Their role has often been interpreted in terms of knowledge production, with institutions sometimes perceived as 'knowledge factories' creating and selling intellectual products. This role is captured in the concept of 'research commercialisation'. The paper argues for a broader approach to addressing knowledge transfer built around concepts of communicative interaction. It suggests that transfer processes also need to comprehend diffusion, relationship and engagement processes. Finally the paper suggests that the role of higher education and public research organisations might be more appropriately comprehended in terms of their role as service organisations -where the value of their output is in the service provided rather than in the intellectual products themselves. This has implications for the way in which economic performance is measured and assessed.

The TH framework provides a useful depiction and description of what might take place in what are commonly described as 'regional innovation ecosystems'. There is a presumption that interactions will evolve around the convergence of missions concerning creation and utilisation of knowledge, regional networks, government regulation and venture finance, and decisions of multinational corporations and international organisations.

Cost pressures, import competition, and skills shortages are major issues of concern. Many businesses are considered to be in 'survival mode'. Much of this has been attributed to the rising value of the Australian dollarbut there are other forces at work.
