Abstract
Purpose: At present, the Central Government of China pays more attention to the synergistic innovation, and the national strategy policy of “innovation driven development” are made to implementations. Thus, the university plays an important role in the national system, so that how the university gets involved in innovative activities becomes the primary problem of strategy. This paper utilizes Chinese university spin-offs survey data to identify the influence process from and to synergistic effect of organization. Design/methodology/approach: Firstly, we found that following the procedural view, each one of these three elements can be divided into two parts. Then, we established structural equation modeling with the connections between these six subdivisions. Secondly, by taking 270 university Spin-offs in China as samples, we verified the fit of the model through statistical data on the questionnaire survey. Thirdly, we analyzed the relationship and influence path of the innovation, and synergistic effect. Findings: The results of empirical research show that implementation process is positive correlation on both sides of synergistic effect, and, the intermediary role is obvious that external played a regulatory role between synergistic effects. Research limitations/implications: A large-scale questionnaire survey showed that the influence path of “institutions -organization-innovation performance are existed. Therefore, the system analysis framework should be introduced to the emergence and development of University spin-offs, and further explored the synergistic process of change and evolution. Practical implications: University spin-offs are a mode of university - industry cooperation, and it takes participation in market competition also as enterprise. This result of study pointed that. “Institutions” and “organizations” are the two important factors in synergistic innovation, so the synergy mechanism design should be followed by the interaction relationship between these two above. Originality/value: Synergistic is the guidance theory which leads the development trend of university-industrial cooperation in China. In this paper, the institution and organization, as the two primary elements, are introduced to analyze the process of synergistic innovation. Then, the authors discussed the role of the institutional innovation and organizational learning in the process of synergistic innovation, aimed at study on the operational mechanism of the influence factors.
Highlights
The core of strategy “Innovation drives development” is to solve the problem of how to drive is how to make industrialization and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements
For the internal organizational learning, the positive influence caused by institutional environment didn't pass the significance test, H5a was rejected; the standardization path coefficient of positive influence that caused by institutional implementation was 0.635, which passed through the significance test and verified assumption that internal organizational learning is affected positively by institutional implementation, H6a was established
For the transverse synergy effect, the positive influence caused by institutional environment didn't pass the significance test, H1a was rejected; the standardization path coefficient of positive influence that caused by institutional implementation was 0.125, the one caused by internal organizational learning was 0.575, he one caused by external organizational learning was 0.343, all the three passed through the significance test, so the H1b, H3a, H3b were established
Summary
The core of strategy “Innovation drives development” is to solve the problem of how to drive is how to make industrialization and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements. University spin-offs are the product of university – industry collaborative innovation. Compared with the traditional innovation main subject, University spin-offs are different in property and organization form. As the former one, it is different from public welfare institutions, while as the latter one, it is not completely the same as other enterprises. We discussed the correlation between the institutional innovation, organization study and synergies effect through the model test. On the basis of the discussions, we analyzed the path and mechanism of the synergies effect, and put forward the countermeasures and Suggestions for the development of Chinese university spin-offs
