ABSTRACT
Innovation is recognized as the driver of economic growth. The triple helix model of university-industry-government is increasingly becoming the requisite basis for innovation and development in a knowledge-based society. This chapter focuses on the study of the industry sphere of the triple helix model. The main objective is to investigate inter-organizational learning through strategic alliances in the industrial area. The chapter proposes to explore three types of learning that can be generated in South–South cooperation: internalization of partners’ capabilities, learning with alliance partners and/or learning to manage alliances.
