“…It cannot be denied that it is of critical difficulty to conduct in--depth interviews with company owners in China. This is evidenced in the recent research on science parks in China, which adopted a case study methodology while was based purely on secondary data analysis (Huang et al, 2013;Tan, 2006;Zou and Zhao, 2014;Zhou, 2009). …”

“…(Hu et al, 2010). The primary mission of the National Torch Program is to promote the diffusion of new technologies to production and the market (Huang et al, 2013). Representing the top of the hierarchical structure of science parks in China, the Torch Program grew quickly in the 1990s, followed by the development of university towns in the early 2000s (Chen, 2009;Wei, 2015).…”

The emergence of science parks is a relatively new phenomenon in China. Apart from the widely debated topics of university--industry linkages, collaboration among firms and spontaneous/policy--driven science parks, the development of science parks in China also has several distinguishing characteristics, such as their ambiguous linkage with urban expansion and their hierarchical structuring pattern. This paper attempts to discuss the motivation and efficiency of spatial proximity in science park development and to explore the role of universities in science parks, the function of science parks as a government project and a case study of location choice by on--site firms. The qualitative analysis, based on in--depth interviews with tenant firm managers and district--level government officers in Jiangning, Nanjing, is used as a basis for discussion.

“…Such a phenomenon can also be witnessed in China. The importance of university-industry technology transfer has been accentuated in China's recent strategy for independent innovation (Huang et al 2013), and university-industry technology transfer has become an important source of industry innovation Orcutt and Shen 2010;Tang 2009;Cai and Liu 2015;Wu and Zhou 2012). In the past 15 years, Chinese universities have greatly improved their ability to create and diffuse commercially useful technology (Orcutt and Shen 2010;.…”

This paper argues that failure to deeply understand various existing organizations of university-industry technology transfer in China impedes the progress of both practice and research on technology transfer between university and industry in that country. In response, it attempts to categorize different types of university technology transfer organizations in China in over a 30-year time span and analyze the relations between these organizations. In so doing, Tsinghua University is taken as an example for analysis, because technology transfer at Tsinghua University can be seen as a microcosm of university-industry technology transfer in China with pioneer practices and successful experience to be followed by other universities in China. The analysis is guided by an analytical framework, constructed by integrating the insights from relevant literature. The framework distinguishes between different forms of university technology transfer organizations by focusing on six dimensions of the organizational characteristics. After identifying eight types of university technology transfer organizations in Tsinghua University with detailed descriptions of their respective organizational characteristics, the paper further groups them into a four-category typology. Besides its contribution in constructing a framework to understand university technology transfer organizations in the Chinese context, the paper also solicits suggestions for Chinese and international stakeholders who may potentially cooperate with Chinese research universities in research, development, and innovation.

“…China's National Innovation Demonstration Zone (NIIDZ) are organizations built on the existing new-and high-tech industrial development areas to improve China's capability of independent innovation (Huang et al, 2013;Li, 2016). As platforms of national technological development and enterprises' independent innovation activities (Heilmann et al, 2013), these NIIDZs not only have the privilege of being first-movers of national policies (Audretsch et al, 2015), but also are shouldered with the mission of innovating and exploring systems (Bai et al, 2014), policies and management models in the field of China's technological development (Dong et al, 2014).…”

Policy transfer is a process in which different organizations learn from each other to achieve policy innovation. It is also considered as an important channel of policy issuance. In China, national independent innovation demonstration zones serve as carriers of not only technological development, but also technological policies issued by China. Along with development of these national independent innovation demonstration zones, policy exchange and cooperation has become increasingly frequent among them. This paper attempts to find out different paths for policy transfer through a textual analysis of policies among China's national independent innovation demonstration zones. First, quantitative connotation and characteristics of policy transfer are analyzed. Then, a policy transfer quantitative evaluation index system is built based on three dimensions of policy transfer, namely intensity, breadth and speed. Following that, the quantitative evaluation index system is used to analyze policy transfer among national independent innovation demonstration zones. The paper tries to explore favorable policy categories for transfer, and learn the policy development status in these national independent innovation demonstration zones as well as the policy transfer trend from different perspectives. To sum up, this research can provide not only data support for policy innovation of China's independent innovational demonstration zones and accelerate their in-depth cooperation in terms of policy transfer, but also a new methodological research paradigm for quantitative analysis of policy transfer among parallel organizations.
