Smart Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems: How Social Ecology and Environmental Protection are Driving Innovation, Sustainable Development and Economic Growth (SpringerBriefs in Business)

This volume examines the relationships among social ecology, innovation, sustainable development and economic growth. Using the principles of Quintuple Helix innovation system, the authors argue that social ecology and environmental management are supporters and drivers of innovation, sustainable development and economic growth. The Quintuple Helix innovation model focuses on the interactions among five key elements of society: academia, industry, government, culture, and the environment--with particular respect to harnessing knowledge to promote social, political, and economic development. The Quintuple Helix is a powerful theoretical and practical lens for analyzing and understanding such critical and complex ecological and socioeconomic issues as global warming and climate change and their implications for sustainability. The authors provide policy approaches and strategies to help create a balance among the often competing forces of environmental protection, innovation, entrepreneurship, and social and economic growth that will successfully benefit society and protect democratic values Contents 6 About the Authors 7 Abstract 8 Chapter 1: Introduction 9 Chapter 2: Definition of Key Terms: Knowledge, Knowledge Production, Innovation, Democracy, and Governance 13 Chapter 3: Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3: Triple Helix and Quadruple Helix 24 The Broader Contextualization of Knowledge and the Creation of a Knowledge Democracy 30 The Broadening of the Concept of Democracy and of the Quality of Democracy: Democracy and the Environment 33 Chapter 4: Sustainable Development, Social Ecology, and the Quintuple Helix 38 Chapter 5: Innovation Systems in Conceptual Evolution: Mode 3 Knowledge Production in Quadruple and Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems 45 Triple Helix Innovation Systems and Mode 1 and Mode 2 of Knowledge Production 45 Quadruple and Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems and Mode 3 of Knowledge Production 47 Summary of the Quadruple and Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems 51 Chapter 6: Conclusion: Smart Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems 56 References 60 Index 69 Front Matter ....Pages i-ix Introduction (Elias G.
