“…As highlighted in Figure 1 above, despite the differences in incubator types, BIEs have common characteristics (Bliemel et al, 2016; Dempwolf et al, 2014). They all promote start-up and growth of ‘high growth potential’ business start-ups (Al-Mubaraki, 2008; McAdam & Marlow, 2007; Wynarczyk & Raine, 2005). They are characterised by similar traits such as co-location, shared services, management and networking that could lead to low transaction costs for tenants (Kuratko & Hodgetts, 2004; Lalkaka, 2002; Peters, Rice, & Sundararajan, 2004).…”

Entrepreneurship is an engine for economic development worldwide (Kelley, Singer, & Herrington 2016). For developing economies, the importance of entrepreneurship is associated with increased productivity and reduction in the rising unemployment rates, particularly among the youths. Consequently, several models and support programmes have been designed to facilitate successful entrepreneurial activities amongst youth. The article discusses the business acceleration model of the Global Business Labs (GBL) which is replicated in Botswana, Namibia and Uganda based on a Swedish model, between 2012 and 2015 but failed in Mozambique and Zambia. Using a multiple case study method, this article presents the results of a crosscountry case analysis of the GBL programme with a view to understand the emergence of a business accelerator. Despite replication of the programme in respect of concepts, materials and operational systems, the cases reveal variations in operational experiences and acceleration performance across the five countries. Using the emergence theory, the article highlights these differences. The major contribution of the study to theory, in determining how business accelerators come into being, includes the duality of intentions and exchange between key stakeholders and the resource burst as a triggering mechanism in developing countries. The study further informs development of a model for successful business acceleration launch and subsequent performance for developing economies.

The goal of this study was to look at the start-up ecosystem and entrepreneurial environment among tribal youth in the Tribal Sub-Plan area of Southern Rajasthan by assessing their predicament and working conditions. The study looked at the obstacles, challenges and possibilities that start-ups and new enterprises face, as well as how they may be used to create economic, political and social change by helping society towards a knowledge-based economy. The study’s goal is to underline the vital role of start-ups, and instead of seeing start-ups and challenges as two separate things, we may connect the two and ‘use’ start-ups to solve these problems, specifically by innovating in areas where tribal society’s most pressing problems exist.

Objectives: The purpose of this research is to analyze and identify the challenges and opportunities of innovation and incubators programs and their potential use worldwide. Prior work: Discussed innovation and incubators as a powerful tool for knowledgebased economy from different perspectives using different criteria to measure the key performance indicators of best practices for innovation in the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and Gulf Cooperation Council States (GCC). The results are part of the ongoing research project funded by a grant from the Kuwait Foundation for Advancement of Sciences (KFAS-2012(KFAS- -1103. Approach: The methodology is based on quantitative approach (survey questionnaire) and literature review. Results: This paper provides several recommendations for the international implementation of innovation and incubators outcomes. Implications: This paper provides value-added knowledge for both academics and practitioners who are interested in the successful adaptation of innovation and incubators. Value: The authors believe that this paper demonstrates an added value to the current literature on innovation and incubators and fills the gap in the case studies in the literature of developed and developing countries and presents a more comprehensive analysis of progress and challenges to knowledge-based economies.
