Exploring the parameters for the optimum funding of Australian incubators from an incubator manager perspective

Small and medium enterprises and the effectiveness of technology business incubators in Saudi Arabia

Despite international business incubators becoming more widespread in recent years,
knowledge about the role they can play in helping a firm to enter a foreign market is limited.
Drawing upon interviews with 47 managers from 24 firms and organisations that have used an
international business incubator operated in China by UK export promotion organisation the
China-Britain Business Council, this research finds that the low risk, high control environment
offered by business incubation can reduce the overall cost of commitment for entering a foreign
market and thereby trigger a firm’s decision to enter it when such a move would otherwise be
considered too risky or costly. Furthermore, during the business incubation process, the firm is
able to benefit from an infusion of foreign market knowledge, network expansion and business
development support, which provides it with the confidence to exit the business incubator and
make a full market commitment of its own. In doing so, business incubation can the reduce the
liabilities of foreignness experienced by the firm, and give rise to an accelerated, low risk and
controlled foreign market entry process.
These findings extend theory from the international business studies literature into the domain
of business incubation. They also extend and apply theory from the business incubation
literature (until now concerned with company growth and development in home markets) to the
internationalization of the firm. The findings are particularly relevant for SMEs (small and
medium-sized enterprises) seeking ways to overcome the fears and challenges of entering into
promising but ‘difficult’ emerging markets, such as China. The findings also have implications
for policy makers seeking effective methods to support the international business and trade
activities of firms and organisations.

Business incubation as a method of foreign market entry

This paper considers incubators, innovation-supporting value networks and communities and examines how they can be used to help a SME firm to improve its bossiness. This paper pays particular attention to the importance of social capital, organizational learning, and trust in networks and to the role of incubators. Focus will be more on the way firms operate within the networks and communities to which they belong and the management challenges involved in using them to best effect. Strength of networks (especially for smaller firms) is that they offer a way of bridging gaps between what firms do and what is possible (best practice). For high-tech Company, incubator is the hub for process of their networking in the business world. High-tech incubator management includes process of management networks tangible and intangible flows.
