Perspectives on Provincial Differences in the Comprehensive Competitiveness of Applied Undergraduate Colleges and Universities——Based on Statistics of 695 Institutions in China
The balanced development of applied undergraduate colleges and universities is not only an inevitable requirement for the overall balanced development of higher education but also an objective need to promote the balanced economic and social development of various regions.The comprehensive competitiveness of 695 applied undergraduate colleges and universities in China is measured by the FAHP-entropy weighting method and weighted TOPSIS model.The provincial differences in samples are measured by using the Theil coefficient,and finally,the influencing factors of the formation of the differences are analyzed by using a multiple regression model.The study finds that the competitiveness of applied undergraduate colleges and universities has a large provincial difference in development level,and the national difference mainly comes from the internal difference of the four major regions:the level and rate of economic development in the region,the population size and mobility status,and the num-ber of research-oriented universities are the important influencing factors.In addition,the influence of regional policies on the development of applied undergraduate colleges and universities should not be ig-nored.It is suggested that local governments give full play to macro-control means,provide policy guidance and resource support for the development of applied undergraduate colleges and universities,optimize the resource allocation structure of research-oriented universities and applied undergraduate colleges and universities,pay attention to the development of private colleges and universities,and cre-ate a good policy environment for the development of private colleges and universities.Applied under-graduate colleges and universities should deepen the integration of industry and education and school-enterprise cooperation and innovate the talent cultivation mode.
