Abstract
The quadruple and quintuple helix models are considered as agents of innovation, in addition to those envisaged in the triple helix, society, and the environment, respectively. These agents are relevant to the development of sustainable innovation ecosystems. This research aims to identify and characterize the scientific production on the interactive innovation models of the quadruple and quintuple helices. A bibliometric study and an integrative literature review were carried out. The results of quantitative analysis reveal that the topic has been addressed since 2009, with increase in publications since 2020. The results show the main journals and authors, as well co-authorship and co-occurrence of keywords. Qualitative analyses show for categories of studies about quadruple helix. Furthermore, results discuss five themes in quintuple helix studies and four themes in both models. This study can be a source of reference for researchers and innovation, sustainability, and territory policies.
期刊介绍:
In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
