Analyzing Modes of Inter-organizational Nexus between Universities and Research Institutes from the Perspectives of Symbiosis Theory
Drawing on the symbiosis theory,the universities-research institutes nexus in major countries can be categorized into three modes:contractual symbiosis,strategic symbi-osis,and homologous symbiosis.Contractual symbiosis is represented by MIT-managed Lin-coln Laboratory,which achieves synergy in education and innovation resources through con-tractual agreements.Strategic symbiosis is exemplified by"Université Paris-Saclay",which fosters united developmental goals through national strategies.Homologous symbiosis is re-presented by the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences,which forms a unified develop-ment and governance strategy through natural genetic ties.To promote inter-organizational nexus,it is necessary to clarify functions and positions of parties involved,comply values of"co-construction,sharing,and mutual benefit",improve the system and mechanism design,and promote complementary advantages between science and education.
