Evaluating Economic and Environmental Impact of A Plastic Waste Processing Industry nased on Circular Economy using Benefit-Cost Analysis

Plastic has played a dominant role in human life as its usage is increasing over time. Plastic waste can harm the environment because plastic is not biodegradable. A collaboration adopted from the quintuple helix model was initiated by the local government of Cilegon, Indonesia, industry, and community to tackle the plastic waste problem. Plastic waste from households and industry is collected and processed in the plastic waste processing industry using the pyrolysis method producing gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. Kerosene is used by the community as fuel for cooking, whereas diesel and gasoline are used as boat fuels by fishermen. The collaboration is expected to provide economic and environmental benefits for the people in the Cilegon area. We conducted a cost and benefit analysis to evaluate the feasibility of this project from an economic and ecological point of view. The results will be used as input for conducting similar projects in other cities.

Relationship of Regional Development and Helix Models of Innovation: The Case of Turkey (2010-2019)

Sürekli Ülkeler arasındaki gelir farklılıklarının yanı sıra aynı ülke içinde farklı bölgelerde gelir dağılımının değiştiği görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda ülke genelinde uygulanacak genel büyüme politikalarının yanı sıra gelişmişlik farklarını en aza indirecek bölgesel kalkınma politikalarının uygulanması önemlidir. Son dönemde gelişen Üçlü Sarmal Modeli (Triple Helix) üniversite, sanayi ve devlet ilişkisini ve etkileşimini analiz ederek yenilik ve bölgesel kalkınmayı etkileyen faktörleri ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmada üçlü sarmal modelinin Türkiye için geçerliliği TÜİK’in belirlediği 12 alt bölge ekonomisinin 2010-2019 yılı verileri kullanılarak panel veri analizi yaklaşımı ile araştırılmıştır. Modeldeki Üniversite faktörü, Bölgesel Yüksek Lisans ve Doktora Mezunu Sayısı değişkeniyle; Sanayi faktörü Bölgesel İstihdam Oranı değişkeni ile ve Kamu faktörü Bölgesel Hükümetin Toplam Bütçe Harcamaları değişkeni ile analizde kullanılmış ve bölgesel gelire etkisi araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar bölgesel istihdam oranı ve hükümet harcamalarındaki artışların, bölgesel kişi başına düşen gayri safi yurt içi hasılayı (GSYİH) artırdığını fakat yüksek lisans ve doktora mezunu sayısının bölgesel gelir üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir katkısının olmadığını göstermiştir. Bu bağlamda üçlü sarmal modelinin de önerdiği üzere üniversitenin bölgesel geliri artırmaya daha fazla katkı sunmasının önünü açacak ve iş birliğinin geliştirilmesini sağlayacak adımların atılması önemlidir.

МАЛЫЙ БИЗНЕС РЕГИОНА: СОСТОЯНИЕ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ

The article studies the state and trends in the development of small and medium-sized businesses, tourism and trade, as an integral part of the socio-economic system of the Voronezh region. The analysis of the state of the problem was carried out on the basis of statistical data of the Federal State Statistics Service, financial (accounting) statements of enterprises, data obtained from open sources, including official websites. A survey was conducted among representatives of small and medium-sized businesses in the Voronezh region through an online survey. The problems, risks and opportunities for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, trade and tourism in the Voronezh region are identified based on a SWOT analysis. The current negative situation may be of a long-term nature, therefore, a scenario for overcoming the crisis was developed and measures to support the region's economy were identified. As a result of the study, growth points for the development of domestic tourism were outlined. Reserves have been identified that allow creating conditions for the further development of small and medium-sized businesses in the economy of the Voronezh region. A special role in the way out of this situation is played by the cooperative model of the quadruple helix (science - state - business - society). The concretization of the proposed activities is a debatable issue and requires additional study by the scientific community.

NURTURING TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINED GROWTH: ROLE OF UNIVERSITIES

At a theoretical level, the triple helix model has been developed and understood by scholars for the last two decades. The interdependence and the interplay among the government – academia-industry, both at a theoretical as well as empirical level is well established. Researchers have focused on different stages of the triple helix model, wherein the first stage is denoted as the statist model. This paper tries to understand and express the application of the Triple Helix Model in the case of T-Hub, an incubator in India and its success due to its interplay with universities. An embedded single case study approach has been used to understand the interaction between local government, academic institutions, and the industry. The case shows the strategic application of the Triple Helix Model for encouraging entrepreneurial activity at Hyderabad by the Government of Telangana for optimum results by bringing together universities, industry, and the state apparatus.

Be resilient today to be sustainable tomorrow: Different perspectives in global supply chains

Supply chains (SC) are continually evolving, adjusting their structure, and becoming more global over time. However, an increasing number of disruptive and unanticipated critical events threaten the continuity of global SCs. This has led institutions and business organizations to enact resilience-oriented policies and strategies to make them able to survive and grow. Dealing with resilience, scholars have recognized two main approaches, the engineering, and the socio-ecological ones. Against this backdrop, the main aim of this work is to investigate the individual and the conjoint effects that these two approaches can have on SC long-term sustainability. Drawing on SC resilience and sustainability research, a taxonomy of some drivers of engineering and socio-ecological resilience has been proposed, which have lately been tested assuming the triple helix model perspective. Then, an exploratory content analysis has been conducted on some reports that three different actors (institutions, universities, and companies) published over the last three years to understand the influence and the possible implications of resilience for SC sustainability. The findings indicate that institutional communication regarding resilience and sustainability remains fragmented, even though the triple helix actors appear synergistic in developing a broad framework for enhancing SC resilience. This work represents one of the first attempts to empirically test and describe the way different socio-economic actors approach the possible relationship between resilience and sustainability. It also offers some interesting insights for both theory and practice, related to the main drivers of resilience and their implications for sustainability, and to the strategic approaches that can support companies to quickly react to unexpected and disruptive events.

Business incubators in Brazil: realities and challenges

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe five business incubators in Brazil through the Triple Helix model, their realities and challenges. Theoretical framework – A discussion of Business incubators, Triple Helix and the use of Information and Communication Technologies in incubators are the main lenses used to support the research. Design/methodology/approach – For this purpose, five case studies of incubators in the Northern and Southern Regions of Brazil were used. The paper uses a qualitative approach and collects data through semi-structured interviews. To analyze the results, the theory was compared to the findings from the field research. Findings - The results showed that most incubators are in public universities, the majority focus on technology, and some are diverse (social and cultural). Some internal and external partners help them with financial support. One of the challenges (maybe the most important) is a set of constraints because some lecturers cannot understand how to use academic knowledge in consultancy. Research, Practical & Social implications – The differences found between incubator categories are in the results that lead to this business model being more complex than it is in reality. The presentation of different incubator realities and challenges focusing on the discussion of ‘selling’ knowledge, the use of public resources by private enterprises, are the practical and social implications. Originality/value - The main contribution is to show the reality of these incubators, the empirical results, adding a new perspective to the discussion. Keywords - Business incubators; Challenges; Triple Helix; Information and Communication Technology.

A decision analysis model for smart mobility system development under circular economy approach

Circular economy (CE) is recognized as one of the most popular theories of the decade. Its domain spreads to disciplines like production, environmental sciences, and transport/mobility sectors. This research corresponds to one of the essential questions in CE which look for effective solutions in smart mobility systems regarding eco-innovation indicators. We conducted a deep survey on CE and smart mobility literature and sorted out potential solutions (alternatives) and fundamental indicators based on the Quintuple Helix model. Then, a rough-based multiple criteria decision analysis model was adopted by the incorporation of LMAW (logarithm methodology of additive weights) and MARCOS (measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to the COmpromise Solution) methods. To analyse the potential solutions, ten experts from relevant sectors assisted us in composing an assessment platform through qualitative comparison. Initial results showed that public transport (good practices) and shared mobility services are amongst the best solutions for establishing a smart mobility plan. Our decision-making model was tested and showed that our ranking scores are highly confidential and stable. The outcome of this study can be benchmarked in urban planning, where policymakers should rethink the transport and mobility sectors, structuring, development, and economic remodelling which are top decision-making problems nowadays.

TRIPLE HELIX MODEL IN HANDLING CHALLENGES TO THE INFORMAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

The COVID19 pandemic and the multiple phases of MCOs have caused a massive impact on informal economic activities. The operators have to transform their economic activities from physical to online platforms. However, changing the economic activity platform is not as easy as it may seem. It requires the operators to acquire new skills. Therefore, this paper intends to unleash the challenges faced by the operators in transforming their businesses from physical to online platforms. This study employs a qualitative approach to achieve the objective of this study. The main respondent in this study is the fishermen’s community. Three parties are involved in this study: the operators (fishermen and the entrepreneurs), the government, and the academia. Findings show that the triple helix model provides a positive platform for operators to continue their businesses online. The bonding between these three parties provides a new path for the informal operators to sustain their well-being and better quality of life.

Assessing Malaysia Marine Fisheries Sustainability Under Climate Change Pressure: A Quintuple Helix Approach

Marine fisheries are a major industry in Malaysia fisheries sector, which contributes significant growth in the economy and national food security. Unfortunately, this industry is vulnerable to the threats of climate change in relation to the marine environment such as the rising sea level, water acidity, and sea surface temperature. This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on the sustainability of marine fisheries in Malaysia. This study uses Quintuple Helix model approach which is the expansion of the established Triple Helix sustainability model that includes climate change as one of the important indicators. It involves a time-series analysis from 1989 to 2018 using Auto-Regressive Distribution Lag (ARDL). A long and short-run impact from rising in temperature and sea level on marine fisheries sustainability will help to impose a better adaptation and mitigation strategy for this industry. Consequently, the sustainability of marine fisheries will secure national economic prosperity and healthy protein supply.

Arctic Sustainable Development: Role of Business in the Quadruple Helix Model (Example of Norilsk Nickel)

The article discusses the role and significance of Norilsk Nickel as one of the actors of sustainable development in the Arctic region. The author considers Norilsk Nickel’s projects and argues for the company’s significant role in achieving UN goals (in particular, SDGs 6-8, 12-15, 17), strengthening the system of sustainable development and links between other actors. The author argues that some of the UN SDGs are achieved by the Company through the development of the ESG system, elimination of negative consequences of its activities, assumption of some responsibilities by other actors, active interaction with public and state actors, research and international structures. The methodological basis of the study was the Helix model, in particular “Quadruple helix», which is traditionally used to analyze the role of actors of innovative development. As a result of the analysis of Nornickel projects, the author proposes the development of the helix model by adding a fifth spiral and the role of «Destructor» (to the roles of «Observer» and «Creator»). In the transition to sustainable development there are cases of not only creative but also destructive roles of actors (arising spontaneously or consciously). With a responsible and conscious attitude toward sustainable development, a destructive actor’s role can stimulate constructive roles.

Introducing Research Loop to Achieve Open Innovation for Research Centers in Quintuple Helix

Open Innovation has great significance and so far several definitions have been proposed, the most widely accepted definition referring to the correlation of Open Innovation with research organizations. Helix models have been proposed to analyze how collaborations work among key stakeholders and research centers and they were found to have a prominent part in all their iterations. This work presents the challenges that research organizations face in terms of interaction with other organizations, their operations (resources, funding issues), and how they determine the research directions to be followed, and analyzes how the adoption of Open Innovation practices can tackle these challenges and the effects it has. The Open Innovation practices of outsourcing and co-creation are mentioned, with the latter needing to be further developed and elaborated. We propose a novel process, called Research Loop, which aims and succeeds to provide Open Innovation for research organizations. It achieves to involve several different organizations, identify existing research gaps, and produce new knowledge. The proposed process includes the various advantages of applying Open Innovation to the analyzed research centers.

Productivity of Clinical Trials Conducted in the Gulf Cooperative Council Region.

This study aimed to assess the productivity of clinical trials in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, including Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait and to address the existing research gap. Specifically, this paper aimed to estimate the number of clinical trials conducted and estimate the proportion of clinical trials conducted in the GCC countries published in peer-reviewed journals. The clinical trials registry of the US National Library of Medicine was searched for clinical trials conducted from January 2000 to October 2019. The productivity was assessed by the publication status of the trials in the registry and through the search in MEDLINE indexed journals. A total of 682 trials were found from the GCC region, with an overall trend of 4.1 trials each year. However, the clinical trial productivity from the region contributes to only 0.37% of the trials globally. When comparing the raw data, Saudi Arabia showed the highest proportion, contributing 66.6% of the clinical trials from the region (P <0.001), while Oman contributed 3.5%. After normalisation to population, Qatar was found to be the highest contributor, with 42.78 trials per million. A total of 238 trials were conducted before 2016, of which 46.6% were published. Saudi Arabia is the leading country in clinical trial productivity in the GCC region. Countries in the GCC should utilise the triple helix model to form partnerships with the industry and improve their contributions to science.

Towards developing a national framework for industry 4.0 in African emerging economies

Unlike past industrial eras, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (industry 4.0) is accelerated and continues to gain momentum. While developed economies are making remarkable progress and contributing geometrically to the global value chain, African emerging economies have continued to grapple with multiple uncertainties regarding industry 4.0 implementation at all levels. The main objective of this study is to develop a macro-level framework for developing industry 4.0 initiatives in emerging economies of Africa. Using a systematic literature review protocol, industrial transformation initiatives from 22 of 25 leading economies were analyzed based on 12 thematic indicators. The result shows that industry 4.0 in leading economies is built on named strategic initiatives with clearly defined objectives, policy thrusts, funding models, and multi-stakeholder involvement and implementation plans. This implies that the industry 4.0 agenda in emerging economies requires bespoke industrial transformation initiatives driven by robust policy, industry, and research integration. This paper makes theoretical and practical contributions by putting forward a macro-level innovation adoption model – the ‘coopetitive triple helix model’ and a national framework for developing industrial transformation initiatives for African emerging economies, respectively.
