In the competitive global market, technology business incubators are considered to be the backbone of the economic development of a country. Technology business incubators are involved in the creation of employment opportunities, boosting the local economy, and commercializing innovative technologies. This research-in-progress will propose a framework for technology business incubators to exami...

This study examines the effectiveness of government-supported incubator programmes in China. Findings highlight the importance of private-sector involvement in the incubators’ governing body. Previous literature acknowledges the importance of government intervention in the entrepreneurial incubation process to overcome innovation market failure. However, factors that potentially influence the e...

Most studies about business incubation describe an array of available services but often fail to present the tenants’ assessment quality. We set out to investigate if business incubators differ in terms of their value proposition. To do so, we identify three distinct generations of business incubators based on different dimensions included in their value proposition. We pose the question of whe...

Despite a wealth of research on university incubators, science parks, and other attempts at commercialization, there is little consensus on the effectiveness of university-sponsored commercial innovation. We analyze the impact of incubators and other types of facilitators on the quality of innovations produced by US research-intensive academic institutions from 1969 to 2012. Using forward paten...

Most infants admitted to premature baby or neonatal surgical units are nursed in incubators during part of their stay in hospital. There are many advantages of nursing these infants in incubators, but there is also one great disadvantage, the danger of bacterial colonization and contamination inside the incubator. The temperature inside the incubator approaches that of the body and many of thes...
