What Kind of Higher Education Talents are Needed for the Development of Innovation Economy:An Analysis Based on 11 000 Online Recruitment Information of High-Tech Enterprises
China has established the largest higher education system in the world,yet there remains a misalignment between talent cultivation and innovation-driven development.Based on an analysis of over 11 000 online job postings from high-tech enterprises,this study constructs a higher education talent model suited for the development of an innovative economy.Utilizing content analysis,it further examines the differences in starting salary incentives for various talents.The findings reveal a significantly higher demand for skill-based positions compared to research and development(R&D)and management roles,with R&D positions primarily targeting graduates with master's and doctoral degrees.The skill requirements set by enterprises exhibit a hierarchical pattern,ranging from specialized competencies to innovative thinking abilities,with a clear complementarity in the skills required for different roles.High-tech companies offer higher industry starting salaries to attract targeted talents,yet the internal salary structures within these industries provide limited motivational impact on the innovative drive of graduates with postgraduate degrees.The study suggests that future efforts should focus on further adjusting the structure of higher education,establishing mechanisms for evaluating the value addition to students'capabilities,and refining the innovation support and compensation incentive policies of enterprises.
