Correlations among Incubation Network, Cluster Social Capital and Incubation Performance

Abstract

Abstract:

In the incubation network, cluster social capital can be formed through the sharing of information, resources and channels. Incubators improve their performance by using incubation networks and cluster social capital in order to support start-ups better. On the basis of the definition of cluster social capital, this paper studies the correlation among the incubation network, cluster social capital and incubation performance, puts forward the hypothesis model, does an empirical analysis through multivariate linear regression with the 259 state-level science and technology business incubators as the sample. Results indicate that the incubation network relationship durability and strength have positive influence on cluster social capital and incubation performance, the network scale has no significant positive relationship with them; relationship and cultural dimensions of cluster social capital have positive influence on incubation performance; cluster social capital plays a partial intermediary role between incubation network and performance.

Key words: incubation network, cluster social capital, incubation performance
