“…The literature also reveals that incubator managers actively and continuously seek ways to improve the level of customer service satisfaction inside the incubator [45]. Consistent with the findings from a recent study comparing technology incubators and non-technology based incubators in North European Union countries [11], [25], [6] and [22] confirmed that the quality of business assistance provided is essential for successful business incubation.…”

Abstract. Business incubation has been known in the literature as an economic development tool. Around the world, and in the developing countries particularly, business incubation is deployed to stimulate the growth of small-to-medium sized enterprises or SMEs, which are the lifeblood for many countries. Malaysia's business incubation system has been established since the 1980s and in line with the country's aspirations to become a developed nation by year 2020, much has been done by the government to catalyse the growth of SMEs, particularly, ICT SMEs. Despite establishing numerous ICT incubators over the two decades, the process involved in assisting new entrepreneurs in the incubators remains fragmented. This paper examines a component critical to the business incubation process: monitoring and business assistance intensity and its impact on the performance of incubates. Quantitative method was deployed with a total of 118 incubatees from ICT incubators in Malaysia responding to an online survey questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that monitoring and business assistance intensity is statistically significant in predicting incubatee performance. The findings will provide valuable information for entrepreneurs, business incubator managers, and policy-makers on best practices of incubation management and benchmarking towards fourth-generation incubators. This paper fills the gap in the current incubation literature, contributing in several aspects including empirical data, methodology, and noteworthy findings regarding the Malaysian incubation phenomenon.

“…While knowledge filter is considered as the constraint and barrier towards economic knowledge (Acs et al, 2003;Audretsch, 2014). In addition, lack of financial support has been identified as another major problem in commercialization, innovation and entrepreneurship (Al-mubaraki & Busler, 2010;Bonnet & Wirtz, 2012;Bozkaya & De La Potterie, 2008;Chandra et al, 2007;Wonglimpiyarat, 2013b;Zane, 2011). The gap exists in the literature to identify the suitable financial mechanisms for these phenomena (Chen, 2009;Pierrakis, 2012).…”

Technology commercialization is envisioned as an important indicator of economic growth through academic environment. The assurance of financial capital to accelerate the technology commercialization is a big challenge for European countries and above that, European Venture Capital (VC) market has not been fully exploited according to its potential. Using a dynamic model approach on 21 European Union countries data from 2007 to 2013, we found an empirical stance for an interaction between research and development (R&D) expenditure and VC for accelerating technology commercialization in the form of contemporary patents and startups. The results depict that venture capitalists are more oriented towards startups as compared to patenting activity. The application of dynamic model approach helped to generalize the results across Europe and for other developed countries. Particularly, the study argues that a contemporary knowledge and simulation of VC in framing the innovation system and promising the business formation is much desired. In line with the perspective of innovation led ecosystem, an active contribution and understanding of VC would also be acknowledged.

“…Incubator startup costs are typically funded by synergistic efforts of the organizations from federal, state and local levels of government, universities and public organizations. (Chandra, He, Fealey, 2007;Chandra & Fealey, 2009;Scaramuzzi, 2002).…”

This study compared university affiliated and non-university affiliated business incubators in the United States and Brazil in order to assess the impacts of country context and affiliation on incubator funding sources, direct financial assistance to client firms and internal versus external service mix through use of quantitative and qualitative data. Affiliations with external entities can provide life giving resources; however, it may also transfer external shocks to the new venture calling for buffers. Results indicated that incubators in the United States have a higher number of funding sources, are more likely to provide direct financial support, and offer more external services relative to Brazilian incubators; whereas Brazilian incubators are more inclined to connect incubatees to external financial resources but provide services in-house. The study results suggested that incubators in both countries use "bridges" and "buffers" to ameliorate resource deficits driven by environmental exigencies.
