Empirical Research on the Priority Sequence of Entrepreneurial Factors of Agricultural Scientific Commissioners

Based on the survey of 254 agricultural scientific commissioners in Sichuan, China, this paper selects eight factors affecting agricultural scientific commissioners' entrepreneurs. And agricultural scientific commissioners include two types, which are those who have been entrepreneurial and those who are ready to act as entrepreneurs. The work aims to determine if there exists significant demand differences for factors affecting the two types of commissioners with the method of Wilcoxon rank sum test, and then to rank the factors-priority sequence. The result shows that, at present, the most urgently demanded elements of agricultural scientific commissioner’s entrepreneurs are the three platforms for information service, for financial service, and for research-outcomes shown and exchanged, while the demand for the policies is relatively weak.

implement technology items. With the system from the "Nanping Experience" to "Ningxia model", the commissioners have achieved a great deal, and their entrepreneurial enthusiasm is also very high. Commissioners' entrepreneur is such an activity in which the commissioners root the new production factors, such as the technology, the capital, management, information and etc. in rural areas. As a breakthrough, this activity has promoted economic and social development for the new era of China's rural areas, especially the western rural areas of less developed market economy (Yue Zhen, Lai Maosheng, 2007, pp.114-117).
From the literature, it can be found that the researches of commissioners have been focused on the following aspects: one is about the basic issues of commissioners-system, such as the characteristics and functions of commissioners-system (Ding Zili, Jiao Chunhai etc., 2009, pp.305-306), the innovative models, the mechanisms and effects (Chai JianFeng, 2007, pp.128-132;Tan Xuewen, 2007, pp.60-68), the construction of performance evaluation index (Zhu Min, Li ShouShan etc., 2009, pp.19-23) and etc.; the other is about the operations of the commissioners-system. Here, the research about commissioners ' entrepreneur is mainly focused on the status and problems of commissioners 'entrepreneur, entrepreneurship mechanism and how to promote the entrepreneurial enthusiasm. Zhang Fang, Zhang Shiliang (2007, pp.33-35) considered that commissioners' entrepreneur stemmed from the demands of the masses, the exploration of the grassroots and the innovation of the practice. It is an inevitable byproduct of the combination of technology and economy and the combination of technological personnel and farmers during the in-depth reform of modern agriculture in China. Commissioners' entrepreneur is a systemic engineering and an important starting point to balance the urban and rural development (Zhang Laiwu, 2008, pp.14-18;Cheng Ziliang, 2009, pp.32-33). Wu Jinming, Zhang Sha etc. (2008, pp.33-35) made a research on the mechanism of commissioners' entrepreneur, and put forward the model options about technical service and the entrepreneurial institutional arrangements based on the special legal regime. Zhang Yu (2009, pp.49-51) made a discussion on the commissioners' entrepreneurial activity in the investment and financing mechanism and proposed that the rural credit cooperatives should open up a range of new varieties of financial services for the agricultural development, and this could support commissioners' entrepreneurial activity more effectively. Wang Zhengyi (2009, pp. 66-67) deemed that commissioners' entrepreneur should be based on Chinese agricultural situation, and need departmental interaction and ideological emancipation. Zeng Yesong (2009, pp.38-41) thought that in order to guide the commissioners to entrepreneur in the grassroots, the mechanism's advantageous features, such as the government promotion, market-driven, interest-driven, personal values motivate, must be institutionalized, an easily policy environment, work environment, service environment and public-opinion environment must be created, the urban-rural division, regional boundaries, industry boundaries, departmental boundaries should be broken, service areas for commissioners should be expanded, and commissioners-service models and management-system should be consummated.
It can be seen from the above literature that current researches about commissioners' entrepreneur mainly focus on the theoretical stage or on the summary of commissioners' entrepreneurial activity. However the researches of factors affecting commissioners' entrepreneur in the empirical view are few. The commissioners' entrepreneurial activity is one of the effective means to speed up the development of the rural economy; it must of great significance of the theoretical and practical way to make a study on the factors affecting commissioners' entrepreneur.

Selection of the factors affecting commissioners' entrepreneur
At present, there are many areas to be improved urgently for entrepreneurial environment in China, especially policy and cultural environments. (Yang Zhaoli, 2007,pp.9-10).The ideal entrepreneurial environment should be good platforms (Ye Yiguang, Liu Zhizhong, 2004, pp.228-232), and it also needs government supported policies. Entrepreneurial platforms can provide necessary infrastructure and a range of support services, which are demanded for commissioners ' entrepreneur, such as the places for research, facilities for communication, and etc. And the platforms can assist the commissioners in resolving sources of funding, give support in technology, marketing, consulting, training, management, policy, legal and etc., create necessary conditions for enterprises-nurture and growth, reduce entrepreneurial risk and costs, and make the research-outcomes into commodities rapidly, so as to make the enterprises founded by the commissioners having a foothold in the market-competition (Han Xinchuan, Wang Boliang, 2006, pp.123-125).
Commissioners' entrepreneurial activity is generated during the running of the commissioners-system, with characteristics different from others. Based on the survey of 254 commissioners in Sichuan Province, it can be found that more than half of commissioners are from the institution position and do it for part-time job. While engaged in commissioners' work, they also have to complete the original work. It shows that commissioners run a greater workload than other entrepreneurs. Therefore, commissioners' entrepreneurial activity needs a wide range of supports. So it is very necessary to gain the support from the entrepreneurial platforms and the government-related policies.
In this paper, five entrepreneurial platforms are selected: the information service platform, technology incubated platform, financial service platform, technology patents and property transactions platform, research-outcomes shown and exchanged platform; three policy factors are selected: the land preferential policy, tax relief policy and commissioners-operating mechanism. Among these factors, the information service platform can provide the information from the market, talents, and management for commissioners; the technology incubated platform can improve the successful rate of technical research; the financial service platform will broaden the capital channels for commissioners' entrepreneur; the technology patents and property transactions platform can improve commissioners-enthusiasm engaged in technical research; the research-outcomes shown and exchanged platform can contribute researches mercerization. Three policy factors can provide policy-support for commissioners' entrepreneur.
This article, based on the survey of 254 commissioners in Sichuan province, makes an analysis of the eight factors which affect commissioners' entrepreneur. Suppose that the commissioners-demand for each factor is different, and the government and the community should pay great attention on the factors that commissioners need most urgently.

Data sources
The paper' data is from the survey of 254 commissioners in Sichuan province, and the study is for those commissioners who have been entrepreneurial and those who are ready to act as entrepreneurs. The areas surveyed are Chengdu City, Luzhou City, Suining City and Meishan City, where commissioners-work is more representative than in other cities. There are 280 questionnaires issued, of 254 copies valid, and the effective rate is 90.7%. There are 44 copies for those who have been entrepreneurial, 123 copies for those who are ready to act as entrepreneur and 87copies for those who are unwilling to act as entrepreneur.

The descriptive analysis of the sample's entrepreneurial situation
There are 61.4% of those commissioners, who have been entrepreneurial, choosing the part-time entrepreneurship; for the entrepreneurial types, the selection for individual entrepreneur and partners (in entrepreneurial teams) is on each 50%; for the entrepreneurial organization forms, 63.6% of commissioners take the form of specialized cooperative economic organizations. The commissioners, who are ready to act as entrepreneur, have almost the same choice as the commissioners who have already been entrepreneurial.

The introduction of rank sum test method
The rank sum test is an important type of non-parameter statistical methods, which can be used to test whether the one-way order of any two independent samples are from the same general or the overall distribution of two independent samples are the same or not. While the Wilcoxon rank sum test is one kind of non-parameter rank test methods. As for the one-way 2 -C contingency table, Wilcoxon rank sum test can be used to test the hypothesis: whether the location of two independent samples is the same in distribution or not. In this article, Wilcoxon rank sum test is to be used to test the hypothesis: for the commissioners of two entrepreneurial statuses -those who have been entrepreneurial and those who are ready to act as entrepreneur, there is no significant difference in demand for certain factor.

Analysis about the demand difference for the factors
In this paper, the demands for the factors are classified into five levels: the most needed, more needed, general needed, not really needed and not needed. Considering that there may exist different demands for the factors affecting the commissioners' entrepreneur, so firstly the Wilcoxon rank sum test is used to test it. The results can be obtained by running the SPSS17.0 software. And the results of Mann-Whitney test and the statistic test are in Table 1, Table 2.
From Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that the approximate probability of each factor is greater than 0.05, which is the significant lever. And it indicates that there is no significant demand difference between the factors. Take the information service platform for example. Mann-Whitney U value is 2636.000, Wilcoxon W value is 3626.000, and the approximate probability value (both sides) is 0.752 >0.05. So the original assumption is proved, that is to say, there is no significant demand difference for the information service platform.
