%0 Journal Article %J Technology Innovation Management Review %D 2019 %T Design Rules for ‘Triple Helix’ Organizations %A Ben Dankbaar %K design rules %K leadership %K motivation %K sanctions %K triple helix %X The image of the triple helix with three forces spiraling around each other has proven to be a powerful and inspiring image of the collaboration between government, business, and academia. The partners in such collaborative arrangements no doubt share an interest in making the collaboration successful. However, they also have specific interests and goals of their own. Too many triple helix arrangements have failed, because they did not consider this basic fact. Achieving their own goals is not necessarily the intention with which partners enter the collaborative effort, but they may well end up following this strategy. We start this paper with a brief description of what can be considered a typical case of ‘successful failure’ in a triple helix organization. We then review the literature regarding reasons for success or failure of triple helix organizations. We find that transparency and credible sanctions for self-interested behaviour are important requirements for successful triple helix arrangements. We then use notions from cybernetics and organizational design to develop basic rules for the design of triple helix arrangements. Basically, these rules and arrangements aim to ensure that self-interest and common purpose will concur. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 54-63 %8 11/2019 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1283 %N 11 %1

The objective of a business school serving as an entrepreneurial ecosystem hub, is to stimulate economic development, generate employment, and create innovative technology-based ventures or service businesses. These components are discussed from theoretical and practical viewpoints in order to provide greater understanding of the concepts. An insider action research assessment of the university-affiliated business school was conducted to gauge the progress made in building an embryonic entrepreneurial ecosystem centered upon a business school as a hub. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop strong collaboration among key stakeholders for achieving success in building an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem based on a quadruple helix system, consistent with the lead-in quotation to the article. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 9 %P 15-25 %8 11/2019 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1280 %N 11 %1

Treating each region and place as equal and prescribing blanket policy is anathema to the reality. Having argued that places are not equivalent, we then move on to highlight that commonalities at a deeper institutional level are possible. We draw on fieldwork and ongoing action research from the Australian regions of Hunter and Central Coast (New South Wales) and Northern Tasmania. Results of the theory and case work have been instrumental in the development of 11 structural attributes of a regional innovation management (RIM) sandpit framework. The framework provides attributes but also important process insights related to regional programs, enterprise development, and project innovations. Although developing from the Australian context, we expect that the RIM Sandpit and its place-based insights can be generalized to other regions around the world. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 6 %P 11-23 %8 06/2016 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/993 %N 6 %1 University of Newcastle Anton Kriz is Senior Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, Australia, where he is a specialist in innovation management and strategy.

This article outlines and evaluates the current implementation of this concept at the universities of technology (TU) in Austria. First, to evaluate the status quo, a review of existing programs and initiatives was undertaken at the three universities comprising the "TU Austria": TU Graz, TU Wien (Vienna), and MU Leoben. Second, a questionnaire was designed on the basis of the HEInnovate framework and sent to representatives of the three universities and resulted in responses from TU Graz and TU Wien. The results underscore that the model of the entrepreneurial university represents the next step of development in higher education. Moreover, it demonstrates that there is still room for improvement at the TU Austria, especially in terms of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit among students. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 6 %P 37-44 %8 10/2016 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1026 %N 10 %1 Graz University of Technology Martin Sperrer is a graduate student in Production Science and Management at the Nanyang Technology University in Singapore and Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in Austria.

We argue that it is the active orchestration of the regional ecosystem around concepts such as knowledge co-creation and exploitation, opportunity exploration, and capacity building. Simply adding to the proliferation of software developers in the area, stimulating the activities of business clusters around information technology, and providing digitally enabled services for citizens is not enough to make a region smarter. Smartness is enhanced by a well-orchestrated regional innovation ecosystem with a strong "smart specialization strategy" that leverages the new societal roles played by universities. In this article, we describe the European Commission’s program for research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) and show how the Helsinki Region in Finland is using smart specialization, ecosystem orchestration, and the active role of universities to enhance regional innovation and the "smartness" of the region. These activities are discussed in the context of policy documents and strategy papers from regional, national, and European authorities, which illustrates some differences between papers and practice. This is work in progress, and based on early results, we draw initial conclusions about how putting policy into practice can make smart regions smarter. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 7-15 %8 10/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/932 %N 10 %1 European Union Committee of the Regions Markku Markkula is the President of the European Union Committee of the Regions (CoR), where he has been a member since 2010 and Rapporteur on several opinions related to topics such as Europe 2020, digitalization, single markets, as well as research and innovation.
