Evaluation And Optimization Of The Efficiency Of Cooperation Among Industry, University And Research Institute In Shanxi Province

Technological innovation is the inexhaustible motive force for regional scientific and technological progress and sustainable economic development, and it is also the wonder-working magic for the enterprises to secure an invincible position in fierce market competition. How to effectively promote technological innovation has become a national or regional focus issue. As an effective way to strengthen the technological innovation, cooperation in terms of industry, university and research institute plays an important role in regional innovation system. To promote cooperation among industry, university and research institute integrates the respective advantage of enterprises, universities and research institutes, aggregates effectively regional resources and enhances the efficiency of innovation factors. Therefore, it has great significance for strengthening effective integration of regional resources, enhancing the regional innovation ability and promoting economic development to do quantitative research on the efficiency of cooperation among industry, university and research institute and find out the main influencing factors.Based on the introduction of technological innovation theory, transaction cost theory, property theory and asymmetric information, the input and output cooperation among industry, university and research institute is analyzed by contrast Shanxi province with the other provinces in central, Beijing, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and then the situation and existing problem in Shanxi are analyzed. Then the evaluation of cooperation among industry, university and research institute in Shanxi is put forward according to related principle and concerning information, and then the efficiency of cooperation among industry, university and research institute in 31 provinces is evaluated and compared. From the analysis, it is drown that the efficiency in Shanxi province is lower. The main factors leading to low efficiency are listed as followed:R&D total expenses, scientific research funds from the government, the number of scientists, turnover of technology market contrast and R&D subjects of scientific research institutes. According to projection principle of DEA and aimed at slack variables and remaining variables in index, the input indicators should be reduced by 40% on average, and three kind patent pending, technology market contrast turnover, the number of university technology service issues and new products value of high-tech industry output in output index system should be increased by 11.28%, 216%, 47% and 74.8% respectively. After the adjustment, the cooperation among industry, university and research institute is effective. Finally, some measures are put forward to increase financial and human investment and optimize the external environment in order to improve the efficiency of cooperation among industry, university and research institute, accelerate the pace of regional technology innovation and promote economic development.The innovation of this paper is conducting a quantitative evaluation on cooperation among industry, university and research institute by DEA, which makes decision-making have a more intuitive understanding on the efficiency of cooperation among industry, university and research institute and provides basis for formulating relevant policies.
