Organizing and managing innovation in a knowledge-based economy has become an increasingly important issue in advanced industrial and developing societies, alike. China, where a stable and high growth rate has been attained in recent years, represents a unique setting for investigating various forms of reforms and innovations in a developing country.  The special issue is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum on university-industry-government Triple Helix relations for academics, industrial practitioners, government officers and policy makers.

The empirical papers should included a comprehensive review and critical analysis of existing literature, an elaboration of research design with methodological issues, a focused discussion of empirical findings and  appropriate conclusions with policy implications.
