受到地方社会、文化及制度因素的制约。这些因素构成的社会过滤条件不仅影响地区创新的产生,也决定成果转化的效率。因此,社会过滤理论研究从根本上揭示了区域创新格局迥异的原因。

As a significant branch of regional innovation theory,this paper will systematically trace the source and commented on the social filter theory four aspects:the concept of social filter,the construction and measurement of indicators of social filter,the mechanism of social filter affecting regional innovation and achievement transformation,empirical research.Existing innovation theories were more focused on the superficial description of the phenomenon of innovation,but lacked of attention to the local social conditions of innovation generation and achievement transformation,which is the premise of constructing innovation ecology.Social filter theory emphasizes that innovation activities are rooted and constrained by local social,cultural and institutional factors.The social filter conditions constituted by these factors not only affect the generation of regional innovation,but also determine the efficiency of achievement transformation.Therefore,the study of social filter theory fundamentally reveals the reasons for the different geography of innovation.
