A Study On The Academic Innovation Mode Of The Disciplines In Universities Based Coordination And Innovation

The 21^st century is the era of knowledge-driven economy. Knowledge innovation is the foundation of technological innovation, the source of new technologies and inventions and the driving force to promote the development in science and technology, economic growth and social progress. Universities and colleges are one of the main bodies for knowledge innovation and an important force to build“innovative country”in China. Discipline is a unique basic structure differing universities and colleges from other organizations and the basic unit for universities and colleges to achieve three social functions: talents training, scientific research and service society.In the era of knowledge-driven economy, facing to the uncertainty of external competitive environment and the complexity of innovation activities, discipline should have knowledge storage, distribution and integration capabilities to maintain and improve its core competitiveness and innovation advantages, so as to successfully achieve knowledge innovation. However, discipline has limited resources and innovation ability, which cannot achieve self-sufficiency completely. Therefore, discipline can implement knowledge innovation and seek for survival and development by depending on the supply of external environmental resources. It also requires discipline to have the fourth function– collaborative innovation. Under the guidance of core discipline, numerous participants with different backgrounds form a discipline innovation ecosystem for common interests and targets through collaborative innovation. The internal members can learn from each other, share and use their innovations in this ecosystem, so as to make the core discipline to effectively use external resource, enhance and improve innovation ability and achieve innovation targets. At the same time, it can improve the overall competitiveness and risk resistant ability of the whole system, so as to ultimately make all members obtain benefits. Therefore, the paper regards key disciplines of the People's Liberation Army Military Medical University as the research object and deeply explores the coordination mechanism of key disciplines for implementing knowledge innovation in academic innovation ecosystem from the perspective of ecological theory, so as to provide necessary assistance for discipline in implementing knowledge innovation activities. The paper is divided into six chapters:Chapter I is an introduction, describing research background, significance, content and method.Chapter II is the research on basic theory, proposing the theory hypothesis of constructing universities'academic innovation ecosystem through research on innovation theory, ecology theory, innovation ecosystem theory, academic ecosystem theory, collaborative theory and other related theories.Chapter III is the research on the theory of academic innovation ecosystem of universities and colleges, defining the concept, characteristics, scope, conditions and mechanism of universities'academic innovation ecosystem.The concept of universities'academic innovation ecosystem refers to the overall system formed from interaction and interdependence by the universities'academic innovation complex organization and innovation complex environment through innovation materials, energy and information flows in a certain space and time. The academic innovation complex organization is made up of main innovation discipline and other disciplines related to technological innovation etc. The innovation complex environment is integrated with market, technology development, physical environment, cultural environment, social environment, natural environment and other factors.The characteristics of universities'academic innovation ecosystem: academic innovation ecosystem is developed from academic ecosystem; academic innovation ecosystem is a new knowledge innovation strategy applied by universities for adapting rapid development of economic and technological environment; academic innovation ecosystem is a system creating academic value for the members in this system; common evolution is the target of academic innovation ecosystem; academic innovation ecosystem has target and controllability because it is formed by involving human factors.The composition of universities'academic innovation ecosystem: based on the whole process of academic innovation activities, academic innovation ecosystem is divided into core layer, collaboration layer and value realization layer in turn from the inside to the outside. The knowledge innovation conditions of universities'academic innovation ecosystem are made up of academic innovation environment, competition and cooperation, resource sharing, academic organization change and academic cluster and alliance five aspects. Three stages of knowledge innovation of universities'academic innovation ecosystem constantly adjust knowledge structure and undergo knowledge inheritance process on the basis of environmental factor changes under the action of knowledge storage mechanism, knowledge circulation mechanism and knowledge integration mechanism. Chapter IV Research on Construction of Academic Innovation Ecosystem Model in Universities.1. Interview research on collaborative innovation in academic innovation ecosystem. Through the interview research taking grounded theory as research method we initially established collaborative innovation cooperation mode in academic innovation ecosystem.2. Analysis on exploratory factors of collaborative innovation in academic innovation ecosystem 47 factors affecting the collaborative innovation in universities'academic innovation ecosystem are determined on the basis of researching literature. The exploratory factors analysis results showed that there are 41 factors affecting the collaborative innovation in universities'academic innovation ecosystem. Three common factors are extracted (target, partner and cooperation), so as to establish TPC innovation model. The universal competence of innovative talents‘self-rating form was analyzed by explaining the variance rate (74.05%), which was good construct validity. Internal consistency analysis showed that the Cronbach alpha coefficient ranged from 0.8016?0.9242 and the split-half coefficient ranged from 0.6369⁰.8721.Chapter V adopts two successful cases in order to verify the rationality and effectiveness of TPC (Target, Partner, and Cooperation) innovation model.Institute of Burn Research affiliated to Southwest Hospital and Institute of War Injury affiliated to Daping Hospital is the successful example of collaborative innovation in academic innovation ecosystem, which is worth learning by others. It is confirmed that TPC innovation model is the model learned for collaborative innovation in universities'academic innovation ecosystem at current stage.Chapter VI focuses on discussion and outlook. This chapter summarizes the research results, refines innovation concepts, propose the theory that TPC (Target, Partner, Cooperation) innovation model is the model learned for collaborative innovation in universities'academic innovation ecosystem at current stage, find the inadequacy of the research and put forward the outlook for following research by combining the research results with some shortcomings of existing related methods.
