Empirical Study of the Role of Government Support and Success Factors in Industry-University-Institute Cooperation

Abstract

Empirical research methods were used to study the state of industry-university-institute collaboration in China and the factors influencing the results of cooperation between members of technological innovation alliances, from the dual perspectives of enterprises and universities/research institutes On the basis of questionnaire surveys of 100 universities/research institutes and 100 enterprises across the country, through factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and other methods, we conducted a thorough study of the impact of success factors and government support on the results of cooperation; we found that the format of an alliance has a significant promotional effect on the results of industry-university-institute cooperation, but universities/research institutes have not given this sufficient attention. Among the success factors for industry-university-institute cooperation, enterprises give equal weight to the factors of “ability” and “mechanisms,” while universities/research institutes emphasize “ability.” The government must strengthen policy support for enterprises and guiding support for universities/research institutes.
