Abstract: There are two major types of transformation of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities: direct transformation and indirect transformation. Of them, the indirect transformation, characterized by govern- ment guiding and market diffusion, has become the chief approach. The achievement quality, the application value and the a- chievement caliber are the prerequisite for the smooth and successful transformation of the achievement. The low rate of trans- formation is owing to the following facts: incorrect understanding concerning the transformation job of scientific and technolog- ical achievements; the achievements being imperfect; inadequate knowledge of the industrial needs or enterprise needs; the lack of achievement transformation agencies. Measures for enhancing the transformation rate are as follows: the change of concepts concerning the scientific achievement transformation plus correct guidance; to step up efforts in cultivating enterprise scientific
talents; to do a better job by supplying more substantial scientific achievements; to shift government function, and guide mar- ket demands and step up service; to transform scientific achievements through Enterprise-University-Research Institute Coop- eration; to reinforce the role of agencies and promote transformation.
