Research On The Rise And Development Of Entrepreneurial University

Nowadays, the position of the universities as knowledge-intensive organizations has changed from the social marginal mechanism to the axis of economic society. Universities are undertaking the task of technological innovation and radiation in the regional and social development. Innovative Nation Strategy has posed new challenges for universities, thus the universities should really undertake the important mission of knowledge and technology innovation and they should continually increase their spillover ability of knowledge and change the current situation of the low conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements. Universities should also deepen renovations and seek a new kind of paradigm revolution in order to realize universities' leap - firogged development. The sudden appearance of American entrepreneurial universities, the myth of "Silicon Valley" and the myth of " 128 Highway Legend" followed by it offer the new referential space to us.The grow-up of entrepreneurial universities, a practical model of university based on newly integrated ideas, is not only an important phenomenon of higher education but the focus of discussion in recent years. In order to do further research on entrepreneurial universities, this thesis combines management studies with Higher Education, organizational behavior study, etc. and applies comparative analysis method, case analysis method, statistical analysis method and the method of combining theory with practice.The thesis discusses the evolutionary process of university-functions along with the development of the society and the expansion of university-function. With the continual and further development of the social service function, universities gradually walk out of the ivory tower and actively take part in the enterprise activities such as the consultation for enterprise and government, transference of patents, the set-up of enterprise, etc. Universities present the entrepreneurial characteristics gradually, and a new model of the development of universities, i.e. entrepreneurial universities. The thesis analyzes the internal and external causes of the rising of entrepreneurial universities and it also discusses the connotation and characteristics of entrepreneurial universities. Based on the successful models of American entrepreneurial universities and the previous researches, it also analyzes the differences and relationships between entrepreneurial universities and other types of universities.The flourishing and rising university enterprise lays a solid foundation for the creation of entrepreneurial universities. The more abundant entrepreneurial activities the entrepreneurial universities are engaged in, the stronger entrepreneurial ability they will have. Based on the methods of Delphi Expert Evaluation, Factor Analysis, Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis etc, this thesis constructs evaluation system of the entrepreneurial ability of Chinese research universities from three dimensions - knowledge creation, knowledge transmission and knowledge application, and the research subjects are 34 universities which are the first-period project of "985" in our country.Guided by Triple Helix Model-university push, government drive, and enterprise induction, it analyzes the different roles played by entrepreneurial universities in the development regional innovation. This analysis, based on the analysis of the differences and similarities of entrepreneurial universities in Europe and America, combined with the actual condition of Chinese universities, demonstrates the advantages of research universities over other types of universities in the process of transferring to the entrepreneurial universities. Through analyzing self-development of three universities: Tsinghua University, Nanjing University and Dalian University of Technology, and also through the comparative analysis of foreign entrepreneurial universities, the thesis discusses the necessity and the feasibility of research universities developing to the entrepreneurial universities. At the same time, in order to accord with the growing drive of our government, vital existence of scientific research colleges and institutes as well as the construction of entrepreneurial country, this thesis suggests industry-college- institute model be implemented, based on research universities with the guidance of government policies.It goes on to put forward the concrete inner-system construction measures of entrepreneurial universities from three dimensions of knowledge transmit system, knowledge creation system and knowledge application system according to the angle of knowledge activity system and the microcosmic layer course model of production-teaching-research. It also puts emphasis on a lot of problems, which are essential to the cultivation of entrepreneurial atmosphere, such as entrepreneurial education and the enterpriser spirit, the organization and recreation of the platform for scientific research, the existence of sticky knowledge and the model and measures of technology transfer.In conclusion, the thesis, based on the conflict management theory and venture management theory, combined with the microscopic operation of Industry-College -Institute model under the policies of government, raises the management guarantee mechanism of entrepreneurial universities' construction. It analyzes the main conflicting problems of entrepreneurial universities and brings forward the method to construct the conflict management mechanism such as conflict prevention, conflict solution via perfecting early-warning system and property right system through introducing "Domain Field", "Darwin Sea" and "Butterfly Effect". In terms of the special effect of the risk investment on entrepreneurial universities, the thesis here brings forward the risk management mechanism of entrepreneurial universities. At the end of the thesis, it discusses the ambient space cooperation mechanism of entrepreneurial universities such as government, enterprise and research institute.
