Measuring the knowledge base of an economy in terms of triple-helix relations among 'technology, organization, and territory'

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine the perspective of regional economics on the interrelationships among technology, organization, and territory with the triple-helix model, and offer the mutual information in three dimensions as an indicator of the configuration.

Knowledge transfer in university–industry research partnerships: a review

Abstract: This paper identifies practices that can facilitate knowledge transfer in university–industry (U–I) research partnerships by systematically reviewing extant literature. We aim to contribute to the theoretical development in the field of academic engagement and propose that knowledge transfer provides a valuable perspective. We started our review with identifying barriers and facilitators of knowledge transfer. Extant literature identified knowledge differences and differences in goals resulting from different institutional cultures as important barriers to knowledge transfer. They result in ambiguity, problems with knowledge absorption and difficulties with the application of knowledge. Trust, communication, the use of intermediaries and experience are found as facilitators for knowledge transfer that help to resolve the identified barriers. Our analysis offers practical advice for the management of academic engagement. Finally, we identified questions for future research based on inconsistencies in extant research and open questions we encountered during our analysis.

Technology-push, demand-pull and the shaping of technological paradigms - Patterns in the development of computing technology

TL;DR: In this paper, a distinction can be made between periods in which either demand or knowledge development played the bigger role in shaping the technological paradigms of computing technology. But, this view needs to be qualified and modified.

Lock-in and break-out from technological trajectories: Modeling and policy implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the circumstances under which technological development may break-out of a lock-in of a trajectory, and argue that for this to happen, a third selection mechanism, beyond those of the market and of technology, needs to upset the lockin.
