| Notes | Introduction: An Overview of the Research -- Business Incubation -- Entrepreneurship, Opportunities and Entrepreneurial Learning -- Research Methods -- The INNOSPACE Experience -- The Role of Prior Knowledge in Opportunity Identification -- Learning and Opportunity Development in INNOSPACE -- Discussion: The INNOSPACE Community of Practice -- Conclusion: Contribution, Implications and Future Research -- Postscript: Creating and Managing a University-based Incubator This book introduces concepts of business incubation and suggests a learning process. This process begins with prior knowledge at the opportunity identification phase, progresses through the acquisition of new skills and knowledge necessary to develop an opportunity and concludes with a transformation phase where new knowledge is acted upon. The book draws on extensive qualitative data and documentary evidence from a range of stakeholders associated with a University Business Incubator known as Innospace. The process of opportunity development within the business incubator is explored by combining experiential and social learning theories as heuristic tools. Presented implications for policy-makers and incubator managers are that attention and scarce resources should be focused on providing relevant information and encouraging an atmosphere of learning and mutual support. Recruitment practices should be revised to include a more holistic appreciation of potential incubatees contribution to the Business Incubation learning community as well as an assessment of their business plans. For policy makers the book suggests that successful business incubators do not necessarily require a large financial investment in state-of-the-art premises and technology. Appropriate management training together with carefully selected incubatees can create an effective learning community where opportunities are developed and transformed into enterprises and individuals into entrepreneurs HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-62962-5 |
