Abstract:

This paper constructs and verifies the dual-path impact mechanism of the dual network embedded growth of the incubated startups. By using structural equation model and Bootstrap analysis, we conduct an empirical study of 326 new incubated start-ups in the Crowd Innovation Spaces, and find that both the business network relationship and the supportive network relationship have a positive impact on the growth of start-ups in the Crowd Innovation Spaces, and specifically, the supportive network relationship has a stronger impact. Unlike existing studies, we conclude that both selective bricolage and parallel bricolage can promote the growth of start-ups and play an intermediary role in the influence that business network relationship and supportive network relationship have on the growth of start-up. Business network relationships tend to influence the growth of start-ups through selective bricolage, while supportive network relationships tend to influence the growth of start-ups through parallel bricolage.

Key words: Business network, supportive network, selective bricolage, parallel bricolage, start-ups growth
