ABSTRACT

The collaboration of government-university-industry is vital for knowledge creation. In this study, through a qualitative research, we compared the collaboration and knowledge conversion process of two regions in Japan and examined the influence of the leading role of collaboration in knowledge transfer in a regional context. We conducted semi-structured interviews with local governments, universities, and companies; adopted the SECI model to explain the knowledge conversion process; and used time series to compare the learning spiral. We found that the leading role of collaboration influences not only the types of regional collaboration but also the knowledge transfer and conversion process directly and indirectly. Our results provide insights for local governments to encourage knowledge creation.

摘要

政府-大学-行业的合作对于知识创造至关重要。在本研究中，通过定性研究，我们比较了日本两个地区的协作和知识转化过程，并检验了协作在地区背景下对知识转移的主导作用的影响。我们对地方政府、大学和公司进行了半结构化访谈；采用 SECI 模型解释知识转换过程；并使用时间序列来比较学习螺旋。我们发现，合作的主导作用不仅影响区域合作的类型，而且直接和间接地影响知识转移和转换过程。我们的结果为地方政府鼓励知识创造提供了见解。
