摘要:The article examines cooperation patterns of firms located in German business incubators
(BIs) and technology centers. Based on cross-sectional data, the study explores the
network activities within the tenant portfolio and the academic-industry linkages of the
tenant firms. In this respect, we contribute to the literature on the impact of business incubation
by explicitly considering differences regarding cooperation patterns between
diversified and specialized incubator facilities. Contrary to common assumptions, we do
not find a higher propensitiy for incubator-internal cooperation activities for firms located
in specialized BIs. However, firms located in specialized BIs show significantly
higher propensity to engage in academic-industry linkages compared to firms located in
diversified incubators.
