Full textConsidering the entrepreneurship university context, the business incubators are a kind of locus that holds entrepreneurs, helping them to make their projects come true via the establishment of small companies. Being inside university business incubator means to have easy access and stimulated collaboration with the University. It could be asked which effects the incubation process brings to a university that holds a business incubator and, on the other hand, which advantages could be reached by a startup company settled inside an incubator. In order to support the analysis of these kinds of questions, the objective of this research is to analyze the interactions university-industry that occurs in a university business incubator. This study considers the incubation environment at UNISINOS University (located in the southern Brazil), called UNITEC, throw data collected using a questionnaire that was submitted to companies that were resident at UNITEC incubation environment at the year 2009. This whole study considers the point of view of 15 companies that were passed through incubation process, including incubated companies and also graduated ones. From the obtained results, it´s possible to indentify: the partnerships among resident companies, the recurring monthly income of incubated companies, the low level of indebtedness of all companies and, the technical information exchange among the companies, as effects from the incubation process in the resident companies. It´s also to indentify that the lectures by entrepreneurs at university classes, the students visits at companies and, consultancy services by students, as the main effects of the incubation process at the University. Besides that, it´s possible to realize that entrepreneurs from the incubated and graduated companies diverge in most questions.

Full texts (1998) three dimensions of social capital (structural, relational and cognitive) were investigated in a business incubator located in a university science park. This thesis tries to answer five questions for the incubator context: (1) What are the antecedents of the three dimensions of social capital? (2) What are the benefits of social capital for the tenant firms? (3) How are the dimensions of social capital related to the antecedents and benefits? (4) What are the effects of being located in a university on social capital development between the firms and the host university? and (5) What is the role of the incubator management/specialists on social capital creation? The research questions were investigated in two layers: (1) Social capital development among tenant firms, and (2) Social capital development between the tenant firms and the host university. The research was designed with a multi-method approach along four steps. In the first step, the selected incubator was observed for a day. In the second stage, a pilot interview was conducted with one of the tenant firms. Next the firms were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their demographic characteristics. In the last stage, a theoretical sample of nine selected firms&rsquo
owners were interviewed. All the collected data were analyzed following the grounded theory approach (Strauss and Corbin, 1990) and seven propositions were developed to be investigated in further research.

Full textThis thesis aims to draw a profile of university entrepreneurs today actives in business incubators and junior companies. Therefore, we conducted a qualitative research with engineering students (members of the POLI-Junior), and entrepreneurs engaged in technological innovation (incubated in CIETEC). After a brief introduction, in the first chapter, we try to conceptualize who are the entrepreneurs. Also, we display some data about the recent expansion in the creation of business incubators and junior companies in Brazil. In the second chapter, we made a review of the available literature from the contributions that the economy and the sociology of knowledge gave the theme. We prefer to frame the research problem in the field theory. In the third chapter, the topic of the thesis is situated in the historical framework of public policies for S&T and the trajectory of Brazilian research community. In the fourth chapter, we present the sample and the scope of research, the methods and techniques employed in the empirical research. We also launched hypothesis according to which entrepreneurship represent the new face of recent attempts to university reforms and closer relations between research and market. In the fifth chapter, we present and analyze the results of observations and interviews, through which we test our hypotheses. Finally, we close the work with a brief conclusion, where our contributions are summarized and where we reflect about the extensions and limitations of this thesis.

Full textO Terceiro Setor no Brasil tem se reconfigurado de modo a se aproximar dos negócios de impacto social e de suas respectivas instituições de apoio. Essas organizações híbridas visam enfrentar problemas socioambientais a partir de modelos de negócios regidos sob a égide de mecanismos de mercado. Diferem de organizações não governamentais por não dependerem de recursos de filantropia ou doações; não se enquadram como empresas tradicionais por terem como medida principal de sucesso o impacto social de suas ações, e não o lucro; se distanciam das iniciativas de responsabilidade social empresarial pelo fato de que suas intervenções não são guiadas pela busca de mitigação de uma externalidade negativa ou de ações desassociadas do core business empresarial. A tese analisa as incubadoras universitárias que acolhem os negócios de impacto social. Elas são instituições burocráticas com natureza e interconexões com relevante complexidade e que podem conformar categorias tipológicas orientadas pela natureza de suas mantenedoras - privadas, públicas e comunitárias. A pesquisa é comparativa e multicasos cujo percurso metodológico agrega insumos históricos, teórico-conceituais, análise institucional e pesquisa de campo aplicada junto a gestores de incubadoras: oito inquiridos (representando quatro incubadoras) via interlocução direta e outros 26 por interlocução indireta com aplicação de formulário eletrônico à distância (25 incubadoras). Às de mantenedoras comunitárias demostraram melhor performance na execução de processos operacionais, gerenciais e estratégicos (manutenção e investimento de infraestrutura; despesas correntes, elaboração de documentos jurídicos, contratação de pessoal; mudança de posicionamento estratégico), dentre outros atributos associados a parâmetros internacionais de desempenho de incubadoras empresariais, cultura empreendedora universitária, e flexibilidade na elaboração de programas de incubação a novos nichos de mercado (inclusive negócios de impacto social).
Brazilian Third Sector has been reconfigured to approach the social businesses and their respective support institutions. Social entreprises are hybrid organizations that seek to address socio-environmental problems based on business models governed by market mechanisms. They differ from non-governmental organizations because they do not rely on philanthropic resources or donations; they do not fit as traditional companies because they have as main success measure the social impact of their actions, not only profit; they distance themselves from corporate social responsibility initiatives because of the fact that their positive results do not come from mitigating a negative externality or from actions that are core business disassociated. The thesis analyzes the university business incubators that host such startups social businesses. They are bureaucratic institutions with complex nature and interconnections, that can conform typological modalities guided by the nature of their maintainers - private, public and community. The research is comparative and multicases with a methodological route that aggregates historical, theoretical-conceptual inputs, institutional analysis and research with incubator managers: eight respondents (representing four incubators) as direct interlocutors and 26 others as indirect interlocutors that were reached by electronic form application at a distance (representing 25 incubators). The university business incubators with community maintainers demonstrated a better performance in the execution of operational, managerial and strategic processes (maintenance and investment of infrastructure; current expenses, preparation of legal documents, hiring of personnel; change of strategic positioning), among other attributes associated with international incubators performance parameters, entrepreneurial culture, flexibility of incubation of new market niches (including social entreprises).

This research is structured on three relevant phenomena in the contemporary economy, entrepreneurship, innovation and university-industry relationships, converging elements in the environment of technology-based business incubators. Considering that the justify to the creation of this type of incubator is the endorsement to its own context, the problem which guided the research questions was the effectiveness of the Technology Incubator of Caxias do Sul (ITEC) in the promotion of these three factors of economical development. ITEC was selected due to its relationship with the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS), one of its supporting entities, and also due to the fact that it is a unique initiative in the northeastern region of Rio Grande do Sul, one of the economically most important regions of the state. The methodology applied in the research was the case study, based on the bibliographic and documental investigation, making use of semi-structured interviews as main sources of information. Besides the incubator s management staff, representatives of all companies currently incubated, and representatives of approximately 80% of the graduated companies in activity were interviewed. The study sought to delineate the context related to entrepreneurship, innovation and university-industry relationships, which insert ITEC and, at the same time, it sought to describe the performance of ITEC in the promotion of these elements. For this, it was made use of the teaching-learning perspective respectively, while the development conditions offered by the incubator to the companies and the management practices adopted by them. The results suggest that, particularly in the recent past, the incubator has become an important mechanism for the endorsement of the mentioned context, and at the same time, it indicates the existence of a great potential to be explored, mainly in terms of innovation and university-industry relationships.

This thesis aims to analyze university extension projects, directed to solidarity popular economy. This way of doing economics has been expressed as an international movement, and that here, in Brazil, is mostly perceived in public universities since the mid-90s of last century, from the Technological Incubators of Popular Cooperatives (ITCPs), which are a university extension program and that encourage solidarity and popular projects, seeking to exercise self-management. The research sought to answer the following question: what educational components are present in the extension developed by incubators of solidarity popular enterprises? The basic hypothesis is that the university extension developed by popular incubators presents ethical, theoretical and methodological components which converge with basic elements to popular education. The research was qualitative in nature, based on the theory of historical materialism, assuming the materialist dialectics as a method of analysis, prioritizing the contradiction category. Based on Marxist analysis, however, this research emphasized the interpretation, setting up what is called a dialectical hermeneutics. It took part of the empirical field of the research four incubators, namely INCUBACOOP/ UFRPE, ITCP/COPPE/UFRJ, ITCP/USP and INCUBES/UFPB. It was used as a technique for data collection, documents produced by the incubators and semistructured interviews, strengthening the documentary analysis. The data showed that the incubators of solidarity popular projects present themselves as a new and rich proposal of extension, able to build concrete possibilities of a transformative praxis, based on the ethical principles of dialogue, appreciation of the cultures of others, participation and listening, this is, consideration of the speaking of others; and yet, based in the utopian principles of autonomy, self-management and human emancipation, present in popular education. Paradoxically, the implementation of these educational acts revealed professionals that although were already working in the solidarity economy, ignored the theoretical-methodological bases of the educational proposal of incubator, it also revealed a verticalized internal structure and consequent centralization of the power of decisions within it, besides the methodological sight of incubation simply summarized to techniques.
A presente tese tem como objetivo analisar projetos de extensão universitária, direcionados à economia popular solidária. Esse jeito de fazer economia tem se expressado como um movimento internacional, e que aqui no Brasil, passa pelas universidades públicas, desde meados da década de 90 do século passado, a partir de Incubadoras Tecnológicas de Cooperativas Populares (ITCPs), as quais se tratam de um programa de extensão universitária e que incentivam empreendimentos populares e solidários, buscando exercitar a autogestão. A pesquisa procurou responder a seguinte questão: que componentes educativos encontram-se presentes na extensão desenvolvida por incubadoras de empreendimentos solidários populares? A hipótese básica é que a extensão universitária desenvolvida pelas incubadoras populares apresenta componentes éticos e teórico-metodológicos convergentes com elementos que fundamentam a educação popular. A pesquisa foi de natureza qualitativa, tendo como caminho teórico o materialismo histórico, assumindo-se a dialética materialista como método de análise, priorizando a categoria contradição. Baseando-se na análise marxista, contudo, tal pesquisa enfatizou a interpretação, configurando-se o que se denomina de uma hermenêutica-dialética. Fizeram parte do campo empírico da pesquisa quatro incubadoras, a saber: INCUBACOOP/UFRPE, ITCP/COPPE/UFRJ, ITCP/USP e INCUBES/UFPB. Foram utilizadas como técnica de coleta de dados, documentos produzidos pelas incubadoras e a entrevista semiestruturada, fortalecendo a análise documental. Os dados evidenciaram que as incubadoras de empreendimentos populares solidários se apresentam como uma nova e rica proposta extensionista, capaz de construir possibilidades concretas de uma práxis transformadora, baseada nos princípios éticos do diálogo, da valorização da cultura do outro, da participação e da escuta; e, ainda, nos princípios utópicos da autonomia, da autogestão e da emancipação humana, presentes na educação popular. Contraditoriamente, a implementação dessas ações educativas revelou profissionais que, embora já estivessem atuando na economia solidária, desconheciam a fundamentação teórico-metodológica da proposta educativa da incubadora; revelou também estrutura interna verticalizada e consequente centralização do poder decisório no seu interior, além da visão metodológica de incubação simplesmente resumida a técnicas.

Resumo: A ideia de transferência de conhecimento sempre esteve presente na relação entre universidade e sociedade. Ela está na origem do termo extensão e segue presente em toda a sua trajetória histórica. A partir dessa constatação, esta tese tem como objetivo central compreender as origens e as conseqüências da ideia de transferência de conhecimentos na atuação das ITCPs, compreendidas na trajetória histórica da extensão do país. Reconhecidamente, a primeira ITCP surge derivada da ideia das incubadoras de empresas, mas, em cada local, elas se conformam a partir da reorganização da extensão incentivada pelo processo de redemocratização que havia passado o país, da mobilização da universidade diante do desemprego e, por fim, do aumento do financiamento no governo Lula. Esses fatores levam parte da extensão a um novo caminho que tem como centro a geração de trabalho e renda e a utopia da autogestão. Com intuito de compreender a ideia de transferência de conhecimento, dois referenciais teórico-metodológicos foram utilizados de maneira complementar: a Educação e os Estudos Sociais da Ciência e da Tecnologia (ESCT). No campo da educação, foram abordadas as contribuições de educadores que partem de uma reflexão teórica sobre a relação entre universidade, trabalhadores e trabalhadoras combinada com a prática educativa no âmbito da extensão. Os autores são Paulo Freire, Michel Thiollent e Orlando Fals Borda. Buscou-se compreender, por meio deles, de que maneira a ideia de transferência de conhecimento se relaciona com um tipo específico de tutela, via conhecimento, entre educandos e educadores. A partir dos ESCT, campo acadêmico multidisciplinar que surge no contexto do pós-guerra, buscou-se compreender a relação entre conhecimento tecnocientífico e o setor produtivo, principalmente, a partir da negação do modelo ofertista de conhecimento. Tendo como fundamento a assertiva de que a ciência e a tecnologia são construções sociais, aprofundou-se a crítica à ideia de transferência de conhecimento por meio de três ideias-força: o conhecimento não é neutro, o conhecimento não gera apenas benefícios para a sociedade e o conhecimento não se transfere. Por fim, com intuito de contribuir com o processo de reflexão-ação das incubadoras, apontamos algumas reflexões e sugestões para tornar viável o potencial das mesmas como aglutinadoras do processo de politização da universidade. Nesse sentido, apontamos alguns caminhos do que acreditamos ser fazer ciência (e tecnologia) politizada, como almejava Oscar Varsavsky, ou Adequação Sociotécnica com o povo, como preconiza Renato Dagnino. Nessa perspectiva, consideramos que as ITCPs como potenciais articuladoras de ações de ensino, pesquisa e extensão com vistas a produzir conhecimento e formar pessoas a partir de uma lógica para além do capital
Abstract: The idea of knowledge transfer has always been present in the relationship between universities and society. It is at the heart of the term 'extension' and has remained present since its inception. From this observation, this thesis aims to understand the origins and the consequences of the idea of knowledge transfer in the field of Technological Incubators of Popular Cooperatives (ITCPs) throughout the history of extension in the country. Admittedly, the first ITCP arose from the idea of enterprise incubators, but in each location, they were formed from the reorganization of the extension, encouraged by the process of democratization that Brazil had recently been through, the mobilization of universities against unemployment and, finally, the increase of funding during Lula's presidency. These factors took a part of extension in a new direction that has at its center the generation of work and income and the utopia of self-management. In order to understand the idea of knowledge transfer, two theoretical and methodological tools were used in a complementary way: Education and the Social Studies of Science and Technology (SSTS). In the field of Education, this thesis addresses the contributions of educators who have done a theoretical analysis of the relationship between universities and workers combined with educational practice in the context of extension. The authors are Paulo Freire, Michel Thiollent and Orlando Fals Borda. We sought to understand, through the aforementioned educators, how the idea of knowledge transfer relates to a specific type of tutelage, via knowledge, among learners and educators. From the SSTS, a multidisciplinary academic field that arose in the context of the post-war period, we strove to determine the relationship between techno-scientific knowledge and the productive sector, especially from the denial of the model of supply and demand of knowledge. Using as a basis the assertion that science and technology are social constructions, this body of work deepens the critique of the idea of knowledge transfer through three key points: knowledge is not neutral, knowledge does not stop at generating benefits for society and knowledge is not transferred. Finally, in order to contribute to the process of reflection-action of the incubators, we provide some suggestions so that their potential, as agglutinating of the process of politicization of the university, is viable. In this regard, we indicate some ways of what we believe politicized science (and technology) should be like, as Oscar Varsavsky aimed for, or Sociology-technical Adequacy with the people, as advocated by Renato Dagnino. From this perspective, we considered ITCPs as potential vehicles for teaching, research and extension in order to produce knowledge and train people beyond the logic of capital

Since the end of the nineteenth century, when they started to become popular, cooperatives are generating important debates. From the 70's, with the crisis of the Fordist production and the restructuring of production in the world, with the unemployment s growth and the loss of social rights linked to the formal work, the cooperativism resurfaces now, renovated as a alternative proposal of "other economy" within capitalism and as a possible overcoming. We analyzed the perception of workers in Solidarity Economy s cooperatives. We tried to see how the workers understand the meaning of self-management, how she(he) internalizes the ideas proposed by the Solidarity Economy s movement. At the same time, we decided to analyze gender relations in the cooperatives studied, which are formed mostly of women, and if the involvement with the proposal resulted in changes in daily work and home life. We investigated workers of projects of the Technological Incubator of Popular Cooperatives of the Federal University of São Carlos. The research studied three cooperatives in the city of São Carlos through the techniques of interviews and observation. The results show a gap between the actual practices and the movement s proposals, which indicates the character "under construction" of the Solidarity Economy in Brazil. Gender relations have not changed, remaining the same of the ordinary companies.
Desde o final do século XIX, quando surgiram e começaram a se popularizar, as cooperativas vêm gerando debates importantes. A partir da década de 70, com a crise do modelo fordista de produção e a reestruturação produtiva em todo o mundo, com o aumento do desemprego e a perda de direitos sociais vinculados a relações de assalariamento, o cooperativismo ressurge dinamizado agora como proposta alternativa de uma outra economia dentro do capitalismo e como possível superação. Analisamos aqui a percepção das trabalhadoras(es) em empreendimentos cooperativos considerados dentro da Economia Solidária. Buscou-se verificar como as(os) trabalhadoras(es) cooperadas(os) compreendem o significado da autogestão, em que medida interiorizam o ideário solidário proposto pelo movimento da Economia Solidária. Junto com isso, nos propusemos a analisar as relações de gênero nas cooperativas formadas majoritariamente por mulheres, e se de fato o envolvimento com a proposta implicou em mudanças no cotidiano do trabalho e na vida doméstica. Foram entrevistadas(os) trabalhadoras(es) participantes de projetos da Incubadora Tecnológica de Cooperativas Populares da Universidade Federal de São Carlos. A pesquisa estudou três cooperativas da cidade de São Carlos utilizando as técnicas de entrevista e observação. Os resultados apontam para um descompasso entre as práticas efetivas e as propostas do movimento, o que indica o caráter em construção da Economia Solidária no Brasil. As relações de gênero não sofreram alterações, mantendo-se tal e qual em empresas comuns.

Esta dissertação analisa qual o tipo de extensão universitária que vem sendo praticada pelas Incubadoras Tecnológicas de Cooperativas Populares (ITCPs), compreendendo-as sob a ótica da extensão universitária, da economia solidária e da inovação social. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório descritivo, de abordagem qualitativa, e estratégia de estudos de casos múltiplos. A coleta dos dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, grupos focais, pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, além da pesquisa-participante. Para se conhecer a realidade das ITCPs, foram visitadas três incubadoras de universidades públicas brasileiras. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizado o método da triangulação dos dados aliada à Arena de Atores. Com o processamento das informações, pôde-se constatar que as ITCPs são responsáveis por oferecer às universidades mais uma opção de espaço para a extensão universitária, além de contribuir para a manutenção do princípio da indissociabilidade entre a pesquisa, o ensino e a própria extensão. O que pôde ser obtido é uma série de conclusões sobre a prática extensionista das incubadoras em economia solidária, que auxiliam na compreensão deste fenômeno. This dissertation examines what kind of university extension that has been practiced by the Technological Incubators of Popular Cooperatives (ITCPs), understanding them from the perspective of university extension, solidarity economy and social innovation. This is a descriptive exploratory study, with qualitative approach and strategy of multiple case studies. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, literature and documental research, in addition to the research participant. To know the reality of ITCPs were visited three incubators of brazilian public universities. For data analysis, we used the triangulation method of data coupled with Arena of Actors. With the processing of informations, it could be seen that the ITCPs are responsible for most universities to offer a choice of space for university extension, and ensure the maintenance of the principle of inseparability between research, teaching and university extension. What has been achieved is a number of conclusions about the practical in extension by the incubators of solidarity economy, which help in understanding this phenomenon.

Since 1992, the concept of “incubator for the entrepreneur ” has been introduced to speed up the upgrading of the infrastructure of the technical industry to increase the competitiveness of Taiwan. Currently, most of the resident enterprises inside university incubators are technology-based and are capital intensive. The major challenge is to raising money during the developing stage. The purpose of the thesis is to build the capital matching model between the entrepreneur and the investor by means of focusing on their criteria used by both entries. By utilizing the concept from the MIT technology forum and the technology capital network, the entrepreneur can formulate the structure to raise money during the developing stage, eliminating the risk, reducing investment expense that leads to success.

Full textOver the past few decades, increasing attention has been paid to the contribution of Universities of Technology towards advancing the frontiers of science and technology. However, such research is descriptive and lacks a theoretical framework. Relying on the resource-based theory and incubation models, the present research is concerned with proposing a theoretical framework for the enabling factors that influence the graduation of new technology-based firms that result from the commercialisation of research and technology through to becoming established businesses from university technology business incubators. This framework is being proposed with two major objectives in mind. The first is to identify the main enabling factors that influence the graduation of new technology-based firms within university technology business incubators, which may provide a base for university stakeholders to design an appropriate incubation programme aimed at timely and successful graduation of new technology-based firms. The second is to link the development of business ideas to enabling factors that influence their progression into graduate businesses, which may provide a better understanding of how university incubation aspects work, providing theoretical insights into the incubation process of new technology-based firms. In the theoretical framework, a number of enabling factors were identified as components of the incubation process, namely stringent selection and admission criteria, administrative and legal policies, access to financial resources, access to university entrepreneurial network/mediation, and access to organisational resources and business support services. The most significant finding of the research is that there are a number of enabling factors that influence the graduation of new technology-based firms within university technology business incubators, the most significant of which are stringent selection and admission criteria, the business support services, financial resources, university entrepreneurial network/ mediation and organisational resources. Each of these factors is grouped into three stages: the pre incubation stage, the incubation stage and the graduation stage.

Full textIn the Portuguese economic, social and labor context, many questions rise regarding the best way to face the job market, what are the ideal training levels and how high is our dependence of external factors. Questions such as these make it more complex to analyze what one needs to, after graduating, start working in the desired area while keeping some stability. My proposal aims to explore this question regarding the transition from the academic world to the professional world, with the creation of an incubador for solving briefings. First of all, this will mean a new way to frame academic content towards a more practical use. Second, it will mean a new way to promote university students, being marketing my focus for this project. The main goal is to help university marketing students from Faculdade de Ciências Humanas in Universidade Católica Portuguesa to get an opportunity in the current job market. This way, we can achieve a next step regarding their own promotion, on a personal marketing perspective, for a job they desire. Through the empirical analysis that sustains this study, and considering the specific group of interviewed people, I realize these have a similar perception to the one which gave birth to this project. In fact, not only are we dealing with a tense transition from the university to the job market, but also one can see this tension manifest itself in the two directly responsible groups. On one hand, and as the main object of study for this work, the university marketing students from Faculdade de Ciências Humanas in Universidade Católica Portuguesa as interested party in starting their career in their preferred area. On the other hand, and more as a complementary framing regarding the job market, the hiring professionals as interested party in hiring these students for their teams. This way, my proposal presents itself as what both groups acknowledge as a relevant solution for the job market.

The development of the biotechnology industry and the management of the innovation incubation centers (IICs) have been topics that receive great attention. Taiwan has invested many resources in the development of the biotechnology industry. However, there has been no clear and outstanding result so far. Among all types of small business, IICs have been focusing on incubating biotechnology related industry. The biotechnology related industry broadly covers many fields such as bio-agriculture, animal vaccines, drugs and stem cell treatment. In addition, the regulation in biotechnology related industry is very strict. This article would like to discuss whether it is possible to use the resources of IICs to meet the need of all biotechnology companies in different fields. With the case study, this article would also describe the value of IICs to biotechnology companies which engage NTUIIC services. Through organizing the published articles, this study concludes that the key factors of managing successful regular-sized IICs are the six items listed below. Take National Taiwan University Innovation Incubation Center (NTUIIC) and the biotechnology companies that engage its services for example, he study introduced the structure of the incubation system in National Taiwan University (NTU) and the relationship between NTUIIC and NTU, and focused respectively on three fields: feeding, skill service and traditional Chinese herbal medicine. This article describes three cases from the time these three biotechnology companies engaged NTUIIC services until now, the challenges these companies faced in management process, and the supports and resources provided by NTUIIC, to analyze the value of the services provided by NTUIIC to these companies. The study results show that same IICs services provided to biotechnology companies in different fields will have enormously different impact; and different biotechnology companies need different services from IICs. The most valuable asset of NTUIIC is its academic resources. With abundant and complete resources each department in NTU has, NTUIIC can therefore satisfy the needs from biotechnology companies in many different fields. However, the service NTUIIC can provide is more related to the upgrades and development in the technology itself, not the financial or marketing services.

This research is a combination of technical research and research thesis which topic on an empirical student start-up business, Hsiu. Hsiu is a new footwear brand producing creative handmade embroidered shoes in Taiwan. This start-up business has operated for 2 years (since 2012) by the researcher. Through practical experience and by documenting the incubating networks to see the relationship between incubating networks and student entrepreneurship, it was discovered that in this new venture, in addition to personal networks, the incubation center (Culture and Creativity Incubation and R&D Center) provided many opportunities for new ventures to link with external networks. This study draws on the entrepreneurial network literature to study the relationship between incubating networks and the Hsiu venture development. The entrepreneurial network is analyzed as the content is exchanged between actors, governance mechanisms in relationships, and the network structure. Four network development phases are also examined in order to explore the building process of a start-up business from its internal networks to its external networks. The basic methodologies used to achieve the research objectives are content analysis and participant observation analysis. Finally, the anticipated result provides a strategic action plan for Hsiu’s future network development.

A Study on University Spin-off Ventures A Case Study of Incubation Mechanisms in Taiwan and Japan Universities Abstract This study investigates and analyzes the development background, the current situation, and direction of future development of university spin-off ventures among universities in Taiwan and Japan. It offers concrete, feasible recommendations for problems encountered during incubation-related work. From the findings of this research, we discovered relevant lessons to be learned from university spin-off ventures. In order to achieve the purpose of this research, the researcher first collected relevant information on industrial-academic cooperation, university spin-off ventures, and university spin-off venture incubation in Taiwan and Japan to investigate the academic foundation of the incubation mechanism of university spin-off ventures. The study was conducted in two parts, including in-depth personal interviews and focus group interviews. In-depth group interviews carried out with regional industrial-academic cooperation centers in Taiwan, technology licensing organization in Taiwan universities, and university incubation centers in Japan and Taiwan provided valuable information. Interviews were conducted with five individuals dealing in industrial-academic cooperation and university spin-off venture incubation to facilitate the understanding of problems encountered during the incubation phase of university spin-off ventures. In focus group interviews, five individuals from incubation centers with outstanding records and representative of Taiwan were selected. These individuals are passionate about their work and are well-equipped with the background knowledge or have the hands-on experience necessary to understand keys points of the topic and were able to discuss their views clearly. It was the hope of the researcher that the issue could be better investigated by presenting different viewpoints and that the content of the dialog that took place within the group could be collected and used as core data. Through encoding and collating the data obtained through the in-depth individual and focus group interviews, the researcher came to understand the background development and present situation of incubation mechanisms in university spin-off ventures in Taiwan and Japan. The researcher analyzed, compared, and generalized the information which can be used as reference by relevant organizations. Furthermore, a conclusion was drawn and analysis provided to be used as reference by researchers studying university spin-off ventures and industrial-academic cooperation and by the National Science Council, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Economic Affairs when formulating and implementing policies concerned with university spin-off venture incubation mechanisms.

Taiwan's industrial structure mainly consists of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To help SMEs and new start-ups in obtaining more external technology and resources, and aid the development of enterprises, the government of Taiwan has promoted the establishment of incubation centers. Many studies have confirmed that incubation centers are an effective mechanism that encourage innovation. This study is based on an Shih Chien University Innovation Incubation Center. It intends to discuss the provision status of supporting services, usage status of incoming firms, entrepreneurial environment, organizational resources of the incubation center, and how the attributes of incoming firms impact incubation performance. By using secondary data collection and depth interviews, the following four propositions are summed up: Proposition 1. The industry environment has a positive impact on entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial performance. Proposition 2. Resource demand is the main reason for new start-ups to join the incubation center, and this demand will further affect entrepreneurial performance. Proposition 3. Different characteristics of incoming firms have different effects on incubation performance. Proposition 4. The industrial relationship between the professional domains of the incubation center and the incoming firms is conducive to improving the incubation performance. The conclusions of this study are as follows: Conclusions 1. In the entrepreneurial environment, the industrial environment is an important factor that influences the establishment and survival of startups. Conclusion 2. Improvement in cultivation content and resource acquisition ability of incubation centers can promote the performance of new ventures. Conclusion 3. Providing resources and know-how that cater to the characteristics of incoming firms can effectively improve incubation performance. Conclusion 4. Focused cultivation of related industries that hold certain advantages can effectively improve the incubation performance of incoming firms.

Most of the discussions about university-industry cooperation are related to technology transfer or incubator, and the discussions related to these two mechanisms are rare in Taiwan. Taiwan government conducted the affairs of university-industry cooperation in ten years ago, and separated these affairs into several parts for different departments to be in charge. The problems of inefficiency arise from the separation and experts from government and academy point out the necessary of integration. Although we know the necessary of integration, but there are not enough discussions of how to integrate. Initially, this thesis is going to clarify the definition and the scale of “university-industry cooperation” in Taiwan. Then the discussions will focus on the effect of integration, the factors of successful integration, service items, the situation of overlapping and complementarities. This thesis concludes the opinions from experts as below. First, it is necessary to integrate. Second, the key factors of successful integration are the supports of policies from universities and government, the definitude of duty, and the importance of personnel, especially the director. Neither TTO nor incubator equips with professional services. TTO is lack of the capability of evaluation and active promotion and incubator is lack of the capability of commercialization supporting. The direction of integration should be the sharing of R&D information, the support of professional consultant, the improvement of capability of evaluation and commercialization, and the cooperation of training course.
