“…From the first seminal papers in 1996 and 1997, a dynamic research field has emerged (see for example Fritsch and Schwirten 1999;Linderlöf and Löfsten 2004) expanding both its geographical reach and the range of sub-topics covered by Triple Helix analysis. At the heart of the model is the key proposition that innovation springs from the "generative relationships" (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff 1997) created between agents and the transformations that ensue for both actors within the relationships and in the relationships themselves.…”

“…The research literature on the role of universities in the innovation system is extensive and includes detailed studies on knowledge transfer and collaboration (Bercovitz and Feldman 2006) and models of innovation and their key relationships (Dodgson, Gann et al 2005), but, so far the research has concentrated on specific -mostly science and technology -disciplinary boundaries of university interaction with policy initiatives and the economy (Linderlöf and Löfsten 2004).…”

The Triple Helix model of knowledge-industry-government relationships is one of the most comprehensive attempts to explain the changing institutional frameworks for innovation and growth, especially in the regional and urban contexts. Since the 1970s policies have been developed across Europe to evolve this institutional landscape. Since the late 1990s, regional and urban development strategies have also sought to harness the growth potential of the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to regional and urban economic development. However, whilst the regional and urban planning literature has examined the growth-promoting potential of universities very closely, their possible role in relation to regional and urban creative economic development has received less attention. This paper aims to begin addressing this gap by interrogating the relationship between universities and the regional creative economy using, as a starting point, a model of analysis suggested by the Triple Helix theoretical framework. The paper finds that whilst universities possess often long and hidden associations with regional and urban creative activitiesas hidden protagonists -there are important institutional and professional challenges in the possibility of their developing an explicit and sustainable role as new actors in the regional and urban creative economies. The paper identifies the nature of these challenges with a view to developing a clearer understanding of the system, policy and institutional realities that underpin the often complex dynamics of knowledge creation-practice relationships found in arts and humanities disciplines.

“…As shown by GREIF et al (2006), those are highly correlated (r0.9561) with industrial R&D-spending at the level of administrative regions. Regional R&D-spending has been found to be a relevant measure of regional innovative competitiveness (FELDMAN et al, 2002;LINDELÖF and LÖFSTEN, 2004;LINK and SIEGEL, 2005). Empirical evidence suggests that technology entrepreneurs interact creatively and thus prefer to be located in a region in which entrepreneurs are concentrated.…”

This study examines the impact of regional competitiveness on the innovative activity of entrepreneurial firms. Based on a unique and hand collected data set of publicly listed high technology start-ups and university regions, this paper tests how regional competitiveness and university spillovers affect the innovation behaviour of entrepreneurial firms. The results provide strong evidence that regional competitiveness and university spillovers are strong complements in fostering innovation activity of entrepreneurial firms. However, the results also raise the question whether incentives for universities and their actors might lead to crowding out effects. Terms of use: Documents in

“…Selain itu, Elmuti et al (2005) menyatakan bahwa daya saing perguruan tinggi dapat ditingkatkan melalui strategi aliansi antara perguruan tinggi dengan perusahaan. Hal yang sama seperti yang diungkapan oleh Lindelof & Lofsten (2004) yang menyatakan kerja sama antara perusahaan dengan perguruan tinggi melalui konsep New Technology Based Firms (NTBF) akan mampu memberikan daya saing bagi keduanya. Sedangkan Ham & Hayduk (2003) menyatakan bahwa daya saing perguruan tinggi dapat dilakukan melalui penekanan gap antara harapan dan persepsi atas kualitas pelayanan.…”

“…Menurut Lindelof & Lofsten (2004), dalam mengkaji konsep daya saing tidak terlepas dengan konsep strategi, karena strategi mengandung pengertian peningkatan daya saing (melalui pengembangan produk, kompetisi harga, pengembangan teknologi, menganalisis perilaku pesaing dan lainya) yang dilakukan melalui positioning analysis dimana bisnis perusahaan akan dijalankan, di wilayah mana persaingan, dan melakukan resource base-analisys bagaimana perusahaan akan bersaing. Daya saing (competitive advantage) didefinisikan oleh Grant (1991) sebagai hasil atas pemahaman secara menyeluruh dari aspek eskternal dan internal yang memberikan pengaruh kuat terhadap perusahaan.…”
