Network orchestration: new role of business incubators?

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of incubators in the stages of formationand development of incubated business networks, especially in bottom-up and top-down network models.Design/methodology/approach – The research is defined as qualitative and descriptive, with the...

To make the study operational, 11 semi-structured interviews were carriedout and the thematic analysis of content was developed.Findings – The results pointed out that in the top-down network the incubator performs a new assignment,the network orchestration, which corresponds to the actions of formation, coordination and governance of thegroup.
