The Reform Trends and Model Selection of University Scientific Research Organizations in the Post-College Era

Abstract

In the post-college era, university research organizations are facing unprecedented changes in their structure and operational models. In terms of organizational form, these institutions are transitioning from single-discipline-based models to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary collaboration models. This shift reflects the growing need to address complex, real-world problems that require expertise from multiple fields. From a management perspective, interdisciplinary research organizations face unique challenges. They must coordinate researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, navigate potential conflicts between traditional departments and interdisciplinary units, and address differences in goals and organizational culture among members. These complexities make management more intricate and demanding. Simultaneously, the focus of university research organizations has become increasingly interest-driven, with research objectives, content, and participants reflecting specific areas of interest or societal demand. To adapt to these evolving trends, university research organizations must adopt flexible models tailored to their unique development needs. This approach will ensure the efficient execution of research activities and facilitate the effective transformation of research outcomes into practical applications.
