National Yang-Ming University in Taiwan has published the East Asian Science, Technology and Society: An International Journal (EASTS) from 2007, the journal has become one of the most important journals of international STS research nowadays. Professor Fu Daiwie, then the chief edtor of the journal is targeting the “distinctive” East Asian STS as the purpose of this magazine at the very inception of this publication, and setted up the special space, object and methodology of East Asian STS research; however, Warwick Anderson led a group of postcolonial scholars to raise an objection to the distinction of East Asian STS. This essay display the points of their debate, then by calculate and analyze the special issues of EASTS from 2007 to 2012, investigate which points of the distinction of East Asian STS that Fu Daiwie has proposed are reached? which are not? Finally, analyze the reasons.
In modern age, science is no more pure pursuit of knowledge. Scientific discoveries are always technological inventions at the same time. This kind of science-based innovation are very different from technology-based innovation, which have been studied quite thoroughly in the past. The recognition of these differences are important for the understanding of economic development and industrial technical change. For the analysis of these differences, this article sets up a theoretical framework, through which the dimension of sectoral differences can be brought into discussions in theories and policies. Moreover, the analysis in this article suggest that there is not a general pattern of science-technology relation, but sectoral patterns.
Under the background of glocalization and the society of advanced knowledge economy, Elias G. Carayannis et al took the lead in putting forward and explaining the concept system of mode 3 knowledge production in accordance with the logical law of evolution of knowledge production modes. Knowledge clusters, innovation networks and fractal innovation ecosystem constitute the core organizational model of mode 3 knowledge production for which Quadruple Helix innovation ecosystem endows adaptive context to exist. Mode 3 knowledge production emphasizes multidimensional aggregation of multi-level, multi-nodal, multi-modal and multi-agent organizational structures and non-linear collaboration of co-evolving; co-specializing, co-opeting operational mechanism .In mode 3 knowledge production, academic firm will be future logical dimension of university development.
Scientific literature is the foundation of scientific research for scholars. Showing topic evolution process with time in the literature can help researchers to understand rules or routes for the scientific study. For the scientific literature from the specified field, the temporal topic chain can be used to reveal the fact that topics vary with time. In the paper, a method for calculating the defined transition probability between topics and constructing temporal topic chains is proposed. The empirical study has been conducted on the articles published from 2000 to 2011 in 3 authoritative Chinese journals in the field of Management Science. The results show that a temporal topic chain can effectively expose how topics change over time and also reveal some latent relationships between topics during the topic evolution process. Besides, characteristics of intersection or combination between topics can be shown by analyzing structural characters of temporal topic chains.

Based on a sample survey of science and technology personnel at the universities, research institutions and enterprises R & D institutions, it is found that the main problems in the government awards are administrative intervention too much, unreal of award list and linking to personal interests too tight. The main problems in the social S & T awards are that scientists pay less attention and low influence power. There are the main reasons that the current evaluation system is not reasonable, relevant audit mechanism is missing and the punishment to the fraud is too small. According to the survey results, related policy suggestions on the system of Chinese science and technology award system are raised in the end.

This paper attempts to explore China’s optimal intellectual property protection level through studying the effects of intellectual property rights (IPR) on economic growth. Firstly, the paper selects openness and R&D activities as control variables, and constructs empirical regression model. Secondly, China’s physical capital stocks, technology capital stocks from 1985 to 2009 are calculated, and China’s level of IPR from 1985 to 2010 is also calculated. Finally, empirical analysis is conducted using China’s time series data. The results show that the relationship between IPR and economic growth is inverted “U”, and the optimal IPR index for China is 3.564. Now China’s intellectual property protection level is lower than this optimal point.
As a result, strengthening China’s IPR protection can promote economic growth, and these effects are mainly through the channels of international trade and R&D activities.
Human capital is the most valuable resources of research activities. The degree of compensation of technical human capital will have profound impact on the motivation and behavior of researchers when they carrying our research work, and even determines the output level of the entire national scientific and technological innovation system and output quality. This paper analyzes the issues and causes of the current compensation of technical human capital in China. The low wages of researchers, the double-track system of human capital and the phenomenon which love things and use people will seriously hamper the development of China's long-term scientific research. The causes for these problems are following: the low proportion of safeguard allocations, the failure to guide and keep pace with the time of payroll management policy, the insufficient respect of the value of labor, and so on. This paper concludes with policy recommendations to optimize the compensation system of technical human capital in China.
R&D Staff’s performance appraisal has long been puzzling the management practice. It is gradually become consensus that classification of appraisal could be effective way; however, it is still lack for empirical study. In this paper, the result of questionnaire and quantitative analysis shows that: the variable of measuring R&D Staff’s Performance Characteristic is six factors two orders model. R&D Staff could be divided into two types according to the similarities and differences of performance characteristic, one represents low credibility of performance behavior appraisal and mediate credibility of performance outcome appraisal, while the other represents mediate credibility of performance behavior appraisal and high credibility of performance outcome appraisal. The former type of Staffs approve of the appraisal method which balanced the performance outcome appraisal and work plan report, while the method of consider outcome appraisal as primary, behavior appraisal as secondary suits for the latter type of staffs mostly. These results of this study possess an important guiding value to R&D staff’s performance appraisal.
Abstract On the basis of the general stress model and uncertainty management theory, the present study examined the effects of Sci-tech talents’ both perceived job insecurity and interactional justice on creative behavior and the underlying mechanism. The hypotheses were tested through the hierarchical regression analysis of 468 longitudinal dyads samples. The results indicated that there were significantly negative effects of quantitative job insecurity and qualitative job insecurity on Sci-tech talents’ creative behaviors. Furthermore, the findings also showed that the hypotheses about the moderating role of interactional justice in the associations between Sci-tech talents’ perceived job insecurity and creative behaviors were also supported. That is to say, Interactional justice could alleviate effectively the negative impact of job insecurity on creative behavior, the higher Sci-tech talents’ perceived interactional justice, the smaller the effect of job insecurity on creative behavior.
Nowadays, the National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC) is facing the situation of high performance pressure. As the lagging effect of the NSFC projects performance and the extending grant period of project (such as the General Projects), the significance of project implementation for the funding performance is increasingly prominent. Hence, there is an urgent need for improving the ongoing projects management. To promote the funding performance, the management of NSFC ongoing projects can resort to the quality accountability of projects. However, the current situation of the ongoing projects management can hardly cover all the demands of project quality in terms of accountability. And occasionally, the cognitive strategies which adopted by project groups to cope with the accountability are also disadvantageous to the NSFC funding performance. So, this paper constructed a management mechanism of NSFC ongoing projects from the perspective of the quality accountability, in order to improve the current project management and enhance the NSFC funding performance.
How to predict the performance of an applicant is a core issue in the process of research project funding. Unlike the traditional way, we use a back-chaining evaluation method to test what factors of an applicant are influencing the performance of the research project based on the data of Chinese National Science Foundation. We find that the gender never affect the output performance, and the age group of 41-45 are significantly helpful in improving the performance, but the age group of 46-50 obviously do harm in improving the performance. What’s more, the affiliation of “211 university” could do good to the performance, while the academic titles of academician and Yangtze River Scholar prevent the applicants from improving their performances. According to these findings, we advice to take the measures of implementing some specific research projects, some special projects, and some exclusive projects to varied research groups to improve the research performance.

Open innovation is an innovative paradigm，in which enterprises can build some kind of open innovation network with the development of internal and external resources to realize the value maximization,breaking through the enterprise boundaries.Whereas union combination is an organization form that a core enterprise can simultaneously set up multiple alliances with suppliers, customers, complementary, etc. The purpose of this article is to analysis the effects of alliance portfolio on open innovation performance. First, an integrative framework of three levels that include "point - edge - net" is constructed. Second," point - edge - net" are disaggregated into six measured variables such as resource diversity, resource heterogeneity, the number of relationship, the intensity of relationship, the strength of network structure, and the coupling mechanism. Then, a case study of REFOND is analyzed to research the relationships between the six variables with open innovation. And this article finds that the six variables have positive effects on open innovation performance. Lastly, according to the analysis of REFOND, the related theory about open Innovation based on alliance portfolio is proposed.
A few mathematical models have analyzed a parallel path approach to original innovation, and these ‘sampling’ models can not guide enterprises to understand complexity networks of original innovation. We indicate nonlinear formation mechanism of innovation parallel path: from the perspective of complexity theory, the sensitivity to initial conditions, deviation amplification of positive feedback, the fractal patterns and scalability explain the nonlinear formation mechanism of parallel path in original innovation system; by knowledge-based perspective, portfolios of knowledge, technology, product features and innovative concepts constitute a huge feasible solution space; by practice perspective, innovation practice communities and embedded network make it easily form a diversity of parallel paths.
Incremental innovation is an important innovation strategy of SMEs in China. Chinese SEMs have distinct regional embeddedness characteristics, but the existing papers that SMEs incremental innovation affecting factors under the perspective of network embeddedness is still lack. Based on 137 Zhejiang SME as the research object, we use exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to verify the SMEs incremental innovation structural influenced factors: network position, network fit and innovation potential. The conclusion of the study has important theoretical guiding significance for the practice of Chinese SME incremental innovation strategy.
The evolutionary study about innovation network of industrial clusters is a new and important hot pot in Economic Geography. This paper combines the research between network and evolution, contributes an analytical framework to examine the innovation network of industrial clusters, which takes the innovation as a core. Take the petroleum equipment manufacturing industry cluster in Dongying for example; the paper proposes that, innovation network evolution has four stages: initial, spin-off, agglomeration and restructuring. Geographical proximity, social proximity and cognation proximity make combined impact of innovation network and flowing of knowledge. With the changes of the external and inner environment, the space of the innovation network will appear new features. This trend presents new challenge to the industrial clusters of New Regionalism.
Although previous research have illustrated that network routines are the core elements to maintain and coordinate the technological innovation network, there are few studies on the formation of network routines. This paper focuses on the impact of network routines on the knowledge transfer in technological innovation network. On the basis of related literatures, we establish a system dynamics model, and with the help of Vensim PLE, we simulate the validation and sensitivity of the model. The simulation results show that the relationship between network routines and knowledge transfer shows a reversed U-shape, and in the process of knowledge transfer, the growing rate of the knowledge stock of transferor is much greater than receiver. Finally, provide valid supporting for decisions in similar knowledge transfer process.
