The university and business incubation: technology transfer through entrepreneurial development
1988
Hisrich, R.D. | Smilor, R.W.
This paper reviews university programs that seek to promote technology transfer through entrepreneurial development. It describes four key factors (talent, technology, capital and know-how) that must be linked for successful transfer, and focuses on the new-business incubator as an important mechanism for synergizing these factors in the university. The paper also shows how the incubator supports the development of new technology companies by helping them build credibility, shorten the learning curve, and solve problems faster, and by providing access to entrepreneurial networks. Empirical data on selected university incubators are presented.
