Identifying the implementation effect of technology transfer policy using system dynamics: a case study in Liaoning,...

Area of Science:

• Economics
• Policy Analysis
• Innovation Studies

Background:

• Technology transfer policy (TTP) is crucial for national economic development.
• The effectiveness of existing TTP implementation requires clarification.
• Academia and industry show increasing interest in TTP.

Purpose of the Study:

• To systematically analyze TTP tools and implementation stages.
• To build a conceptual framework of TTP's influence path.
• To quantitatively model and predict TTP implementation effects.

Main Methods:

• Systematic analysis of policy content and implementation stages.
• Development of a qualitative conceptual framework.
• Construction of a quantitative system dynamics (SD) model with feedback loops.
• Simulation and sensitivity analysis using Vensim PLE software.

Main Results:

• Different policy tools exhibit varied roles across research, transfer, and industrialization phases.
• The developed SD model accurately predicts TTP implementation effects.
• Simulation and sensitivity analysis offer practical insights for policy enhancement.

Conclusions:

• The study provides a systematic framework for understanding TTP implementation.
• Results offer practical guidance for government departments to optimize TTP.
• New research avenues are suggested for improving TTP effectiveness.
