  • Transcend the View of Science and Technology of Productivity
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 641-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Since 1949, Chinese mainstream view of science and technology is with "science is the productive forces" as the core concept of science and technology.It is essentially belongs to the utilitarianism view of science.It has some obvious defects: substitute science with technology or emphasize technology and ignore science; the spiritual culture attribute of science and technology failed to attention; lacking awareness of scientific autonomy; scientism influence widely etc. The way of remodeling the mainstream view of science and technology of China is:Insist on rationality of the utilitarianism view of science, make efforts to correct and overcome their limitations,absorb advantages of idealism science and other all sorts of relevant thought resources appropriately, consequently, transcends the View of Science and Technology of Productivity and towards a new, more senior view of mainstream science and technology. At present, remodeling the mainstream view of science and technology of China should strengthen the following basic concepts:(1)science and technology is the engine of economic and social development;(2)technology comes from science and support it;(3)Science and technology is a kind of distinctive culture;(4)Scientific autonomy can't be ignored;(5)Science is not perfect.
  • Explore the Method of Technology Evolution Research Based on Patents Network
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 651-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Technology evolution research can make the developing process, history and status of a specific field clear. It’s valuable for government and enterprises’ S&T strategy management. Patent citation analysis has some disadvantages such as it can’t judge the technology similarity of two patents accurately and the scope of analysis and richness of potential information is limit in technology evolution research. Text mining method can analyze text of patents deeply. It can make up the disadvantages of patent citation analysis to some degree. So we explore the combination of patent citation analysis and text mining method to research technology evolution. We construct C-T (Citation-Text) patent network based on patent citation matrix and patent text similarity matrix, then we do a cluster analysis and visualize the results. This paper aims to carry out the innovation of technology evolution research methods and enrich methodology of technology evolution research.
  • Measurement and Transnational Comparison on National Space Capability
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 666-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Robust and reliable National Space Capability (NSC) has become strategic foundation to the survival and development of a nation. Comprehensive measurement to NSC is the key to evaluate NSC, and to make space policy. This paper starts with theoretical analysis of space activities, abstracts the main players and their capability attributes, redefines NSC and then comes up with an indicator system to measure NSC. We solve the data availability problem of NSC measurement by studying space industry classification and space patent data extraction, analyzing and comparing major open source data, and hiring some investigation data. Measurement to 8 major space-faring nations (region) and transnational comparison are conducted at the end of this paper.
  • The Influence from the Progress of Agricultural Science and Technology to Agricultural Carbon Emission Based on Provincial Point
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 674-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • As a big developing country, the differences of progress level of agricultural science and technology and carbon emissions among different areas are very obvious in China. To comprehensively study the impact of progress of agricultural science and technology to agricultural carbon emissions, we need to select appropriate research perspective. Based on many reasons limited, research findings about the impact of progress of agricultural science and technology to agricultural carbon emissions from the perspective of provincial administrative are extremely rare. To this end, this paper analyzed theories about the impact of progress of agricultural science and technology to agricultural carbon emissions and constructed a dynamic panel data model. Based on these, the paper made an empirical study about the impact of progress of agricultural science and technology to agricultural carbon emissions using the data of the 30 provincial units from 2000 to 2010. The results show that under the premise of controlling for other variables, there was a negative correlation between progress of agricultural science and technology and agricultural carbon emission. The higher progress level of agricultural science and technology, the less agricultural emission, and the lower progress level of agricultural science and technology, the more agricultural emissions. Finally, the paper put forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions aiming at reducing agricultural emissions.

  • The Mediating Effect of Knowledge Sharing between Consumer Interaction and Consumer Group Creativity in Virtual Community based Innovation
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 702-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Based on the review about consumer interaction and consumer group creativity, this study divides consumer interaction into two dimensions including consumer-consumer interaction and consumer-enterprise interaction and discusses the effect of the two dimensions on consumer group creativity and its mediation process. Empirical study result shows that the two dimensions are positively related to consumer group creativity, the relationship between consumer-enterprise interaction and consumer group creativity is partly mediated by knowledge sharing, and the relationship between consumer-consumer interaction and consumer group creativity is fully mediated by knowledge sharing. The result also shows that consumer-enterprise interaction is a better predictor of knowledge quality than is consumer-consumer interaction, and consumer-consumer interaction is a better predictor of knowledge quantity than is consumer-enterprise interaction. This study not only helps to push the consumer group behavior forward, but also helps to improve consumer group creativity in practice.

  • Entrepreneurial support network of University Spin-off Companies: Elements and Effectiveness
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 742-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • University Spin-off Companies (USOs) have obtained external resources from entrepreneurial support network, which was constructed by several stakeholders, including Parent University, government, industrial partners and academic inventor. Based on research data of spin-off companies derived from "211 Project" university in China, the paper systematically investigated the elements of USOs’ entrepreneurial support network and their effectiveness (how such support elements on different network nodes affect the entrepreneurial orientation and performance of USOs). The results indicated that, entrepreneurial support network of USOs in China did not constitute an effective linked mechanism. The entrepreneurial orientation and performance of USOs mainly depended on the Parent University and government-led regional environment, while industry partners, academic inventors did not provide significant support effect. Governance structure of the USOs moderated the effectiveness of the above support elements.

  • Geographic concentration and spatial dependence——Time-space model of provincial innovation in China
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 780-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Using the methods of exploratory spatial data analysis(ESDA)and spatial analysis software, this paper analyzes the spatial distribution of innovation outputs, measured by the number of patient applications, throughout 31 Chinese provinces from 1997 to 2009. The visual patent distribution plot has shown the distribution of innovation outputs at the provincial level and its spatial dynamic changes. A significant high level of spatial concentration of innovation outputs among Chinese provinces has been captured by the computed spatial Gini coefficient and Theil index, and the concentration level has increased steadily over the past years. The analysis using the Moran’s I statistic gives the strong evidence of spatial autocorrelation in innovation activities among provinces, while the concentration pattern of innovation activities among provinces and its changes over time have been revealed by using the local Moran’s I and the Moran scatter plot, which indicate the clustering nature of the spatial distribution of provincial innovation activities. This study can provide a scientific basis for the intuitive expression of the spatial correlation of innovation outputs among provinces, and puts forward that the spatial statistical analysis could present some references valuable for analyzing spatial structure and patterns and policy-making.
  • Club Convergence Effect of Technology Achievement Index among National Innovative Cities
  • 2013 Vol. (5): 790-0.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Based on Technology Achievement Index of China's 21 national innovative cities during 2001-2009, this article chooses Technology Achievement Index as target variables and six predictor variables reflecting the initial level of regional innovation capacity and regional economic structure characteristics to gain the optimal regional groupings, which match the definition of club convergence better. Combining the endogenous CART methods with Theil index test and random convergence unit root test, this article conducts club convergence test for the level of technical achievement of 21 national innovative cities. The results show that: (1) though the overall Technology Achievement Index of 21 national innovative cities is growing, the difference is becoming larger during the sample period; (2) government intervention and regional technological progress are the most important grouping variables, this also indicates that the development of innovative cities has a distinct characteristic of government-driving; (3) According to the similarity of government intervention and regional technical progress, 21 national innovative cities can be divided into three clubs endogenously. Shenzhen still leads the process of innovative city in China; then seven cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, represent a convergence club of relatively higher level of technical achievement; the rest other cities forms the last club.
