Part 17: Strategies II ; International audience ; Public interventions of government-owned research and development organisations present a number of challenges exacerbated by continuous changes of industries' expectations in a turbulent economic climate. There is a need for overcoming the barriers of practicing collaborative projects in government-owned research and development organisations. Conducting a combined Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process approach in a case study reveals that the 'commercial value' orientation plan yields the highest impact score on innovation factors. Societal value, such as supporting collaborative projects, is ranked in the second place. This leads to a suggestion to increase the organisational responsibility in promoting public-private collaborative projects. Thus, the paper provides an illustrative generic model for deploying the combined Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process approach in other government-owned research and development organisations to further improve public interventions for sustainable innovation development.

We examined how group identification and intergroup anxiety jointly mediate the relationship between negative metastereotype and intergroup relations among rural-to-urban migrant children in China. Migrant children, who have both rural and urban identities, are sensitive to their uncertain
status, which means that a negative metastereotype is easily activated. We recruited 105 migrant children who were randomly assigned to two groups. They received either a negative metastereotype or control manipulation. Intergroup anxiety, group identification, and intergroup relations were
then assessed. Results showed that intergroup anxiety and urban identification could independently mediate the effects of a negative metastereotype on intergroup relations. Intergroup anxiety indirectly influenced intergroup relations through urban identification. These findings suggest that
negative emotion and urban identification should be considered when studying the negative metastereotype of migrant children in China and should be included when planning interventions to improve intergroup relations of these children.
