“…Only recently, research focusing primarily on the phenomenon of business incubators themselves gained traction. We identified a few recent bibliometric and review studies regarding the field of business incubation in general (Albort-Morant and Ribeiro-Soriano 2016; Hackett and Dilts 2004;Mian et al 2016;Phan et al 2005) and one such study regarding university incubators in particular (McAdam et al 2006). Each provides some important insights into and overviews of the topic, but at the same time leaves some equally important questions unaddressed.…”

A long and rich research tradition exists on the phenomenon of business incubators since this kind of venture support institution first emerged. One can observe an increasing heterogeneity of incubation beyond the traditional mainstream focus on regional development and university-based incubators. In the last decade, in particular the phenomenon of accelerators as a particular form of incubators received increasing research interest. A few literature reviews started summarizing the field, but left some important issues unanswered. This systematic review study contributes to this effort deriving current themes and a research agenda. We find that open innovation and social capital theory increasingly complement the resource-based view as frameworks to understand business incubation. Moreover, the phenomenon of private corporate incubators and accelerators gains traction, both in entrepreneurship theory and practice.

“…Na uwagę zasługuje fakt, iż przeciętna organizacja inkubująca podmioty z sektora MSP w Chinach współpracuje ze znacznie większą liczbą podmiotów gospodarczych od ośrodków tego typu w innych krajach. Średni inkubator przedsiębiorczo-ści obejmuje procesem wsparcia ok. 60 przedsiębiorstw, przy czym można znaleźć również organizacje wspomagające nawet do 150 przedsięwzięć 44 . Na podstawie analizy literatury przedmiotu należy zauważyć, iż instytucje inkubujące podmioty gospodarcze w Chinach mają trudniejsze zadanie niż w przypadku organizacji zlokalizowanych w innych krajach.…”

“…The main contributions provided by entrepreneurial networking lie in the possibility of supplying new ideas and information that support the growth of small firms, as mentioned by McAdam et al [34]. Entrepreneurial networks facilitate the formation of alliances with reputable partners, and this can influence the credibility and reputation of the firm.…”

“…We decided that it was worth inquiring whether on-park or off-park firms are preferred at the moment of establishing formal relationships (referring to partnerships or mixed research units in this study). McAdam et al [34] emphasise an important avenue of research in relation to the social support services provided by science parks; i.e., the entrepreneurial network. Clustering effects include access to knowledge resources and the venture capitalist attraction that is related to the incubator image and the provision of credibility as well as the generation of collective knowledge and learning among its member firms [27].…”

Science parks are institutions that support the creation and development of high technology-based companies. They 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. Although Spain is among the countries that have been investing heavily in these institutions, there is lack of feedback from the tenant companies' perspective with respect to the value added that they receive from science parks. The objective of this study is to evaluate the services that the Barcelona Science Park offers to its tenants by gathering information from the companies currently located in the park and those that have graduated. By comparing the results obtained from the two groups of companies, incubated and graduated, we examine whether the opinions differ about their appreciation of the services that they benefited from during their stay in the Park than those currently remaining.
