“…On the contrary, the most adopted strategy is to take advantage of unique and occasional opportunities that arise from participation in trade fairs and collaborating with other start-ups’ activities, often in partnership with the same science park. As Triadó-Ivern et al (2015) state, by bringing together in the same place several research works and development activities in high-tech areas, science parks facilitate personal and institutional contacts between these means, producing an agglomeration economy or spatial concentration of technological development. In the evaluation of low-end disruptive technologies, the use of experts and employees of the institution is the main means adopted by university spin-offs followed by SWOT analysis.…”

The entrepreneurs responsible for establishing university spinoffs are incessantly looking for new ways to leverage existing technology or create an entirely new product or service market. The creation of disruptive innovative solutions has assumed a key role in enhancing the role of university spinoffs in the global marketplace. This study aims to characterize and explore the phenomenon of disruptive innovation in university spinoffs and identify how university spinoffs recognize and evaluate low-end and new-market disruptive technologies. The findings reveal that university spin-offs have essentially privileged new-market disruptive technologies. Participation in trade fairs, conferences and journals have been the main methods adopted by these organizations to identify disruptive technologies, while the evaluation of the potential of these disruptive technologies is essentially based on the experience and scientific knowledge of the founders of the university spin-offs. Furthermore, the size and number of years of activity of university spinoffs are two factors that allow us to understand the greater proximity of the younger and smaller spinoffs with universities and research centers, whereas the larger organizations prioritize mainly market analysis and product research techniques.

“…STPs are designed to provide value-added services together with high-quality space and facilities and to promote interaction amongst universities, R&D institutions, companies and markets (Triadó-Ivern et al , 2015). A plot of GDP per capita against KEI suggests that Ireland, the USA and Norway are at the pinnacle of countries currently harnessing the benefits of a knowledge economy.…”

Purpose Science parks play an important role in development of technology and are able to stimulate economic growth of the countries. The purpose of this paper is to study the role that science and technology parks (STPs) play in growth of knowledge-based economy. Design/methodology/approach Key factors affecting the competitive advantages and the World Bank indicators resulting in knowledge-based economy were displayed in the form of a questionnaire which was examined by experts. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate main factors and sub-factors of competitive advantages of the institutions, including aspects of human resources, research and development and technology transfer, facilities, market development and to assess the main criteria of knowledge-based economy known as pillars of the overall economic performance, the institutional regime and economic incentives, innovation system, education and information technology and communications. Findings The obtained results from the study on competitive advantages were evaluated and analyzed by using SPSS software and the results of the review on development of knowledge-based economy were modeled by SmartPLS software with partial least squares method. Eventually, the obtained model was tested and analyzed. Originality/value This study is an original contribution to the theory of STPs and knowledge-based economy. It was initiated to examine the role of STPs in development of knowledge-based economy and presentation schematic model.

“…Park attributes such as management and facilities might enhance the benefits accrued from the good image and reputation of the park (Ng et al, 2020). Not only the image of TPs but also the image of affiliated universities improves the reputation of tenants (Triadó-Ivern et al , 2015). Similarly, successful university spin-offs located on the park might further strengthen the image of the park and bring in new tenants to the park.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the business model of techno parks (TPs) in Turkey and shed light on the value co-creation in TPs in the light of the service perspective and stakeholder theory. Design/methodology/approach In this conceptual paper, a generic business model canvas for Turkish TPs has been elicited based on an in-depth review of the literature. Then, the functioning of the model and the nature of value co-creation have been viewed through the lenses of service perspective and stakeholder theory, and then the relationships and flows between the components of the business model have been visualized with a dynamic model. Findings The institutional environment leads Turkish TPs to have similar business models with functional differences. The value is co-created by stakeholders in TPs and value co-creation depends on the skills, competencies and cooperative efforts of all actors involved in the functioning of the business model. Practical implications This paper provides insight for TP management companies to improve their business models, for policymakers to refine institutional framework to enable effective functioning of TPs and for stakeholders to understand their role in value co-creation. Originality/value This paper provides a dynamic framework and a model for understanding business models of TPs and the value co-creation process, which is an understudied area, especially in a developing country context. It also extends the business model and value co-creation literature in the context of TPs by integrating multiple theoretical perspectives.
