Science and Public Policy Volume 38, Number 1, February 2011 Special issue on the emerging role of universities in socio-economic development through knowledge networking Guest editors: Mohammed Saad and Girma Zawdie Summaries of the main articles

Introduction to special issue: The emerging role of universities in socio-economic development through knowledge networking Mohammed Saad (Univ of the West of England, UK) and Girma Zawdie (Univ of Strathclyde, UK) Pages 3–6	This special issue explores the operationalization of the triple helix system in developing countries by examining the university–industry relationship and its implications for national and regional innovation systems. The papers attempt to set in perspective the role of universities in capacity building in India, Mexico, Chile and Thailand. The papers are based on in-depth case studies drawing on system theories such as the national and regional systems of innovation, national innovative capacity, and the triple helix system. They draw useful lessons of policy import for university managers, local government officials and regional industry associations.
University and innovation systems: the case of India Surja Datta (Oxford Brookes Univ, UK) and Mohammed Saad (Univ of the West of England, UK) Pages 7–17	This paper looks into the evolution of the innovation system in India and the role of the universities in the light of various system theories of innovation. There is evidence to show that the universities have contributed to India’s innovative capacity, albeit in ways that are not reflected through conventional measures of innovation. Many issues have constrained the Indian universities from playing a more effective role in the national innovation system.
The knowledge sphere, social capital and growth of indigenous knowledge-based SMEs in the Thai dessert industry Nattaka Yokakul and Girma Zawdie (Univ of Strathclyde, UK) Pages 19–29	Using the Thai dessert industry as an example, this paper highlights the knowledge sector as the driver of activities within the triple helix network and as a basis for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Knowledge transfer to SMEs and its impact on technological capability development is facilitated by social capital which is influenced by policy initiatives. A survey of 159 firms (household-based, community-based and factory-based firms) of the Thai dessert industry suggests that social capital is a major factor enhancing SMEs’ access to knowledge sources.
What are the factors driving university–industry linkages in latecomer firms: evidence from Mexico Arturo Torres et al. (UAM-Xochimilco, Mexico) Pages 31–42	This paper considers the drivers and modes of university–industry interaction in latecomer firms. Based on a survey conducted in 2008 and using a sample of Mexican manufacturing firms, technological and innovative effort (TIE)-related factors and structural characteristics have been introduced in a set of logistic models. Results confirm a positive relationship between the TIE, measured as the intensity of in-house R&D, the firm’s innovative profile, and its propensity to establish links with higher education institutes and public research centers.
Fostering university–industry interactions under a triple helix model: the case of Nuevo Leon, Mexico Marcia Villasana (EGAP-Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico) Pages 43–53	Interviews with researchers in biotechnology in the two largest private and public universities in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, were analyzed by applying a grounded theory approach. Findings show that researchers at both universities are motivated by the social impact that their research may have. However, biotech researchers at the public university appear to be more economically driven. In both cases, the participation of the technology transfer office is perceived to be weak. An implication is that academic researchers’ motivational patterns are important.
Measuring the roles universities play in regional innovation systems: a comparative study between Chilean and Canadian natural resource-based regions Scott Tiffin (CANATEC, Canada) and Martin Kunc (Univ of Warwick, UK) Pages 55–66	Universities can play critical roles in regional industrial development through innovation and entrepreneurship clusters. Formally managing this function in an integrated fashion is not well practiced by many universities. To improve this practice, we define the roles that universities can play and numerical indicators to measure them. Most world regions are ‘peripheral’ to a few core areas where academic research concentrates. Peripheral regions depend heavily on natural resource industries in both developed and developing countries. Thus, we study universities involved with wine, salmon culture, mining and eco-tourism.
Are small, medium - and micro-sized enterprises engines of innovation? The reality in South Africa Irma Booyens (HSRC, South Africa) Pages 67–78	The relationship between innovation activity and firm size in South Africa is examined. Using data from the National Innovation Survey (2002–2004) the nature of innovation by small, medium - and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) is considered. The main finding is that the innovation rate of SMMEs is relatively high, small enterprises reporting the highest innovation rate.
