Performance Factors for Successful Business Incubators in Indonesian Public Universities

“…The factors studied in this research include the abilities of business incubators (Smilor, 1987;Costa-David et al, 2002;Verma, 2004), incubator governance (Campbell, 1989;Hannon, 1995;Verma, 2004), entry criteria (Campbell, 1985;Smilor and Gill, 1986;Campbell, 1989;Costa-David et al, 2002;Verma, 2004;Hackett and Dilts, 2004;Hutabarat, 2014), exit criteria (Costa-David et al, 2002;Verma, 2004), mentoring and networking (Campbell, 1985;Costa-David et al, 2002;Verma, 2004;Hackett and Dilts, 2004;Aerts et al, 2007), funding and support (Campbell, 1985;Costa-David et al, 2002;Verma, 2004), government support and protection (Smilor, 1987;Mian, 1997;Lee et al, 1999;Chandra and Chao, 2011;Wilson, 2012;Wolf 2017), university regulations (Smilor, 1987;Gibson, 1988;Mian, 1997;Carayannis et al, 2006;Chandra and Chao, 2011;Wonglimpiyarat, 2016), and system infrastructure (Hackett and Dilts, 2004;O'Neal, 2005;Carayannis et al, 2006). A structural model of all the factors to be assessed from the performance of successful business incubators in public universities in Indonesia is shown in…”

Nurturing Business Sustainability and Innovation

“…According to Coe, Helpman and Hoffmaister (2009), the characteristic of country in providing support and assistance will influence a firm's decision to invest in innovation technologies. For instance, the study by Wonglimpiyarat (2016) has shown that the strong policy by Israeli government to create excellent infrastructure such as Silicon Wadi which is a similar to Silicon Valley in the United States was significant to ensure the success of industrial growth and economic activities.

Socio-Economic Performance of Manufacturing Companies in Urban Ghana

“…Statistically, the analysis reveals that 100% increase in the use of this practice reduces the profit margin of the companies by 10.3% and this was significant at 0.05. The reason for this state of affairs according to Wonglimpiyarat, (2016) is the high cost of these machines, which eventually increases total cost of production.…”

“…The analysis also revealed that having environmental and waste management policy including reuse and recycling is likely to increase profit margin by 2.1%, which was significant at 0.05 with p-value of 0.000. Earlier study by Wonglimpiyarat, (2016) has established that having environmental policy in a company would keep employees informed about their environmental roles and responsibilities. It also improves cost control, reduces incidents that result in liability, conserves raw materials and energy, improves monitoring of environmental impacts and lastly improves the efficiency of processes (EnvironmentalManagementSystem.com.au 2010.…”

“…These innovations were found to have the potential to reduce cost and reinforce the competitiveness of EU industries, because 'clean' technologies developed in Europe have become successful export products in the world. It has been established that policies induced by environmental innovations have directly and indirectly engendered, competitiveness, growth and job creation in the companies (Wonglimpiyarat, 2016). These writers have also observed that European Commission had estimated that the total commercial value of eco-innovative products and technologies in sustainable construction, renewable energy, bio-based products and recycling in the EU could grow from €92 billion in 2006 to €259 billion in 2020, thereby creating more than 2.4 million new jobs.…”
