“…When one looks into their physical space requirements, incubators could be physical or virtual or a combination of the two (Durã o, Sarmento, Varela, & Maltez, 2005;Majbritt Chambers and Knud Erik Serup Vejle, 2011). Virtual incubators extend incubation services to those outside the physical incubator through electronic networks (European Court of Auditors, 2014).…”

Informal learning in construction projects offers opportunities for learning in a manner that could be likened to conventional incubation. However, whether the two concepts are similar or closely related in terms of their intended/unintended outcome is not well investigated. A guided literature review based on 20 pre-specified incubation issues has revealed that conventional incubators and informal learning-by-doing practices in construction projects in developing countries are likely to be similar on three issues; "rationale for their existence", "their employment prospect" and their respective characteristics of "graduates and graduation qualifications". As learning mechanism the two, differ substantially in the remaining 17 issues specifically on those relating to support services that accompany learning. Conventional incubators provide services and functions that facilitate the growth of firms and entrepreneurs while actors involved explicitly understands the learning objectives while informal learning-by-doing practices do not require the double-coincidence of learning intentions between the mentor and the mentee. Furthermore, unlike conventional incubators which are physical or virtue spaces, informal learning-by-doing, utilises physical spaces (informal construction sites) only as tools in the knowledge transfer process and skilled craftsmen, social networks and knowledge development are integrated as incubators. It is ISSN 2162-4860 2018 http://ber.macrothink.org 14 therefore, imperative for governments in developing countries to nurture informal construction practices so as to incubate innovative skills thus creating an incubator-like environment within the informal setting.

“…Thereby the central concern is to enable and foster the 'deal flow' from the early invention of novel ideas, e.g., in a university lab, to business plans (see, e.g., Durao et al, 2005) and their initial realisation in a start-up company, and ultimately, to the subsequent growth and expansion of a new high-tech enterprise.…”

This paper reviews the major finance-related causes of private under-investment in innovation and the consequent alternative choices for public policy. The focus is on (i) incentive-based arguments that address the problem of limited appropriability of new knowledge, and (ii) the lacking access to external sources of finance caused by imperfections in the capital market. Drawing a policy mind map, which aims to enhance the mutual awareness and coordination of policy makers at the crossroads of technology and corporate finance, the paper is organised along the following chain of thought: (i) causes and rationales, (ii) aims and targets, (iii) critical constraints, and (iv) the main finance-related instruments of innovation policy. r

“…However, the semiconductor and agricultural biotechnology industries developing successfully in the northern region could not be embedded in local economic development until now; in contrast to TFT-LCD, it can already compete with other highperformance industries developed over the last 20 years (Table 2). This phenomenon reflected the industrial targets for the STSP, which tend to be ad hoc under the consideration of the HSIP rather than based on theory or a complete study of regional context [4]. Kun and Chen [8] found the important factor is that none of the largest three industries in 1986 and 1996 can be regarded as having strong linkage with the STSP target industries or similarly with local industrial structure.…”

“…Secondly, in order to develop high-tech industries, the most important criterion for site selection from the west experience is whether the site is near the research university and research institute to provide innovation and technology transfer [4]. The principle for firms entering the STSP is that its innovation consumption needs to be equal to 3% of the revenue.…”

This study addresses the new challenges facing the planning confliction for science parks and how it may be solved in a sustainable way in the case of the Southern Taiwan Southern Park (STSP). From the sustainable perspective, the problems can be classified into three parts. Firstly, the site is located in a lowlying area with flooding problems, which is also a historical area with highvalued cultural assets. Secondly, the semiconductor industries developing successfully in the northern region could not be embedded in local economic development; in contrast to TFT-LCD, they can already compete with other well-performing industries that have been developed over the past 20 years. Thirdly, there is a trend that science parks could be a growth-pole to accelerate regional development, but when this was put into practice, it interfered with local and central government's resource-seeking confliction and integration problems. In general, most of the problems are unanticipated and solved through learning by doing. In this paper, we conceptualize the process of how to govern the formation of the STSP, propose five important factors for the practical planning works, and hope this experience could be an important model for future planning.
