Abstract:The universities are the main source of national and regional scientific and technical innovation. Furthermore, universities' scientific and technological innovation ability determines a country or regional scientific and technological developing level. How to evaluate the innovation and performance of the universities is still unsolved currently. In this paper, the indexes for evaluating the innovation capacity and performance are proposed, and a systematic analytical method is introduced. In order to test the validity, a university in Henan province of China is selected as an example to evaluate its innovation capacity. The search results indicate that the index and method mentioned in this paper is suit to the scientific research evaluation. Key words: Scientific and technological innovation ability; Evaluation; Analytic nierarchy process
IntroductionThe university is the important component of the system of scientific and technical innovation. It is one of the important subjects of the knowledge innovation, and the important source of technological innovation, and having influential impact on development of the regional economy. High-level talents and scientific and technological resources have gathered in the campus, a large number of experts from many aspects, which can contribute for the scientific and technological innovations for regions. In Henan province, however, the scientific and technological innovation ability of the university is still weak on the whole. Thus in order to promote the development of university's scientific and technological innovations of our province better and improve the scientific and technological innovation ability of the university of our province, it is very necessary to develop the activity of rational appraisal.This paper is arranged as following: the second section is literature review on the early study on the scientific and technological innovation (STI); then the study method AHP (analytic hierarchy process) is briefly introduced; section 3 is the index design for the evaluation of the STI of the university. Section 4 is an empirical study on the index selected in the paper; finally, the conclusion is reached in the end of section.
