“…This refers to demand-driven knowledge that is co-produced and valorised to enhance both economic-and societal-oriented innovation, next to traditional forms of knowledge production such as curiosity-driven academic research or dissemination through education and advice. Critics argue that theories on transdisciplinary knowledge co-production need more empirical support (Hicks and Kats, 1996;Weingart, 1997;Godin, 1998, all cited by Hessels and Lente, 2008;Shinn, 2002). This paper provides more insight into the cooperation between different actors in TH networks, by studying the seven knowledge and innovation programmes in the Greenport regions.…”

“…It has been understood that the ideal Triple Helix model has been advanced from the Western experience of economics, and it is called "ideal" as it has been proven by a number of empirical cases in Western societies that the overlapping and interdependency between the three sectors provides favorable conditions for innovation. The ideal model was initially developed and has been institutionalized in Western societies, thus the institutional logics that facilitate the institutionalization process are Western-oriented [49,[76][77][78]. When the ideal Western Triple Helix model is applied in China's innovation system, a non-Western context, the logics associated with the ideal model are likely to be imported as well [50].…”

This paper examines the role of joint R&D institutes co-established by Chinese research universities and international enterprises. Guided by an analytical framework of institutional logics in the evolution of the Triple Helix model, this study aims to explore the institutionalization process of a joint R&D institute in the contexts of global and Chinese innovation systems; further, it analyzes which mingling institutional logics, respectively carried by a Chinese research university and an international enterprise, affect the collaboration between both parties moving from informal R&D collaboration toward an institutionalized organization. The case study method enabled the author to understand the complexity of the interlacing of international and national actors with regards to the joint R&D institutes. The contribution of the study to the existing literature is two-fold: on the conceptual front, it advances theoretical understandings of the interactions of institutional logics which result in varied patterns of joint R&D institute in a national context with transnational factors; on the empirical front, it examines the evolutionary path of a joint R&D institute established by a Chinese research university and an international enterprise.Sustainability 2019, 11, 7133 2 of 25 in research, (2) exhibition of organizational formality, and (3) promotion of organizational and cross-sector collaboration and transfer. In this study, the above-mentioned "larger organization" refers to the joint R&D institute's affiliated university. The joint R&D institutes' mandates, operations and activities reflect the interests of both their affiliated universities and their external international sponsors. Moreover, their organizational formalities are more flexible than departmental structures and can be adjusted to increase the universities' adaptations and responsiveness to the demands of the external community [11,12].Since the mid-1990s, when an increasing number of international enterprises started to move better paid and more brain-intensive labor to China, Chinese research universities have become the primary R&D partners for these enterprises [13][14][15], and joint R&D institutes have become one of their most important forms of partnership [16][17][18][19]. As of 2016, international enterprises had established more than 1800 R&D institutes in China [20]. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education of China, the key universities directly under the supervision of the Ministry of Education have close collaborations with more than 1100 enterprises from more than 100 countries around the world [21].What, then, are the attractions of China, and the Chinese research universities, for those international enterprises? Wang et al. [22] perceived R&D cooperation as a kind of transaction. The major incentives for international enterprises are pressure from market competition and cost saving. Universities provide knowledge and cultural products as well as human resources to enterprises, while enterprises can supply universi...

“…In contrast to the NIS concept, these perspectives have been debated and discussed broadly in S&TS (see, for example, Hicks and Katz 1996;Godin and Gingras 2000;Ziman 2000;Cohen et al 2001;Jansen 2002;Shinn 2002;Pestre 2003 concept's political rhetoric-is not the objective of this paper. Albert and Laberge (2004) use a largely ethnographic lens through which to study how international organizations (in particular, the OECD) and regional public administrations (in their case, that of the province of Québec, Canada) apply NIS legitimation and dissemination processes.…”

Emergence and development of the National Innovation Systems concept

Adopting a science and technology studies (S&TS) perspective and organized around eight major themes, this paper analyzes the development of the National Innovation Systems (NIS) concept, examining how the formal body of codified NIS knowledge was produced, developed and spread, and how it is used. In order to trace its history, I interviewed major advocates of the NIS concept to understand how and why it has become so widespread in academic and policymaking circles. The eight themes serve as 'missing pieces' to explain the early history of the NIS concept.
