Synergy evaluation of industry-university-research institute synergetic innovation system based on knowledge creation

Abstract

Industry-university-research institute (IUR) synergetic innovation (SI) has become the leading-edge innovation mode to promote significant knowledge and technological innovations in China. This article establishes an evaluation index system and evaluation model for system synergy of IUR-SI based on knowledge creation combining the innovation theory with a multi-level extension evaluation method. The index system divides the system synergy of IUR-SI into four subsystems including knowledge synergy capability, relationship synergy capability, innovation synergy capability and synergy performance. we verify the evaluation model taking IUR-SI system of a region in China as an example. The purpose of the paper is to systematically, scientifically describe and analyze various constituent elements of IUR-SI system, as well as various level indicators reflecting efficiency and effectiveness of the system, in order to find the key points of system operation, and enhance the level of collaborative development of scientific and technological innovation systems in China.
