This book closely examines how universities and higher educational institutions have come to occupy a very significant position in the Chinese national Iinnovation system (NIS) in the last two decades. It looks at the growth, structure and current status of higher education in China and discusses how these world-class institutions are intimately intertwined with the rise of China in the global knowledge economy. It studies themes such as the impact of Chinese universities on industry, business enterprises and national development, relevance of higher education to policies related to industry development, reform measures to improve research intensity and quality of teaching, and internationalization and globalization of higher education. Based on sound empirical research, it also explores concepts like academic entrepreneurship, start-ups and entrepreneurial ecosystems. A key text on the Chinese education sector, the book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of higher education, Chinese studies, science, technology and innovation studies, business economics and management, academic entrepreneurship and public policy.

This book publishes selected papers of the 2nd Sino-Finland Higher Education Forum – Transformation of Higher Education in Innovation Systems in China and Finland, held in Tampere, Finland in 2011. The Forum was jointly organised by the University of Tampere, University of Helsinki, Peking University and Beijing University of Technology. The aim was to bring the higher education researchers, policy makers, administrators and other experts together to exchange experiences and views and to explore current challenges of the role of higher education in innovation systems with a particular focus on China and Finland. Ideally, new ideas and best practices could be found by comparing the systems and the policies. The papers selected from the forum are categorised into six sections, namely 1) Theoretical insights and emerging practices, 2) Finnish experiences, 3) Chinese higher education systems, 4) Roles of universities in innovation systems in China, 5) Transformations in Chinese higher education, 6) Comparative perspectives and cooperation between the two countries. The book is intended for researchers, administrators, policy makers as well as students of higher education policy and administration.

Technology Transfer from University to Industry provides a cogent analysis of university technology transfer in the Chinese National Innovation System (NIS). The book outlines the NIS approach, analyses the building-up of the Chinese NIS and discusses the role orientation of university in the NIS. It also discusses three institutional innovations - the Chinese version "e;Bayh-Dole Act"e;, university technology transfer offices and university incubators - in order to show how universities transfer technology to industry in the Chinese NIS. Additionally, it makes a cross-nation comparison of university incubators in China and in France. The book underlines the importance of university in improving weak absorptive and innovative capabilities of domestic firms and provides both practical and theoretical insights to policy makers and practitioners. The book will be a very valuable reference to university students and lecturers as well as to governments and firms who are interested in university technology transfer and the Chinese NIS.

Geographic scale has been central to the debate on studies on technological innovation. Through a brief examination of China's science and technology history since the 1950s, this study suggests that the role of the state is crucial for understanding the structuring, restructuring and performance of China's innovative system. During the pre-reform era, China's national innovation system was a centrally commanded and segregated system with a clear orientation towards strategic weaponry development, which led to its imbalanced performance in military and civilian technology development. Since the early 1980s, China's national innovation system has experienced shifts towards civilian-orientation, increasing roles of industries, and closer interactions among industries, universities, and government. The incremental approach of reforming China's national innovation system is strongly shaped by its gradualist strategy in its political and economic reforms. During the process, the Chinese government has been very active in guiding the changes. As such, studies at the national scale are indispensable for understanding the dynamics of innovation, in addition to studies at the global and local/regional scales.

The global economy is characterized by increasing locational competition to attract the resources necessary to develop leading-edge technologies as drivers of regional and national growth. One means of facilitating such growth and improving national competitiveness is to improve the operation of the national innovation system. This involves national technology development and innovation programs designed to support research on new technologies, enhance the commercial return on national research, and facilitate the production of globally competitive products. Understanding the policies that other nations are pursuing to become more innovative and to what effect is essential to understanding how the nature and terms of economic competition are shifting. Building the 21st Century U.S.-China Cooperation on Science, Technology, and Innovation studies selected foreign innovation programs and comparing them with major U.S. programs. This analysis of Comparative Innovation Policy includes a review of the goals, concept, structure, operation, funding levels, and evaluation of foreign programs designed to advance the innovation capacity of national economies and enhance their international competitiveness. This analysis focuses on key areas of future growth, such as renewable energy, among others, to generate case-specific recommendations where appropriate.
