Features: This book proposes a new management theory from social, political, and scientific perspectives. The triple helix is an innovative model that refers to the close cooperation and interaction among universities, industries, and governments in the innovation process. Each of these three institutions demonstrates some capabilities of the other two while maintaining its own independent identity. Due to the connections and interactions, each helix representing these institutions gains greater capacity to further collaborate and support innovation generated in the other helices, forming a continuous flow of innovation and mutual development. The knowledge economy and society are more closely associated with processes of change rather than stable organizational arrangements, thus, policymakers, scholars, and business leaders have shown greater interest in updating innovation organizations and improving innovation conditions. This has led to a transformation in the organizational arrangements within governments designed to help industrial innovation. Not only focused on individual technological innovations, but also more concerned with strengthening the relationship between universities and industries, and promoting the formation of new technology-based companies originating from universities. The triple helix theme is increasingly valued by universities, industries, and governments worldwide, all of whom hope to achieve development through innovation.
