Study On The Influence Mechanism Of Internal Knowledge Transfer In The Industry-university-research Collaborative Innovation Team

Since the 18 th National Party Congress, China regards innovation drive and enhancing the ability of independent innovation as an important national development strategy. At the Academicians Conference in 2014, Jinping Xi emphasized that China must invest in collaborative innovation and form a powerful force to promote independent innovation. The main operation mode of collaborative innovation is Industry-University-Research(I-U-R) collaborative innovation, so the I-U-R collaborative innovation has become a new organizational model for innovative country to improve the ability of independent innovation, and it is an effective way to integrate innovative resources and improve the efficiency of innovation. In the I-U-R collaborative innovation organization, collaborative innovation team is the key to ensure the success of its collaborative innovation activities. At present, the majority of Chinese I-U-R collaborative innovation team is based on collaborative innovation center, which undertakes the strategic development needs of the country or region and the major scientific and technological tasks for the purpose, promotes scientific research, personnel training, industrial innovation as the goal, engages in knowledge creation activities related to science and technology innovation, and more emphasis on knowledge innovation than the general knowledge intensive organization.Knowledge among the I-U-R collaborative innovation team members is constantly increasing value in the flow, and I-U-R collaborative innovation team can achieve complementary resources and collaborative development through knowledge transfer. Meantime, the smooth flows of knowledge among the various members determine the collaborative innovation capability. Therefore, knowledge transfer is the essence of collaborative innovation activities, and it is a necessary process of collaborative innovation activities. The success of knowledge transfer effectively promotes the scientific research and personnel training level of universities and scientific research institutes and the innovation ability of enterprises, drives the rapid development of regional economy and the national economy, and it is the great significance for the formation and development of China’s national innovation system.However, it is not easy to understand the rule of knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation, and it is not easy to control it in practice. Through literature research and field research, some difficulties and obstacles in the knowledge sharing and knowledge absorption among team members in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team are found, which not only restrict the effect of knowledge transfer activities, but also affect the level of team collaborative innovation. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of how to improve the internal knowledge transfer efficiency of the collaborative innovation team.Based on the theory and thought of knowledge collaboration, complexity science, and team effectiveness, and using the method of structural equation modeling and taking collaborative innovation team as the research object, the influence mechanism of knowledge transfer within the teams is studied. The study enriches and develops the theory and point of the internal knowledge transfer activities, which provides a feasible suggestion and reference for the practice of internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team.In this paper, the main research contents include six aspects.First of all, reference to the definition of team and the meaning of the I-U-R collaborative innovation, the concept of the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is defined, and the connotation and characteristics of the I-U-R collaborative innovation team are expounded from the target level, operation level and organization level. The definition of knowledge transfer within the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is scientifically defined, and the unique characteristics of knowledge transfer within the I-U-R collaborative innovation team are disussed from the task complexity, knowledge depth and width among the transfer subjects, the knowledge characteristics, the establishment time of the trust relationship within the team and multiple regulation.According to the system theory, the dissipative structure characteristics of the internal knowledge transfer system of the I-U-R collaborative innovation team are analyzed, the entropy change model of the internal knowledge transfer system of the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is constructed, and the dissipative structure evolution of knowledge transfer system is analyzed. Then, based on the dissipative structure theory, the internal knowledge transfer model in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is built, the elements and main process of knowledge transfer are analyzed, and the essence of the internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is revealed.Based on the team effectiveness theory and complexity science, the "I-P-O" theory model is proposed to study the influence mechanism of internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team; by scientific definition of the dimensions of the research variables, the concept model of the influence mechanism of knowledge transfer is constructed; and by analyzing the influence degree and the way of each influence factor on the knowledge transfer efficiency to determine the relationship between the research variables, and construct the hypothesis model of this study.Based on the relevant literature research both here and abroad, the initial measurement of the influence mechanism of the internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is designed; and a small scale depth interview method was used to revise the original scale and through a small sample pre survey to evaluate reliability and validity of the original measurement scale quantitatively; In the end, the formal scale of the influence mechanism of the internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is built based on qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the revision.Using the formal measurement scale, selecting the object of investigation and distributing and recovering the questionnaires, the influence mechanism of internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team has been empirically verified by the data analysis, including: descriptive statistical analysis of empirical data, introduction of analysis method and the selection of statistical analysis software, measurement model validation, structural model validation; finally, the results of empirical research are summarized and discussed.Finally, From the microscopic view of collaborative innovation team, the medium view of the organization of the I-U-R, amd macroscopic view of government departments, the optimization strategies of the internal knowledge transfer efficiency in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team are proposed in the three dimensional comprehensive perspective.In this paper, the main academic contributions include: based on the dissipative structure theory, the internal knowledge transfer model in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is built, and the essence of the internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team is revealed; based on the team effectiveness theory and complexity science, the theory model is proposed to study the influence mechanism of internal knowledge transfer in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team which will research the system input factors how to influence the knowledge transfer effectiveness through team interaction intermediary role in the process of knowledge transfer, and using PLS structural equation modeling approach to empirically test the intermediary role of the communication quality and innovation support in knowledge transfer influence mechanism within the I-U-R collaborative innovation team and find the communication quality and innovation support to play a greater role in knowledge transfer; based on the empirical research conclusion, the optimization strategies of the internal knowledge transfer efficiency in the I-U-R collaborative innovation team are proposed.
