Research On The University Innovative Academic Team

Nowadays the convergence innovation and interdisciplinary synergy is one of the most important characters for science and technology development. The achievements of the key scientific and technological research increasingly need the building of innovative academic teams and concentrating strength on joint tackling of major projects. As the principal talents training base and talents gathering highland, higher schools play a more and more important role in the state innovative system. Higher schools have the advantages to set up diversified disciplinary and talents reservoir. It is capable and necessary for higher schools to develop on management creation, explore and build a creative team which is made up by multi-disciplinary led by universities talents and academic leader. The research on universities creative academic team has become the important contents in the building of universities talents and academic organization research and practice. The paper mainly centers on the research on the building of the creative academic team and includes seven chapters.Chapter One is the introduction, which points out the research background. It analyzes the trend of science and technology development nowadays and the history missions which our universities burden in the establishment of an innovation country. Research perspective, method and route are hereby brought forward.Chapter Two is the fundamental analysis of universities innovative academic teams. The chapter gets through the domain of Management Science, Science of Science, Higher Education, provides the definition of the connotation of the universities innovative academic teams and the characteristics which are different from other working teams. In terms of system method, the chapter statically analyzes the constituent elements and external circumstances of the universities innovative academic teams. By borrowing Life Cycle Assessment Theory, the chapter establishes the life cycle model of the universities innovative academic teams and elaborates the emphasis for the team management at the different stage of the whole life cycle. The chapter analyzes several typical organize structure model of the universities innovative academic teams. Based on the analysis, the chapter studies the development stratagem of the universities innovative academic teams. Chapter Three is the case study on universities innovative academic teams research. The six cases are Cavendish Laboratory, Human Genome Project(HGP), Bio-X Center Stanford University, State Key Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures at Nanjing University, ZHANG Litong Team at Northwestern Polytechnical University and Metastable Materials Science Team at YanShan University. By probing into their success experiences and confirms the analysis at the second chapter, Chapter Three induces the most important external and internal factors which effect the establishment, operating and development of the universities innovative academic teams.Chapter Four is the Core Competence analysis on universities innovative academic teams. By introducing the Core Competence Theory into the universities innovative academic teams research, based on the theory and case study, the chapter puts forward that the elements of an excellent universities innovative academic team concludes outstanding leader, first-class researth team, advanced Management mechanism and innovative harmonious team culture. The chapter exploers the core competence of universities innovative academic teams in the theory, puts forwead that the most four important competence of universities innovative academic teams are interactive force of the team and the scocity, science creativity, cohesion and developmental force of the team, operation force and transform force on the resource.Chapter Five is the motive mechanism analysis on the universities innovative academic teams. Through system dynamics method, the chapter analyzes the cause-effect relationships among the key factors for the universities innovative academic teams and establishes the relevant system dynamics model and simplified dynamic model for running the universities innovative academic teams, meanwhile, the chapter puts forward the idea that Performance Appraisal Mechanism, Benefit Allocation Mechanism and Culture Construction Mechanism are the three most important motive mechanisms for the development of the universities innovative academic teams. Furthermore, the chapter gives a profound analysis of the three mechanisms and takes a multi-dimensional perspective examination of the performance appraisal on the universities innovative academic teams. The chapter sets forth some universal principles and concepts in order to provide more practical strategies and ideas for performance appraisal. The chapter introduces the idea that the benefits of the universities innovative academic teams involve economic benefit and academic benefit. Universities innovative academic teams should design teams performance payment system in terms of scientific and rational use, fair and competition, also should determine the ordering relationship of the academic results according to scientific and normal standard, contribution favored and procedure democracy. The chapter brings forward that the organization culture of the universities innovative academic teams is made up of values sub-system from spirit level, form sub-system from material level and personal relationship sub-system from behavior level and the core element of the organization culture is the team cohesion. The universities innovative academic teams should advocate the concept of academic-centered and innovation to strengthen the organization culture construction, also need to create smooth and corporation environment for innovative academic teams and finally construct ordered competition and harmonious coexistence of teams human resources pattern.Chapter Six is the analysis on the current situation of the construction of the universities innovative academic teams. The chapter provides the summary, carding, comparison and analysis of policy constitution for the building of the universities innovative academic teams from the central governmental level, local governmental level and universities' level. Meanwhile, the chapter points out some problems during the building of the current construction of the universities innovative academic teams.Chapter Seven gives some policy suggestions on the construction of the universities innovative academic teams. According to the theories and case studies mentioned in the former chapters and the problems summarized in the last chapter, the seventh chapter puts forward the relative principles for the construction of the universities innovative academic teams and finally separately gives some suggestions both on governmental level and on universities' level.
