Abstract:The high-quality development of the marine economy urgently requires commercializing marine scientific and technological achievements into tangible productivity forces. However, the deep-seated contradictions affecting the this commercialization remain unresolved. This paper focuses on the factors influencing the effectiveness of marine achievements transformation. 22 participants, involved throughout the entire cycle of marine achievements commercialization, are selected for semi-structured interviews to identify the underlying causes of these issues. Using the three-level coding method based on grounded theory, 66 concepts are derived and grouped into 21 categories, which are then aligned with stakeholders to establish 11 core categories. Furthermore, it examines the structural relationships and operational modes among the stakeholders and elements involved in marine achievements commercialization, ultimately forming an "integration-network" paradigm for these elements. The findings indicate that industrialization is the primary goal and foundational assumption for building the marine achievements commercialization mechanism, while consistent interaction acts as a self-organizing process in its development. To achieve the goal of industrializing marine scientific and technological achievements, it is necessary to satisfy the triggering conditions of technological advancements, market demand, and willingness to commercialize within a macrostructure shaped by the environment and policies. The comprehensive establishment of the commercialization mechanism relies on the resource coordination of multiple stakeholders, including the engineering implementation by research teams, the industrial organization by intermediary service institutions, the operations of industrialization teams, and the government’s support and supervision throughout the industrialization process. Based on this, to make a more effective marine achievements commercialization, it suggests improving the engineering application capabilities of researchers, refining the education and training systems for technical application talent, and addressing the information asymmetry between supply and demand for technological outcomes.
