The Network Structure Evolution and Distributed Collaborative Governance of China's Health Technology Innovation——Taking the CPT Field as an Example
The joint construction of a technology innovation network with multiple types of innovation units is an important governance concept for the Chinese government to promote the efficiency of health technology innovation.However,it remains to be explored how to identify the diverse joint characteristics.With multi-layer network analysis approach,the paper absorbs the innovation ecosystem theory,and designs a"Pluralism-Collaboration"analytical frame work from the dimensions of technology population and network topology to diagnose the collaborative structure and evolutionary logic of the multiple types of innovation units in China's health science and technology innovation practice.Taking coronavirus prevention and treatment(CPT)as an example,the study finds out that the technology population richness of network continues to increase,and the association of multiple technology populations shows an evolutionary trend from"I-U-R-P"to"G-I-U-R"and then to"G-I-U-R-H-P".The network joint synergy effect is insufficient,and there is a risk of alienation between"Pluralism"and"Collaboration".The network presents an evolution path from"Open-Tight"type to"Closed-Tight"type and then to"Open-Loose"type.Finally,the paper proposes the governance concept of distributed collaboration,and explores the practical path towards"Pluralism-Collaboration"in the CPT technology innovation network in China from the dimensions of manufacture differences,protection differencesand coordination differences.
