Firm innovation benefits from regional triple-helix networks
通过纵向案例和问卷调查，发现企业参与区域三螺旋网络的主要好处是增加知识获取和提升应对挑战的能力，网络成功的关键在于有专职经理和共同活动。
This study investigates the value of constructed regional triple-helix networks for participating firms. Although participation in such networks is encouraged, the documentation of firm benefits is limited. The results from this longitudinal case study and survey study indicate that the primary benefits from network participation are increased access to knowledge and improved ability to meet challenges. Important characteristics of well-functioning networks are having a committed manager and common activities that build relationships. Lack of resources dedicated to networking limit a firm’s outcome, while participating in joint projects enhances it. The study contributes to the literature on network benefits and regional innovation policies.
