Research on the Mechanism of Innovation Consortium Co-constructed by Enterprise from S&T Self-reliance and Self-improvement Perspective
Achieving science and technology(S&T)self-reliance and self-improvement is the key to Chinese path to modernization.Innovation consortium is the main driver to strengthen the innovation position of enterprise,build a strong science and technology country,and develop new quality productivity.However,little attention has been paid to uncover the differentiated operational mechanism and the process mechanism of promoting S&T innovation of enterprise-involved co-construction innovation consortia.What's more,current literature neglects to systematically sorted out the experience and models of enterprise-involved co-construction innovation consortia in strengthening the systematic synergy of national strate-gic S&T forces,solving major national needs,and breaking through the"neck"of key core technologies.To fill these gaps,based on the strategic demand of the construction of a strong S&T country,this paper adopts a multi-case study approach based on the theory of new national innovation system,and analyzes the models and construction paths of enterprise-led innovation consortia,enterprise-involved university-led innovation consortia and enterprise-involved government-led innovation consortia,from multiple dimensions such as formation mode,governance mechanism,R&D and technology transfer mode.Then it refines the theoretical framework of enterprise-involved co-construction innovation con-sortia.To be specific,the governance structure of enterprise-involved co-construction innovation consortia is basicallya di-rector or dean responsibility system under the leadership of the council.The decision-making body is a council or a manage-ment committee basically,and its composition includes government representatives,enterprise representatives,representa-tives of universities and research institutes,experts and scholars,etc.The unit nature of the innovation consortium operating physically is basically an institution with independent legal personality or a non-independent legal entity innovation organi-zation.In terms of employment mechanism,assessment mechanism,incentive mechanism and talent cultivation mechanism,there are significant differences between innovation consortia formed in different ways.Based on the above-mentioned research,this study refines the theoretical framework of the innovation consortium with efficient collaboration among multiple subjects such as enterprises,universities and institutes,and government under the per-spective of S&T self-reliance and self-improvement.Specifically,high level S&T self-reliance and self-improvement is the mission of the innovation consortium.The innovation consortium is mainly built through the collaboration of leading enter-prises,universities and institutes,and the government,focusing on promoting the systematic collaboration of multiple sub-jects in the national strategic S&T force.Mechanism innovation is an important institutional guarantee for the innovation consortium.During the construction process,the innovation consortium can effectively grasp the opportunity of con-text-driven innovation paradigm,face the real strategic needs of a strong S&T nation,regional high-quality development needs,common industrial needs,individualized needs of enterprises and other diversified contexts,and accelerate the gathering of innovation elements,main body synergy,innovation output and achievement transformation.Finally,the innova-tion consortium can effectively promote the comprehensive integration and development of policy chain,innovation chain,talent chain,industry chain and capital chain.The results show that innovation consortium can effectively enhance and leverage the primary role of enterprises in S&T innovation,continuously drive key core technology breakthroughs through diversified contexts.Innovation consortium can empower the deep integration of S&T innovation with industrial innovation through high-quality technological supply and efficient technology transformation,and accelerate the development of new quality productivity.This study provides important policy insights to further support enterprises to lead the construction of high-level innova-tion consortia,accelerate the supply of key core technologies,address major national strategic needs,and improve the inde-pendence,indigenous,and security of national development.First,the paradigm shift of innovation consortium formation from the traditional paradigm to the new paradigm should be accelerated.Second,the institutional mechanism of S&T inno-vation should be improved and the systematic layout of innovation consortia should be strengthened.Third,the government should strengthen the guarantee mechanism in terms of strategic guidance,organizational synergy and talent support,pro-vide stable guarantee for the leading S&T enterprises to lead the formation of innovation consortia and carry out organized scientific research,and promote the organic integration of multiple forces of government,society and market.Fourth,the government needs to formulate and improve the guiding opinions on the distribution of benefits,ownership of property rights,and protection of intellectual property rights in innovation consortia,and encourage innovation subjects to go beyond single economic interests sharing and result sharing to extensive and deep knowledge sharing,experience sharing and infor-mation sharing.
