This paper creates a dataset of articles published from 1998 to 2018 in all the peer-reviewed journals of management CSSCI, based on theoretical analysis and modeling, it empirically analyzes the role of scholars' openness on their academic impact. The results show that there is a nonlinear relationship between scholars' openness and academic impact, which is positive before a certain point, and then becomes negative. By introducing the moderating variable career age (AGE), the research also finds that moderate cognitive openness and structural openness are desirable for enhancing academic impact for young scholars; besides, a high level of cognitive openness and a low level of structural openness contribute to senior scholars’ academic impact. The research contributes to understanding of different search behavior across business scholars’ career paths, and has some theoretical references on how to improve the academic impact of scholars.
Reproducibility crisis is the new challenge of current science since 2010. Firstly, there are deny of reproducibility crisis, or no solution to reproducibility crisis, but the new practice of pre-registration could attempt to control reproducibility crisis. Secondly, from the new idea of pre-registration in 2013 to new wave of pre-registration, the development in the six years is extremely quickly, owing to it is approach to the essence of science. Its standard of peer review is exclusively the creativity of idea and reasonability of design of experiment, as well as the whole quality control of research process, including idea creation, experiment design, experiment process and paper writing. Thirdly, pre-registration require the sign between the testing experiment and exploratory experiment, as well as the whole record of the change from idea to experiment result, so as to preventing from publication bias and elevate the reproducibility of experiment. As long as China develop into innovation country and confront with reproducibility crisis, China should begin to the try pre-registration in some Sci-tech Journals, constructing the idea registration and data upload platform, and new peer review model, so as to diminish reproducibility crisis.
Participating in public service delivery is the way for Chinese science associations to serve the interest of S&T workers and meet the requirement of national strategy. A fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis is used in this study to explore the achievement mechanisms of their high-quantity and high-quality participation in public provision respectively. National science associations under the leadership of China Association for Science and Technology are used as the sample in empirical process. Based on 244 valid questionnaires, causal core and periphery are found out, and five configurations are empirically investigated. Then, configurations are divided into ‘resource-driving’ and ‘leadership-driving’, and an alternative between them is clear. It finds that financial condition, full-time staff and government support are the core elements of high-quantity services, while expert resources and leaders’ cognition leads to high-quality services. Furthermore, neutral permutations in each configuration also indicates that Chinese science associations need to find out the valuable elements relevant to their mission and goal, when seeking to achieve a successful public provision.
Using industrial structure rationalization and advancement to measure industrial structure optimization, based on panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2004 to 2016, this paper investigates the influence of the specialization, diversification and integration agglomeration of service industry on industrial structure optimization. The findings are as follows: on the whole, although specialization agglomeration hinders the rationalization of industrial structure, it can promote the advancement of industrial structure; diversified agglomeration not only hinders the rationalization of industrial structure, but also hinders the advancement of industrial structure, which is not conducive to the optimization of industrial structure; the integration agglomeration promotes the rationalization and advancement of industrial structure, which is beneficial to the optimization of industrial structure. As far as the different regions are concerned, specialization and diversification agglomeration have negative effects on the rationalization of industrial structure , which increase in intensity from east to west; what’s more, they restrain the industrial structure of eastern China, but promote the industrial structure of central and western China; the integration agglomeration has a positive effect on the rationalization and advancement of industrial structure in the eastern and western China, and the western China is significantly higher than the eastern and central China.
Abstract: In recent years, it is great practical and academic value to carry out research on the comprehensive effect of housing prices and talent aggregation among many " Talent Snatch War " cities. This paper uses dynamic panel threshold model to evaluate the impact and mechanism of housing prices on the R&D talent aggregation. Firstly, it found that housing price in the low threshold region has a significant role in promoting the R&D talent aggregation, while the high threshold housing price has a inhibiting effect on the R&D talent aggregation throughout the country. Secondly, the influence direction of housing price on the R&D talent aggregation in eastern China is the same as that in the whole country. The housing price in the middle and western regions is located in the low threshold region, which can inhibit the the R&D talent aggregation, while in the high threshold region, it can significantly promote the the R&D talent aggregation. In addition, there is no significant "herding behavior" effect between the whole country and the eastern region, and there is a "crowding effect" in the eastern region, but the "herding behavior" effect in the central and western regions is significant and positive externality. The conclusion is that in the short run, the cities in the Eastern Region should increase the subsidy of purchasing houses for the R&D talent aggregation, and in the long run, they should take an active part in the "industry-grabbing war" to enhance the agglomeration of high-tech industries. Cities in the central and western regions should seize the strategic opportunity to participate in the " Talent Snatch War ", Making full use of the "herd behavior" effect of talent gathering.
Abstract Technology transaction is the main form of the transformation of innovation achievements. Studying the impact of multidimensional proximity on technology transaction can reveal the internal driving force of the current technology transaction relationship, and provide a theoretical basis for fomulating achievement transformation policy. Based on the Chinese integrated circuit patent transfer data, this paper uses the exponential random graph model (ERGM) to analyze the influence of multidimensional proximity and endogenous structural dependence of transaction entities on the formation of technical transaction relationships.The results show that geographical proximity has no obvious effect on technology transactions; technology and institutional proximity have only begun to affect technology transactions in the last three years; the proportion of organizational proximity has gradually increased; Social proximity has been playing a more stable role in promoting technology transactions. At the same time, research on the endogenous structure dependence of the network finds that enterprises tend to establish links with entities which have active transaction behavior; enterprises with direct transaction relationships will complete secondary transactions through indirect contacts, while enterprises with indirect links will not establish a direct transaction relationship actively .This conclusion verifies the influencing factors of technology transaction, which is helpful to guide industrial innovation and improve the the rate of technology transfer.
in the past 20 years, innovation activities have been in a dilemma in China. Firms are “unwilling” or even “afraid” to do innovation activities. In order to improve the institutional environment of innovation, Chinese government began to implement the IPR protection strategy in 2008. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the IPR protection strategy. The study found that, firstly, China's intellectual property protection strategy can stimulate innovation activities by increasing the illegal cost of knowledge infringement among firms. However, administrative protection and property rights protection environment is difficult to improve the innovation. Secondly, China's intellectual property protection strategy has not significantly improved the quality of innovation. The number of invention patents and the output rate of new products have not significantly increased. In the long run, companies may be caught in the “unwilling to innovation” circle, which in turn will hurt innovation. Thirdly, compared with non-high-tech firms, intellectual property protection strategy has greater in improving innovation investment and innovation quality of high-tech enterprises. It should be noted that the IPR protection strategy inhibits the innovation quality of non-high-tech firms, that is, non-high-tech enterprises interfere with the implementation of China's IPR protection strategy. Then, on the one hand, the Chinese government should continue to implement the IPR protection strategy, especially focusing on the implementation of judicial and disciplinary measures for IPR disputes. On the other hand, the Chinese government should pay attention to the potential impact of this strategy on non-high-tech enterprises.
In this study, Tobit regression model was built to explore the influence of tutor identity on the fund acquisition of science researchers, and OLS regression model was used to test the robustness of the research results. The results of the regression model show that there are significant differences in the total amount of scientific research funds and the acquisition of scientific research funds at the national and provincial levels. The academic identity of the tutor plays a leading role in the acquisition of scientific research funds, while the administrative identity of the tutor is in a subordinate position, which can only play a role through the attachment of the academic identity of the tutor to generate synergies. The combination of high academic and high administrative tutor identity can usually produce positive synergies, but it fails to produce the same effect on national scientific research funds. In addition, the research results further confirm that factors such as gender, length of service, talent status, discipline field, affiliation and scientific research team have an important impact on the fund acquisition of science researchers.
Actively promoting rural women's entrepreneurship is not only an important way to achieve rural women's income and wealth, but also a long-term strategy to promote rural revitalization. The talent ecosystem emphasizes that the internal factors of entrepreneurs and the external environment faced by entrepreneurs will affect their entrepreneurial performance. Based on the frontier theory of talent ecosystem and large sample field survey data in Shaanxi Province, this paper uses structural equation model and stepwise regression analysis to explore its impact on rural women's entrepreneurial performance and the mechanism from the perspectives of entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurs' own entrepreneurial spirit. The results show that entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurial spirit have a significant positive impact on rural women's entrepreneurial performance as a whole, but the impact of each dimension on entrepreneurial performance is different; entrepreneurial environment not only directly affects rural women's entrepreneurial performance, but also affects entrepreneurial performance through the intermediary role of entrepreneurial spirit. The research conclusion provides reference for how to promote rural women's entrepreneurial performance.
This paper focuses on the impact of contract control and contract coordination on the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge transfer, and the moderating effects of environmental dynamism. The research hypothesis are verified by 248 surveys data of Chinese manufacturing enterprises. The results show that contract control has a positive impact on the efficiency of knowledge transfer; contract coordination has a positive impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of knowledge transfer, and has a stronger impact on the effectiveness of knowledge transfer. In addition, environmental dynamism positively moderates the relationship between contract control and knowledge transfer efficiency and effectiveness. Environmental dynamism negatively moderates the relationship between contract coordination and knowledge transfer effectiveness. By identifying the factors that promote the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge transfer, this paper deepens the understanding of contract control and contract coordination. At the same time, this paper can also guide enterprises to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge transfer by adjusting the intensity of contract control and contract coordination according to different environmental dynamism situations, so as to achieve the goal of knowledge transfer.

Finally, the paper indicated the practical demand and possibility of introducing organizational behavior insight into regional innovation policy making in China.
It has been long term concerned that the innovation and entrepreneurship of universities usually fall into the path-dependence. Extant studies prefer to interpret it as a result of institutional inertia, while in this study, we bring the framework of reciprocal structuration theory, and employ a grounded theory by a case study of University E building Smart City J. We reveal that there is double path-dependence during the process of innovation and entrepreneurship by universities. To be specific, due to the exogenous and interpretative flexibility, technologies are usually loaded on specific technical logics and institutional structures, while subject to multiple identities and legitimacy requisition, universities are inclined to re-couple the exist structures, or reload other compatible structures, but not challenge or rebuild the existing path or structures. What is more, the micro process of double path-dependence relies on the organizational scripts which implement the reciprocal structuration of technology and society. Therefore, we argue that the importance of technology, especially the socio-technical perspective, as well as the micro-foundation of organization scripts, should be drawn more attentions in the future innovation studies.
The current trend of decentralization and networking of technology research and development has enabled enterprises to continuously break the boundaries and jointly build an open innovation ecosystem to transform the value and enhance corporate innovation capabilities. However, the main problem that needs to be addressed in an open innovation ecosystem is how to achieve value co-creation. Therefore, this study takes four innovative enterprises as samples and adopts the grounded theory to conduct multi-case analysis. This paper describes the value co-creation of an open innovation ecosystem from two levels: the open innovation ecosystem mode and the governance mechanism. Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is used to deeply explore the mechanism of the different configurations of the open innovation ecosystem operation mode and governance mechanism to promote value co-creation. The results reveal that a single operation mode or governance mechanism cannot promote the value co-creation of ecosystems; the interactive combination of operation mode or governance mechanism is the optimal choice to achieve open innovation eco-system value co-creation and there are multiple equifinal paths. The research results have important theoretical and practical significance for the open innovation ecosystem to improve the efficiency of resource integration and achieve value co-creation.

In the face of the rapidly changing environment, how can enterprises internalize situational information and break through the rigid shackles of innovation ability to maintain continuous competitive advantage in the fierce market competition? The existing research lacks rigorous academic analysis. Based on the two-dimensional perspective of organizational practice, this paper deeply explores the construction mechanism of enterprise innovation ability, clarifies the root of enterprise building differentiated innovation ability, and opens the black box of endogenous reform of organizational practice. The research shows that :(1) The formation of context-based ostensive aspect of routines represents the organization's understanding and internalization process of situational differentiation, and is the root of enterprise's construction of differentiated innovation ability;(2) It is the key to promote enterprise innovation ability to break through the rigid shackles that organizational routines updates timely with the change of environment by virtue of its performative aspect and the ostensive aspect;(3) Environmental uncertainty provides situational requirements for the construction and development of innovation ability, and promotes the continuous upgrading of enterprise innovation ability from "imitation innovation ability" to "independent innovation ability" to "collaborative innovation ability".
