Abstract

The transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, often referred to as “transfer and transformation”, is crucial for turning science and technology into productive forces and economic development. It plays a significant role in enhancing the operational efficiency of the science and technology innovation system and developing new forms of productive forces. Currently, China’s policies to facilitate transfer and transformation are becoming richer and more comprehensive. Nevertheless, issues such as the difficulty in integrating industry, academia, research, and application, low efficiency and rate of technology transformation, and insufficient professionalism in intellectual property operation and transfer and transformation services still have not been adequately addressed. A primary reason is that the profit distribution model for transfer and transformation personnel does not effectively match their job attributes and contributions, leading to a lack of full engagement and motivation among these professionals. This study begins with an analysis of the issues in the existing profit distribution models, investigates the profit distribution of transfer and transformation at 15 institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), compares the differences and similarities between successful international cases and those of the CAS, examines the academic and practical reasons behind the unreasonable profit distribution models, and offers recommendations to provide new insights for enhancing the quality and efficiency of transfer and transformation efforts.
