“…This supplements previous research showing the positive influence that science and technology parks have on start-up development [1,18]. In particular, accelerator programmes provide short term training, access to industry experts, and the opportunity to access a network of companies, These feature predominantly in cities that present high economic growth [15,45]. Attendance of an accelerator or open ended incubator program provides the opportunity to use facilities that reduce operational costs and provide access to necessary assets to run a company in the early stages [46].…”

“…High-tech start-ups that decide to enter an accelerator or incubator programme initially seek to obtain guidance from experts in the industry and through mentorship [2,45]. Entrepreneurs highlighted that successful programmes provide guidance and support from "mentorship and access to the market" (AC1, AC2).…”

Hence, such programmes enable early stage start-ups to gather entrepreneurial knowledge spillovers on how to establish the basic processes to develop the company and to gain funding.…”

The Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship (KSTE) explores the effects that new knowledge and proximity have on the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities and the resultant creation of start-ups. This paper aims to identify the types of knowledge spillovers that affect entrepreneurs in the early stages of start-up development. A conceptual model is proposed, using a multi-case study approach involving High-Tech start-ups that have attended accelerator and incubator programmes in Greater London, United Kingdom (UK). The research involved 32 semistructured interviews with Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and co-founders of start-up companies. Our findings suggest that entrepreneurs are influenced by various forms of knowledge spillover which assist in determining the strategic decision of the company, in terms of formation, including partnerships or alliances, allocation of Research and Development (R&D) budgets, and engagement in product innovation. Further observations confirm that High-tech start-ups focus on a fast pace of constant product innovation to cover identified gaps in the market. One significant finding is that start-ups use various technological platforms to access knowledge spillovers which challenges the ideas of geographical proximity present in existing KSTE understanding.

A comprehensive performance measurement framework for business incubation centres: Empirical evidence in an Irish context

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

During the last 20 years, there has been an increased interest among academics and practitioners in the area of business incubation. However, limited attention has been devoted to developing a comprehensive framework that can measure business incubators' performances. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an appropriate, robust and useable performance framework. In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework using a weighted fuzzy inference system for business incubation centres' (BIC) performance measurement. The proposed approach utilises the input of a Delphi panel to identify criteria and subcriteria. Then a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is used to weigh the criteria. Subsequently, a weighted fuzzy inference system is developed and applied to provide results based on the identified criteria and subcriteria. To show the proficiency and applicability of the proposed framework, a case study of Irish BICs is applied. The comprehensive performance measurement framework presented in this paper provides for accurate evaluation and monitoring across six criteria. The six criteria are facilities and infrastructure; clients; networking and marketing; products and services; finance; and human capital. The results show that although most of the BICs focus on facilities and infrastructure, there is a need to concentrate more on factors such as networking, marketing and finance. The detailed approach presented in this paper can be used by academics and practitioners who wish to apply fuzzy inference systems to performance measurement. In addition, the results from our pilot can be used by BIC managers and policymakers to improve performance.
