Summary: | <p class="first" id="d268709e127">This contribution seeks to explore how complex adaptive theory can be applied at the
conceptual level to unpack Triple Helix models. We use two cases to examine this issue
– the Finnish Strategic Centres for Science, Technology & Innovation (SHOKs) and the
Canadian Business-led Networks of Centres of Excellence (BL-NCE). Both types of centres
are organisational structures that aspire to be business-led, with a considerable
portion of their activities driven by (industrial) users' interests and requirements.
Reflecting on the centres' activities along three dimensions – knowledge generation,
consensus building and innovation – we contend that conceptualising the Triple Helix
from a process perspective will improve the dialogue between stakeholders and shareholders.
