R&D, product innovation, and exporting: evidence from UK new technology based firms (2011, background): “…official statistics overestimate the existing number of young high-tech SMEs and NTBFs is that young firms and especially NTBFs are more likely to fail during the first few years of their existence (the liability of newness) (Tether, 1997; Licht and Nerlinger, 1998; Ferguson and Olofsson, 2004).”
Specialization as strategy for business incubators: An assessment of the Central German Multimedia Center (2008, background): “That is a highly valuable intangible resource, especially for newly founded or young firms, which do not possess any reputation and must develop legitimacy in the market (see Westhead and Batstone, 1998; Ferguson and Olofsson, 2004; Studdard, 2006; McAdam and Marlow, 2007).”
Critical Role and Screening Practices of European Business Incubators (2007, background): “Ferguson and Olofsson (2004) analyse science park performance based on survival and growth of the tenants compared to non tenant new technology-based firms.”
Beyond incubation: an analysis of firm survival and exit dynamics in the post-graduation period (2009, background): “This is lower than the employment growth during the incubation period in Swedish science parks ( Ferguson and Olofsson 2004; Lindelo ¨f and Lo ¨fsten 2004) but comparable to other findings on German BIs (e.g., Behrendt 1996; Seeger 1997).”
Export propensity, export intensity and firm performance: The role of the entrepreneurial founding team (2012, background): “In terms of a firm’s performance a number of studies have found that firms located in science parks outperform those outside (Colombo and DelMastro, 2002; Ferguson and Olofsson, 2004).”
Founders’ human capital and the performance of UK new technology based firms (2012, background): “Although a number of studies have found that firms located in science parks perform better than those outside of such parks (Colombo and DelMastro 2002; Ferguson and Olofsson 2004 ), others have found no significant effects (Lofsten and Lindelof 2005 4 ).”
“To have and have not”: founders’ human capital and university start-up survival (2013, background): “Nevertheless, survival as main and explicit focus tends to remain a minor interest in NTBF research.3 Empirical studies show that links with higher education institutes, incubators, and science parks are key elements in NTBF survival (Westhead and Storey 1995; Ferguson and Olofsson 2004).”
A control group study of incubators’ impact to promote firm survival (2010, background): “…have the huge advantages of not being restricted to a dichotomous variable of surviving/ not surviving, to take into account the precise duration until the market exit and to account for censoring (Ferguson and Olofsson, 2004; Schwartz, 2009 for applications in the context of incubation research).”
Service-based differentiation strategies for business incubators: Exploring external and internal alignment (2012, background): “We also reaffirm the notion that tenants in a focused incubator aim to use that incubator’s image or credibility to enter and grow in their sector or field (Ferguson and Olofsson, 2004; Studdard, 2006).”
