Summary: | <p class="first" id="d265549e69">The objective of the paper is to demonstrate how the theoretical ideas of service-dominant
logic (S-D logic) can usefully be applied to innovation through collaboration among
university, industry and government. The debate around S-D logic has stimulated much
discussion of three areas that are particularly pertinent in considering the co-creation
of knowledge within the Triple Helix. The first area relates to understanding the
nature of the resources provided by all the parties involved and the process through
which they are integrated. The second area relates to interaction among the parties
involved. The third and most complex area relates to how value is perceived by the
different parties. This discussion leads to a proposed model of the co-creation process
and four suggested research agendas: Research Agenda One, looking at the resources
supplied by the parties and their integration; Research Agenda Two, concerning the
interaction practices that enhance co-creation; Research Agenda Three, exploring what
value propositions will motivate the different parties to co-create; and Research
Agenda Four, considering how co-creation modifies the resources of the parties involved.
A model of the co-creation process that encompasses these four research agendas and
provides a conceptual framework to analyse Triple Helix initiatives is proposed. Some
practical implications are then discussed relating to the challenges posed for researchers.
