Research on the Construction of Symbiotic Evaluation System for New R&D Institutions Under Technology-Organization-Environment Framework:Taking the Recognition of 64 New R&D Institutions in Fujian Province as an Example
The current evaluation system for new R&D institutions mainly relies on non-quantitative indicators,focusing on metrics such as the number of scientific research projects obtained and patents filed.This approach fails to adequately highlight the the institutions'capacity for supporting innovation and integrating various innovative elements.Therefore,a more scientific evaluation mechanism is needed.A symbiotic perspective offers valuable insights for addressing complex,multi-level,and dynamic cross-domain issues,making it well-suited for application scenarios involving the evaluation of innovation performance in new R&D institutions.Based on this perspective,a symbiotic degree measurement model for institutional innovation elements is constructed using the technology-organization-environment(TOE)framework.This model incorporates evaluation indicators that emphasize the institutions'ability to acquire innovative resources and support industrial development.The entropy method is employed to calculate the innovation capability scores of each institution.Using a sample of 64 new R&D institutions recognized in the first three batches in Fujian province from 2016 to 2018,this study finds that symbiosis degree has a positive effect on the institutional sustainability and innovation capacity.Institutions with public welfare attributes,located in developed regions,and serving strategic emerging industries exhibit higher symbiotic degrees,therefore their innovation capabilities are also stronger.This indicates that the symbiotic degree can serve as a key indicator for identifying and continuously tracking the performance of new R&D institutions.
