The Relativity Between A Discipline Innovation And Its Unit Structure And Behavior In China's University: A Case Study

University is the foundation for construct a learning society, an affluent society, an innovational society and a harmonious society. Discipline is the key organization in university to realize the function of cultivating human talents, carrying out research and servicing sociaty. The level and the innovation ability of discipline presents the level of university. Since the reform and opening-up, along with carrying out a series of discipline construct practice such as"211 Project","985 Project"and Higher Education Quality Project, the evel and the innovation ability of discipline has been promoted remarkably. However, it is insufficiency to understand the innovation process, innovation mechanism and management of discipline, as well as obstacles of institutional mechanism, all of which will hold back the sustainable development of discipline.On the basis of survey on the development history and evolution process of typical disciplines, this dissertation hold that there is a significant relativity between the discipline innovation ability and its organizational structure and behavior. Taking four engineering disciplines of a certain university as example, we carried out a systematic study on the relativity. The main creative outcomes as follows:Firstly, we defined three mechanisms that link the S&T innovation units and present six type of organizational structures of discipline and two type of innovation behaviors. According to the survey, we defined the linkage mechanisms among the S&T innovation units in discipline as three types and presented the six forms of interaction of the S&T innovation units under the linking mechanism. The innovation behaviors and learning behaviors were discussed.Secondly, six matrix forms were given to describe the six forms of organizational structure of discipline, and established a NK model and a logistic model based on influence matrix. The NK model studied the relativity between the organizational structure of discipline and its innovation ability. the logistic model studied the relativity between the innovation ability of discipline and the behaviors and learning behaviors of discipline under different organizational structures.Thirdly, we analyzed the innovation path and SEM of discipline under different organizational structures and different innovatin behaviors. According to relevant data from the samples, and on the basis of verifying the relativity between the discipline innovation ability and its organizational structure and behavior, it discussed the direct influence and the intermediate variable of in direct influence that organizational structures and innovatin behavior have on innovation ability and the innovation path of discipline.Fourthly, we proposed some relevant recommendations. Based on the analysis and research, we gave some recommendation on howuniversity enhance their discipline constructure from the perspective of optimizing the discipline organizing structure and promoting innovation behavior.
