香港地区“卓越学科领域计划”竞争优势的建设机理研究——基于资源基础理论的分析

Study on the Mechanism of Areas of Excellence Projects Competitive Advantage in Hong Kong——An Analysis Based on the Resource-based Theory

为了巩固香港地区研究领域的优势,鼓励大学建设具有国际竞争力的一流学科,中国香港大学教资会于1998年推行“卓越学科领域计划”。基于资源基础理论,组织形成竞争优势要具备有价值、稀缺、不可完全模仿、难以替代等静态资源;组织还应具有动态能力,能够构建、整合或者重新配置其他资源或其他能力。“卓越学科领域计划”在建设过程中,合理利用组织资本、物质与财务资本、人力资本等独特的、异质性的资源,加强组织合作与完善项目管理,形成竞争优势。尽管“卓越学科领域计划”曾面对竞争性过强的质疑,以及与主题研究计划合并的建议,但“卓越学科领域计划”仍继往开来,为香港地区公立大学建设国际一流学科增添光彩。

In order to consolidate the advantages of Hong Kong's research areas and develop it into a first-class discipline with international competitiveness,the UGC of Hong Kong University launched the“Areas of Excellence(AoE)projects”in 1998.Based on the resource-based theory,an organization should have static resources which are valuable,scarce,irreplaceable,and difficult to imitate to form a competitive advantage,and also should have dynamic capabilities that can build,integrate,or reconfigure other resources or other capabilities.In the process of construction,the AoE projects make rational use of unique and heterogeneous resources such as organizational capital,material capital,financial capital,and human capital,strengthen organizational cooperation and improve project management to form a competitive advantage.Although the AoE projects have faced over-competitive doubts and suggestions of merging with the thematic research program,they continue to carry forward the past and have played a powerful role in building a world-class subject for the public universities in Hong Kong.
