Characteristic and Enlightenment on Universities Collaborative Innovation Mode of Japan Shikoku Area

Abstract

Collaborative innovation, with universities as the main body, is an important foundation for deepening the cooperation between industry, universities, and research institutes. Taking the collaborative innovation of five universities in Japan Shikoku area as an example, this paper summarizes the content of collaborative innovation in colleges and universities. The Shikoku SICO, which is established by government, is set to integrate the resource of university, enterprises, industry, and government, expand and broaden the knowledge chain, and promote knowledge flow and value realization through knowledge gathering and diffusion, knowledge dissemination and sharing, and knowledge transfer and application. Based on SICO's collaborative innovation mode of the Japan Shikoku area, five universities have established a virtuous circle of knowledge, capital, and talents, forming a collaborative innovation ecosystem characterized by symbiosis. From an ecology perspective, this paper establishes a regional collaborative innovation symbiotic system, which is characterized by knowledge, with the components of producer, consumer, decomposer, and catalyzer. Finally, from the perspective of constructing symbiosis system, this paper puts forward the experience of colleges and universities in Japan in terms of knowledge dissemination, knowledge transfer, and knowledge gathering.

Application of the Model of Integrated Learning to Colleges: A Review

“…"Theoretical Innovation in Education": The literature highlights the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Integrating innovation and entrepreneurship into educational curricula can enhance students' skills and prepare them for the demands of the modern workforce (Liu et al, 2021;Qu, 2021;Rii et al, 2022;Wang & Yu, 2019). "Collaborative Approaches": Collaborative networks and partnerships between educational institutions, industry, and government are essential for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in higher education.…”

From Theory to Practice: An Adaptive Development of Design Education

“…The strategies through the efficient and stable symbiotic interface achieving the evolution of symbiosis, are a new direction for educational improvement. Wang and Yu (2019) discussed the value of collaborative innovation, which significantly promoted industry and university cooperation. There are many good cases of university collaborative innovation, and they argued that "the synergy between ordinary universities creates much bigger value than the total value that each individual university can provide [12] (p. 12)".…”

Ruoslahti (2020), based on the European Union (EU) case study of promoting collaboration to explain the value of co-create knowledge, indicated that "complexity characterizes the co-creation of knowledge in innovation projects in various ways [13] (p. 228)".…”

Exploring the Practical Path of "Industry-University-Research-Use" in the Field of Internet+ for the Joint Construction of Business Administration Programmes by Schools and Enterprises

“…This mode of co-operation also provides more practical opportunities for students, who can not only exercise their skills in actual operation, but also interact closely with enterprise professionals and establish a practical professional network. In conclusion, in the era of Internet+, university-enterprise co-operation in building business administration majors and practicing the mode of "industry-academia-research-use" not only helps to cultivate talents with more practical application ability, but also promotes the innovation and development of enterprises, and provides a strong support for the sustainable growth of the economy [2] .…”
