By decomposing and analyzing the quadruple helix model and N-tuple helices into interacting triple helices, Leydesdorff and Lawton Smith’s (2022) research promises to open further the black box inside the higher-order helices, and provides a theoretical basis and guidance for the subsequent governance on the innovation in the higher-order helices model. In this commentary, we have argued that a framework based on agile governance can be applied to the governance of this higher-order helices model with interactions among multiple triple helices. A set of flexible and adaptive actions or methods are necessary to make the governance on the higher-order helices model to be more agile to keep pace with the rapid changes of society.

Leydesdorff 和 Lawton Smith (2022) 的研究通过将四重螺旋模型和N元组螺旋分解分析为相互作用的三重螺旋，有望进一步打开高阶螺旋内部的黑匣子，为后续研究提供理论依据和指导。对高阶螺旋模型创新的治理。在这篇评论中，我们认为基于敏捷治理的框架可以应用于治理这种具有多个三重螺旋之间相互作用的高阶螺旋模型。需要一套灵活的、适应性强的行动或方法，使对高阶螺旋模型的治理更加敏捷，以跟上社会的快速变化。
