A development planning of science and technology is an important basis for a government to allocate resources to the future scientific and technological activities. It reflects the strategic expectations of the government to the development prospects of science and technology, and to the influence level of science and technology to economic and social development.Since its founded in1958,The Scientific Work Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has been sequentially formulated and implemented long-term science and technology development planning, including four five-years plans and three long-term plans for the development of science and technology among others which have been kept correspondence with eight national planning and have played guidance and promotion roles to the healthy and steady development of science and technology in the different periods.The history of the government planning for development of science and technology in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region could be divided into four stages. The first stage from the establishment of the Government of the Autonomous Region in1947to the beginning of "the reform and open" in1978lays the "establish foundation, key development, catch up" as its goal, quickly establishing the scientific research foundation and the scientific research system."The Outline for Three-years planning and Development Idea for eight years (1960-1967) of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" and "The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region science and technology development planning of (1963-1972)" were formulated.There are three stages after "the reform and open" period. Each stage presents different characteristics. In the first stage, The Inner Mongolia autonomous region established the guiding ideology as "science and technology is the first productive forces" and the strategic policy as "facing, rely on", in order to explode the old system that economy disjointed from science and technology. The outlines for the development of science and technology in the region during the7th "five-years"(1986-1990) and8th "five-years"(1991-1995) were formulated respectively. In the second stage, through implementation of the strategy of "prospering the region area by science, technology and education", the guidelines of "innovation, industrialization" was established in order to adjust the infrastructure of organization for scientific and technological researches and construct new regional innovation system. In1996, the government issued "The Inner Mongolia autonomous region science and technology regulations". The strategic goal of constructing innovative province was put forward and "The decision about enhancing the ability of independent innovation, and building the innovative Inner Mongolia" and "The Inner Mongolia autonomous region long-term plan for science and technology development (2006-2020)" were issued. In the third stage, by exploring the road of independent innovation with own characteristic, striving to build a creative Inner Mongolia, the Inner Mongolia autonomous region achieved transformation from the model of economic growth to that of innovation driven. In2006, the Inner Mongolia autonomous region proposed the overall strategy of building the innovative Inner Mongolia in "The decision of Accelerating the Development of Science and Technology further". According to the policy of "the independent innovation, key support and leading over the future","The Outline Plan for science and technology development of the Medium and Long-term in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions (2006-2020)" was formulated. In the last fifty years, under the macro background of the national policies of science and technology, the Autonomous Region government has always been to formulate and perfect and implement its science and technology plans and strategy.But in the process of implementation of science and technology plans, there still existed some shortage, such as attaching importance to design decisions, despising execution evaluation; attaching importance to executive order, despising market guidance; attaching importance to the strategy level of province and city, despising the county level, etc. Especially in the evaluation process of the plan implement there were apparent shortage. Due to the wide range related, the difficulties of application of the principle and the method of evaluation, shortage of special fund support and other reasons, little attention was paid to the subsequent execution and evaluation of implementation process, the dynamic improvement or adjustment, and the final summarization, although a large number of manpower, financial and material resources were put in for the implementation of those plans. And therefore, the feasibility and effectiveness of those plans were ignored so that the potency of the plan for guidance to practice and progress of science and technology is restricted.Based on a large number of historical publication materials, internal issues, the present dissertation reviews and summarize comprehensively the planning processes and courses and tries to make a clear historical picture for the last50years and to provide a reference to the study of the history of policy for science and technology. This is not done before in the western national minorities areas of China. At the same time, applying the DEA method of science and technology policy performance evaluation to the "eleventh five-year plan" of Inner Mongolia, the author of the dissertation establishes the feasibility route choice model and method of the performance evaluation of science and technology planning of Inner Mongolia, provides scientific argumentation and valid methods for decision-making executive to set up the concept of performance evaluation in the future. Finally, some suggestions for strengthening technology assessment system construction are put forward. For instance, defining the role of assessment in the management; peed up the pace of The Inner Mongolia science and technology planning evaluation system.
