Research on the dilemmas and resolution strategies of collaborative governance in modern industrial colleges based on the SFIC model

As an innovative organizational form for deepening industry-education integration, modern industrial colleges have become a pivotal force in cultivating high-quality talent tailored to industrial demands and driving regional economic development. Through the SFIC model, this study systematically analyzes issues in the collaborative governance of modern industrial colleges. The analysis reveals structural deficiencies in the initial conditions of collaboration, insufficient motivation in catalytic leadership, institutional designs marked by vague rules and ineffective incentives, and a collaborative process characterized by operational inefficiency and disconnection. To address these challenges, this research proposes a multifaceted strategy: Strengthening the initial conditions requires innovating top-level design, optimizing supply-demand alignment, and restructuring collaboration models. First, strengthening initial conditions requires innovation in top-level design, better supply-demand alignment, and restructured collaboration models. Second, to enhance catalytic leadership, the roles of diverse stakeholders must be clarified to leverage their complementary functions and create synergy. Third, institutional design needs refinement through clear boundaries of authority and responsibility, a focus on value co-creation, and a transparent governance system. Finally, the collaborative process should be reinforced by promoting trust-based talent development, establishing robust mechanisms for technology innovation and transfer, and implementing a pluralistic co-governance model based on equitable dialogue.
