Triple Helix influence on competitiveness factors: Comparison between wine clusters in Brazil and Chile

Abstract

The performance of clusters has been linked in several studies to their historical and geographical contexts as well as to the drivers that shape the competitive strength of nations. Among these drivers, the human factor and universities play a key role in the competitiveness of nations, as well as that of industries, regions, and firms. In the new knowledge economy, the Triple Helix model is a mechanism of coordination that brings together government, industry and universities.

Participação ativa e desempenho em redes de turismo rural na agricultura familiar

“…Esta pesquisa é justificada pela relevância do tema sobre desempenho de empresas em rede e clusters, incluindo as redes agrícolas (Armando, Boaventura, Todeva & Pereira, 2017;Trejo-Pech, Arellano-Sada & Weldon, 2012;Sandt, Low & Thilmany, 2018). Justifica-se também pela contribuição gerencial pretendida.…”

Description and assessment of a collaborative agricultural extension program adopted under the triple helix model of innovation

“…The authors conclude that differing visions and objectives between organizations limit cooperation, while "social proximity," i.e., social relationships on a microscale level, facilitates it. Armando et al (2017) applied the THM to analyze competitiveness factors of the Chilean wine cluster in Maule Valley. The authors show that both academia and government are decisive in cluster competitiveness, especially in supporting its evolutionary character through the introduction of new technology.…”
