RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT OF UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION ON COLLEGE STUDENTS' ENTREPRENEURIAL ABILITY WIYH RESOURCE BRICOLAGE AS A MEDIATOR
Abstract
The important role of cross-organizational reorganization of resources in the process of university-enterprise collaborative innovation in enhancing the entrepreneurial ability of university students is generally recognized, but how to promote resource collocation and deep synergy between universities and enterprises, which in turn can affect the entrepreneurial ability of university students, is an urgent issue. In this study, 688 students from applied colleges and universities across China were used as research subjects to study the impact of university-enterprise collaborative innovation process on students' entrepreneurial ability and its mechanism of action through scale measurement and semi-structured interviews. The results show that school-enterprise collaborative behaviour has a significant impact on the entrepreneurial ability of university students; resource pooling plays a partially mediating role between university-enterprise collaborative behaviour and university students' entrepreneurial ability; innovation policy and campus innovation atmosphere play a significant moderating role between university-enterprise collaborative behaviour and university students' entrepreneurial ability. This study expands the research horizon of resource pooling and collaborative innovation, and provides a new perspective for the development of collaborative innovation theory.
