The “Endless Perspective” to University – Industry – Government Relations

Abstract Since the emergence of Triple Helix, expansions to Quadruple, Quintuple, N-tuple helices, and models decomposing higher-order helices into multiple interrelated triple or two-layer have been proposed. Albeit presenting alternative conceptual frameworks these different Helix seem unsuited address internal boundaries institutional spheres university, industry, government. Addressing this circumstance, present article pursues research purpose conceptualizing a perspective that opens possibility analysis occur between but also within spheres. To effect it advocates application reference frames (scopes) capture dynamics empirically emerge from system under research. The novelty study is expands existing theory by proposing adding “scopes” (instead introducing new helices) can increase analytical potential Helix.
