“…In relation to size, we find that smaller firms benefit much more than large firms from park location, which is in line with Huang et al (2012). Regarding innovation effort, it should be noted that firms with no internal innovation efforts do not benefit from being located in a STP.…”

“…On the one hand, we contribute to the academic debate about which firms benefit more from location in an innovative environment. There are grounds for arguing that the internal innovation capabilities of firms influence the benefits achieved from location in an innovative environment (Lazerson and Lorenzoni 1999;Giuliani 2005; Hervas-Oliver and Albors-Garrigos 2009), although there is no agreement about the direction of the influence (Forman et al 2008;Huang et al 2012). On the other hand, we make a step forward in analyzing STPs' influence on firms' innovation outcomes, allowing for heterogeneous, non-linear effects contingent on firms' size and innovation efforts.…”

“…To our knowledge, only Huang et al (2012) suggest that the effects are heterogeneous. They focus on the Taiwanese Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) industry, and allow for differing STP effects depending on the size and internal R&D capability of firms.…”

The aim of this work is to analyse the heterogeneous effect of Science and Technology Parks (STPs) on firms' innovation outcomes, contingent on firms' size and innovation effort. Despite the worldwide diffusion of STPs and the increasing literature aimed at analyzing their effect on tenants' performance, empirical evidence on the heterogeneous effect of STPs location on different firms is very scarce. We use information for a representative sample of 39,722 Spanish firms, 653 of them located on 22 of the 25 official Spanish STP. Results show, on the one hand, that firm size is negatively related to an STP location effect and, on the other, that only a small amount of internal innovation effort is required to achieve a very high return from park location.However, firms without innovation efforts do not benefit from a park location. Finally, as internal innovation efforts increase, the park effect reduces, but is still at a high level.

“…In a similar vein, most science parks are policy--driven and initiated by government support, whereas spontaneous situations such as Silicon Valley and its replication in Cambridge did not exist at first but were established as a result of later initiatives (Storey and Tether, 1998;Chiesa and Chiaroni, 2005;Huang et al, 2012). The classification of spontaneous and policy--driven science parks can be also referred to with a controversial question about which occurs first: science parks or an established local economic and technology development environment (Appold, 2004).…”

The emergence of science parks is a relatively new phenomenon in China. Apart from the widely debated topics of university--industry linkages, collaboration among firms and spontaneous/policy--driven science parks, the development of science parks in China also has several distinguishing characteristics, such as their ambiguous linkage with urban expansion and their hierarchical structuring pattern. This paper attempts to discuss the motivation and efficiency of spatial proximity in science park development and to explore the role of universities in science parks, the function of science parks as a government project and a case study of location choice by on--site firms. The qualitative analysis, based on in--depth interviews with tenant firm managers and district--level government officers in Jiangning, Nanjing, is used as a basis for discussion.

“…Thus in order to foster entrepreneurship based research and development science parks need to understand their vital role pertaining to value chain (Phan et al, 2005). However, science parks are policy driven; government sponsored initiatives whereas others originate from spontaneous clusters (Huang et al, 2012). Today Science Parks are being perceived to be beneficial for high tech small and medium sized enterprises which are considered as the new engine of growth.…”

The purpose of this paper is to identify and explore the various range of business incubation services being provided to the nascent entrepreneurs which is based on comprehensive compilation and subsequent analysis of literature followed by case based approach in context to Indian higher educational institute (HEI) based business incubation centres. The objective behind this research is to critically assess the assistance services and to prioritize the service dimensions provided by the business incubation centres. Data has been collected from various business incubation centres to capture the experience of the incubated clients and other stakeholders who are directly and indirectly attached to the business incubation centres. The novelty of this paper is that there is no available literature that has followed a similar approach in measuring most influential business incubation service parameters taking different HEI based Indian incubation centres. Statistical analysis has been deployed for investigation of service dimensions and prioritized it accordingly as well as a model has been proposed with the identified service dimension that influences the creation of the new ventures. The findings suggests that HEI based business incubation centres are providing services to emerging economies by leveraging talent and thus creating value. The findings have both entrepreneurial and managerial implications for decision makers in universities, industry and government. The management of incubators, entrepreneurs as well as researchers can take input from this study in order to accomplish effective service management for scalable ventures.
