Study On The Models And Mechanism Of Industry-university Collaborative Innovation Inagro-industry

The theoretical research and industrial practice show that industry-university collaboration (referred to as IUC) has become an important channel which promotes industrial innovation. Agro-industry has larger-scale, higher efficiency and greater contribution than agriculture, to the developing countries, it should be given priority to develop in the early and mid-term industrialization. Compared with developed countries, the capability of independent innovation of China's agro-industry is still weak. The "Eleventh Five-year" development plan of agro-industry clearly points out that, in order to improve the innovative capability of agro-industry, we should build agro-industrial technology innovation system, through the effective integration of universities, research institutes and enterprises. Therefore, it is worthwhile to research on IUC of agro-industry.This topic is derived from the humanities and social science research project《Study on empirical and mechanism of industry-university collaboration in agro-industry》(2008y229), which is supported by Hubei Department of Education. In this paper, we make use of document analysis, comparative studies, case studies, mathematical statistics and other methods to carry out research work, and integrate qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as the combination of mechanism design theory, collaborative innovation theory and game theory. The research focuses on the models and mechanism design of IUC innovation in agro-industry. In the first part, we give a targeted review and comment on the research of IUC at home and abroad, and then taking the characteristics of agro-industry and the status quo of IUC as the starting point, we consider that the IUC of China's agro-industry is inefficient, and the collaborative model is single, one of the important reasons for this situation is that the IUC of agro-industry is lack of theory guidance which is in line with the characteristics of agro-industry. In the second part, we make systematic analysis on the typical models and their respective advantages and disadvantages of IUC in agro-industry, and point out the impact factors of model selection. On this basis, we explore the main problems of IUC innovation in the third part, and set up IUC innovation mechanism in which agro-processing enterprises are main part. The mechanism includes the dynamic mechanism, incentive mechanism and restraint mechanism. We also study on sub-system of above mechanism. Finally, we take Guangdong Wens Food Group Co., Ltd. for case study, which is related to the organic combination of theory and practice. The study of models and mechanism of IUC in agro-industry has great importance, it provides a theoretical guidance to IUC of agro-industry, and accelerates the construction of agro-industrial technology innovation system, as well as enhances the international competitiveness of agro-industry.
