Innovation hub a venture for students’ entrepreneurial talents: a case of college of business education

“…The composition of start-up teams has to be open across the programme to enable simulation of inflow and outflow of entrepreneurial and technical knowledge across the incubated units within the innovation hub boundaries (Gupta et al, 2016;Soetanto & Jack, 2018) Empirical Review Tidd and Bessant (2013) defined innovation as the ability to see connections, draw opportunities and take advantage of deploying better solution, unarticulated needs, and existing market needs achieved by effective products, processes, technologies and business models. That instance makes innovation hubs to works as networking platform to blend diverse range of competences among the practitioners to improve innovation process (Wu & Lantz, 2017). The open innovation within the hubs usually accelerates problem solving skills, enables entrepreneurial idea generation leads to quality innovations, enhance informal communication, knowledge sharing and open collaboration Sharma & Bhatt, 2022).…”

“…Establishment and development of hubs, is beneficial to the colleges for enhancement changes in practitioners' mindsets towards developing enriched action researches and development that are originating from the contextual practices (Chirchietti, 2017;Lantz & Wu, 2017).

“…Moreover, innovation hubs used to connect partners such as investors, mentors, government, and students to mention few (Sambuli & Whitt, 2017;Jiménez & Zheng, 2018). Consequently, communication patterns in the hub are flat to foster systems of connections that put individuals, firms, start-ups, incubators, and accelerators together to transform innovative ideas into technologically feasible solutions (Wu & Lantz, 2017;. According to Paula (2018); incubation hub is a free active innovation space platform of the local network facilitating getting insight innovative ecosystems.…”

“…Due to the practices gaps colleges and university are required to change the practices of attaching students to internships and field work to practice what has already been established instead focus to induce innovative entrepreneurial competencies (Theodoraki, Messeghem & Audretsch, 2021). However, advocated curriculum related gaps in appropriate procedures, approaches for fostering creativity, problem-solving, innovation skills research and development are principally core functions in most colleges and universities (Wu & Lantz, 2017;Rinkinen & Harmaakorpi, 2018;Vardhan & Mahato, (2022).
