高校科研管理体系对比研究—以卡迪夫大学和西北工业大学为例

A Comparative Study on Scientific Research Management System in universities—Take Cardiff University and Northwestern Polytechnic University for Examples

摘要:

通过分析卡迪夫大学与西北工业大学科研管理体系的组织使命和模式,表明卡迪夫大学科研管理体系是质量导向的矩阵式跨学科模式,西北工业大学科研管理体系是质量数量兼顾的单向性科层制模式。在精益管理理论视角下探讨英国REF评价体系和卡迪夫大学RIS团队对我国高校科研管理体系的启示,以期国内高校能够转变观念、明确目标、注重质量、细化流程、积极规划,在科研管理机构、目标、方式和评价体系等方面进行改革,从而更好地实现科学研究职能,推动高校科研跨越式发展。

Abstract:

From the perspective of lean management theory, this paper analyzed the organization, purpose, and pattern of scientific research management system of the UK’s Cardiff University and China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU). It is indicated that the scientific research management system of Cardiff University is a quality-oriented interdisciplinary matrix model. Its RIS is based on the UK’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment system, characterized with flat structure and quality orientation. It is project-centered and service-focused. NPU’s scientific research management system is a quality-quantity-oriented unidirectional bureaucratic model, function-centered and administration-focused. It attaches more importance to project application and administration than project acceptance and service. The contrastive analysis generated the implication that scientific research management of Chinese universities has room for improvements in accuracy, detail, depth, and formality. Given new perspectives, clearer goals, more attention to quality, detailed processes, and active planning, they expect profound transformation in their scientific research management organization, its objectives, patterns, and assessment systems, which helps realize their scientific research function and boosts China’s construction of world-class universities.
