Hello
I've had excellent support from this group when asking for help for
students in the past, now I hope the same will happen for me. I am
preparing a paper on innovation and high technology incubators and am up to
my neck in optimistic governmental policy documents on the subject but have
found surprisingly few academic studies to support the optimism!

Anyone out there have any ideas re useful references?

best wishes

Lynn Martin

In response to Lynn Martin's request for references, the following
chapter
contains information on the various ways that our federal government
behaves in an entrepreneurial manner through the development of new
ventures:

Goodman, J. P., Meany, J. W., & Pate, L. E. (1992). The
government
as entrepreneur: Industrial development and the creation of new
ventures. In D. Sexton & J. Kasarda (Ed.), THE STATE OF THE ART
OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP. Boston: PWS-Kent Publishing Co.

Hope this helps.

Larry

Regarding Lynn Martin's request: I suggest the National Business Incubation
Association. They have a publication list of studies that have been
completed on technology incubators.
