“… 3 , 57 Research also indicates that there are so many causes of tension in the links between the university and the industry or employer of graduates. 57 , 58 For example, this kind of blame-shift could be due to mistrust or lack of open and effective communication among these stakeholders. The other possibility is that the tension could be due to lack of clarity among stakeholders on who ought to initiate engagement.…”

About half of the secondary school teachers in Malawi are professionally unqualified. Furthermore, the net enrolment of eligible pupils in secondary schools is at 36% per year. Hence, this study sought to establish factors affecting access to quality and relevant secondary education in Malawi with reference to coordination, collaboration, and feedback between secondary school teacher education institutions and the Ministry of Education. Officials from the Ministry of Education and secondary school teacher training colleges participated in the study. Findings suggest that there is weak collaboration, coordination, and feedback between teacher training institutions and the Ministry of Education which is affecting the quality and relevance of education in Malawi. The study has also established that the weak linkage has resulted into perceived mismatches between expectations of the ministry and those of the education institutions about the problem in question. Theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed in this article.

“…Data-driven visualizations and metrics provided a description of 'an ecosystem' in which companies, individuals, and financing organizations co-innovate to solve economic challenges (Smith and Leydesdorff 2011). As neither ranges nor benchmarks for relational indicators have been established, we discuss our findings in a relative sense, comparing metrics within Percent of nodes datasets across three metropolitan areas.…”

This paper provides an evidence-based approach to understanding the relationship infrastructure of spatially defined innovation ecosystems in three metropolitan areas. With the Triple Helix framework, the ecosystem perspective, and shared vision for transformation initiatives, we explore relationships as structure in the metropolitan areas of Austin, TX; Minneapolis, MN; and Paris, France. Network metrics are interpreted as indicators of relational capital; and network visualizations reveal distinct patterns of relational space that structure business ecosystems at the enterprise, growth, and startup levels in each geographic area. We illustrate that network metrics, relationship indicators, and their visualization can be valuable resources for quantitatively and qualitatively investigating and analyzing the complexities of engagement, agility, vitality, linking, and embeddedness in innovation ecosystems. We suggest that data-driven indicators of relational capital may be used for network orchestration, evidence-based policy, and the development of shared vision in spatially defined business ecosystems.Keywords: Ecosystem; Networks; Innovation; Business; Metropolitan; Relationships; Visualization Spanish: El capital relacional por una visión compartida en los ecosistemas de innovación. Resumen: Este artículo ofrece un enfoque basado en evidencias que permite comprender la infraestructura de relaciones en los ecosistemas de innovación de tres áreas metropolitanas. Empleando el marco de trabajo de Triple Hélice, la perspectiva de ecosistema y una visión compartida por iniciativas de transformación, exploramos las relaciones, entendidas como estructura, en las áreas metropolitanas de Austin (Texas, EE.UU.), Minneapolis (Minnesota, EE.UU.) y París (Francia). Los datos de red son interpretados como indicadores de capital relacional y las visualizaciones de red revelan patrones claros de espacio relacional que estructuran los ecosistemas de empresas, crecimiento y niveles de startup en cada área geográfica. Mostramos que las métricas de red, los indicadores de relación y sus visualizaciones pueden ser valiosos recursos a la hora de investigar y analizar tanto cuantitativa como cualitativamente la diversidad de compromiso, agilidad, vitalidad, conexión e implantación en los ecosistemas de innovación. Sugerimos que los indicadores de datos relacionados con el capital relacional pueden ser empleados para la orquestación de redes, políticas de evidencia y el desarrollo de visiones compartidas en ecosistemas empresariales delimitados espacialmente.

“…Second, the other emerged theme in the review on the TH‐based RIS literature illuminates the internationalization of the RIS in the interconnected global economy, specifically how the internationalization and international relations of a regional TH strengthen the RIS (Bunnell & Coe, 2001; Lew et al, 2018; Leydesdorff, 2012). Internationalization of innovation has transformed the TH innovation model in different degrees, depending on the openness of countries (Lawton Smith & Leydesdorff, 2014). Internationalization of a region also plays an important role in inducing innovation with ideas created from outside of the region, for example, inward and outward foreign direct investment and strategic partnerships between RISs.…”

This research examines the evolution of the study on triple helix (TH) approaches to the investigation of regional innovation systems (RISs). Prior studies on TH-based RISs have focused largely on complex interactions among innovation creating actors (i.e., university, industry, and government) and non-market institutions in various regional contexts. Although there are a growing number of TH-based RIS studies, they often ignore the evolutionary aspect of the RIS studies and implications for sustainability. Thus, herein we conduct a wide range of systematic literature review on the TH research in the RIS literature published from 1990 to 2017. The study identifies that the TH literature evolves into various N-helix models in particular, gravitating toward stakeholders, internationalization, specialization and ecological conservation, which offers various implications for sustainability in the regional development context. In the ages of globalization, digitalization, and socio-ecology, this study offers a comprehensive view on the TH research for sustainable development and suggests useful future research directions that academics and policymakers can benefit from.
