Abstract

In the academic literature, incubators are mainly described in a normative and causal manner. The purpose of this article is to analyze the startup phase of an incubator from the perspective of bricolage. This research explores how bricolage practices enable resource-limited incubators to survive in a highly competitive environment. The research method is qualitative and based on an in-depth case study. Twenty-three semi-structured interviews were conducted (4 with support staff and 19 with incubatees). The results show that bricolage was used for selection and support practices, which ultimately influenced the incubator?s strategy.
