This book was released on 1989 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to provide a brief overview of the considerations involved in establishing a small business incubator, this guide presents information on incubator classification, funding methods, incubator operation techniques, and two-year college involvement in the formation of a working business incubator. Part 1 describes a small business incubator as a facility which provides an opportunity for new and existing small businesses to reduce some of the risk involved in operating through shared services, reasonable rent, access to administrative support services, and access to management, financial, and technical assistance. The differences between public/not-for-profit, private, academic-related, and public/private incubators are noted. Part 2 describes the phases in the creation and development process, including information on the establishment of a coordinating team and the conduct of a feasibility study. In part 3, financial considerations are reviewed, and a list of possible funding sources is provided. Part 4 lists the community/junior colleges currently associated with business incubators, and the North Carolina community colleges in the process of developing centers. This section also notes the services that community colleges can provide to developing businesses. In part 5, implementation concerns are discussed, including site acquisition, fund raising, "incubators without walls," tenant graduation, data collection needs, marketing, and the roles of the incubator manager, advisory committee, and anchor tenants. Appendixes contain a list of services incubators should provide, a sample application form for incubator tenants, a bibliography of 67 selected resources, and suggested materials for an incubator library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many businesses around the world use technology as a means to set-up, run and improve their commercial performance but not all countries have sufficient access to technology. In fact the ’digital divide' between rich and poor countries is one of the major international challenges facing our society. Technology Business Incubation describes a concept whereby technological support and services are offered to start-up companies in the fields of engineering, science and technology to help them further their own research and develop viable businesses. Aimed at developed and developing countries this concept could provide a solution in bridging the knowledge gap. Written by Rustam Lalkaka, a well-known expert in the field, the toolkit provides invaluable information for carrying out feasibility studies; preparing business plans; choosing a location; finding sponsors; selecting managers and tenants; and monitoring a technology business incubator. Annexes contain checklists and report pro formas to help prepare relevant documents based on local needs

This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: -, , course: PhD, language: English, abstract: ABSTRACT In present day economic turbulence, the new computing and communication techniques are changing our concepts of time and space, altering traditional patterns of work and spurring the growth of small entrepreneurial companies. But in both the developed and developing countries, many new ventures fail and for the few that survive and grow, there are numerous problems. A challenge, then, is to transform the traditional ways of supporting small enterprises and the related programs of international assistance - in order to make them more cost effective for today’s competitive environment. ‘Business Incubation’ is emerging as one of the most innovative instruments to support small enterprise creation and development all over the world. This is relatively a recent innovative system, derived from the earlier SME support programs but with its own distinctive characteristics. The concept of nurturing start-up and early-stage groups at managed workspaces appears straightforward but is complex in structure and execution. Incubators provide local, on the-spot diagnosis and treatment of business problems, dramatically lowering the early stage failure rate. These are essentially the programs designed to accelerate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts. In Europe, US and many countries like China, Singapore and Thailand; the concept of incubation has developed significantly. The exceptionally fast growth of business incubators all over the world has baffled even the researchers. Business incubation theories, systems, strategies and techniques are getting transformed every day. In this direction in India, following on the world pattern, several initiatives have been taken over the last decade to encourage the concept of business incubation. A scheme on establishment of ‘Technology Business Incubators’ (TBI’s) in and around academic/R&D institutions was initiated by NSTEDB (National Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board) during 2000-2001. These TBIs are being promoted to achieve objectives like: - Creation of technology based new enterprises, - Creating value added jobs & services, - Facilitating transfer of technology, - Fostering the entrepreneurial spirit, [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have seen substantial growth in the range of assistance programmes for SMEs and entrepreneurs across the world. Once regarded as peripheral to the economy and public policy, the role of small firms and of entrepreneurship is now recognized as of key importance in the economic growth and development strategies of many nations. The range of interventions and support focused on promoting SMEs and entrepreneurship is substantial and expanding, so Government, SMEs and Entrepreneurship Development asks ’what are some of the main policy instruments being used, and how effective are they?’ It considers policies in different countries, examines key interventions and tools used to promote entrepreneurship and SME development and concludes with contributions on how to best evaluate their effectiveness. The contributor chapters by academics and practitioners from businesses, enterprise development agencies and governments, are empirical or evidence-based and use both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Drawing on experience from a wide range of both developed and emerging countries and economies, the contributions focus on the broad strategies that different governments and communities have adopted to foster entrepreneurship and SMEs; the policy tools and instruments that can be used to promote small business and entrepreneurship; and on the outcomes of policy instruments and the methods used to evaluate interventions. Their findings will help researchers, policy-makers, economic development officers, civil servants, elected officials, and business associations to better understand the issues in this important field.
