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.

Which federal states have sole decision-making authority?
In a federal system like the United States, federal states that have sole decision-making authority are often referred to as "unitary states." In these states, the central government holds all decision-making power and delegates limited authority to lower levels of government. Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, where the central government has the final say on most policy matters. This centralized system contrasts with federal states like the U.S. and Germany, where power is shared between the central government and individual states or regions.

Is a school an authority or a government institution?
A school is an authority in the sense that it has the power to enforce rules and regulations within its own domain, such as maintaining discipline and setting academic standards. However, a school is not a government institution in the same way that a police department or a public library is. While schools may receive funding from the government and are subject to certain regulations, they are typically run by independent boards or organizations and have their own governance structures.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of authoritarian government leadership?
Authoritarian government leadership can provide stability and efficiency in decision-making, as power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group. This can lead to quick implementation of policies and initiatives without the need for lengthy debates or negotiations. However, the lack of checks and balances in authoritarian systems can result in the suppression of individual freedoms, limited political participation, and a higher risk of corruption and abuse of power. Additionally, authoritarian leaders may prioritize their own interests over those of the population, leading to potential social unrest and discontent.

Leadership and Strategic Management : Decision-Making in Times of Change
Managers are facing unprecedented complexity, volatility, and ambiguity, quickly adapting their decision-making, leadership, vision, and strategies.Megatrends and forces of change have profound implications for business models, processes, and organizational structures, calling into question current paradigms and designing future change.Additionally, unprecedented disruptions, unforecastable in their nature, have increased the need for resilience and strategic flexibility. The book aims at tackling the potential interrelations among environmental transformations, strategic decisions, and leadership to better understand the role of external and internal factors on the effectiveness of managers.The book defines “change”: its extent, nature, and characteristics.Then, it focuses on decision-making, the role of potential cognitive biases, and how the interaction with the perception of determined environmental events affects the way in which decision-makers decide to implement specific strategies.Finally, in the light of waves of strategic change, it reviews theories on leadership and transformation by looking at the role and traits of leaders. Since environmental transformations have the potential to “disrupt” not only strategies but also decision-making processes and leadership, the book provides a review on the issue and propose an integrative framework which can be useful for both scholars and managers, especially in the fields of decision-making and strategy.

Creating Public Value : Strategic Management in Government
A seminal figure in the field of public management, Mark H.Moore presents his summation of fifteen years of research, observation, and teaching about what public sector executives should do to improve the performance of public enterprises.Useful for both practicing public executives and those who teach them, this book explicates some of the richest of several hundred cases used at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and illuminates their broader lessons for government managers.Moore addresses four questions that have long bedeviled public administration: What should citizens and their representatives expect and demand from public executives?What sources can public managers consult to learn what is valuable for them to produce?How should public managers cope with inconsistent and fickle political mandates?How can public managers find room to innovate?Moore’s answers respond to the well-understood difficulties of managing public enterprises in modern society by recommending specific, concrete changes in the practices of individual public managers: how they envision what is valuable to produce, how they engage their political overseers, and how they deliver services and fulfill obligations to clients.Following Moore’s cases, we witness dilemmas faced by a cross-section of public managers: William Ruckelshaus and the Environmental Protection Agency; Jerome Miller and the Department of Youth Services; Miles Mahoney and the Park Plaza Redevelopment Project; David Sencer and the swine flu scare; Lee Brown and the Houston Police Department; Harry Spence and the Boston Housing Authority.Their work, together with Moore’s analysis, reveals how public managers can achieve their true goal of producing public value.

They may also seek to challenge the status quo and push for changes in economic and foreign policies to align with their nationalist and anti-establishment views.

How can citizens' councils be equipped with political decision-making authority?
Citizens' councils can be equipped with political decision-making authority by implementing a system of direct democracy, where citizens have the power to directly participate in decision-making processes. This can be achieved through mechanisms such as citizen initiatives, referendums, and participatory budgeting, which allow citizens to propose, vote on, and influence policy decisions. Additionally, citizens' councils can be given formal recognition and support from government institutions, ensuring that their recommendations and decisions are taken into consideration in the political decision-making process. Furthermore, providing citizens' councils with access to resources, information, and expertise can help to enhance their capacity to make informed and effective decisions.
