Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: An empirical analysis into the underlying components impacting upon business incubation performance of Malaysian ICT incubators

This thesis examines the influence of Selection Performance, Monitoring and Business Assistance Intensity, Resource Allocation, and Professional Management Services on business incubation performance. This study extends current research by investigating an additional construct which examines targeted areas of professional management services including marketing and promotion, strategic management, financial management, and staff and personnel management. The literature suggests that limited academic research on incubation development in Malaysia has been undertaken and information regarding business incubation in Malaysia is primarily descriptive providing a limited view of the incubation system.
