Technology Entrepreneurship and Business Incubation analyzes business incubators worldwide through a series of empirical and theoretical papers. The authors examine the extent to which business incubators are influential in situations such as nurturing young technology firms, increasing success of new firms, and in developing an ecosystem around these successes. Also examined is the relationship between business incubators and their resource providers, including venture capitalist firms and government agencies.Edited by Phillip Phan (Johns Hopkins Carey Business School), Sarfraz Mian (State University of New York at Oswego), and Wadid Lamine (Toulouse Business School), all leading figures in the field, this book provides both a theoretical framework to conceptualise ideas and a practical guide to influence best practices and innovation in business incubators.

"This second edition brings up-to-date some exciting research. Artificial incubation of birds eggs can be very confusing for the beginner. There are many old wives tales about how this or that should be done and it seems that if you need some advice on a particular point, every person you speak to gives a slightly different answer. Over the past few years during the winter months I have given courses on incubation at Birdworld. During these courses, I made a note of the main questions that were asked. Often it was the basic ideas and procedures which produced the main confusion. Using this information together with my experience of incubation from the incubation Research Station at Birdworld, I sat down and wrote this book. My aim was to provide an easy-to-read text on incubation for the beginner." -- Taken from the Preface by Rob Harvey.
