Abstract:Now the collaborative innovation is a new way of innovation which has been advocated in China, and the trial of cultivating creative talents on such a platform is also worth exploring. Collaborative innovation is a complex procedure, in which agents maximize the utility of their innovation by activating creative elements, sharing creative resource and optimizing resource allocation. The essence of collaborative innovation can be described as a kind of cooperation between companies and research institutes whose profits and losses are bound up with each other. In such cooperation, both sides create the very environment together which is good for the cultivation of creative talents when they are pursuing the maximization of their own earnings. In addition, the effects of such cultivation can last long enough, showing that collaborative innovation is a better way to cultivate creative talents than traditional industry-university-research cooperation. In this paper, the mechanism of cultivation of creative talents in collaborative innovation is put forward based on CAS theory from 6 aspects, such as the mechanism of motivation and mechanism of goals. Then MAS is utilized to prove the correctness of the mechanism on Netlogo. At last, suggestions which aim to boost the cultivation of creative talents in collaborative innovation are made from aspects of profit collaboration, talents aggregation, credit allocation, knowledge sharing and construction of international platform of collaborative innovation.
