The Empirical Research Of The Chinese R&D Cooperation Capability

Knowledge capital become the main driving force of the national and regional development instead of labor and land in the era of global knowledge-based economy. Knowledge development is no longer achieved by a single organization in the knowledge society. It is means that different enterprises and organizations need to cooperative research in the knowledge exchange, especially in the process of knowledge research and development. The relation of nations, regions and business/organizations is from the competition of the material resources to the competition and cooperation of knowledge research and development. With the foundation of Xiang Liling's regional knowledge competitiveness index system, this thesis tries to build Chinese R&D cooperation capability index system to research the status of R&D cooperation capability in Chinese regions and comprehensively evaluate some regions, and then to measure the contribution between R&D cooperation capability with knowledge innovation capability and regional knowledge competitiveness. This thesis consists of four chapters:Chapter 1:The preface. This chapter introduces the significance, the evolution paths, the main contents, the scientific problems to be solved, and the innovations.Chapter 2:The relative conceptions and basic theories of R&D coopera-tion capability. This chapter analyzes the conceptions of R&D and R&D cooperation and introduces the theoretical foundation of R&D cooperation capability. The theoretical framework of R&D cooperation capability will be built and studied empirically.Chapter 3:The empirical research of the Chinese R&D cooperation capability. This chapter includes four aspects:Firstly, the author analyses the elements which constitute the regional R&D cooperation capability. Secondly, the author determines the index system of R&D cooperation capability in China. Thirdly, the author determines the evaluation methods and steps of R&D cooperation capability in China. Fourthly, the author measures and evaluates the R&D cooperation capability index in various provinces, municipalities and autonomou regions from 2006 to 2007.Chapter 4:The main conclusion, the proposal and the outlooks. This chapter includes main conclusion, the strategy of promoting the R&D cooperation capability in Shanxi province, the research limitations and the outlooks.This thesis mainly uses the analytic method and comparative method in the construction of R&D cooperation capability index system; the weighted comprehensive measurement and statistical analysis (through Excel software) in the measurement and evaluation of R&D cooperation capability; and the correlation analysis and regression analysis statistical method (through SPSS software) in the assessment of the contribution between R&D co-operation capability with knowledge innovation capability and the regional knowledge competitiveness.The results of the research as follows:(1) The significance and value of the ranks of the regional R&D cooperation capability index; (2) The assess-ment of the contribution degree between R&D cooperation capability with knowledge innovation capability and regional knowledge competitiveness.The innovation of the thesis is the research of the current situation of R&D cooperation capability in the perspective of knowledge competitive-ness at first, measuring and evaluating the regional R&D cooperation capability index, assessing the contribution degree between R&D co-operation capability with the knowledge innovation capability and the regional knowledge competitiveness, and proposing that cooperation is another character of the regional knowledge competitiveness.
