“…In addition to cooperation between military entities and the business community, the production of knowledge in universities opens doors to other innovation and technological development (I&DT) projects, scientific production Rana 2019, 2020), and the development of patents (Ayerbe et al 2014). The argument above aligns with Simões et al (2020) article, who analysed 145 projects of the Portuguese Ministry of Defence and found that academia represented more than 90% of the projects, 40% of those have a dual-use application. The defence industry also has some specificities when compared to the civil industrial sector, mainly regarding strategic alliances.…”

“…This article builds upon the existing theory (Simões et al 2020), seeking to explore the defence industry in what is known as the quintuple helix innovation model. Thus, this article goes beyond the recent findings of Reis (2021) that suggest a possible existence of quadruple helix within the scope of the defence industry.…”

“…Similar research was conducted in Portugal with a paper that analyses the relationship (i.e. TH) within the defence industry to determine how the university-government-industry relationship works (Simões et al 2020). The few existing studies analyse the adoption of the TH model and OI by the defence industry, but none have studied other recent typologies.…”

Defence industries and open innovation: ways to increase military capabilities of the Portuguese ground forces

The European Defence Industry is undergoing profound changes. Industrial activity is now operating on a quintuple helix innovation model with the deep involvement of universities and governments in innovation. In addition, military innovations are being transferred to civil society, with increasing attention paid to the environment. In the first stage, we report on the state-of-the-art of existing research using PRISMA protocol. The PRISMA technique is widely accepted by the academic community for its ability to discover concepts, ideas, and debates about the defence industry. In the second stage, we present a case study involving the Portuguese Defence Industry, for which multiple data collection sources were used to ensure triangulation and corroboration. The results show that, in the light of the quintuple helix innovation model, it was possible to bring applications from theoretical discussion to real life. Moreover, within the scope of the triple helix, it was possible to develop, produce and test military products, allowing to improve the military capacity of ground forces. In the future, ecological concerns will likely increase, so we suggest a greater focus on this area of research.

“…The first stage was qualitative, exploratory research based upon semi-structured interviews, followed by quantitative research using a questionnaire (S1 File) in the second stage. The questionnaire asked about the changes that would be necessary for the companies' quality systems to enhance multigenerational learning and knowledge preservation [46,47].…”

Knowledge management is a multifaceted, complex, end-to-end organizational process dealing with collecting and using data, information, and knowledge generated by a group of individuals. The current study examines the changes required in companies’ quality systems to enhance intergenerational learning and knowledge retention. Our primary objective was to understand the factors that influence the development of an organizational culture encouraging innovation, knowledge sharing, organizational learning, openness, and providing opportunities to create up-to-date knowledge. We collected the viewpoints and needs of industry professionals by using interviews and a survey. Then, we analyzed the factors that influence knowledge management quality and transfer between workforce generations. The professionals’ primary goal is to introduce, integrate, and improve knowledge in their organization. Their second goal is to facilitate knowledge sharing and transfer between workforce generations. Improving transgenerational knowledge sharing and reducing the loss of knowledge are challenges for all industries. A cutting-edge industry such as the defense field deals with sensitive data, and knowledge management is a strategic need in a competitive context. Quality management standards propose guidelines for developing and enhancing the overall knowledge-related processes. However, implementing them requires a shift in the corporate culture team. Organizational knowledge resilience must be developed by involving the workforce in implementing knowledge management systems.

“…Departing from the Triple Helix adaptability and the perspective that the model will adjust to societal changes (theories and perspectives established in previous sections) in Chapter 5 we engage with the discussions promoted by Amaral and Cai (2022) on the relations between the different Helix models to establish that of a couple of academic publications giving attention to relations within the boundaries of the institutional spheres (Lee and Kim, 2016;Simões, Moreira, and Mendes Dias, 2020) were not adequately addressed in the existing Triple Helix conceptual framework. Identifying this situation as the focal point of departure (Jaakkola, 2020) the conceptual argument develops using a multidisciplinary approach leverage in kinematics, and Triple Helix adaptability, to propose taking advantage of different reference frameworks (scopes) to expand and enhance the Triple Helix model into an endless perspective.…”

The “Endless Perspective” to University – Industry – Government Relations

Since the emergence of the Triple Helix, expansions to Quadruple, Quintuple, N-tuple helices, and models decomposing higher-order helices into multiple interrelated triple helices, or two-layer triple helices have been proposed. Albeit presenting alternative conceptual frameworks these different Helix models seem unsuited to address internal boundaries to the institutional spheres of the university, industry, and government. Addressing this circumstance, the present article pursues the research purpose of conceptualizing a perspective that opens the possibility of analysis to occur between but also within the boundaries of the institutional spheres. To that effect it advocates the application of different reference frames (scopes) to capture the dynamics that empirically emerge from the system under research. The novelty of this study is that it expands the existing theory by proposing that adding “scopes” (instead of introducing new helices) can increase the analytical potential of the Triple Helix.
