Mapping Innovation Networks: A Network-Based Approach to Actor Heterogeneity in National Innovation Systems
The Triple Helix model has provided a foundational framework for analyzing National Innovation Systems by highlighting the roles of universities, industries, and government research institutes. However, increasing heterogeneity within these actor groups limits the explanatory power of typological approaches. This study introduces a capability-based network methodology that maps the structural relationships among innovation actors based on the similarity of their research and development (R&D) c…
