TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided an assessment framework of technology incubators in the science park, using business development data of six technology start-ups in the Hong Kong Science Park, the framework is then applied to examine the effectiveness of incubators from the perspective of venture creation and development process.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the longitudinal use of the unique resources of the USI by HTBFs at different lifecycle stages, and find that a HTBF's propensity to make effective use of its resources and support increases as the lifecycle stage of the company increases and the small-firm searches for independence and autonomy.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether companies located on university science parks in the United Kingdom have higher research productivity than observationally equivalent firms not located on a university science park, and the preliminary results appear to be consistent with this hypothesis and are robust to the use of alternative econometric procedures to assess relative productivity.
TL;DR: In this article, a panel analysis suggests that the differences between knowledge-based and traditional firms with respect to personal networking are reduced over time, when compared with traditional firms, by investing more time in networking and also building more focused networks.
Abstract: The commercialization of high technology and professional knowledge is often organized by individuals and firms within networks. Operational models of the personal network entrepreneurs build both individually (egocentric networks) and collectively as members of the small–firm clusters (sociocentric networks), which are presented and applied to Swedish data. Entrepreneurs in knowledge–based firms, when compared with traditional firms, invest more time in networking and also build more focused networks. Academic entrepreneurs in science parks establish less dense local networks than traditional entrepreneurs in the industrial districts. A panel analysis suggests that the differences between knowledge–based and traditional firms with respect to personal networking are reduced over time.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of universities in the transfer of technology using a unique university-level dataset for Spain and found that universities with established policies and procedures for the management of technology transfer perform better.
