Research On University-Enterprise Technology Transfer Towards Improving Enterprise Technological Capability

Nowadays, technology is an important means of international competition. The fact that China's "market for technology" strategy didn't achieve the desired objective fully demonstrates that we should rely on universities and research institutions more to build a national innovation system and to improve our capability of independent innovation. In China, university is the main force for basic research; enterprise is the main force for technology innovation. It is necessary to research the mechanism, the efficiency and the incentive of technology transfer between universities and enterprises towards improving the enterprise technological capability. The research is our country's urgent needs to build the national innovation system and strengthen the international competitiveness.By literature research and case analysis, this dissertation did a research on the technology transfer between the universities and enterprises towards improving the enterprise technological capability. The main research results obtained were as follows:Firstly, the principle of university-enterprise technology transfer process was analyzed. Based on the general process of technology transfer and knowledge flow characteristics in technology transfer, the dissertation pointed out that the university-enterprise technology transfer was the process of knowledge innovation based on organization learning. Applying theoretical framework of Knowledge Fermenting Model which revealed the mechanism of organization learning and knowledge innovation, it explored the knowledge fermentation process and the inherent laws of the university-enterprise technology transfer.Secondly, the dissertation established a model of enterprise technological capability development based on technology transfer to reveal the inherent law of technological capability increasing, in which the technology transfer process was divided into four stages-introduction & learning, digestion & absorption, knowledge reconstruction and knowledge implicit, corresponding to the four bars of knowledge fermentation.Thirdly, the dissertation proposed a conceptual model of university-enterprise technology transfer. In accordance with the actors and the range of technology transfer activities, the dissertation summarized the technology transfer influencing factors for six aspects. It also put forward university-enterprise technology transfer efficiency measuring method and analyzed how every factor affected the efficiency of the university-enterprise technology transfer.Fourthly, the dissertation presented catalytic incentive model of technology transfer between universities and enterprises towards improving the enterprise technological capability, analyzed the incentive theory from the "Ba mechanism"and "Enzyme mechanism" perspective and clarified catalytic incentives of the policy environment for technology transfer and technology transfer intermediary. Based on the status quo of university-enterprise technology transfer in our country, the dissertation summed up the practical experience of technology transfer in United States, Japan and France which were the three major scientific and technological powers in the world and pointed out the specific measures we should take to incent the technology transfer between universities and enterprises in our country.Finally, the method of multi-case analysis was adopted. The dissertation selected five typical cases of university-enterprise technology transfer and showed the purposes, processes, influence factors and incentive mechanisms from different angles to verify the theories in this dissertation.
