Opis

This volume contributes to the expanding literature on "triple helix" innovation - focusing on developing countries. Based on practical cases and experiences from Africa, Latin America and Asia, best practices from developed countries are examined. The authors address specific issues which are critical to the economic and social development of specific regions in developing countries such as:

• The role of universities in developing, sharing and disseminating all forms of knowledge
• Triple helix as a discontinuous innovation and a new paradigm to provide a sustainable basis for innovation and technological progress.
• The implications of the ‘triple helix paradigm’ for the organization and management of the university system, and also for the modalities of technology transfer practices in developing countries
• The theoretical basis for the  triple helix system of innovation and sustainable development
