Facets of Technology Incubation

Abstract

<jats:p> The authors review the different facets of the incubation process for high-tech companies and highlight its complex and multidimensional nature. They then assess what are the most critical factors in incubation in the context of the market supply and demand for incubation facilities. They identify two key facets, selectivity and productivity requirements, and through these construct a typology that is founded on non-ambiguous factors. They discuss the implications of this typology using data from exploratory research and suggest areas of focus for further empirical studies. </jats:p>

The temporal dimensions of business incubation: A value-creation perspective

“…The business incubation model involves different phases (Bergek and Norrman, 2008). Incubators make decisions regarding the selection of suitable start-ups to accept for incubation from a large number of applicants (Surlemont, 2002).

Contextual Heterogeneity in Entrepreneurship Research

“…The studies on the evolution of the business incubation (Bruneel, Ratinho, Clarysse, & Groen, 2012;Mian, Lamine, & Fayolle, 2016) demonstrate that the accelerators have routes in the incubator phenomenon, which has been extensively studied since the 1980s (Hackett & Dilts, 2004). However, despite the similarities and overlapping use of terminology, incubators are characterized by physical space and unlimited duration whereas accelerators are cohort-based with limited duration and clearly connected with the growth in the digital economy (Cohen & Hochberg, 2014;Hathaway, 2016;Isabelle, 2013;Miller & Bound, 2011;Pauwels, Clarysse, Wright, & Van Hove, 2016;Surlemont, Nlemvo, & Pirnay, 2002).…”
