虽然产业、政府和大学合作的广泛“三重障碍”框架有可能在宏观层面上加强创新和经济发展，但在企业的微观层面上，不应假定这种关系在性质或结果上是一致的。每个公司将根据自己的能力和战略，与创新系统的其他参与者谈判和发展自己的一套关系。为了更好地理解这些动态，特别是从中小企业的角度来看，本研究探讨外部企业关系的微观层面的特点和影响。新的网站为基础的三重阻碍措施的介绍，扩大了分析范围超出常规指标（如专利分析或熵的措施），包括所有三个螺旋之间的沟通和协调，在微观层面上的个别公司。通过对美国271家绿色产品中小制造企业的分析，探讨了产业、政府和大学关系对中小企业微观层面的特征和影响。我们比较了基于网站的措施与案例研究的结果，以验证该方法。然后采用面板数据回归模型分析了行业，政府和大学的各种组合对企业销售增长的同时影响（2008-2011年），控制区域，规模和应用领域。基于网站的指标的能力，区分不同的三重障碍关系的混合的影响进行了演示。虽然与所有三个螺旋的关系有一个积极的总边际效应对公司的销售增长，当地的关系和关系，强调与政府和行业的联系，使样本绿色商品企业的增长特别显着的贡献。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论。
While broad “Triple Helix” frameworks of industry, government and university collaborations have the potential to enhance innovation and economic development at macro-levels, at the micro-level of the firm it should not be assumed that such relationships are uniform in character or outcomes. Each firm will negotiate and develop its own set of relationships with other innovation system actors based on its capabilities and strategies. To better understand these dynamics, particularly from the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises, this study probes the micro-level characteristics and impacts of external enterprise relationships. Novel website-based Triple Helix measures are introduced that extend the analytical scope beyond customary indicators (such as patent analysis or entropy measures) to include communication and coordination among all three helices at the micro-level of individual firms. This approach is used to explore the micro-level characteristics and impacts of industry, government and university relations for small and medium-sized enterprises by analyzing a subset of 271 U.S. green goods small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises. We compare the website-based measures with case study results to authenticate the method. A panel data regression model is then employed to analyze the simultaneous impacts of various combinations of industry, government and university links on firm sales growth (2008–2011), with controls for region, scale, and application domains. The ability of website-based indicators to distinguish the impacts of different mixes of Triple Helix relations is demonstrated. While relationships with all three helices have a positive total marginal effect on firm sales growth, local relationships and relationships that emphasize links with government and industry make particularly notable contributions to growth in the sample green goods enterprises. The implications of these findings are discussed.
