Introductory Paper

This paper introduces the rationale for the special issue and its contributions, which bridge the literature on regional development and the Triple Helix model. The concept of the Triple Helix at the sub-national, and specifically regional, level is established and examined, with special regard to regional economic development founded on innovation and research activities. The discussion on regional competitiveness lays the foundations for the exploration of contrasting environments, sectors and administrations. The authors offer a framework that captures the array of institutions, driving factors, players and powers active at the regional level. This introductory paper presents and summarizes the articles that follow, emphasizing their contribution to the literature. It shows how the various contributions exploit the Triple Helix model to analyse policy delivery at a regional level, and describes how other models and characterizations of interactions and collaborations between institutions are being associated with the Triple Helix concept, highlighting both their shortcomings and the way they enrich its application.

The Impact

This conceptual paper contributes to the discussion of the role of regional government and regional Triple Helix constellations driving economic development and growth within regional boundaries. The impact of regionalism and subsidiarity on regional Triple Helix constellations, and the questions of governmentality, governance and institutional development at the regional level, were investigated. It is emphasized that the position of regional authorities in the structure of government and policy boundaries is best implemented at the regional level (the principles of regionalism and subsidiarity), and that localized policy practices represent a more precise view of government–industry– university interactions (the principle of governmentality). In addition, the regional Triple Helix context as a prerequisite for stakeholder engagement, enhancing innovation capabilities and entrepreneurial behaviour, was studied. The paper identifies the drivers behind regional competitiveness and economic development and investigates the positive externalities from strong Triple Helix constellations, as well as the impact of government support and institutionalized cooperation on value creation and value capture at the level of the locale. The paper offers a stylized model of the conditions for value creation and value capture, and presents a critical overview of the debates about the rationale for regional governments. Examples are drawn from Scotland, England and other, comparable parts of Europe.

Triple Helix Model

The industry–university collaboration has been emphasized for innovation and economic development in the Triple Helix Model. To facilitate this collaboration often necessitates implementing interfaces between stakeholders. EGEVASYON, an industry-driven platform coined from the combination of innovation and Ege for the Aegean Region of Turkey, has been proposed to foster collaboration by involving researchers in industry projects. Moreover, the platform has a portal project under development, where researchers can receive recommendations among ongoing projects. Our study presents the use of Jaccard similarity measure in this recommendation model. Moreover, recommendation selection is demonstrated using a sample dataset of EU projects.

Author analyzes scientific experience and literature in the field of assessing regional economy and regional development. In this research, the author tries to explore relation between state intervention and investment attractiveness of regions. The author proposes a new Regional Investment Index, which is an instrument for measuring business environment improvement and increase in investment attractiveness. This new Regional Investment Index is an instrument that can be used not only for analysis of economic indicators, but also for improvement of state policy at the regional level. The author develops Regional investment index in order to manage regional development and direction of investment processes. Regional investment index allows for a potential comparison of municipalities by combining different approaches and dimensions and thus becoming unique. The Russian index differs of the Regional investment index because the group of determinants is structured into two indexes. On the other hand, the Asian indexes are ones which are combined and refined in Regional investment index. The new Regional investment index is sophisticated, more flexible, comprehensive and gives more opportunities for comparison at the level of local authorities and territories.

The article develops concept of strategic management as a system of actions necessary to achieve the goals, often in conditions of limited resources. The terms strategy, economic strategy and strategic management of economic security of regions are considered as a specific strategic action plan aimed at developing the economy of the regions, which, in turn, is manifested in the development of social, cultural and other areas of activity of the regions. The principles of strategic management of economic security of regions are characterized: systemic - strategic management should take into account all components of the region’s economy as a system, be aimed at different areas of economic security of both subjects and objects of economic development of regions, strategic measures should be systemic related economic security management processes; regularities - to take into account the regularities of regional development and to have institutional support; planning and continuity - strategic management should be continuous, the directions of economic security should not contradict and agree with each other, be reflected in regional integrated programs; Interactions - measures should be aimed at ensuring the security of regional development and be accompanied by coordinated actions of all participants in this process, including by bringing information to the subjects of strategic management measures. It is noted that the features of strategic management of economic security at the regional level in relation to the national, they include: - the close proximity of diversified regional producers who are able to respond quickly to changes in effective demand; - availability of local labor funds with a concentration of specific skills; - involvement of regional actors in transnational networks; - development of industrial and social regional infrastructure that contributes to economic security. The determinants of the meso-level are substantiated, according to the territorial aspect the following characteristics of the regions should be attributed: - resource provision and potential opportunities of the regions; - regional features; - development of regional infrastructure; - attractiveness of the region (regional level of employment and unemployment; standard of living in the region; investment attractiveness; availability of natural and other resources; branched transport infrastructure). The main obstacles to effective strategic management of economic security of the regions are revealed: distrust of business entities in the methods of public administration and reform of economic relations, administrative barriers and corruption component of economic activity, etc. However, the introduction and implementation of strategic management of economic security of regions in terms of decentralization of management form a competitive business environment, ensure economic development, stability and stability of the economic system of the region through the interest of all actors of economic security.

Understanding the growth of entrepreneurial regions and the extent to which the actors in the triple helix model are dominant at particular stages in development is the theme of this article. Both Oxfordshire and the Cambridge sub-region are important high-tech economies dominated by historic universities, Oxford and Cambridge (often referred to collectively as Oxbridge), two of the world’s leading research universities. As entrepreneurial regions, however, they differ in a number of respects. In the article different dynamics leading to the inception, implementation, consolidation and renewal of regions characterized by very high levels of technology-based entrepreneurship are explored. It is argued that, although they are leading locations of multiple clusters of high-tech firms, they could have been more successful in creating more and bigger firms. It is proposed that part of the explanation lies in the relative lack of engagement of their major assets (the universities) in leading local economic development.

The analysis of the scientific sources devoted to problems of regional development is carried out. The article reveals that the organizational and legal basis for the regional policy has been formed the basic principles of regulation of socio-economic development at the regional level have been determined in Ukraine during the period of independence. The research shows that in the context of continuing administrative reform, the state regional policy, which is part of the national strategy of the socio-economic development of Ukraine, is closely linked to adjusting the administrative-territorial structure of the state. It is implemented by executive authorities and local governments through the system of methods, tools, means, measures for the realization of the defined purposes and maintenance of efficient, complex management of social and economic development at the regional level. The dynamics of the main indicators of socio-economic development at the regional level is presented. The paper shows that the GRP resumed growing in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The analysis indicates the population reduction in all regions of Ukraine, except for Kyiv region, which is the leader in the number of arrivals; concentration of human resources in industrial regions (25% of the population of Ukraine is concentrated in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv regions); GRP growth per capita in most oblasts and Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv (excluding Kyiv) oblasts reaching the leading positions; increasing level of concentration of production in cities with a population of over a million: Kyiv, Kharkiv and in the largest regional centers of Ukraine: Dnipro, Odesa, Lviv, and others. The paper proves that public authorities during the development of strategic, program decisions on regional development management should take into account the challenges caused by the geopolitical situation, the global crisis caused by the pandemic, climate change, man-made disasters, etc.

Abstract In the last years, universities have assumed a prominent role in the science and technology-based economic development. The concept of entrepreneurial university, a key concept in the triple helix model developed by Etzkowitz, identifies the evolution of the university role with the addition to the traditional missions of university (education and research) of a third mission that is to contribute to the economic development through the transfer of research results from the laboratory to the economic system. The objective of the research is to analyze how universities are implementing this new mission and investigate factors affecting their entrepreneurial orientation. More specifically, our paper aims to investigate the existence of a relationship among the entrepreneurial orientation of university and some factors representing the internal and external context in which the university is involved.
