This paper proposes a model to evaluate business projects to get into an incubator, allowing to rank them in order of selection priority. The model combines the Momentum method to build prospective scenarios and the AHP-TOPSIS-2N Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method to rank the alternatives. Six business projects were evaluated to be incubated. The Momentum method made it possible for us to create an initial core of criteria for the evaluation of incubation projects. The AHP-TOPSIS-2N method supported the decision to choose the company to be incubated by ranking the alternatives in order of relevance. Our evaluation model has improved the existing models used by incubators. This model can be used and/or adapted by any incubator to evaluate the business projects to be incubated. The set of criteria for the evaluation of incubation projects is original and the use of prospective scenarios with an MCDM method to evaluate companies to be incubated does not exist in the literature.
Resumo: Devido à sua importância no estabelecimento de empresas e na formação de pessoas com características empreendedoras, o empreendedorismo é um tema acadêmico amplamente discutido, contribuindo para o crescimento econômico em termos nacionais e internacionais. O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma compilação de informações sobre a utilização da análise multicritério para tratamento de dados relacionados ao empreendedorismo. Uma pesquisa bibliométrica foi realizada nas bases Scopus e ISI Web of Science, acessadas a partir do Portal de Periódicos da Capes, em março de 2016. Um total de 37 artigos foram retornados/ revelados, excluídos os duplicados e os que não estavam de acordo com objetivo da pesquisa, 13 foram selecionados para análise, resultando nos seguintes aspectos de interesse da amostra: ciclo de produção; palavras-chave; país de origem; principais autores e periódicos; áreas do conhecimento relacionadas. Como contribuição, espera-se a construção de uma visão global da literatura existente sobre multicritério na análise de dados de empreendedorismo.Palavras-chave: Multicritério. Empreendedorismo.

This article's objective is to present a compilation of information about the use of multicriteria analysis for the treatment of data on entrepreneurship. A bibliometric survey was performed in the Scopus and ISI Web of Science databases, accessed from the Capes journal portal in March 2016. A total of 37 articles were found. After excluding duplicates and those articles outside the scope of the research objective, 13 were selected for analysis, resulting in the following aspects of interest of the sample: production cycle; keywords; country of origin; main authors and journals; related fields of knowledge. As a contribution, this article is expected to build an overview of the existing literature on multicriteria in the data analysis of entrepreneurship.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
