How to Cross and Fuse Boundaries:The Innovative Mechanism of Organized Scientific Research in American Research Universities
Crossing the boundaries of power,resources and disciplines is the essence and key point to strengthen the organized scientific research of research universities,which has a profound impact on the scientific and technological innovation of the United States.An analytical framework of"the governance of cross-vertical boundary,the governance of cross-horizontal boundary,and the governance of cross-disciplinary boundary"has been built based on the theory of boundaryless organization.The analysis of 9 American national laboratories shows that under the guidance of the action logic of cross-boundary's fusion,American national laboratories have formed an open space and innovation system led by top-down national strategic needs and embedded by multi-agents.In this system,relying on the multiple cross-boundary organizational structure of cross-vertical governance structure,cross-horizontal collaboration area and interdisciplinary innovation units,American research universities have adopted diverse contractual and relational governance strategies about allocating and equilibrating power,correlating and sharing interest,and promoting consensus negotiation and cultural integration.These strategies are used to reconcile the contradiction of power game,interest imbalance,cultural conflict and other tensions in the process of crossing organizational boundaries,which created a magnificent environment for the development of organized scientific research in American research universities.
