Multiple Institutional Logic Conflicts and Harmonization in Municipal Industry-education Consortia
Municipal industry-education consortia are a crucial measure to solve the last kilometer problem of industry-education integration in China.By analyzing the multiple institutional logics affecting the construction of municipal industry-education consortia from the perspective of institutional logic theory,it is concluded that the construction and operation of municipal industry-education consortia involve both government logic,market logic,educational logic,social logic,and park logic.Different institutional logics present certain tension and contradictory conflicts during the development of citywide industry-education consortia,mainly manifested as differentiated value orientations of multiple stakeholders,ambiguous role positioning,policy formulation,and implementation being two-dimensionally discrete,and superficial school-enterprise cooperation.Therefore,finding a balance point between conflicting logic and coordinating them is a possible path to enhance the effectiveness of citywide industry-education consortia.First,we should construct public values and respond to the interests of multiple stakeholders;second,vertically build and horizontally connect to improve the governance effectiveness of the consortium;third,innovate policy implementation models to implement policy details;and finally,stay focused on focal points and gather resources to optimize school-enterprise cooperation.
