The New Culture Movement and the May 4th Movement are interrelated but different. “Democracy” and “Science” are two concepts proposed by the New Culture Movement, and are endowed with new connotations by the May 4th Movement. This historical process is closely related to Chen Duxiu’s view on science and its evolution. 100 years after the May 4th Movement, Chen’s view on science has profound influence on modern China. However, reflection in academia is not enough. We studied the evolution of Chen’s view on science, focusing on the May 4th Movement’s effect on the transformation of his perspective. Chen’s view on science can be characterized by stages of symbolization, personification and politicization. In conclusion, his view on science after the May 4th Movement shaped the current logic and strategy of our handling the relationship between science and politics in modern China.
During the New Culture Movement, most of the Chinese intellectuals who were exposed to science chose to embrace “Mr. Science” enthusiastically. Their vehement support helped science break from the shackles of Confucianism, rooting and germinating in the Chinese soil and rapidly growing into a towering tree. How could science defeat Confucianism in China and win “a status of supreme dignity” as described by Hu Shi? This article investigates the characteristics of science as advocated in the New Culture Movement, and argues that the reason why “none of those who consider themselves as enlightened dared to openly despise ‘science’” in the early Republican China, is because of science’s obvious advantages over Confucianism regarding their definitions of research object and purpose and their choice in research methods and approaches. However, science and Confucianism have distinctive but complementary social functions, and it is inappropriate to replace or repudiate one with the other. The most important thing is that, any scholarly viewpoint, regardless of being scientific or Confucian, must be tested with reason and facts.
This paper suggests whether the academic staff can migrate successfully between academic institutions depends not only on the academic distance between academic institutions, but also on the positionof academic institutions in the transnational migration network. Then based on the transnational migration data ofTYTP candidates in information science, this paper constructs a transnational migration network of academic personnel and uses the bilateral gravitational model and the Poisson regression analysis to reveal the factors of transnational migration of academic staff between academic institutions at the organizational level. The results show that, when the “Thousand Youth” migrate between academic institutions across nations, the academic distance between institutions directly affects whether the academic staff can migrate successfully. The closer the academic distance between academic institutions, the higher the probability of academic personnel migrating successfully. The higher the indegree of entry into the academic institutions, the higher the probability of academic personnel moving in. The higher the outdegree of out of the academic institutions, the higher the probability of academic personnel moving out.
The waste incineration program were protested against by local people and environmental protection activists in G city. Disputes over waste incineration technology continuously remains among experts and lay people in the anti-incineration campaign. The main technological controversies focus on its public health risks, noxious emissions and the operating environment. Different narratives and knowledge were produced in the debate by both sides. In their anti-incineration activism, the local activists are not protesting against the incineration irrationally. Rather, they integrated scientific discourses, data collected, local knowledge and experiences, developed their own expertise and became "lay experts". The role of “lay experts” challenges the dichotomy of “expert” and “lay” in STS studies. Their expertise provides an essential local perspective to environmental decision-making.
Using the synthetic control method (SCM), based on the "counterfactual" perspective, this paper examines and compares the effects of the first batch of national innovative industrial cluster policy implementation on regional innovation ability in 2013 with the data of 31 provinces in 2001-2016 years. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the placebo effect method based on time and space and the method of permutation test were analyzed, and the sensitivity analysis was carried out by leave-one-out iterative method to test the robustness. The conclusion shows that the implementation of the first batch of national innovative industrial cluster policies in 2013 significantly promoted the improvement of regional innovation capability. Based on this, we further analyze and verify the mechanism of innovation based industrial clusters to promote regional innovation, namely, innovation network mechanism, government support mechanism and industrial agglomeration mechanism.
This article aims to research the affection of the knowledge spillover from international to the economic growth in china based on the panel data of 2004~2015 through the method of spatial panel data model. The results show that From an overall perspective，independent innovation，foreign investment and export trade can significantly promote regional economic growth. However，only import trade can significantly improve total factor productivity. In the eastern region，independent innovation，foreign investment，import trade and export trade can significantly promote regional economic growth While the import and export trade has a positive impact on the total factor productivity. The independent innovation and foreign investment will promote economic growth，while foreign investment，foreign investment and import trade will enhance the total factor productivity in the central region ； For the western region，independent innovation and import trade can significantly promote regional economic growth，while import trade can significantly improve total factor productivity. Based on those finding，the paper put forward some related policy suggestions that the regions should be taken of the different economic policy.
Starting from the interactive demand of S&T service industry and manufacturing industry, it combines the connotation of the S&T service industry and the mechanism interacted with manufacturing upgrade. First of all, the index layer is compared and carding through reviewing a number of documents. Then an evaluation index system for the development level of the S&T service industry has been established taking four dimensions (scale capabilities, technological innovation, service object, and comprehensive potentials) based on the subject service capabilities and the development of some externally-associated supporting industries. Also the panel data of 2007-2016 China 30 provinces is used to measure the level of S&T service industry index and gained comparative analysis of overall and three plates, also regional spatial layout. Moreover some policy proposals are proposed for promoting the development of the S&T service industry in China.
Based on the situation of China's research-oriented universities and the obstacles of technology transfer, this paper firstly analyses the connotation of modularity on innovation, discusses the coordinating effects of organizational modularity on technology transfer, and builds the research university's technology transfer related organization model. Moving forward, the technology transfer management practices of MIT, Stanford University and Harvard University are systematically explored in the case study. Finally, the paper also gives some enlightenment to China's research-oriented universities corresponding to technology transfer. Key research finding is obtained that organizational modularity is able to adjust the output and efficiency of technology transfer of research university, which is reflected in some aspects including: (1) the three drivers generated by Government traction, University restraint and Industrial linkage, constitute the collaborative innovation infrastructure to promote the transfer of university technology; (2) the professional and independent technology transfer office in a research university, can play an important role in connecting the supply side and the demand side of scientific and technological innovation. Moreover, the organization system (education & teaching ? technology innovation ? technology transfer) of research universities can also be operated in a benign state combining relevant collaborative mechanisms among organization modules.
The question of “how to governance the intellectual assets of platform partners” hasn’t explained in platform-mediate network form the theory. Through the multi-case analysis, this paper discusses the intellectual assets mechanisms in platform-mediate network from the theory of legitimacy. We identify three intellectual assets governance mechanisms, including making the public collective sense, establishing coordination conflict and contradiction and building the identity based new platform governance. The platform leaders use legitimation strategies with other actors give the legitimacy to the partners, in order to encourage the partners or potential partners to innovate. In this paper, the “black box” of intellectual assets of the platform partner governance mechanisms is opened in the platform-mediated network, which reveals the different legitimation strategies and makes clear the relationship between the execution actors of legitimation strategies, the judgment actors and the winner of the legitimacy. Our study guides the platform-mediated network governance in practices and provides the ability of sustainable development for high-speed platform-mediated networks.
Through the analysis of the process of knowledge transfer in university technical licensing, this paper introduces the dimension of tacit knowledge technology service into the technology acceptance model and establish the extension technology licensing acceptance model. Based on the empirical analysis of the questionnaire survey data, it is found that the technical service availability has a significant positive impact on technology licensing attitude inclination and technology licensing practical behavior; technology absorptive capacity and trust have a significant positive impact on the availability of technology services. Therefore, universities should establish a mode of technology licensing transfer focusing on service, improve the availability of technology services, and then promote the performance of university technology licensing.
Integrating the perspectives of domestic entrepreneurial networks and organizational legitimacy, this study constructed the effects of strength and quality of domestic entrepreneurial networks of returnee entrepreneurial firms on firm performance, and the theoretical model of the mediating effects of organizational legitimacy. Based on survey data from177 returnee entrepreneurial firms in Beijing Science Parks and other organizations, we examined the research hypotheses by regression analysis. Empirical research results indicate that strength and quality of domestic entrepreneurial networks of returnee entrepreneurial firms both have significantly positive effect on organizational legitimacy and firm performance. Organizational legitimacy plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between strength of domestic entrepreneurial networks and performance of returnee entrepreneurial firms. Organizational legitimacy plays a full mediating role in the relationship between quality of domestic entrepreneurial networks and performance of returnee entrepreneurial firms. The research results have important implications for returnee entrepreneurial firms’ acquisition of organizational legitimacy and performance improvement through embedding in domestic entrepreneurial networks.
The international entrepreneurial experience of entrepreneurs will not only affect the knowledge acquisition of international market, but also influence the choice of innovation strategy. Therefore, exploring the effect of international entrepreneurial experience and market knowledge accumulation on ambidexterity innovation of born globals is a complex and interesting question. This study uses partial least squares (PLS) modeling and SmartPLS4 software in order to analyze the data of 196 survey questionnaires. The results show that the international innovation experience and market knowledge accumulation is the driving mechanism of born globals to carry out the strategy of innovation; The international entrepreneurial experience does not directly affect the exploratory innovation of born globals, but it presents a positive correlation to its exploitative innovation. The market knowledge accumulation will positively influence the exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation of born globals. There is a positive correlation between the exploitative innovation of born globals and the exploratory innovation. The scale of born globals is positively correlated with the market knowledge accumulation; Market uncertainty is positively correlated with the exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation of born globals. The research conclusion provides useful experience for the healthy development of China's born globals.
Based on the theory of enterprise absorptive capacity and cross-boundary technology M&A events from 2007 to 2015, this study examines how acquirers’ pre-M&A technological diversification impact on the M&A innovation performance, as well as the role of internal R&D, external R&D cooperation in the relationship between the two mentioned above. The study finds that for enterprises engaged in technology M&A, technological diversification has a significant effect on the M&A innovation performance; and internal R&D, external R&D cooperation will enhance the relationship between technological diversification and M&A innovation performance. Moreover, the speed of technological progress in acquirers’ industry strengthens the regulating effect of internal R&D and external R&D cooperation on the relationship between technology diversification and innovation performance.
Building the innovation ecosystem and playing a symbiotic role is the preferred strategy for promoting the development of regional sci-tech innovation. Combined with relevant data from 30 provinces in China from 2007 to 2015, the symbiosis level of China's regional innovation ecosystem using the symbiotic measurement model is measured, and the relationship between regional innovation ecosystem symbiosis and sci-tech innovation is empirically analyzed by establishing the static and dynamic panel data model. The results show that: the symbiosis degree of regional innovation ecosystem is generally characterized by "U", the eastern region is much higher than the central and western regions, the regional differences are large and the decline is still weak. In the short term, innovation ecosystem symbiosis has a relatively weak role in promoting sci-tech innovation, and the effect of symbiosis unit is not significant, in the long term, the positive driving effect of innovation ecosystem symbiosis is obviously amplified, and the symbiosis unit has a negative inhibitory effect on sci-tech innovation. The accumulative effects of sci-tech innovation are obvious, the symbiosis matrix, symbiosis platform, and symbiosis environment always have positive driving effects on sci-tech innovation, and the positive driving effects of symbiosis network is not obvious.
In the era of social media, the innovative communities(IC) have become important habitats of lead users. Therefore, how to identify leading users in the big data environment is a key issue for companies to capture value from innovation communities. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that relies on extracting linguistic-style cues from community posts to identify lead users. Text mining were used to extract positive emotional, collectivism and self-interest-oriented writing style cues from 47310 posts written by 355 members of 10 ICs. The results show that positive emotional and self-interest-oriented linguistic-style are significantly positive related to lead-userness, they can play signaling roles for identifying lead users. While, the relationship between collectivism linguistic-style and lead-userness are not significant. The theoretical and managerial implications of this novel approach of identifying lead users were concluded.
This paper derives four government-control modes from the interaction of government property-right boundary, administrative boundary and enterprise property-right boundary. Through the construction of a multi-agent model of government-enterprise interaction and simulation to test the impact of the four government-control models on corporate innovation activities, the results show that: (1) under the two-way separation mode, innovation investment is high and innovation performance is good; (2) by comparing the "administrative-fixed effect" and the "property-fixed effect", the administrative destructive power under the two-way-centralized control mode is stronger, the adaptability of enterprises lags behind, and there is "innovation inertia"; (3) Under the one-way property-right management mode, with the increase of parameter , innovation input is insufficient and innovation performance is low; (4) Under the one-way administrative management mode, with the enhancement of parameter , innovation investment and innovation performance are decreasing, and the initiative of enterprises' independent innovation is not high. Finally, aiming at different government-control modes, proposals for promoting corporate innovation activities are proposed.
Individual innovation is the source of organizational innovation. Previous research mainly focused on the influence of diversity impact on team innovation rather than individual innovation. The influence of team fault lines, which is caused by diversity arrangement, has been ignored. This paper established a model of team fault lines’ impact on individual innovation performance. Taking ASW as an index, this study measured the fault lines situation of 30 project teams and conducted a leader-follower investigation on 175 team members, aiming to analyze team fault lines’ impact on individual innovation as well as the moderation from the perspectives of empowering leadership and conflict culture. Results show that：(1) Team fault lines has a negative effect on individual innovation performance. (2) Empowering leadership can weaken this negative effect. (3) Within all three conflict cultures, avoidant orientation is the only one that can weaken team fault lines’ negative effect on individual innovation performance. (4) Team fault lines, as a moderator, directly weakens individual perspective taking’s positive impact on innovation performance. This paper fills the gap in diversity arrangement research and has practical implication on human resource allocation practice.
