Abstract
Triple Helix theory is to analyze the function and interactions of academia, industry and government in regional innovation systems. The cases of Silicon Valley, Boston, Cambridge and Scania in Sweden all provide empirical studies for understanding the effects of the triple helix model in improvement of absorption ability and industrial clusters. But some scholars also argue that the Triple Helix model cannot be fully applicable in developing countries with different contexts like institutions, infrastructures, and economic growth, especially for China, a country with disparity of regional socioeconomic conditions. The current research on the regional innovation systems of China focus on R&D input-output relationship, the effects of FDI on... (More)
Triple Helix theory is to analyze the function and interactions of academia, industry and government in regional innovation systems. The cases of Silicon Valley, Boston, Cambridge and Scania in Sweden all provide empirical studies for understanding the effects of the triple helix model in improvement of absorption ability and industrial clusters. But some scholars also argue that the Triple Helix model cannot be fully applicable in developing countries with different contexts like institutions, infrastructures, and economic growth, especially for China, a country with disparity of regional socioeconomic conditions. The current research on the regional innovation systems of China focus on R&D input-output relationship, the effects of FDI on knowledge spillover, the relationship between university and government, while few analyses demonstrate the impacts of the central and regional governments on the behaviors of other actors through a systematic analysis of the innovation policies in the specific regional contexts. This paper is to use the Triple Helix theory to analyze the roles and relationship of actors in regional innovation systems of Shanghai and Shenzhen, two cities with distinct socioeconomic contexts, in order to explore how the government creates a favorable regional innovation environment under the specific circumstances.
