Systems of Innovation: Perspectives and Challenges

Inclusive innovation in the bioeconomy: concepts and directions for research

“…Attending to the phronesis element may suggest directions for a DUI approach to innovation. More specifically, these directions concern whether DUI be pursued by way of 'triple', 'quadruple', 'quintuple', or 'n-tuple' helix forms of innovation systems (see Etzkowitz 1993;Edquist 2004;Carayannis and Campbell 2010). Each point in a helix can be characterized as bringing a different form of knowledge, and a different value system, to the learning and innovation system.…”

“…Each point in a helix can be characterized as bringing a different form of knowledge, and a different value system, to the learning and innovation system. Whereas the much-used triple helix approach prescribes innovation through government -science -business cooperation (Etzkowitz 1993;Edquist 2004), the version of the quintuple helix proposed by Refsgaard et al in this volume, additionally emphasizes the roles of local authorities and civil society. 4 It is through the involvement of authorities and citizens that the ethical values protecting interests of future generations and the underprivileged enters the innovation system and, thereby, increase the capacity of this system to make innovation inclusive.…”

“…The proposition for a quintuple helix approach may raise controversy (see Etzkowitz 1993;Edquist 2004;Carayannis and Campbell 2010;Leydesdorff 2012). 5 However, we think that the traditional 'triple' helix -focusing on firms, academia, and governmentpotentially overlooks the legitimizing role of civil society (e.g.…”

Technological dynamics and social capability: US states and European nations

“…The term innovation system is often used to characterize the web of institutions, networks and organizations that support and facilitate firm-level innovation [see Edquist (2004) for a survey]. Such systems can be found at different levels, such as the national 2 (Lundvall, 1992;Nelson, 1993), regional (Braczyk et al, 1998) or sectoral (Malerba, 2004).…”

The problem of private under-investment in innovation: A policy mind map

“…The literature on National Systems of Innovation (NSIs) regularly stresses the importance of mature and welldeveloped capital markets for the allocation of financial resources to innovatin activities. To give a few examples, Edquist (2005) and O'Sullivan (2005) offer comprehensive general surveys, while Chang and Shih (2004) compare the distinct systems of China and Taiwan, or Marsh (2003) investigates the particular case of the biotech industry in New Zealand.…”
