Abstract(s)
Nesta tese, propomos analisar o desempenho das incubadoras de empresas. Para tal fim estudamos a efetividade do processo de incubação. Esta tese identifica o papel dos ativos complementares fornecidos pelas incubadoras de empresas durante o processo de incubação no fortalecimento das empresas incubadas, aumentando a sua probabilidade de sobrevivência, após deixarem a incubadora. Identificamos os tipos de ativos complementares proporcionados e a sua importância no desempenho das empresas na fase pós-incubação. Adicionalmente, identificamos a influência do ambiente institucional. Desse modo, associamos o desempenho das incubadoras ao sucesso das empresas após o período de incubação, na sua trajetória a solo no mercado. Para o efeito, realizamos três estudos distintos e interrelacionados, cada um com os seus próprios desenvolvimentos conceptuais e métodos. O primeiro estudo, usando técnicas bibliométricas, apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre desempenho de incubadoras de empresas. Procuramos, neste estudo, identificar as principais formas de abordagem e as tendências sobre o tema. O segundo estudo investiga empiricamente os resultados do estudo anterior, usando uma amostra de incubadoras brasileiras e propõe-se identificar os ativos complementares que são relevantes à sobrevivência de empresas graduadas, isto é, pós-incubadas. O terceiro estudo compara incubadoras de empresas brasileiras e portuguesas quanto aos ativos complementares que fornecem no que diz respeito à sobrevivência das empresas graduadas. Optamos por testar a influência do ambiente institucional no segundo e terceiro estudos. No segundo estudo usamos o ambiente empreendedor das localidades-base das incubadoras e no terceiro estudo usamos, como pano de fundo, o perfil institucional de Brasil e de Portugal. Por fim, este estudo contribui para a estratégia empresarial e, mais especificamente, para o empreendedorismo, por associar o conceito dos ativos complementares oferecidos por uma incubadora de negócios à sobrevivência das empresas e, consequentemente, ao desempenho da incubadora. Também identificamos as características mais relevantes desses ativos e o papel do ambiente institucional. Adicionalmente, contribuímos para a prática ao identificar que alguns ativos complementares fornecidos durante a fase de incubação, têm um papel crucial na sobrevivência das empresas graduadas, aprofundando a análise sobre os critérios para a seleção de incubadoras de empresas e, ao proporcionar informação relevante para os gestores de incubadoras, através de diretrizes para a formulação de modelos de negócios.
In this thesis, we propose to analyze the performance of business incubators. To this end, we studied the effectiveness of the incubation process. This thesis identifies the role of complementary assets provided by business incubators during the incubation process in strengthening hosted companies, increasing their probability of survival after leaving the incubator. We identify the types of complementary assets provided and their importance in the performance of post-incubation companies. Additionally, we identified the influence of the institutional environment. In this way, we associate business incubators' performance with companies' success after incubating in their solo trajectory in the market. Specifically, we carried out three distinct and interconnected studies, each with its conceptual development and methods. The first study uses bibliometric techniques to review the literature on business incubator performance. In this study, we sought to identify the main approaches and trends on the topic. The second study empirically investigates the previous study's findings, using a sample of Brazilian business incubators, and aims to identify the complementary assets relevant to the survival of graduated companies, that is, post-incubated companies. The third study compares Brazilian and Portuguese business incubators regarding the complementary assets they provide for the survival of graduated companies. We chose to test the influence of the institutional environment in the second and third studies. In the second study, we used the entrepreneurial environment of the incubators' base locations, and in the third study, we used, as a backdrop, the institutional profile of Brazil and Portugal. Finally, this study contributes to business strategy and, more specifically, entrepreneurship by associating the concept of complementary assets offered by a business incubator with the survival of companies and, consequently, the incubator's performance. We also identify the most relevant characteristics of these assets and the role of the institutional environment. Additionally, we contribute to the practice by identifying that some complementary assets provided during the incubation stage play a crucial role in the survival of graduated companies, deepening the analysis of the criteria for selecting business incubators and, for business incubator managers, providing guidelines for formulating business models.
