The importance of context in innovation policy has been highlighted in the literature on innovation studies, in which the results depended on numerous factors, such as the characteristics of the components and the dynamics of their national innovation systems (Chaminade, et al., 2013), the inter-relation of six aspects grounded in their particular context: industry and technology, organizational, institutional and policy, social, timing, and spatial (Autioet al., 2014), that link the three dimensions of entrepreneurial activity (rate, magnitude of novelty, variety of entrepreneurial exploitation) with the four features of the entrepreneurial context: spatial, time, social and institutional (Zahra and Wright, 2011), generating different resolutions, among the university-industry-government relations, and alternative strategies (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorf, 2000). Triple Helix experiments have been used in developing countries in order to encourage economic and social development based on knowledge creation (Saad and Zawdie, 2011).
This line is devoted to further enhancing our understanding of the Triple Helix initiatives in developing countries, which have been discussed in previous conferences. We invite submissions contributing to the analysis of how the Triple Helix model has been creatively incorporated in public policies, university missions and business strategies and how the interaction between university-industry-government has been improving economic and social development, social inclusion and sustainability in those countries, in order to introduce new theoretical and empirical ideas.
