Smart Quintuple Helix Innovation Systems
Author: Elias G. Carayannis
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030015173
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
This volume examines the relationships among social ecology, innovation, sustainable development and economic growth.

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.
