Study on Enterprise Knowledge Creation Mechanism in the Collaborative Innovation of Industry-University-Research Institutions

Abstract

Abstract:Creating knowledge through collaborative innovation has become an important channel to increase enterprise innovation ability. Existing researches only gave the focus of attention to the relevant abilities of knowledge recipients but neglected the correlative dependence between the relevant abilities of knowledge recipients and the knowledge transfer abilities of knowledge providers. On the basis of defining university-research institutions as the body of knowledge transfer and enterprise as the body of knowledge acquisition, knowledge acquisition, knowledge integration and development, this article analyzed enterprise knowledge creation mechanism in the collaborative innovation of industry-university-research. The model of "premise-basis-core-result" shows, in collaborative innovation, enterprise knowledge creation depends on the enterprises' knowledge demand, appropriate selection to collaborative innovation modes and partners, the synergy between the knowledge transfer ability of the science-research institution and the relevant abilities of the enterprise and the enterprises' ability of the value realization of new knowledge in the market. The research result provides a new theory tool to explain the enterprise knowledge creation mechanism and a new train of thought to comprehend the relation between the collaborative innovation of industry-university-research and the enterprise knowledge creation mechanism.

The mediating role of psychological needs on the relationship between perceived organizational support and work engagement

“…Basic psychological needs were measured using the 21‐item Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG‐S). Gagné (2003) initially developed the instrument, and Liu (2017) translated it into Chinese. Items from the BNSG‐S were slightly modified to measure needs satisfaction in a working context.…”

“…Cronbach's alpha of this scale was 0.89 (Gagné, 2003). The Chinese version of the BNSG‐S showed good validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.915) (Liu, 2017).…”

Industry–University–Research Collaborative Innovation Mechanism in China: A Review

“…The term "mechanism" initially referred to the design and operation of a machine. Later, it came to mean the design, operation, and interplay of a complex working system and the physical and chemical principles governing certain natural occurrences (Liu, 2015). Researchers have conducted a great deal of research and produced a wealth of findings about the IUR collaborative innovation process.…”
