“…(4) Netherland's economy is developed with knowledge-based services; however, high-tech services remained low in terms of the number of companies. Strand et al (2015), in a section of their research, divided synergies among the triple helix relations and analyzed these divisions in regions of Norway.…”

In recent decades, many efforts have been put into understanding and determining key variables and factors affecting knowledge-based economy. Triple Helix model is a model with relative success in this regard; however, there is still a long way to go until it can provide policy makers and researchers with an inclusive and deep insight. Researchers of the current study strived to distinguish one of the main theoretical shortcomings of the model, i.e., considering reward systems reformation firmly fixed in the institutional framework of society, while introducing an overview of the Triple Helix model and its underlying logic using a descriptive-analytical method based upon theoretical framework of new institutionalism. This paper aims to highlight that, in the developing countries' path toward a knowledge-based economy, reward systems reformation plays a key role and it is worth to be considered in models of determining the knowledge-based economy, the Triple Helix model, in particular.

“…Nordberg () states that the smart specialization guide involves implementing innovation systems as a collective endeavor based on the quadruple helix concept. So far, however, most research on RISs has focused on key actors in the regions, often taking a triple helix approach which emphasizes the roles of (1) academia, (2) regional government, and (3) industry and their joint collaborations (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, ; Dzisah and Etzkowitz, ; Ranga and Etzkowitz, ; Strand et al, ). Even though the triple helix theory has been used for two decades for analyzing innovation and innovation policy (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, ), it has also been criticized for not producing expected results (Miller et al, ).…”

This article explores Robotdalen, a smart specialization initiative in the region of Mälardalen, Sweden, and its impact on regional innovation systems (RIS). The Robotdalen initiative, with the goal to create a regional center for robotics, was established based on the triple helix innovation systems model of industry, university, and government interaction. This paper aims to understand the dynamic interactions of the smart specialization strategy in relation to the RIS. It also includes the perspective of the fourth helix, which contains civil society and users. To date, there has been a scarcity of research which explores the challenges of quadruple helix models from a micro perspective to understand their complexity. To address this, a single case study approach is taken, which includes a longitudinal perspective of 10 years (2007–2016). The analysis includes micro activities explored from a strategizing perspective. The research contributes by identifying three strategic practices that have evolved over time for Robotdalen. It also presents an empirical operationalization of the fourth helix, as well discusses the arrival of the fourth helix perspective.

“…The appearance of many oscillatory modes indicates a more complex and self-organized TH structure than was traditionally thought. For example, Norway's national innovation system can be presented as a geographically distributed network with nodes relating to corresponding regions and one should account for innovation systems at scales other than the national [Strand et al, 2016]. The synergy value is a monotonic function of frequency.…”

T he innovation capacity of a system can be measured as the synergy in interactions among its parts. Synergy can be considered as a consequence of negative entropies among three parts of the system. We analyze the development of synergy value in the Norwegian innovation system in terms of mutual information among geographical, sectorial, and size distributions of firms. We use three different techniques for the evaluation of the evolution of synergy over time: rescaled range analysis, DFT, and Кeywords: Triple Helix; knowledge base; innovations; synergy; cycles; regional innovation system; regions of Norway.geographical synergy decomposition. The data was provided by Statistics Norway for all Norwegian firms registered in the database between 2002 and 2014. The results suggest that the synergy at the level of both the country and its seven regions show non-chaotic oscillatory behavior which resonates in a set of natural frequencies. The finding of a set of frequencies implies a complex Triple-Helix structure, composed of many elementary triple helices, which can be theorized in terms of a fractal TH manifold.
