The Triple Helix : University–Industry–Government Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The triple helix of university–industry–government interactions is a universal model for the development of the knowledge-based society, through innovation and entrepreneurship.It draws from the innovative practice of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with industry and government in inventing a regional renewal strategy in early 20th-century New England.Parallel experiences were identified in “Silicon Valley,” where Stanford University works together with industry and government.Triple helix is identified as the secret of such innovative regions.It may also be found in statist or laissez-faire societies, globally. The triple helix focuses on “innovation in innovation” and the dynamic to foster an innovation ecosystem, through various hybrid organizations, such as technology transfer offices, venture capital firms, incubators, accelerators, and science parks. This second edition develops the practical and policy implications of the triple helix model with case studies exemplifying the meta-theory, including:• how to make an innovative region through the triple helix approach;• balancing development and sustainability by “triple helix twins";• triple helix matrix to analyze regional innovation globally; and• case studies on the Stanford's StartX accelerator; the Ashland, Oregon Theater Arts Clusters; and Linyi regional innovation in China. The Triple Helix as a universal innovation model can assist students, researchers, managers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to understand the roles of university, industry, and government in forming and developing “an innovative region,” which has self-renewal and sustainable innovative capacity.

Could the federal government dismiss a state government?
No, the federal government cannot dismiss a state government. The U.S. Constitution establishes a system of federalism where both the federal and state governments have their own powers and responsibilities. While the federal government can intervene in state affairs under certain circumstances, such as in cases of a state government violating the Constitution, it cannot outright dismiss a state government. Each state government is elected by its citizens and operates independently within the framework of the Constitution.
-
Could the federal government remove a state government?
The federal government does not have the authority to remove a state government. The Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states, and the structure of the Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances that prevents any one branch of government from becoming too powerful. While the federal government can intervene in state affairs in certain circumstances, such as through the enforcement of federal laws or court orders, it cannot unilaterally remove a state government.

How are government, government faction, and opposition faction related?
The government, government faction, and opposition faction are all interconnected within a political system. The government is the ruling body that holds power and authority over a country, while the government faction consists of the political party or coalition in power. The opposition faction, on the other hand, is made up of political parties or groups that are not in power and serve as a check and balance to the government. These factions often engage in debate, negotiation, and conflict as they work to shape policies and decisions that impact the country.
