Evaluation of the Production-Education Integration Performance of the High-Tech Industry: An Empirical Comparison between Three Urban Agglomerations in China

Abstract

Deepening production-education integration (PEI) is a major strategy of China to reinforce education reform and promote industry transformation. Different from the traditional research perspective of colleges on the supple side, this paper chooses to evaluate the PEI performance of the high-tech industry from the angle of industry on the demand side. Firstly, the action mechanisms of the education system and industry system in PEI were expounded, and the design framework of the evaluation index system (EIS) was derived from the interactions between two elements (technologies and talents) and two market relationships (supply and demand), forming a two-dimensional four-quadrant EIS. On this basis, the correlation-entropy composite matter-element (CECME) model and coupling coordination degree (CCD) model were introduced to empirically compare the PEI performance of the high-tech industry between Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao (GHKM) Greater Bay Area, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) Urban Agglomeration, and Yangtze River Delta (YRD) Urban Agglomeration. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) the GHKM Greater Bay Area is far better in education and industry development than YRD Urban Agglomeration and BTH Urban Agglomeration; (2) the PEI performance of the high-tech industry in GHKM Greater Bay Area was evaluated as high level with industry in lead, that in YRD Urban Agglomeration as moderate level with education in lead, and that in BTH Urban Agglomeration high-tech industry PEI as moderate level with industry in lag. Finally, several countermeasures were proposed for the urban agglomerations to further enhance the PEI performance of the high-tech industry: GHKM Greater Bay Area should improve the weak link of education development; YRD Urban Agglomeration should give full play to its advantages in higher education; BTH Urban Agglomeration should focus on high-quality industry development. From the practical level, this paper objectively evaluates the actual performance of PEI and provides a reference for scientific policymaking of PEI development.

Construction of the Integration Model of Production and Education in Colleges and Universities Based on Triple Helix Model

“…However, from the four latitudes of "internal evolution of spirals, mutual influence among spirals, coverage of new trilateral network, organization generated from the interaction of three spirals, and regression effect of triple spiral network", which constitute the triple spiral model theory, the three are not going their own way, nor are they simply pairwise relations, but one of them. In the regional innovation system, the internal functions of the three are constantly evolving, and they are intertwined and interact with each other, forming a continuous and close strategic partnership, jointly promoting the production, transformation, application and upgrading of knowledge, jointly realizing the effective connection between professional chain and industrial chain, and jointly promoting the coordinated development of regional education, economy and society [10][11].…”

The cultivation path of vocational talents in rural revitalization industry based on multidimensional data analysis method in the context of industry-education integration

“…As a largely agricultural country, China has long been lacking rural talent as an important bottleneck factor affecting and restricting agricultural and rural development, and the lack of talent is the main aspect of the contradiction from the perspective of the two-point theory and focus theory. We should strengthen rural construction and accelerate the cultivation of rural talents to serve rural revitalization [7][8]. The revitalization of rural talents plays a key role in the process of rural revitalization, and the implementation of rural revitalization requires a "three rural" workforce that understands agriculture and loves rural areas and farmers [9][10].…”

Research on the Dynamic Synergy Mechanism of Industry-Education Integration and Science-Education Integration in the Construction of a Strong Educational Country

“…Zhang, Q et al evaluated the integration of industry and education in three economic development zones through the correlation entropy complex meta (CECME) model and the coupling degree of coordination (CCD) model, and they found that the degree of integration of industry and education is positively correlated with the high-quality development of the regional economy. Therefore, the integration of industry and education can be a major strategy to strengthen education reform and promote industrial transformation in China [11].…”
