“…Previous studies have shown N-Helix models’ evolution by collaborating with governments, universities, industries, and society to respond to specific needs (Fischer et al, 2018 , 2019; Kobarg et al, 2018 ; Lew et al, 2018 ). In this vein, we have observed dual-helix partnerships (university-industry promoted by the public incentives), triple-helix partnership (university-industry-government), and the quadruple-helix partnership (university-industry-government-society) (Baier-Fuentes et al, 2021 ; Demircioglu & Audretsch, 2019 ; Dooley & Kirk, 2007 ; McAdam & Debackere, 2018 ). Individually, the government prioritizes sustained structural changes; the university focuses on the generation and transference of knowledge; the industry looks for developing competitive advantages; and social groups look for supporting vulnerable populations (Bărbulescu & Constantin, 2019 ; Guerrero & Urbano, 2020 ).…”

“…Previous studies have recognized the positive effect of N-Helix collaborations (e.g., industry, government, university, non-profit organizations, civil society) on multiple stakeholders’ needs satisfaction (Carayannis & Campbell, 2010 ; Fischer et al, 2020 ; Blair-Fuentes et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, the literature has also recognized many challenges in the configuration of N-Helix collaborations, such as response-times, bureaucracy, exclusion feelings, ethical dilemma, and intellectual property (Brannback et al, 2008 ; Goyal et al, 2016 ; Kraus et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Third, the variable digital social entrepreneurship is a binary variable that captures value one when the app was created for social purposes (satisfy the COVID-19 needs) and zero when the app was created for commercial purposes (Battisti, 2019;Ghatak et al, 2020;Luke & Chu, 2013;Short et al, 2009). Fourth, the N-Helix is a count variable that indicates how many stakeholders participate in developing the app for social purposes (e.g., government, university, industry, non-profit organizations) (Baier-Fuentes et al, 2021;Guerrero, et al, 2020a;Guerrero, et al, 2020b;Lazzarotti & Manzini, 2009;Santos & Mendonça, 2017).…”

This study explores the emergence of a new entrepreneurship phenomenon (digital social entrepreneurship) as a result of the collaboration among many agents (N-Helix), given the government’s limited capacity to respond to the stakeholders’ needs satisfaction related to an exogenous event (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic). Our theory development is based on three ongoing academic debates related to (a) the unrepresentativeness of the stakeholder theory in entrepreneurship research; (b) the emergence of digital social entrepreneurship (DSE) as a bridge between stakeholders’ needs, socio-economic actors, and digital-social initiatives; and (c) the role of N-Helix collaborations to facilitate the emergence of global knowledge-intensive initiatives and the rapid adoptions of open innovations. Our results support our assumptions about the positive mediation effect of DSE in the relationship between N-Helix collaborations and stakeholders’ satisfaction. Notably, results show how pandemic has intensified these relationships and how DSE in N-Helix collaborations can generate social impacts globally. Some implications for policy-makers have emerged from our results that should be considered during/post-COVID-19 pandemic.

“…In recent years, economic organisations have been affiliated with contractual agreements through collaborative networks. These agreements have become more critical in emerging markets and economies (Baier-Fuentes et al, 2021). Collaboration networks present an opportunity in which business partners can develop short or long-term collaboration to achieve personal and mutual goals (Ramayah et al, 2011).…”

PurposeThis paper proposes a multi-layer hybrid decision-making approach to evaluate the capability alternatives for developing a collaborative network to operate in the international market.Design/methodology/approachThe present study is contextualised in the Iranian pistachio export industry. An extensive review of the state-of-the-art literature on supplier collaboration was conducted to identify key capabilities that are essential to establish a collaborative network. The set of defined capabilities were then optimised through interviews with 14 experts from the relevant industry, academics and export authorities. A combination of the fuzzy Delphi method and the best–worst method (BWM) approach was, respectively, used to reduce the number of capability alternatives and assign priority weights to these alternatives. Subsequently, a weighted aggregated sum product assessment method (WASPAS) was employed to rank and evaluate the ability to creating a collaborative network for the export of pistachio.FindingsFrom the extant literature review, 18 capabilities for the formation of coordination networks in the international markets were identified. Then, the prominent indicators in forming a global network were extracted. After ranking the top pistachio export countries/regions to formalise an efficient collaborative network, it was revealed that although Iran exports approximately 30% of the global market, it falls behind the USA and European Union. The competitors have scored higher in critical criteria, including “trust and commitment”, “strategy and management”, “managerial control and standardization” and “financial resources”.Originality/valueThe proposed hybrid approach encompassing fuzzy Delphi–BWM–WASPAS offers to solve the capability evaluation and selection as well as ranking the possible alternative to formalise a collaborative network in an integrated fashion. This combination of methods is capable to first identify the most important factors, then measuring their importance and eventually rank the possible alternatives. The suggested framework provides an approach to deal with the uncertainty of global collaborative network formation.

“…Many previous studies that analyzed the triple helix have focused on analyzing the status of the innovation system from a macroscopic [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] or microscopic perspective [6,[26][27][28][29][30]. However, while many of the previous studies have conducted qualitative analysis of the effectiveness of the innovation system, empirical analysis on it is lacking.…”

In recent years, innovation of alternative energy technologies to manage climate change has become an important goal worldwide. South Korea has been focusing on the innovation of alternative energy technologies through its investments and innovation systematic capabilities. This study quantitatively examines the effect of national innovation systems that are designed to improve the performance of innovation. To do so, this study analyzes the effects of financial support from the national research and development (R&D) project, and collaborations between institutions regarding the national innovation systems on patent performance based on citation count, which is a useful indicator of patent quality. Specifically, this study analyzes the effects of financial support from the national R&D project, as well as collaborations between universities, industries, and the government regarding patent performance using the patent data of South Korea. These data were used in congruence with a hurdle negative binomial model, using data from 2010 to 2017. Consequently, this study establishes that financial supports from national R&D project are generally inefficient. The relational aspects of the South Korean innovation systems are also generally inefficient, while collaborations between universities and industries contribute toward improving the performance of alternative energy patents.
