Will Synergy of Science-Technology Policy Goals Promote the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements?Based on the Text Big Data of Science-Technology Policies
The transformation of scientific and technological (S&T) achievements is the ultimate link in the innovation process and the driving force for cultivating new quality productivity. To successfully trans-form S&T achievements,it is necessary to challenge issues such as lack of funding,technological matching,and industrialization modes of S&T achievements,while synergy of science-technology policy goals is a key measure to solve these problems. Thus,clarifying the impact and mechanism of synergy of science-techno-logy policy goals on the transfer and industrialization of S&T achievements has theoretical and practical signi-ficance.Based on the science-technology policy texts of 31 provinces and cities in Chinese Mainland,this paper constructs the degree of science-technology policy goal synergy,and combs its impact and mechanism on the transfer and industrialization of S&T achievements. The results show that:The synergy of science-technology policy goals has a significant promoting effect on the transfer of S&T achievements,but its promoting effect on the industrialization of S&T achievements is not significant. The three types of policy goals in science-tech-nology policies have a direct and synergistic effect on the transfer of S&T achievements,but have a limited ef-fect on the industrialization of S&T achievements. The synergy of science-technology policy goals has a posit-ive impact on the transformation of S&T achievements through the effects of science-technology intermediary organizational capability enhancement and industry-university-research quality optimization,and it has a greater impact on the transfer and industrialization of S&T achievements in areas with weaker knowledge ab-sorption capabilities. Further analysis finds that the promoting effect on the transformation of S&T achieve-ments is more significant in regions with lower proportion of state-owned capital and a higher level of eco-nomic integration.The main contributions of this paper are as follows:(1) It establishes a theoretical framework for the syn-ergy of science-technology policy goals on the transformation of S&T achievements,expanding the research level of policy synergy. (2) It distinguishes the different processes of the transformation of S&T achievements and provides theoretical evidence for the process management to a certain extent,enriching the connotation of the transformation of S&T achievements in existing research. (3) It explores the method of studying the syn-ergy of science-technology policy goals from the perspective of science-technology policy content,paying at-tention to the quantity,intensity,and types of science-technology policies. (4) It reveals the heterogeneous ef-fect of the market environment with Chinese characteristics,providing theoretical references for improving the effectiveness of science-technology policies and promoting the transformation of S&T achievements.
