Collaboration in Innovation Systems: A Study in India

Abstract The increased complexity in the current business environment connected with the globalisation of economies and rapid technological developments makes firms depend on innovation and, in the process, develop dense networks of relationships, making collaboration an essential requisite for innovation. Thus, collaboration develops based on complex social networks from which innovation emerges. From this perspective, collaboration takes a systematic approach, where social relationships are crucial. This article describes the innovation behaviour of firms operating in India and introduces collaboration as a system drawing from the systems theory and triple helix innovation model. The results of the mixed methods study conducted pointed toward a fragile collaboration framework. Triangulation was employed to provide a deeper understanding. Furthermore, limited understanding of collaboration as a social system has constrained social interactions, leading to limited knowledge production, application, and knowledge sharing, with technological development and innovation delays. The article lists crucial factors from the perspectives of industry and academia to foster a collaboration framework.

Failed Co-Creation: The Case of the BCNStreet-Lab Project

We present the results of the BCNStreet-lab project, a co-creation process of a prototype that "died before it even existed" and that has led us to reflect on the creative power that participatory design can have among experts. Examining the high variability that the design acquired with the co-creation sessions, we realized how an open co-creation process can generate overflows in the design. It makes innovation possible but can also lead to failure, as is this case, because of how risky participatory design of “fluid technologies” and how ineffective reproducing the Quadruple helix innovation model in small projects can be. We tried to account for the fruitful relationship between co-creation and the design of electronic technologies, which happens in the “lobby” of the technical design of the prototype. It generates negotiations and interactions that lead to progress in the democratization of design practices in electronic engineering, computing, and telecommunications. At this point, co-creation is conceived as a space in which institutional practices, social needs, technological imaginaries, economic interests, techno-scientific interests, etc., are brought together, translated and inscribed into the design of technologies.

Fostering Digital Inclusion in TVET Teacher Training: Insights from Quadruple Helix Innovation Model

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT, hereafter) has permeated almost every facet of human endeavours. In recent times, the world has seen the massive deployment of diverse technologies to facilitate work processes, and this is the thriving strength of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). Besides, the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic exacerbated the situation, as this has led to the discovery of some new technologies in the delivery of goods and services across all sectors, with education as a major beneficiary. However, some educational institutions, Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges (TVET, hereafter) inclusive, especially in developing countries remained closed during the lockdown period due to lack of capacity and infrastructure. Hence, this paper taps into the affordances of the multi-stakeholder collaborations framework of the Quadruple Helix Innovation Model to review published articles, policy documents and conference papers among others on possible ways to foster digital inclusion in TVET. Highlights from the review point to the following benefits of multi-stakeholder partnerships namely, collaborative designing and creation of digital policy, access to digital resources and infrastructure, and increased affordability and sustainability of digital inclusion of training programmes. Thus, it was concluded that these highlighted benefits resulting from such collaboration can be translated into the planning and implementation of digital inclusion in TVET.

A hypothetical improvement of the quadruple helix model of innovation

Orientation: Innovation is forged by sub-revolutions as described by the quadruple helix (QH) model. Research purpose: Innovation model formation is complex, and the useful QH model can develop and improve to be exemplary. Motivation for the study: The rationale of the study is to validate and improve the QH model with additional concepts, fresh perspectives of experts and the investigation of the primary sub-revolutions forging innovation. Research design, approach and method: A conceptual and critical review approach implied narrative data of the model from secondary sources; a convenience sample of five innovation experts for critical reviews was thematically analysed. Main findings: Ultimately, the improved QH model must accommodate the legal, moral and ethical world to merge with the physical, biological and digital worlds; appropriate terminology for QH innovation leadership is needed, and triple technology theory (TTT) should be incorporated with the triple management theory (TMT) dimension of the model; the review conformed the sub-revolutions of innovation with respect to (1) innovation leadership, upscaling agility and innovation essentials, (2) the triple helix (TH) ecosystems sub-revolution and epochal society and (3) the new technological paradigm, technology intensity and TMT. Practical/managerial implications: The already useful QH model is confirmed and may develop to become exemplary with respect to the hypothetical improvements suggested. Contribution/value-add: A fresh and improved QH model is suggested in the context of complex innovation model formation and the paucity of literature.

The University as a Participant of the Regional Innovation Ecosystem: A Typology of Basic Behavioral Strategies

This research is based on studying foreign works devoted to universities as participants of regional innovation ecosystems. The purpose of the article is to typologize basic strategies of universities’ behavior. The authors analyze the cases of various universities attempting to transform their behavior in accordance with the logic of the ecosystem approach. The authors’ typology of universities’ behavior strategies (passive, neutral, active) contributes to the literature on regional innovation ecosystems and the universities’ changing role in them. These three types are further subdivided into seven basic strategies of universities’ behavior according to the degree of their involvement in regional innovation processes, according to the internal and external environments of the university, as well as to the goals and objectives facing them. These strategies differ in five parameters: social and economic context, incentives for transformation, ecosystem structure, key participants’ roles, university’s goals and functions. The parameters are derived from a set of approaches synthesized by the «umbrella concept» of regional innovation ecosystems: the stakeholder approach, the concept of open innovations, the theory of agency relations, the transformational approach, the triple helix model and the quadruple helix model of innovation. The article might be of interest for those researchers who study the problems of regions’ economic and innovative development and the transformations of the modern higher education system in the world and in Russia. Of no less interest might it be for university managers, for representatives of regional authorities, and for businessmen aimed at cooperation with universities.

Acceptance of stakeholder comments during EMA scientific guideline public consultations: Legitimacy of the quadruple helix model of innovation.

Guidelines establish a framework for how therapeutics and vaccines are developed, assessed and approved. They influence which innovations are likely to be approved in the European Union (EU), and thus, they have an impact on the pipeline decisions taken by research-based industry. This study analyses the level of acceptance for changes suggested by stakeholders within the authoring groups at the European Medicines Agency (EMA). We looked at 87 guidelines from EMA Working Parties (WPs) launched for consultation between 2013 and 2017. Acceptance of stakeholder proposals and the time between the end of consultation and guideline adoption were studied as well as the openness of different WPs to accept changes. Adoption of a guideline after the close of public consultation took at least 4 months, with an average of 12-16 months. The number of accepted and rejected comments were nearly equal across the stakeholders, with government having slightly higher chance for acceptance. Academia and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) had generally higher chances to have their comments accepted for general and indication-level guidelines. Government and individual companies had highest acceptance for molecule-level guidelines and trade associations for indication-level guidelines. Only a third of the comments related to scientific content of the guideline. This pattern of progress in regulatory science at EMA demonstrates the essential and interrelated role of academia, industry, government and civil society-described as the quadruple helix model-to promote establishment of a strong innovation ecosystem in Europe.

Barium Ferrite Magnet As Anti-Radar Material

This article discusses barium ferrite magnets and their potential use as anti-radar materials for stealth technology in Indonesia. This study uses a variety of literature and the latest research results. Stealth technology was developed by creating an anti-radar substance capable of absorbing radar signals known as radar absorbing material. According to the literature review findings, barium ferrite-based magnets have the potential to be raw materials for radar wave absorbers since they absorb microwaves, including the frequency of waves utilized in radar. The magnetic characteristics and ability of barium ferrite magnets to absorb radar waves are affected by various conditions, including chemical and organic components. Barium ferrite magnets have been used as anti-radar materials in the military, in ships, aircraft, land vehicles, and clothing. The potential of barium ferrite as a determinant for modern military technology in Indonesia is considerable, but it is still limited in laboratory research. The Indonesian government can acquire stealth technology by implementing a dual-use technology strategy and a triple helix innovation model.

The Managerial challenges and main barriers in universities within the Triple Helix context

The Triple Helix model of innovation is unquestionably the most discussed model for innovation in both developed and developing countries. This model advocates reinforcement of the cooperation between the university, business and government. The world is changing rapidly; consequently, this innovation model is mutating by taking different forms of interactions and collaborating under various conditions, posing various challenges and barriers toward three agents’ interactions. There have been many studies on three helices relationships type, three actors` interaction cases and main challenges. However, few studies concerning the Triple Helix model examined the managerial challenges in academia in realizing the Triple Helix Model and University-Industry linkages. A significant role is imposed on universities as the primary source of new knowledge, ideas, creativity and innovation. To push forward the strengthening of the university-industry collaborations within the Triple Helix model in universities of Kazakhstan, we aimed to define the main managerial challenges and barriers in other developing countries in this model realization. As a result, the systematic literature review displayed many challenging aspects in the universities’ micro-level management and the main difficulties of university-industry collaborations. Key words: triple helix, university-industry collaborations, managerial issues.

Как модель тройной спирали инноваций меняет борьбу с COVID-19 в Индии?

It is indeed a great misnomer to analyze the dimensions of academic capitalism with the steady rise of entrepreneurial university in line with Western educational policies. It has been a long journey in emerging underdeveloped economies has given the dream of the next superpower where entrepreneurial universities are a very recent concept of post-liberal economy, change in governmental practices and bureaucratic affairs. This has led to a stronger innovation landscape of industry-education-government nexus in building the nation. Recent years have seen the great crisis of COVID-19 pandemic which has changed the ideologies and theoretical models underlying economically well-off states and the velocity of money circulation. Amidst the huge amount of literature in entrepreneurial university studies, very little work has been done which answers the very pertinent question and covers the research gap. Namely, how the Triple Helix model arrived in India and how the central government in India dramatically changed its beliefs by inheriting such a model in its innovation practices. The model that championed the cause of bringing about new products, economic welfare and product development. These transformed India's idea of being an importer of healthcare facilities to becoming 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 an exploratory case study concerning India's success story in employing triple helix model of innovation in national policy practices and world economy.

How Entrepreneurial University Model is changing the Indian COVID–19 Fight?

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.

How do institutional changes facilitate university-centric networks in Taiwan? The Triple Helix model of innovation view

AbstractThis article investigates how institutional changes facilitate university-centric interactions from the Triple Helix model of innovation perspective. The Triple Helix research framework consists of three cyclical dimensions, namely government institutional changes, the roles, missions, and interactions of universities, and university-centric networks. By developing a triangulation method, the qualitative dataset of the Taiwanese institutional changes includes science and technology, educational, and industrial policies; the quantitative dataset (1986–2015) collects the patents of Taiwanese universities via the US Patent and Trademark Office database. The results reveal that integrated policies systemically facilitate institutional changes that drive the transition of university’s roles and missions, while the university-centric networks have transformed from isolated to loosely-coupled and ultimately, to densely interactive networks. This article concludes that government institutional changes have effectively transformed the roles and interactions of universities with other actors towards entrepreneurial universities, in turn, have facilitated a more interactive Triple Helix model of innovation in Taiwan. Some policy implications are suggested.

Tapping the Potential of Rice Research for Sustainable Agricultural Development: Lessons from Malaysia’s Public Research Institutions

This paper explores the achievements, implications and future potential of rice research to achieve sustainable agricultural development in Malaysia according to the Quadruple Helix Innovation Model. The case study on Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) reveals that there are three elements that drive food security and sustainable rice research and development – quality research by Public Research Institutions (PRIs), cooperative private firms in supporting national agricultural agenda and productive farmers in delivering high-yields farming. This paper claims that the presence of public-driven objectives in rice research is the crucial pivot in achieving national food security. The study also found that the cooperation from private firms is key in steering national agricultural agenda towards self-sustaining. The study also found the potential of civil society organisations (CSOs) to transform farmers into more active key players in sustainable agricultural development.

The Social Impact of Green Innovation: Towards a Conceptual Framework

ABSTRACT Amidst the environmental crisis, governments and communities increasingly expect businesses to follow a “green agenda” when undertaking innovation. This paper proposes that innovating firms, when following a green strategy, have the potential to generate a wider social impact, besides the usual positive business outcomes. The main arguments are developed under the multiple helices concept (derived from the original triple helix model of innovation), which proposes a collaborative approach between key institutions. The framework allows investigation of: (1) how various innovation-actors assist firms in undertaking green innovation and (2) to what extent does green innovation (via multiple helices) create a social impact? This paper will be valuable as the conceptualisation of social impact assists governments in supporting those business-initiated green innovation projects which maximise public good.

Description and assessment of a collaborative agricultural extension program adopted under the triple helix model of innovation

The triple helix model (THM) studies the interactions between academia, industry, and government designed to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in a knowledge-based society. This paper shows how agricultural extension works through the THM for inclusive innovation to evaluate its effects on farmers. For this purpose, we analyze the case of Cultiva UChile, a technology transfer center led by the University of Chile that operated from 2016 to 2020 and that was financed by and in cooperation with public sector organizations. Cultiva UChile offered extension services to vegetable growers from the Chilean Central Valley. As our main sources of information, we used internal reports and surveys of 91 farmers who received Cultiva UChile extension services from 2019–2020. A qualitative study of this organization, the actors involved, and the operation and governance of the center and a quantitative analysis of the center’s direct effects adopting descriptive techniques and binary logistic regression were used. The results show strong interactions between actors as the basis of Cultiva UChile and its positive short-term direct effects regardless of farmers’ paths in terms of innovation, cooperation, and investment. These results lead us to conclude that extension services adopted under the THM can be appropriate means to promote inclusive innovation in agriculture.
