Abstract

Successes of a country at global or local levels depend heavily on the level of collaboration between Government, Industry, and Academia. The Triple Helix (TH) concept is a shift from industry-government dyad in the Industrial Society to growing relationship among university- industry-government in the Knowledge Society. Major dimensions of Tripple helix are lifelong learning, triple transition (climate, digital, demographic), gender equality and the future of employment. Despite huge volume of literature, there is still no single comprehensive methodology for measuring TH performance. The paper proposes two methods to measure TH-performance as composite index (CI) reflecting TH-performance of a country at a given year by arithmetic aggregations where scores of Likert items are transformed to continuous, equidistant and monotonic scores, following Normal distribution (Method-1)
