• Revisiting incubation performance (2012, unknown): “Schwartz and Hornych [12] have proven the benefits of sector specialization as a strategy for incubation.”
• The Evolution of Business Incubators: Comparing demand and supply of business incubation services across different incubator generations (2012, background): “Fourth, prospective tenants should look at their future fellow tenants to better assess and select an appropriate BI in addition to assessing the BI’s profile (Schwartz and Hornych, 2008).”
• Service-based differentiation strategies for business incubators: Exploring external and internal alignment (2012, background): “Schwartz and Hornych (2008) instead delineate the advantages and disadvantages of incubators with a sector or technology focus, and our data partly confirm their findings, in that focused incubators can offer focused infrastructure, knowledge, and know-how.”
• How network-based incubation helps start-up performance: a systematic review against the background of management theories (2017, background): “These are universities (Mian 1996; Rothaermel and Thursby 2005a), incubator managers (Rice 2002; Tsai et al. 2009), consultants (Tötterman and Sten 2005), financiers (Sá and Lee 2012) and other start-ups (Schwartz and Hornych 2008).”
• Beyond incubation: an analysis of firm survival and exit dynamics in the post-graduation period (2009, background): “As a recent survey of the German BI landscape shows, there are about 400 BIs and science parks (see Schwartz and Hornych 2008 for some results), with 129 of these in Eastern Germany.”
• Cooperation patterns of incubator firms and the impact of incubator specialization: Empirical evidence from Germany (2010, background): “First, the average age of the specialized (diversified) incubators is 10.6 (12.5) years, the difference resulting from the relatively recent establishment of SBIs (Schwartz and Hornych, 2008).”
• Knowledge flow in Technological Business Incubators: Evidence from Australia and Israel (2015, background): “At the same time the importance of BIs' ability to provide incubatees with valuable networks is increasingly acknowledged (Peters et al., 2004; Schwartz and Hornych, 2008).”
