University-industry technology transfer (UITT) plays an important role in the construction of the national pharmaceutical innovation system. The speculations of a faculty inventor may hinder the successful transfer of pharmaceutical research results. This paper divides the specific process of the transformation of pharmaceutical research results into two parts: (1) an evolutionary game between faculty inventors and universities; and (2) a Stackelberg game between faculty inventors and pharmaceutical companies. Further, we carry out numerical simulations to analyze the impact of transformation success rate, income distribution coefficient, and a faculty inventor's future working years on the transformation of pharmaceutical research results. The findings indicated that whether a combination of action strategies of faculty inventors and universities can evolve to the optimal equilibrium is determined by many factors, such as the technological transaction price of the pharmaceutical company and the reward or the income obtained by the faculty inventor. The transformation success rate and the income distribution coefficient are the key factors that affect the faculty inventor's will and the behavior of the pharmaceutical company. The conclusions of this paper contribute to the research on how we can improve the success rate of research results and avoid resource waste, and provide a decision-making reference for the management of pharmaceutical research results in universities.
产学研技术转移(UITT)在国家医药创新体系建设中发挥着重要作用。高校教师发明家的猜测可能会阻碍医药研究成果的成功转化。本文将医药研究成果转化的具体过程划分为两个部分:(1)高校教师与高校之间的演化博弈;(2)高校教师与医药企业之间的斯塔克伯格博弈。进一步通过数值模拟分析了转化成功率、收益分配系数以及高校教师未来工作年限对医药研究成果转化的影响。研究结果表明,高校教师与高校的组合行动策略是否能够演化到最优均衡,取决于医药公司的技术交易价格、高校教师的奖励或收入等诸多因素。转化成功率和收益分配系数是影响高校教师意愿和医药公司行为的关键因素。本文的结论有助于研究如何提高研究成果的成功率,避免资源浪费,并为高校医药研究成果管理提供决策参考。
