| Publisher Description: The Triple Helix examines this innovation model where university, industry, and government work together and interact closely while each maintains its independent identity. The triple helix message is that universities, firms and governments assume some of the capabilities of the other, even as each institution maintains its primary role and distinct identity. The Triple Helix develops the method and theory of university-industry-government relations as the means to create more effective innovation systems. How do we enhance the significance of universities and other knowledge producing institutions with the capacity to recombine old ideas, synthesize and conceive new ones? What ways can be invented to encourage faculty and students to assist the formation of firms from academic research in order to improve regional economic and social development? How can governments, at all levels, encourage citizens to take an active role in promoting innovation? How can firms and industries become more open to make use of innovations created elsewhere as well as to become more innovative themselves? What is the key element to reach these goals? This book seeks to answer these questions for students, researchers, and policy-makers. |
