Abstract

Corporations, universities, governments, and other large organisations sponsor business incubation centres to support entrepreneurship and new venturing. These organisations expect certain performance outcomes from their incubation centres. Incubator programmes can be established through partnerships or as part of a Triple Helix approach, involving multiple sponsorship organisations. However, it is still unclear how the governance of a multiple sponsorship configuration affects business incubation performance and design.
