Innovation based on IndustryUniversityResearch collaboration (IURC) is a crucial link in an effective national innovation system and one significant support for the modernization of national governance system as well as national governance capability. Recently,Chinese IURC developed fast with certain results,but there still exists many issues leading to the insufficiency of the synergistic innovation and a light effect on enterprises' innovation. Given that,establishing the enterprise postdoctoral workstation,which can build an interactive collaboration network among enterprises,universities and research institutes,is one fundamental way to solve this problemThe paper found that,as the hybridnetwork of firm innovation,enterprise postdoctoral workstation significantly improves firm innovation abilitySpecifically,the positive effect of IURC on firms' innovation is stronger for private firms than stateowned enterpries,and also greater for firms with higher institutional ownership and who have less top managers with academic backgroundFurthermore,the paper found that policy support facilitates the role of IURC in influencing firms' innovation ability,especially for invention and design ability,which indicates that policy support is beneficial to facilitate IURC,optimize the structure of enterprise innovation and improve firms' true innovation ability.
