The document summarizes a study on the performance of small business incubators in South Africa run by the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA). The study found mixed results, with some incubators performing extremely well and propping up overall averages, while several performed poorly. Factors that influenced performance included having dedicated professional management, adequate resources, sector focus (high-tech incubators tended to do better), and the availability of mentors and equipment. Further research is needed to better understand the diversity of incubator models and their impact.

In a knowledge-based economy, the creation of wealth becomes synonymous with creating products and services with large software content. However, despite a few major players, the software industry as a whole is fragmented and consists mainly of small, niche market entrepreneurial ventures. The authors study the California software industry to characterize the major barriers to success for these ventures. Simultaneously, a fundamental shift of software technology to a component-based development paradigm will reinforce the industry’s fragmented nature by fuelling a third party, independent software component economy. Coupled with the globalization of the IT industry in general, the need for startups and small companies
to form strategic partnerships will become increasingly critical to their ability to create wealth. In recent years, innovative public–private partnerships have attempted to assist startups by addressing their lack of physical resources or capital. This is best illustrated by the dramatic growth of incubators and regional capital networks. In this paper, the authors propose a ‘‘ virtual incubator’’ model to facilitate startup success and business network formation, shifting the focus to the ‘‘ virtual

STARTUPS AND CLIENTS PERSPECTIVE ON TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS INCUBATORS PERFORMANCEIAEME Publication
Technology and entrepreneurship often push national economies towards their developmental destinations.
Technology business incubators have become popular because of economic development strategies like promoting
technology/knowledge-based businesses, culture of techno-preneurship, creation of value added new jobs, Technology
commercialization, interfacing and networking of academic – R&D – industries and financial institutions, value added
services to its tenants as well as to the existing technology dominated Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and also
technology upgradation activities.

The study was aimed to explore the innovative and inclusive local entrepreneurship and SME development in Namibia. The study used qualitative methods as a research strategy. Meaning qualitative data was collected and analysed using interpretive techniques through the distribution of google form link to SMEs owner in the 14 region of Namibia. The findings of the study revealed that Namibia SMEs’s owner had no knowledge in SMEs networking with other SMEs in the 14 region. The participants further indicated there is no network platform among SMEs in Namibia that share information regarding SMEs growth and development. According to the participants engaged in the study they indicated that since 1990 some are still operating the same way and there is no partnership with other SMEs in the 14 regions of the country since independence. Therefore, the present study recommends that Ministry of trade should come up with strategies and mechanism that can empower SMEs owner to share business ideas, networking and create partnership with other SMEs in the 14 regions of Namibia and the study further recommends that the Ministry of Trade should come up with SMEs annual conference meeting that would enable SMEs owner to attend and share business ideas and be able to compete at global level.

Using cross-sectional firm-level data, this paper examines the determinants of productivity
among manufacturing firms in Tanzania. In particular, it seeks to evaluate the relative
importance of technological advances and the business environment in which firms operate in
affecting productivity. Of the technological variables, R&D as well as product and process
innovation, licensing of technology, and training of employees fail to have any impact; only
foreign ownership, ISO certification and higher education of the management appear to affect
productivity. Some important influences from the broader business environment, however,
appear to affect productivity and are robust to different specifications of the model. Credit
constraints, administrative regulatory burdens and a lack of business support services depress
productivity; membership of a business association is associated with higher productivity.
Cet article examine à l’aide de données en coupe transversale les facteurs qui déterminent la
productivité dans les firmes manufacturières en Tanzanie. Plus précisément, nous comparons
l’importance relative des avancées technologiques et du contexte institutionnel comme facteurs
explicatifs de la productivité. Parmi les variables technologiques, la recherche-développement, les
innovations de produits et de procédés, les licences de technologie et la formation des employés
n’ont aucun impact. En revanche, la propriété étrangère, la certification ISO et la formation avancée
des dirigeants d’entreprise semblent influencer la productivité. Certains facteurs institutionnels,
quant à eux, ont une influence sur la productivité qui se manifeste de façon systématique dans
plusieurs modèles. Les contraintes de crédit, la lourdeur administrative de la réglementation et un
manque de services de support aux entreprises sont associés à une faible productivité, alors que
l’appartenance à des associations de commerce caractérise les firmes à forte productivité.

1. Introduction
Innovation is widely regarded as the key to economic growth in industrialised countries. Firms
invest in R&D to develop new products and/or new processes. They acquire existing technology
through licensing contracts, cooperation agreements, mergers and acquisitions. They train their
workers, invest in new technologies, such as in information and communication technologies
(ICT), or introduce new ways of operating, like selling and buying on the Internet. By
introducing new products, implementing new technologies, and reorganising their way of
oper.

1. S
outh Africa is going through
processes of development which
are relevant in most other African
countries, though it is somewhat
ahead in the longer-run evolution. One
such process is the creation of small busi-
ness incubators, as part of the wider evo-
lution of business clusters and enterprise
development.
Research undertaken at the University
of Stellenbosch Business School (USB)
has added a valuable contribution to the
growing range of studies on small busi-
ness clustering in developing and emerg-
ing countries. The USB study explores the
performance of the business incubators of
the Small Enterprise Development Agency
(SEDA) in South Africa, and sheds light
on factors that influence incubator success.
The need for proactive
clustering efforts
Africa is advancing steadily towards ur-
banisation and reduced reliance on subsist-
ence agriculture. In this development the
manufacturing or processing sector has to
play an increasingly important role. More-
over, in this and in all the other ‘emerging’
sectors more productive technologies and
business methods have to be introduced.
A further challenge is that the infrastruc-
ture – supply of water, electricity, road ac-
cess, storage facilities, transport, etc. – is
often poorly developed in rural and low-
density urban areas.
This is where the clustering of eco-
nomic activities, and in particular small
businesses, becomes critical for accelerated
development. Graphic 1 distinguishes five
types of clustering relevant for the evolu-
tion of modern economies.
The first phase – and still the one
most visible across Africa – includes the
clustering of mostly informal traders and
suppliers of transport, food and basic

clothing around local markets, transport
interchanges or large enterprises such as
mines. These buzzing places provide scope
for ‘learning by observing competitors’,
the supply of specialised services (due to
the economies of scale), the integration
of small enterprises into larger ones, and
other processes of business development.
A slightly more advanced type of clus-
tering (category B) involves the evolution
of sector-specific accumulation of small
enterprises in a town,an area or a particular
location. This could evolve out of a fishing
area, around a mine or factory, or in a tour-
ist spot. These clusters are the forerunners
to the specialised industries and service-
sector niches that stimulated and shaped
much of Europe’s modern economies over
the past centuries.
Focusing more closely on specific
business places or clusters in buildings
or neighbourhoods, category C refers to
‘hives’ where anything between a dozen
and a few hundred small enterprises may
be accommodated. During the late 1980s
and early 1990s South Africa’s Small Busi-
ness Development Corporation established
about 45 such hives across the country to
stimulate small enterprises in a loosely
structured way.
A more tightly controlled, sector-
focused and systematically supported varia-
tion of the hive is the small business incuba-
tor (category D), which is the focus of the
USB study. A fifth category is a technopark
or science park where property developers
try to get a meaningful mix of small, me-
dium and larger firms in one area, driven by
general business principles, but enriched by
the inherent scope for fruitful cooperation
between the firms (and nearby institutions
like universities or research centres).
In the highly developed countries,much
of the focus in this field of clustering falls
on the last two variations – incubators and
science parks. In developing Africa the fo-
cus is still on the first two and evolving
hive strategies; incubators are rare, except
in larger cities or around specific sectors.
Yet, as the search grows for more effective
ways to strengthen viable and internation-
ally competitive activity clusters, the inter-
est in government- or donor-subsidised
incubators is likely to increase rapidly.
SEDA’s technology-focused
incubator programme
The roots of SEDA’s Technology Pro-
gramme (STP) go back to 2000, when the
Godisa Trust was established as a joint
initiative of the Department of Science
and Technology (DST), the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Eu-
ropean Union (as donor agency), to de-
velop a national incubation framework. Its
aim was to enhance the capacity of small
enterprises by providing technology sup-
port at technology centres. Parallel to this,
CATEGORIES OF Small business-focused clustering processes
graphic 1
A. Spontaneous (informal) business clustering (e.g. at a market or river crossing)
B. Sector-focused clustering of small businesses in an area (e.g. fishing, transport,
food-processing, retailing)
C. Loosely structured clustering of small enterprises in a ‘hive’ or building complex
D. Small business incubator with formally structured support programmes
E. Technoparks, science parks or office parks
As the search
grows for more
effective ways to
strengthen viable
and internationally
competitive activity
clusters,the interest
in government- or
donor-subsidised
incubators is likely
to increase rapidly.

activities and ‘outputs’ in these incubators.
The USB study reviews this literature and
shows how difficult objective measure-
ment actually is. Utilising the data devel-
oped by SEDA’s Technology Programmes,
it looks critically at a range of indicators
and how the performance in the different
incubators has varied over the three years
(2007/8, 2008/9 and 2009/10) for which
data are available. Graphic 3 summarises a
few of the indicators.
The results of the analysis are mixed.
Overall macro-indicators (SMMEs creat-
ed, turnover, employment) support that the
STP incubators have performed well, with
most of the key performance indicators
on an upward trend. Overall income and
SMMEs still in business showed a negative
trend, but that may have been the result of
the recession rather than incubator factors.
Measurable indicators about technology
transfer showed disappointing results, while
indicators for financial sustainability of the
incubators (dependency on DTI grants) are
more positive.
The statistical analysis of the data clearly
confirms what the experience in other parts
of the world has shown: some incubators
have performed extremely well (and as a re-
sult, propped up average performance values
for all), while several of the projects have
performed poorly.
Factors that shape
incubator performance
The reasons for poor performance are quite
diverse. A list of more distinct problem
areas that were deduced through in-depth
interviews with some of the problem cases
follows:
SEDA’s Technology Programme (STP) Incubators
the DTI established some incubators and
training centres which were later incorpor
ated into the Godisa Trust.
The STP was created in 2006 to consoli
date the business incubators or Technology
BusinessCentres(TBCs)thatreceivefinan
cial support from national government. All
STP incubators (see Graphic 2) are now
comprehensively funded by the DTI, and
are registered as Section 21 (non-profit)
companies or trusts.
These incubators are tasked with address-
ing the following seven basic and generally
acknowledged needs of the accommodated
small enterprises:
n provide management support to the en-
terprises
n facilitate the acquisition and transfer of
technology
n promote adherence to quality standards
n improve the productivity of the enter-
prises
n strengthen the competitiveness of incuba-
tor firms
n promote entrepreneurial activity (with
particular focus on empowerment groups)
and, through all of this,
n reduce the relatively high failure rate of
start-up and emerging enterprises.
Assessing the performance
of the incubators
Worldwide, discussions about the role
and ‘success’ of small business incubators
have been shaped by efforts objectively to
measure different dimensions of SMME

This study is an example of the type
of research stimulated by the on
going research programme of the
USB’s Learning Lab on Corporate
engagement at the Bottom of the
Pyramid. This should also include
incubators developed by corporates
for small enterprises (e.g. located
in a township) that supply products
or services to them. The capital cost
could be covered by the corporates
as part of the input costs for the
outsourced products. An example
might be a food-franchising corporate
that facilitates the establishment
of an urban agriculture incubator
along the principles of ‘contract
farming’. Thus the challenges of
BEE, small business support, incu-
bation and corporate development
engagement could be tackled jointly.
n Incubators need dedicated, professionally
competent managers who are ‘passionate’
about the incubator and its incubatees.
n Management needs to be proactive in
training and skills transfer, adapted to the
incubatees’sector needs.
n Incubators have to be adequately resourced
at all times.
n The incubation period (usually 2 – 3 years)
may have to be extended (to 4 – 5 years) in
some sectors,particularly ones like mining
where administrative processes are slow
and cumbersome.
n More attention needs to be given to post-
incubation support to firms that have left
the incubator.
n Incubators might benefit if (some) suc-
cessful firms are allowed to remain in the
incubator after‘graduation’– to function as
a positive catalyst for other trainee-firms.
n High-tech incubators usually have a
higher success rate, inter alia owing to
the relatively better training of incuba-
tees (e.g. in the biotechnology, ICT and
chemical sectors).
n Construction incubators suffer from the
extensive absence of SMME staff from
the centre (since they work at the con-
struction sites).
n Agriculture-focused incubators are high-
risk, given the many variables that influ-
ence the performance of farmers.
n The availability and commitment of men-
tors and coaches can be critical for the
success of incubators.
n The ability of incubators to acquire ma-
chinery and equipment which incubatees
cannot afford to acquire can also be a
critical success factor (e.g. in the cloth-
ing sector).
n Incorporation of the franchise model in
incubator practices may help to overcome
routine problems of small business devel-
opment and ease the training challenge.
Further research challenges
The USB study focuses on a particular cate
gory of incubators – those funded by DTI
– but it clearly shows the great diversity of
centres and their performance. This tells us
that many more studies need to be undertak-
en in this field: in-depth case studies of spe-
cific (successful or failed) incubators, group
studies focusing on specific sectors, incuba-
tors in specific regions or towns, and lessons
to be learned from incubator efforts in other
African countries. Equally important are
comparisons between the operational per-
formance of publicly as opposed to privately
funded incubators.
