2. Conceptual Framework And Hypotheses

The initial framework by Campbell, Kendrick and Samuelson (1985) emerged with the simple business incubator services and facilities. The business incubator framework started with entry criteria, selection process, funding, and mentoring-networking for tenant business growth.

Smilor (1987) introduced a non-profit business incubator framework whose model implicates the tenant business mission, such as economic development, successful product, tenant’s profit, technology diversification, and job creation. Smilor’s framework involved support system (i.e. administration, facilities, and business expertise), universities and the government. His work was probably the most extensive in ascertaining and elaborating the different elements of an incubation system.

Campbell (1989) introduced the new incubation process model consisting of pre-incubation process, entry criteria and selection process, monitoring and controlling processes. The previous models by Campbell et al. (1985) and Smilor (1987) had not introduced the processes and activities from the pre-incubation and incubation processes until successful outcomes were achieved.
