University Innovation and Local Economic Growth

Abstract This paper identifies the extent to which knowledge from U.S. universities drives industry agglomeration. Establishment-level data indicate faster growth in employment, wages, and corporate innovation after the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act's shock to the spread of innovation from universities in industries more closely related to the nearby university's innovative strengths. Federal research funding amplified the effect. University knowledge spillovers strengthen with geographic proximity, density, and local skills. Consistent with spatial equilibrium models, the growth effect is driven by nearby entry in university-linked industries, especially of multiunit expansions; these firms disproportionately partner with universities in R&D, transfer IP, and innovate.

EVALUASI KEBIJAKAN TENTANG MANAJEMEN INOVASI PERGURUAN TINGGI (MIPT) DI PERGURUAN TINGGI NEGERI

Policy Evaluation of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education Regulation No. 24 of 2019 aims to encourage The University (PT) to manage innovations that impact people's lives. The management of innovation in State Universities (PTN) is not optimal as expected. For this reason, the implementation of Higher Education Innovation Management (MIPT) is expected to play an optimal role in facilitating and realizing the improvement, development, and utilization of research results in PTN. Steps and strategies are taken by the Ministry of Research and Technology (Kemristek)/National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) to realize research innovations in PT, specifically by encouraging the implementation of Innovation Management in their respective PT. In addition, they are providing technical guidance in measuring innovation performance to provide the expected results, namely strengthening innovation at PT. The implementation of MIPT in PTN has been effectively implemented and has become the primary goal of PTN, but there are still obstacles in its implementation. Several factors of emphasis in increasing the productivity of innovation performance are related to the number of researches, inventions, innovation products, strengthening innovation management institutional policies, and organizational arrangements that require the formation of innovation management institutions. The challenges of PTN in MIPT are related to the stages of commercializing innovation products to the industrial world, managing Intellectual Property Rights and Patents. Some recommendations that need to be considered are the need for continuity of socialization, the availability of technical modules that provide detailed explanations of what PTN must do in managing innovation and clarity of authority over the Regulation No. 24 of 2019 concerning MIPT.

Exploration on the integration of innovation and entrepre-neurship education into the talent training system of colleges and universities under the background of double-first con-struction

Science and technology and innovation are the main drivers of social development at this stage. Modern national governance and education system should further improve the strength of innovation and entrepreneurship education. However, at present, some colleges and universities focus on professional subject education, and have insufficient knowledge and attention to innovation and entrepreneurship education. Even if they offer entrepreneurship-related courses, there are still problems such as ambiguous teaching content, weak entrepreneurship teaching atmosphere, and utilitarian teaching objectives. To this end, this paper focuses on the national double-first construction strategic tasks, innovative talent training system research, and colleges and universities’ innovative talent training plan.

Innovation Model of College Education Based on Nonlinear Random Matrix Organization and Management

At present, the scientific research and innovation team in colleges and universities has become an important carrier for the development of science and technology and personnel training in China, but in terms of its development status, the role of the scientific research and innovation team has not been really brought into play. Most colleges and universities only have the organizational form of scientific research and innovation teams. Too many scientific research tasks still rely on a small number of backbones. The cohesion of the team is not enough, and the combined force of the team is not manifested. In production practice, more and more high-dimensional data with dimension p approaching or even exceeding the number of samples n are collected and stored. Unlike traditional data analysis, high-dimensional data analysis is more complex and difficult. Layer of scientific research and innovation teams in colleges and universities is often ignored by managers, which is manifested by ignoring the cultural construction of the team. In the eyes of team managers, the time spent on building a team culture is far less than the time it takes to do a few more scientific experiments. University scientific research and innovation team is a multi-level network system. The asymptotic and nonasymptotic theories of random matrices break the framework of classical multivariate statistical analysis and are very suitable for the study of statistical characteristics of high-dimensional data, which can help machine learning algorithms to complete the analysis of high-dimensional data and expand its application range. The research and innovation team in colleges and universities is deeply analyzed from the perspective of nonlinearity. It is believed that the scientific research and innovation team in colleges and universities is a complex nonlinear system in terms of scientific research objects-interdisciplinary research, or from the perspective of personnel composition. Correspondingly, the construction should be considered from a nonlinear perspective in the process, following the systematic, integral, and multi-dimensional characteristics of nonlinear systems. Specifically applied to the construction of the team, first, from a macro perspective, three principles should be paid attention to at the beginning of the creation of the team, and then the specific application should be explained in detail. It is hoped that a new perspective will be put forward in the construction of scientific research innovation teams in colleges and universities to better promote the development of teams.

Research on Structuring a “Student-Centered” Training Model of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Graduates in Colleges and Universities

“Student-centered” innovation and entrepreneurship education is a new perspective and new model of higher education concepts in the new century. At present, the talent training model of innovation and entrepreneurship education in Chinese universities has undesirable problems such as the lack of integration of content, the convergence of educational methods, the oversimplistic training method, and the quality of teachers to be improved, which directly affects the effect of innovation and entrepreneurship education. Constructing a student-centered innovation and entrepreneurship education model that effectively combines student development, student learning, and learning effects is a powerful manifestation to emphasize the dominant position of students in the school education system. Establishing a student-centered education concept, a teaching system, and a team of teachers with innovative and entrepreneurial qualities is an important guarantee for building a “student-centered” innovation and entrepreneurship education model. It is also the true embodiment of student-centered, student-based characteristics and the connotation of innovation and entrepreneurship education.

The Relationship Between College Students’ Entrepreneurial Intention and the Teaching Quality of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Practice

A thorough understanding of the current Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) practice education mode in colleges and universities and the college students’ entrepreneurial intention is crucial to enabling the entrepreneurship of college students to play a more important role in the development of social economy. However, existing studies generally neglect the influence of college students’ entrepreneurial intention on the teaching quality of I&E practice, so to fill in this research blank, this paper aims to study the relationship between college students’ entrepreneurial intention and the teaching quality of I&E practice. In the beginning, this paper built a research model for the relationship between college students’ entrepreneurial intention and the teaching mode of I&E practice in colleges and universities and an analysis model for the college students’ entrepreneurial intention. Then, this paper adopted the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (IF-AHP) to further analyze college students’ entrepreneurial intention, and the correlation between college students’ entrepreneurial intention and the teaching mode of I&E practice in colleges and universities was analyzed in detail. After that, in the experiment, this paper focused on 7 core factors in 5 dimensions, and performed cross analysis on these extracted factors and college students’ entrepreneurial intention. At last, this paper summarized the data of 6 monitoring items of 2 sample sets and gave the scores of college students’ entrepreneurial intention in the 6 aspects, and the results suggested that for college students with stronger entrepreneurial intention, the teaching quality of I&E practice was higher.

Research on the Construction of the Second Classroom of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Industry Characteristic Universities

The study conducted a survey among the university with typical industry characteristics and analyzed the current situation together with problems about the construction of the second classroom of innovation and entrepreneurship education. It found that the positive role of the second classroom was generally recognized by college students. However, there were some deficiencies in the second classroom of innovation and entrepreneurship, such as, low participation rates, utilitarian tendency and inefficiency of comprehensive management etc. In order to promote the development of the educational function of the second classroom, the incentive mechanism of innovation and the entrepreneurship evaluation should be improved, the faculty building and integrated management in second classroom of innovation and entrepreneurship should be strengthened on the premise of confronting the role about the second classroom of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Analysis on the Moderating Effect of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Mode and Locus of Control of College Teachers and Students Based on Comic Style Recognition.

This study was carried out to explore the moderating effect of comic education and locus of control (LOC) in innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Firstly, the theoretical knowledge of comic education, innovation and entrepreneurship education, and LOC was briefly introduced, and the significance of comics for innovation and entrepreneurship education was discussed. Secondly, the existing innovation and entrepreneurship education modes in colleges and universities in China were introduced. Thirdly, a simple comparative analysis was conducted on the internal and external characteristics of LOC. Finally, an investigation was performed on the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of college students. The results demonstrate that the average score of students’ innovation spirit is 3.302, with a standard deviation of 0.481, suggesting that the current college students’ overall innovative spirit is moderate. Besides, students get moderate scores in each dimension, and the difference between different students is slight. Among them, the mean of reflectiveness is the highest (M = 3.446, SD = 0.540), and the mean of criticality is the lowest (M = 3.160, SD = 0.481). The average score of the current students’ entrepreneurial ability is 3.112, indicating that the students’ entrepreneurial ability is above the average. From the perspective of each dimension, students have the lowest score in opportunity discovery ability, which is at a low level (M = 2.821, SD = 0.873), while the other five dimensions are at a medium level. The highest is strategic decision-making ability (M = 3.264, SD = 0.749). At the same time, factors such as gender, grade, institution, and students’ relatives significantly impact students’ innovation and entrepreneurship ability. It can be concluded that colleges and universities should focus on controlling the quality of innovation and entrepreneurship teaching and guiding and carrying out innovation and entrepreneurship practice activities. They should also encourage students to participate in courses and activities related to innovation and entrepreneurship to improve college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship ability.

Research on Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Model in Colleges and Universities Based on The Integration of Specialty and Innovation

With the introduction of the educational concepts of "innovation and entrepreneurship" education and "three comprehensive education" in colleges and universities, different colleges and universities have also begun to introduce extracurricular entrepreneurship practice cases and information-based dual-creation service platforms in the teaching activities of subject curriculum content. And developed a complete set of systematic "integration of innovation and integration" teaching plan. From the perspective of "integration of specialization and innovation" in the construction of disciplines and majors, the integration of production and education and school-enterprise cooperation education in different disciplines in colleges and universities should be based on the teaching system of "integration of specialization and innovation" and the information-based innovation and entrepreneurship service platform. Under the integrated teaching situation, reform and innovate the original classroom teaching content and education mode, strengthen the problem exploration and interactive communication between teachers and students, and focus on the cultivation of students' innovative and entrepreneurial awareness, theoretical and practical skills, so as to solve the problem of professional knowledge teaching. The contradictions in the demand of social talents.

The Recommendation System of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Resources in Universities Based on Improved Collaborative Filtering Model.

In the huge number of online university education resources, it is difficult for learners to quickly locate the resources they need, which leads to “information trek.” Traditional information recommendation methods tend to ignore the characteristics of learners, who are the main subjects of education. In order to improve the recommendation accuracy, a recommendation algorithm based on improved collaborative filtering model is proposed in this paper. Firstly, according to the student behavior data, consider the behavior order to create the behavior graph and behavior route. Then, the path of text type is vectorized by the Keras Tokenizer method. Finally, the similarity between multidimensional behavior path vectors is calculated, and path collaborative filtering recommendations are performed for each dimension separately. The MOOC data of a university in China are introduced to experimentally compare the algorithm of the article as well as the control group algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm takes better values in evaluation indexes, thus verifying that this algorithm can improve the effectiveness of innovation and entrepreneurship education resources recommendation in universities.

Pedagogical Innovation in Universities’ Teaching

Pedagogical innovation is critical in the twenty-first century, and each university, classroom or educational institution must take this point as an ultimate goal of their educational system. Professors are responsible for preparing students to tackle new challenges, which is why innovative teaching methods have become important for keeping spirit up.
 This paper sheds light on pedagogical innovation at universities and give a review of its many forms, features, methodologies, and significance in the twenty-first century. It has been found that the types of pedagogical innovation are classified socially and technically. Moreover, the paper asserts that the innovative teaching methods do not consider all students at the same comprehension level according to their different abilities and skills.

“The Entrepreneurial University:”

The notion of the “Entrepreneurial University” refers to a type of educational institution that enhances university-industry cooperation, applies innovative learning methods, and promotes multidisciplinary approaches. This article explores new challenges that Azerbaijani universities have faced as part of the Azerbaijani higher education transformation in the post-Soviet period. The research investigated the experiences of Western-style universities that have been building relationships with Western partners with substantial leadership experience in university innovation and, specifically, in establishing entrepreneurial universities. This paper argues that Azerbaijan's transition to a knowledge economy will require a substantive transformation of the country’s higher education system and, as such, must develop the entrepreneurial university model that has been embraced as an effective response to the challenges of our time by some U.S. universities.

The relationship between universities and business: identification of thematic communities

This article analyses the link between universities and business from a neo-Schumpeterian evolutionary theory perspective. It aims to identify the thematic communities present in the literature that deals with the university-business relationship, highlighting the focuses of interest of this literature and currently emerging themes. Social network analysis and text mining tools are used for this purpose. The present contribution differs from other reviews by using large datasets, which made it possible to discern aggregate trends in scientific output. Six thematic communities were detected in the literature: technology parks, entrepreneurial university, triple helix, transfer channels, geographic perspective and open innovation. Once these communities were defined, the characteristics of each one were identified, along with their linkages, differences and limitations, with a view to gaining an understanding of the knowledge transfer processes.

Strategies for Cultivating College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurial Ability

Employment is the first priority for survival today. With the increasingly severe employment situation, the employment problem of college students has become inevitable. In recent years, with the expansion of university scale, the number of university graduates is increasing rapidly, with an imbalance in the number, structure, and social demand of talents; moreover, there are significant differences between college students’ employment quality and social expectations. In order to cultivate the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of college students, this paper provides new ideas, analyzes the factors affecting the formation and development of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship ability, as well as proposes several strategies to enhance its scientificity, pertinence, and effectiveness, which are conducive to further strengthening innovation and entrepreneurship education as well as cultivating innovation and entrepreneurship talents in colleges and universities, thus providing strong support for talent training and teaching reform in colleges and universities in China. It also provides a solid foundation for China’s social innovation and entrepreneurship, along with innovative and entrepreneurial services to meet the needs of society, so as to improve the success rate of entrepreneurship among college students, effectively promote entrepreneurship-driven employment, and solve the employment problems of college students, which are conducive to China’s rapid transformation into an innovative country and a powerful country in terms of human resources.

Development of a university innovation ecosystem assessment model for Association of Southeast Asian Nations universities

Universities are centres of innovation and technology transfer, and they play a particularly strong role in the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) with developing technology programs. However, there are only a few assessment tools for evaluating a university’s innovation ecosystem, and these tools are frequently lacking either in terms of process orientation or in other gaps. The objective of this research was to develop a model of an innovation ecosystem for an ASEAN university and to identify the relative importance of each factor. A multi-method approach was used. In the Stage 1 research, a Delphi study of ASEAN-based university innovation experts ( n = 40) was conducted. This research resulted in a preliminary assessment tool. This tool was then evaluated through a broader survey of university innovation experts in ASEAN ( n = 418). The data were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis. The results identified a total of 21 innovation areas in four role-based domains: Leaders and Governors, Educators, Innovators and Connectors. The resulting assessment instrument is suitable for use in university innovation ecosystem development and policy making.
