I. INTRODUCTION
The process of converting from achievement
transformation in scientific and technical research
(ATSTR) is a knowledge intensive area, which is the
essence of knowledge flow. Thus accurately
distinguishing knowledge flow can improve science and
technology
achievements
conversion
rate,
industrialization rate, so is of important significance[1].
But science and technology do not create value. ATSTR
talented person is the key carrier of science and
technology. The job is advanced and complicated labor[2].
And they can make use of knowledge, technology,
information, experience to resolve practical work and
actual problem[3].
Domestic and foreign experts have done mass
research on talent management and knowledge
management. And theory, technology, practice literature
are too numerous to enumerate. But most of the research
on talent management and knowledge management is
isolated, the study of integration of both is rarely seen.
This article will put two researches together, from a
knowledge point of view on knowledge composition of
talented person.
own characteristics, and also requires different
knowledge. Analysis of the different stages of talents’
knowledge structure is conducive to the overall planning
and organization of knowledge. It is the precondition of
giving full play to the talents of knowledge, improve the
talent planning effectiveness.
ATSTR is a complicated system engineering, can be
divided into test stage, trial stage, the stage of mass
production and the market development stage[6], each step
requires coordination, cooperate with each other to
achieve a smooth transformation. The talent in whole
transformation process is knowledge talent, which has the
innovation ability, learning ability, have extensive
knowledge, can use ability, cleverness and mastery of the
knowledge innovation, and apply knowledge capital to
create enormous wealth.
ATSTR talented person refers to those in the
transformation of scientific research, technology
development, product design process and management of
the knowledge type talented person. The transformation
process is the essence of knowledge flow, as the carrier of
knowledge-- ATSTR talented person whose knowledge
structure has reflected higher value. Therefore the
research will make accurate definition of professionals’
knowledge structure from the process of the
transformation of scientific achievements.
According to ATSTR in the three stages, the talent is
divided into: R & D innovation talent, technology
innovation talent, market innovation talent. Compared
with the technological development, achievement of
science and technology, the production of commodity
need more support. Each stage of the talent's knowledge
characteristic is not identical; the structure is as shown in
figure 1.
II. KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE
Knowledge structure is the state of knowledge, and
the intrinsic relationship between the states[4].
Organization's knowledge structure is that people have the
knowledge from organization's point, which is a personal
extension of the knowledge structure. Organization
knowledge is the collective body of knowledge, which is
of a key factor in the knowledge conversion success
rate[5]. ATSTR talented person in different stages has its

III. BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE FOR
ATSTR TALENTED PERSON
Firstly, we need to consider is the talent of the
breadth of knowledge structure, mainly covering the
fields of study. In the process of transformation, talents
must master scientific and technological achievements of
theory, technology, process, meanwhile master design,
marketing strategy, consumer behavior and other basic
knowledge. This knowledge can be divided into the
rational knowledge, technological knowledge and market
knowledge[7].
• The rational knowledge is basic knowledge for
technology innovation talent. This kind of knowledge
guides the formation of scientific and technical
achievements, describes the principle and technical level
of scientific and technological achievements. The rational
knowledge is divided into highly abstract theoretical
knowledge and key technology derived by theory. The
former is the basis of research results; the latter is often
referred to the core technology, which is the key of
knowledge protection.
• The technological knowledge is those that contribute
to the product from the laboratory to the market. This kind
of knowledge can ensure ATSTR, which is to say in the
premise of marketing, to reduce costs, improve product
competitiveness. Mainly it includes process knowledge,
knowledge of equipment manufacturing technology, cost
knowledge.
• Market knowledge refers to those have the ability of
making products to meet consumers’ demands, including
product design, market preference, consumers pay ability,
industry competitors.
The knowledge of ATSTR talented person should cover
three aspects of knowledge in the conversion process in
breadth. In the transformation of three stages, each stage
is associated with various knowledge interaction,
transformation, integration, innovation, but the
transformation vectors-- research and innovation talent,
technology innovation talent, market innovation talent
have different characteristic in the breadth of knowledge
structure.
B. The Breadth of Knowledge Structure for Technology
Innovation Talent for R & D Innovation Talent
For technology innovation talent, in the knowledge
structure the core knowledge is technology knowledge.
Because of technological process and technological
complexity, technology innovation talent should have
specialized knowledge, proficient operating skills in the
batch stage of production. Their technology knowledge
level directly affects the quality of products; this kind of
talent is the main army transforming the achievements
into goods. Market knowledge can guide the technology
innovation talent to adjust product appearance, quantity;
its importance is located in the middle of pyramid. In
addition, technology innovation talents must understand
the rational knowledge, but does not require in-depth
understanding. The important degree of three kind of
knowledge for technology innovation talent is the inverted
pyramid structure, as shown in figure2.
C. The Breadth of Knowledge Structure for Technology
Innovation Talent for Market Innovation Talent
For market innovation talent, in the knowledge
structure the core knowledge is market knowledge.
Understanding consumer preference, accurate positioning
of target market, can achieve scientific and technological
achievements
of
rapid
commercialization,
industrialization. In addition to the market promotion,
market innovation personnel need to have simple process
of product structure, rational knowledge in order to
promoting. The important degree of three kind of
knowledge for market innovation talent is the inverted
pyramid structure, as shown in figure2.
A. The Breadth of Knowledge Structure for R & D
Innovation Talent
For R & D innovation talent, in the knowledge
structure the core knowledge is profound theoretical
knowledge, namely the rational knowledge. Through
improving their own knowledge, R & D innovation talent
can guarantee the advanced nature of technology,
reliability, maturity. In addition to change from laboratory
results to the prototype product, the technological
knowledge is the guarantee of basis on production. To
master this kind of knowledge can not only affect the
product cost structure, but also can enhance the product
manufacturability, accelerate new product development
speed to market. If we want to transform science and
technology to goods that will meet the needs of people,
we must forecast the demands for goods[8]. So the market
knowledge is the premise of development. The important
degree of three kind of knowledge for R & D innovation
talent is the inverted pyramid structure, as shown in
figure2.
Fig.2. The breadth of knowledge structure for ATSTR talented person
in different stages
Completing the goal for transformation of scientific
and technological achievements, is the minimum
requirements for ATSTR talented person in the breadth of
knowledge structure, is a static view of knowledge. In the
dynamic view it is also due to the generation and gain of
new knowledge. The intense market competition and the
rapid development of science and technology
requirements of personnel continually expanding the
breadth of knowledge, and improve the innovation ability
of enterprise. Breadth of knowledge expansion must
unfold around key knowledge domain. On the innovation
of talent management, we will have a different discipline
backgrounds professional together, forming a diverse
knowledge communities around the key knowledge
domain.
IV. DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE FOR
ATSTR TALENTED PERSON
Depth of knowledge structure for ATSTR talented
person refers to the different people’s knowledge in the
depth dimension. For each kind of knowledge, different
science and technology requires different depth based on
diverse requirements [9] [10]. Similarly, in different stages
in ATSTR, for all kinds of personnel knowledge depth
requirements are different. The breadth of knowledge
structure for successful transformation provides a" face"
on the deployment, and the depth of knowledge structure
is transforming the" face" into the" body", leading to the
formation of people's knowledge space. The structure
provides a knowledge platform for personnel to make
effective allocation and development. ATSTR talented
person in the depth of knowledge structure is divided into
three types:
• Executive for problems. This kind of talent can
master knowledge and apply them to practice. But their
usage of knowledge performs for the standardization,
stylized process. The application of knowledge capacity is
limited to the level of “how to do”, lack of flexibility and
initiative.
• Solver for problems. This is in higher knowledge
level than the former. These people not only can use
knowledge to complete the work, but also are able to
apply knowledge to analyze and solve new problems, can
skilled found the crux of the problem and remedy them.
• Talent for system reconstructing. This kind of talent
is the most precious resources, they can not only analyze
and solve problems, but also as the breakthrough point,
through the problems to see the essence, found in-depth
problems. And they can apply knowledge to design and
construct the whole system, thus generating new
knowledge. According to analysis of scarcity, the three
types of talent appear pyramid structure distribution
taking concerns of number, as shown in figure 3.
Fig.3. The breadth of knowledge structure for ATSTR talented person
in different stages
According to three different stages and the demand
for knowledge, the paper thinks that R & D innovation
talent, technology innovation talent, market innovation
talent have different requirements in the depth of
knowledge structure.
A. The Depth of Knowledge Structure for R & D
Innovation Talent
Laboratory, pilot stage is the initial stage of ATSTR,
the depth of knowledge structure for R & D innovation
talent determines its ultimate the effectiveness of
marketization,
industrialization
and
long-term
implementation. So the depth of knowledge demand is
higher, the structure should be inverted pyramid structure.
The kind of talents for system reconstructing in quantity
should be mostly, can do research and development from
the initial technical innovation. While executive for
problems can only use simple knowledge, should occupy
less proportion in R & D innovation talent. The depth of
knowledge structure is shown in figure 4.
B. The Depth of Knowledge Structure for Technology
Innovation Talent
Technology innovation talent plays a central role in
the transformation process, performing the sample into
the batch production of products work. This job requires
not only simple usage of knowledge, experience, but also
analysis of processing problems in production. So the
depth of knowledge structure for technology innovation
talent is spindle structure, namely "both ends is small,
among big" structure, which is shown in figure 4.
C. The Depth of Knowledge Structure for Market
Innovation Talent
Market innovation talent achieves the transformation
of the final link, will meet the need of the people in the
process of commodity market. The depth of knowledge is
not high, just master certain product, market, consumer
knowledge, and apply to practical promotion process. The
depth of knowledge structure of talents should be inverted
Pyramid structure, shown in figure 4.
Fig.4. The depth of knowledge structure for ATSTR talented person in
different stages
For different stages in ATSTR will require different
knowledge, analysis of the knowledge structure is the
precondition of making full use of knowledge, improving
enterprise talent planning validity and pertinence.
