Meeting, mating, and intermediating: How incubators can overcome weak network problems in entrepreneurial ecosystems (2020, background): “Moreover, it is difficult to empirically disentangle separate effects of different support mechanisms, since they are commonly employed simultaneously (Bergek and Norrman, 2008; Bruneel et al., 2012; Schwartz and Hornych, 2008).”

Situated regional university incubation: A multi-level stakeholder perspective (2016, background): “Conceptually, university incubators connect science, technology, education, knowledge, entrepreneurial talent and capital (Smilor and Gill 1986; Mian, 1996; Aerts et al., 2007; Bergek and Norrman, 2008).”
Planned Luck: How Incubators Can Facilitate Serendipity for Nascent Entrepreneurs Through Fostering Network Embeddedness (2020, background): “…Kenya, networks, uncertainty Prior research has shown that incubators often play an important role in facilitating social networks for entrepreneurs, which can be essential for the success of entrepreneurial ventures (Amezcua et al., 2013; Bergek & Norrman, 2008; Collinson & Gregson, 2003).”

Beyond incubation: an analysis of firm survival and exit dynamics in the post-graduation period (2009, background): “As a final point, although, survival may be one of the most important indicators of incubator success, it has to be mentioned that the employment of survival rates as sole indicator is insufficient to capture the success or performance of a particular BI, since this may cover only one dimension of t”
The entrepreneurial university as driver for economic growth and social change - Key strategic challenges (2019, background): “various types of business incubators, accelerators, science park and other incubation support facilities as part of their enterprise development mission (Bergek and Norrman, 2008; Mian et al. 2016; Albahari, et al. 2017; Pauwels et al. 2016; Bank et al. 2017; Wright and Drori, 2018).”

A control group study of incubators’ impact to promote firm survival (2010, background): “…economic objectives of incubators are widely comparable and therefore measures of success should be quite similar (Schwartz and Göthner, 2009; Ratinho and Henriques, 2010), the appropriateness of survival rates as success indicator may vary between different locations (Bergek and Norrman, 2008).”
Cooperation patterns of incubator firms and the impact of incubator specialization: Empirical evidence from Germany (2010, background): “…underscores the importance of the incubator as an intermediary – or mediating – organization, helping newly founded and young ventures to establish cooperative relationships with a broad range of economic actors (Löfsten and Lindelöf, 2005; Rothschild and Darr, 2005; Bergek and Norrman, 2008).”
