Development of high-tech industries is an important task for the Russian economy, the solution of which requires the joint efforts of educational, research and production organizations with the governmental support. Nowadays significant results have been achieved in the field of cooperation between universities and business. Their systematization and analysis will make it possible to determine both the most effective areas of interaction and those requiring further development. The purpose of the research presented in the article is to identify typical models of cooperation between universities and business based on analyzing the results of their scientific and educational interaction. To realize it, clustering of Russian universities was carried out. The cluster analysis identified 6 groups of universitates, each of which has specific features. Universities in the first two clusters are focused on commercializing income from R&D. Universities of cluster 1 are distinguished by a high share of extra-budgetary income from R&D, and from cluster 2 are distinguished by high extra-budgetary income from R&D based on the number of academic staff members. Universities from cluster 3 have high results of joint publication activities with business companies. In universities from clusters 4 and 5 educational cooperation with business is more developed. Universities from cluster 4 have an extensive network of partnerships with enterprises to organize internships for students. Universities from cluster 5 actively cooperate with business to train specialists on a contractual basis. Cluster 6 includes universities that have low results in all areas of cooperation with business. The results of the study demonstrate the main approaches of universities to interact with business companies. The research task was implemented for the first time on a representative sample of Russian universities based on an analysis of the quantitatively assessed results of their cooperation with business. The article may be of interest to universities aimed at developing partnerships with business companies, as well as government authorities developing projects to support university-industry interaction. Support measures could become more diversified, considering the specific features of each cluster, and be aimed at stimulating the development of priority areas of cooperation with business for a particular university.

While intellectual property (IP) management is critical for innovation, specific knowledge and innovation patterns within it can obstruct commercialisation. This study explores how these patterns impede the path to market success for emerging innovations. We introduce a novel method to detect and recognise these patterns, offering insights into factors contributing to innovation system failure. Applying the Triple Helix Model, we leverage text mining, network analysis, and structural equation modelling within the Russian pharmaceutical industry. Our research reveals limitations in the triple helix model’s ability to capture problematic innovation patterns. Notably, local-closed and local semi-closed innovation networks emerge as significant barriers to commercialisation, further exacerbated by foreign dominance. While strong actor synergy is crucial, it alone cannot guarantee competitive advantage. Factors like geographical distance, disciplinary silos, and limited external collaboration further hinder success. This study highlights the need for effective knowledge production and collaboration practices, alongside strong synergy, to achieve market-leading innovations. Recognising and addressing these patterns can inform policy decisions, ultimately fostering more robust innovation outcomes, advancing innovation system theory in the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Living labs (LLs) are identified as innovation ecosystems to test and facilitate the diffusion of complex technological innovation, rising attention especially on cutting-edge automotive technologies. Autonomous and connected vehicles are indeed expected to deeply affect the automotive industry and the society in the coming years, by involving important technological, political, social, and legal issues. In such a complex framework, where different fields and stakeholders are deeply intertwined, new modes of interaction between multiple actors are necessary to support such technological innovation. By focusing on the case of the Modena Automotive Smart Area, an urban LL located within the Italian Motor Valley, we analyze the evolution of roles and relationships among the involved government, academia and industry actors. More specifically, by adopting the lens of Triple Helix model in practice, the purpose of the paper is to analyze how the actors contribute to and relate within the knowledge, consensus and innovation spaces, in a time span from before the formal inception of the LL to three years after. Results highlight how actors' collaboration and participation unfold in the creation of the LL when complex innovative technologies are tested in real urban environment, hence contributing to burgeoning literature on LL and the current academic debate on triple helix model. Policy and practical implications are also derived [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Urbanization, vocational education, and industry in China have been influenced by policy and economic changes. This article outlines potential solutions for the integrated development of urbanization, vocational education, and industry in China. By integrating the development ideas of the triple helix model based on international related research literature, this article proposes a development model for China's industry-education city integration. Taking the Liuzhou rail transit industry-education city as an example, this article adopts a comprehensive and sustainable development approach, including urban management, industry-education integration, and industry innovation and entrepreneurship, centered around the characteristics of urbanization, vocational education, and industry. The development of China's industry-education city through the triple helix model has brought about innovations in education, industry, urban form, policy, technology, and social culture, which can help China's urbanization, vocational education, and industry achieve spiral development.

The purpose of the study is to examine the roles of universities in the development of the regional economy, namely in the formation of clusters, as well as to analyze the changes in these roles depending on various reasons. The authors used the methods of induction, analysis, synthesis, comparison, and document analysis. The study is based on the triple helix model, which assumes the interaction of the university, industry and public authorities. The conceptual framework has been applied to the analysis of the activities of one of the Russian universities. The final section presents factors explaining the transformation of the role played by higher education institutions in regional development. The results of the study show the conditions on which university participation in the development of regional clusters depends and how it can provide a basis for the sustainable functioning of the universities themselves.

Purpose: The triple helix model measures the interactions between university, industry, and government and is used by researchers as a normative framework to understand the interactions between the main actors in innovation systems. The main goal of the current research is to analyze the dynamics of organizational interactions in the production of scientific articles in the field of electrical and electronic engineering in Iran. Therefore, this research tries to quantitatively assess the status of inter-organizational cooperation in scientific articles in the field of electrical and electronic engineering in Iran with the approach of the triple helix model. Method: The current research is of an applied type, which was conducted using the Triple Helix Model and based on the T(UIG) indicator for University-Industry-Government interactions. The statistical population of the research includes 19,802 scientific articles indexed in the Web of Science database, from Iran in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, during 2010-2019. TH software was used to convert data that was extracted from the Web of Science database into Excel format and to calculate the uncertainty of the interactions of the elements. In order to make a proper analysis in this regard, first, based on the usual and common research process of this field, the university was considered with code U, the industry with code I, and the government with code G. Findings: The findings of the research showed that the number of articles has grown in the studied period and reached 3216 articles in 2019 from 1019 articles in 2010. The findings show that the production of articles in all three pillars has an upward growth and the growth rate of articles from 2010 to 2019 is 0.63 for university, 2.5 for industry and 1.8 for government; On the other hand, the highest level of cooperation between the university and the industry has taken place, and the lowest level of cooperation has been between the government and the industry. The findings showed that the highest level of university-government interactions was in 2010 and the lowest level of government-industry interactions, which was close to zero in most years, indicating the independence and lack of connection between the mentioned elements. One of the remarkable results is that in the years 2010-2019, the interaction between the university and the industry was in contrast with the dual interaction between the university and the government. University-industry interaction has been aligned with industry-government interaction during the years under review. In 2014, the interaction between the dual and triple pillars was zero, while the university-industry interaction reached its highest level this year. Also, in 2014, the highest level of interaction between university-industry dual pillars has taken place, and the opposite is true for tripartite relationships, and in 2010, the highest degree of triple interaction between university-industry-government pillars is observed. Based on the values of T index, the highest amount of double and triple interactions between university-government, university-industry-government, university-industry, and industry-government have been seen, respectively. In 2014, the interaction of the dual and triple pillars was close to zero, but this year, the interaction between the university and the industry has increased a lot, which indicates that the government does not invest in the industry, and in other words, wherever the role of the government becomes weaker, The role of industry is more prominent. Conclusion: The findings showed that the number of articles has grown in the studied period, reaching 3216 articles in 2019 from 1019 articles in 2010. The results also show that the production of articles in all three pillars has an upward growth which the growth rate of articles from 2010 to 2019 is 0.63 for universities, 2.5 for industry, and 1.8 for government; On the other hand, the highest level of cooperation between the university and the industry has taken place, and the lowest level of cooperation has been between the government and the industry. The findings showed that the highest level of university-government interactions was in 2010, and the lowest level of government-industry interactions was close to zero in most years, indicating the independence and lack of connection between the mentioned elements.

This scientific work highlights, in the opinion of the authors, fundamental milestones in the evolution of today's approach to urban resilience. It is emphasized that, in the case of the three concepts under consideration, the most convenient and useful situation in terms of scalability, intended and created effect in the field of urban resilience is that of governance. However, the process of designing the necessary mechanisms and implementation is a complex and complicated one, starting from a simple stage of governance when the need for resilience is identified. However, most cities concerned with the issue are at a stage that is specific to management. It should also be pointed out that in some real situations, the three stages coexist in different forms and to different extents. The scientific methodology aims to investigate and use the most relevant literature for the theoretical analysis of the three proposed concepts, to investigate their semantic and practical compatibility. The practical aspects are made more specific by constructing an IDEF0-type model to highlight the interdependencies between the main categories of triple helix stakeholders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is devoted to the study of the construction of the mechanism of digital transformation of agriculture when building a management system for agro-industrial clusters. The new realities of socioeconomic relations at the international level and the level of individual states require involvement in digitalization trends. That makes it necessary to study the mechanism of digital transformation of the branches of the national economy, including agriculture. The use of new IT technologies contributes to the formation of competitive advantages and directions for the development of the industry. On the other hand, it acts as an incentive to activate and increase the efficiency of the management system by stimulating the introduction of achievements and trends in modern science and technology, which is especially important in the digitalization and digital transformation of agriculture. Accumulation, systematization, and generalization of traditional-historical and modern IT technologies and management system techniques is an element of integration and activation of network, cluster, and other innovative mechanisms in the modernization of the management system in the agro-industrial complex. The development of the agriculture digital transformation will allow to specify of the tools and methods of updating and building integrated management systems of system-forming innovative agroclusters will allow to generalize of the theoretical and methodological foundations, and develop recommendations for the formation of a management model of system-forming innovative agro-clusters using the concept of "triple helix" and modern digital technologies in the field of agro-industrial complex of Russia.

This study aims to determine, understand and analyze the higher education entrepreneurship development model. The model implementation process is carried out in stages, from the strategic plan stage, implementation in higher education units to mobilizing the community to participate in entrepreneurial activities. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study conducted at the Padang State University (UNP) West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The results show that the development model refers to the System Theory, manifested in the VALUE concept (View, appreciate, lead, understand and evaluate). The key factor as the primary capital for the implementation of the model is the milieu of the Padang community, which is thick with the entrepreneurial spirit in a spiritual, religious frame – Muslimprenur. This study implies that the VALUE concept leadership management process can produce output through Muslimpreneur-based student entrepreneurship development, ultimately increasing the value of innovation and independence for students.

As a direct result of the increased significance of knowledge in the various endeavours attempting to implement the triple helix model, higher education institutions have assumed a more prominent position in the processes involved in regional innovation and development. Expanding study on the helix model is currently examining the underlying causes and consequences of the evolution of the helix model in education. This research examines the relationship between the triple helix model and education by using bibliometric analysis on 227 articles subjected to peer review between 1970 and 2022. This investigation concentrated on three aspects of analysis: (1) document citation via the use of co-citation analysis that produce 4 clusters; (2) document cited reference through the utilisation of bibliographic coupling that generates 5 clusters; and (3) document keyword through the utilisation of co-word analysis with 4 clusters. These results are essential for academics, practitioners, and other interested parties working to improve the helix model for policymakers by putting it into an education strategy.

This research attempts to construct a second order observation model in understanding the significance of Artificial intelligence (AI) in changing the global power structure. Because of the inevitable ubiquity of AI in the world societies' near future, it impacts all the sections of society triggering socio-technical iterative developments. Its horizontal impact and states' race to become leader in the AI world asks for a vivid understanding of its impact on the international system. To understand the latter, Triple Helix (TH) model along with Shannon's information entropy has been used to operationalize system's theory. This model uses Shannon's information theory to calculate the uncertainty generated from the interactions between the sub-systems considered. Data for the latter has been taken from Sanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory 2019 report. It is found that European countries are the most effected in the AI era, with probability of losing their global influence and thus creating power void. Emerging powers such as India, Canada, South Africa and Brazil have better chances to fill the void and emerge as global influences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The South African clothing industry is among the industries viewed as strategic for socio-economic development by the South African government. The government's industrial policies incorporated University-Industry-Government (UIG) Research and Development (R&D) collaborations in efforts to achieve the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 and African Union's (AU) Agenda 2063, among others. The literature on UIG R&D collaborations in the context of developing economies and the clothing industry is limited and requires attention to support the achievement of the SDGs and AU Agenda aspirations. This paper presents the status quo of the South African clothing industry using qualitative and quantitative data. The authors interviewed 12 respondents from: the university fashion departments (3), clothing firms (2), clothing consulting firms (2), clothing-related research institutions (2), clothing-related the government divisions (3) and surveyed 22 clothing firms. Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data. The results show that the government plays a dominant role in these collaborations through policy, grants and incentives because of the lack of R&D activities in the South African clothing industry. The institutional sphere performs R&D activities mainly in isolation while some are pockets of R&D bilateral collaborations performed at arm's length. In light of this, the results indicate that the South African clothing industry is currently at the statist stage. The current triple helix model in play may negatively affect the role that the South African clothing industry can play in achieving the SDGs and AU Agenda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the article is to investigate the relationship between the number of active small and medium-sized businesses in Kazakhstan and the number of internal costs for research and development projects based on the use of economic and mathematical forecasting methods. As a result of the application of statistical and mathematical methods, the analysis of changes in the number of active SMEs and the volume of R&D expenditures in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 1999-2019 was carried out on the basis of constructing a paired linear regression model. The quality of the model was assessed, the interval for the lower and upper boundaries of the forecast of changes in the indicators of the number of active SMEs from the volume of R&D expenditures was calculated. An economic interpretation of the calculated data obtained because of constructing a linear paired regression model is given. It was revealed that the number of active SMEs by 94.5% is explained by the volume of internal R&D expenditures. A point forecast for the number of active SMEs has been calculated when the volume of internal R&D expenditures changes for 2022. The calculation of indicators of the lower and upper boundaries of the predicted value of the number of active SMEs has been carried out. With an increase in the volume of internal expenditures on R&D in the GDP of the Republic of Kazakhstan to 92,178 million tenge, the number of active small and medium-sized enterprises will be in the range from 1,244,436 to 1,669,622 units.

It is indeed a great misnomer to analyze the dimensions of academic capitalism with the steady rise of entrepreneurial university in lines with Western educational policies. It is indeed a long treaded journey in emerging underdeveloped economies which has given the notion of a dream of the next superpower wherein entrepreneurial universities are a very recent concept post liberalization of economy and change in governmental practices and loosing hold over bureaucratic affairs which has led more stronger the innovation landscape of industry–education–government nexus in building the nation. Recent years have seen the great crisis of COVID pandemic which has changed the ideologies and theoretical models underlying economic welfare states and the velocity of money running through society. Amidst huge literature in entrepreneurial university studies, very little work has been done which answers the very pertinent question and research gap of how the triple helix model arrived in India and how the central government in India changed its beliefs globally by inheriting such model in its innovation practices to champion the cause of bringing new products, economic welfare, product development; which transformed India’s idea of being an importer of healthcare facilities to an expert and exporter of medical facilities thus completely reversing the cycle of trade and global logistics in healthcare economic practices. This paper works on such exploratory case study concerning India’s success story in employing triple helix model of innovation in national policy practices and world economy.

Through better recruitment of Children's representatives working in mini-clubs, outdoor hospitality businesses have a further opportunity to both enhance the well-being of children while also addressing a major societal issue such as sustainability. The findings of the research suggest that the content of job advert for children's representatives should be recalibrating with a focus on philosophy of the organisation (responsible management education), which will then inform the type of knowledge wished to be conveyed (sustainability), how (case method), and the profile (qualifications, experience, personality, etc) of the staff needed. The findings of the research also highlight the fact that job crafting, which used to be solely a coping strategy used by staff, is also a coping strategy used by managers in their recruitment strategy. There is an urge for the development of qualifications/courses in Youth, Society and Sustainable Futures to prevent staff and managers developing their own coping strategies, which might negatively impact the performance of the organization. • Examines the neglect of children as a vulnerable group by outdoor hospitality businesses. • Advocates for the empowerment of children and adolescents through transformative services. • Emphasizes the importance of reassessing job descriptions and person specifications for children's representatives. • Utilizes lexicometric analysis on job descriptions from 1170 campsites to identify key attributes and classes for improvement. • Recommends educational qualifications and training programs to align with sustainability goals in T&H.

In order to ensure the international competitiveness and sustainable development of the French economy, the country's authorities have implemented a new industrial policy, which also provided for the building and support of competitiveness poles, particularly since year 2005. The poles of competitiveness are conglomerations of representatives of industry, research institutions, as well as local or regional authorities who, by creating synergies and continuous collaboration, reach the pinnacles of economic efficiency. In addition to meeting all these conditions, the French poles are modern class clusters, fully adapted to the current trends of innovative development. They have managed to achieve multiple concrete results in terms of economic growth, succeeding in contributing to the modernization of the economy by increasing the competitiveness of products, services and labour. Members of the competitiveness poles aim to develop competitive advantages that provide for the sustainability of the innovation process.

Single-industry regions, common to all industrially developed countries, need to overcome the economic crises. We assume that it is possible to achieve this goal based on new forms of cooperation between the main participants: business, state, education, and science. Based on the triple helix model, the study develops a mechanism for cooperation between higher education and business in depressed single-industry regions. The model was tested on the example of the Republic of Kazakhstan. We use the methodological principles of logical, statistical analysis and synthesis. To increase the impact of universities on the national economic growth, we propose a cooperation mechanism based on the Triple Helix model. This model is adapted to the specificity of single-industry and depressed regions, where regional universities play a dominant role as a source of innovation and innovative synergy for the cooperation of partners involved. Simultaneously, the creation of new forms of cooperation between higher education and business leads to the acceleration of social and economic development of regions. The mechanism of the proposed triple helix model aims to encourage all participants to generate innovations, provide high-quality educational services, conduct research and fill business orders. Local and state authorities in the field of economic management can use the results and conclusions of the survey for creating regional development programmes.

The study of the interaction of the state, universities and business is carried out, the specifics of the interaction of the elements of the “triple helix” in Russia are revealed. Conclusions are drawn about the weak development of the business spiral and the uncertain role of universities in the model of innovative activity. The analysis of the dynamics of the Global Innovation Index and sub-indices is carried out and the weak development of interaction within the framework of innovation clusters, strategic alliances and the low level of R&D funding is revealed. Based on the analysis of the opportunities and limitations of large and small businesses, directions are proposed for increasing the innovative activity of the region

Although several prior studies have outlined and examined models associated with knowledge and innovation in different fields, the literature lacks any solid insights combining the Triple Helix model and the Spinner Innovation model and ascertaining their relevance to innovation. This article correspondingly presents an unprecedented alternative based on two innovation models, analyzing and structuring a process to innovate in different economic sectors. In doing so, this paper seeks to explore how this integration between Spinner Innovation and Triple Helix models could have a significant influence to improve system innovation. We collected data from the Scopus database spanning the period between 2012 and 2021 to study the integration of the models. The analysis identifies how these models differ but are nevertheless of complementary importance for developing regional and national economies through combining the “helices”, the “fidgets” and the framework integrating both models and their components to system innovation.

The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are inherently complex. This paper contributes to the literature on co-production of knowledge at the interface of science, policy, and society in integrated, transdisciplinary research (TDR) projects. By analysing five projects of the Leading Integrated Research for Agenda 2030 in Africa (LIRA) implemented in nine African cities, the paper identifies the pathways for science-policy-society interactions (SPSI) within the TDR projects, the cross-scale and contextual dynamics influencing the interactions as well as the challenges of foregrounding the interactions. We identified four SPSI pathways: i) TDR processes, ii) explicitly conceptualising and communicating research projects in relation to mandates and policies, iii) the global sustainability agenda, and iv) relationships and networks. We argued that these pathways can be construed as important windows for foregrounding SPSI in TDR projects. Cross-scale dynamics such as the spatial scale of interactions, actors' roles, and purposes of engagement were critical determinants of the intensity and frequency of the interactions between the project actors. The analysis suggests that being context-sensitive is key to foregrounding SPSI in TDR projects. Conceptual threshold crossing, resource intensity, power differentials, discontinuity, as well as a history of academic and practice silos present formidable challenges to SPSI in TDR projects. These challenges can be addressed through the identified pathways, adequate capability development; incentivising academics and practitioners engaged in co-production of knowledge; stimulating co-production through adequate resources; building redundancies within the project teams, ideas, and processes, and paying attention to the politics of co-production of knowledge. • Context-sensitivity is crucial to SPSI in Transdisciplinary research (TDR). • Science-policy-society interactions (SPSI) is complex in TDR projects. • Intensity and frequency of SPSI interaction depends on actor's role. • The supra-system is important to understanding influence of external context. • SPSI in TDR contributes to addressing the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

This article is predicated on university–industry interaction as a precursor for knowledge-based economic development in Nigeria. It is a preparatory pilot study for full-fledged Ph.D. research, highlighting the collaboration within two universities and six knowledge-intensive firms. The firms are software and hardware development companies located in Maiduguri and Kano, both in Northern Nigeria. A conceptual framework was designed based on the national innovation system (NIS) to measure the intensity of the collaboration, possible innovation output and knowledge flow between the universities and industry. Findings show a limited partnership due to factors inhibiting the relationships, such as communication problems, trust issues, lack of motivation, different orientations of the organizations and different research orientations.

The research aims to develop a theoretical framework that presents a vision for the successful application of the triple helix model in developing countries, by transforming developing countries to the second mode of production of applied knowledge to build a triple cooperation between the university, industry, and the government. The most important findings of the study: is that the inability of developing countries to enter the knowledge economy is attributed to the excessive focus of developing countries on the first mode of theoretical knowledge production (research and theoretical teaching in the context of specialization). As well as interest in the institutional approach. To face the trap of weak or nonexistent technology companies, as well as the absence of national champion companies or large innovative industrial clusters that the basis of global competition (weak commercial economy) and Existence of theoretical and non-applied universities (weak research economy), the result is that both commercial and research economies are not suitable for knowledge innovation. On the other hand, they neglected a shift towards the second mode of Applied Theoretical Knowledge production (research, teaching and innovation in a multidisciplinary applied context) and an evolutionary approach, in order to build both applied professional universities, Entrepreneurial applied universities (strong research economy). Moreover, to build technology startups and large innovative industrial clusters or national champion companies (strong commercial economy) to shift towards knowledge innovation and enter the knowledge economy. The study recommends following. The Chinese government's leadership pattern of the lagged situation in the application of the triple helix model, in order to be able to shift towards the knowledge economy. As well as establishing a center for studies of applying the triple helix model in Egypt to develop technology startups, applied professional universities, Entrepreneurial applied universities in order to enter and build the knowledge economy.

• Teacher used contextualized TBL, THM, STEM, and PBL models in activity. • The PBL, STEM, TBL and THM promote interaction in a flipped classroom. • Innovative entrepreneurship ideas based on PBL, STEM, TBL, and THM were used to create a product at the university level. • High education must impact people, profits and the planet. • Society demands interaction between people, profits and the planet. This proposal, based on curricular innovation, addresses the need to improve entrepreneurship education and the transition from theoretical to hands-on constructivist activities by addressing an unresolved problem such as environmental protection. The descriptive study considers the potential of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as action-based higher education teaching activities to support advance entrepreneurial education of all students in a set of beneficial practices. Working in teams, students faced the challenge of applying their knowledge in practice and gained the satisfaction of using attractive, innovative and motivating activities to describe and develop prototype eco-friendly shopping bags. The study fills a gap in the literature by providing the precise in-class methodology for applying of a practical exercise with the introduction of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and the Triple Helix Model (THM). The principal finding was the students succeeded in acquiring support to sell their prototype bags within the community with the municipality and industry cooperation. This approach would be suitable for application in different teaching environments, including MBA and executive entrepreneurship programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
