Business incubators (BIs) are important supporters for young businesses, since they provide firms with physical facilities and intangible support. Existing literature reviews focusing on BIs have neglected to consider individual factors in their success in favor of combining key performance measurements to identify their development targets. This systematic literature review thus aimed to combine studies that examined specific issues pertaining to BI performance and related key performance indicators to measure their activities. We conducted a systematic literature review based on two research questions: the first research question concerned critical factors for BIs’ performance; the second concerned their performance measurements. To ensure that we covered crucial factors and indicators of the latest generation of BIs, our systematic procedure included 74 studies published between 2005 and 2020 that were read in full and revealed ten critical factors that particularly emphasized financial resources and networking. We identified six categories for performance measurement, placing the greatest emphasis on the measurement of social capital. We recommend that academic researchers and BIs prioritize the intangible factors that constitute organizations’ hidden value. This review thus provides novel findings by identifying common critical factors for BIs’ performance and offering guidelines for performance measurement that consider BIs’ intangible assets and trends for future studies.

n+ . The most thoroughly investigated, best characterized and most stable oxometal cations are the dioxouranium(VI), dioxomolybdenum(VI) and oxovanadium(IV) ions. Complexes of the uranyl ion, UO 2 2+ , are of interest since they show four, five, six or seven-coordinate, pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry (Gatto et al., 2004). Due to the spectral properties (absorption and luminescence) and excited-state electron-transfer properties of the UO 2 2+ ion, dioxouranium(VI) complexes have possible applications in solar energy conversion systems (Signorni and Dockal, 1996).The Schiff base complexes with many transition metal ions, focused on complexes of the d-block elements, have attracted considerable interest because of their growing importance as model molecules for biological systems such as oxygen carriers. Dioxouranium(VI) complexes of some aroylhydrazines (benzoylhydrazine, salicyloylhydrazine, nicotinoylhydrazine) and their Schiff bases with acetone have been characterized where ligand acted as bidentate using NO-donor set (Chowdhury et al., 2008). The structure of the chelates of dioxouranium(VI), UO 2 2+ , of the bidentate Schiff base ligands derived from o-hydroxyaldehyde or

This chapter presents how SMEs or companies can implement Industry 4.0 based on case studies in Thai SMEs. Additionally, the chapter examined implementation strategies to convert a company successfully to SME 4.0. The implementation process includes identifying business trends, foresight strategy, gap analysis, industrial research and capacity development, and technology blueprint development plan. By working closely as the triple helix with universities and tech-development agencies, the inside-out and outside-in approaches are used. There can be several challenges during the implementation, such as the requirement of new skills, new technology, and investment needs. The challenges can be addressed by setup and implement the appropriate strategy for developing workers’ skill sets, making investments in the new technologies, and improving the efficiency of the production process.
