This open access book addresses three themes which have been
central to Leydesdorff's research: (1) the dynamics of science,
technology, and innovation; (2) the scientometric
operationalization of these concept; and (3) the elaboration in
terms of a Triple Helix of university-industry-government
relations. In this study, I discuss the relations among these
themes. Using Luhmann's social-systems theory for modelling meaning
processing and Shannon's theory for information processing, I show
that synergy can add new options to an innovation system as
redundancy. The capacity to develop new options is more important
for innovation than past performance. Entertaining a model of
possible future states makes a knowledge-based system increasingly
anticipatory. The trade-off between the incursion of future states
on the historical developments can be measured using the
Triple-Helix synergy indicator. This is shown, for example, for the
Italian national and regional systems of innovation.
