Abstract

In this study, we analyze if innovative activities of newly founded firms in incubation centers make any positive effect on growth performance. The addition of incubation factor to the analysis give this study a specific novel angle in studies of innovation and firm growth performance. To investigate the factors affecting the growth performance of firms we performed face to face interviews with the firms located at 12 business incubators, İŞGEMs, around Turkey. The survey study covers almost all the firms which are still active in incubators, failed during the incubation period and graduated after incubation. In the empirical analysis part of the study, we estimate the effects of innovation activity on firm growth using Tobit Regressions. The regression results indicate that innovative activities positively increase the growth performance of newly founded firms in business incubators.

Özet

Bu çalışmada yenilik aktivitesinin İş Kuluçkası firmalarının büyüme performansına olumlu bir etki yapıp yapmadığı araştırılmaktadır. İş kuluçkaları faktörünün de analize dahil edilmesi, bu çalışmaya yenilik ve firma büyümesi literatürü içerisinde belirli özel bir yer sağlamaktadır. İş Kuluçkası firmaları büyüme performansını nelerin etkilediğini ölçmek amacıyla Türkiye’de bulunan 12 İş Geliştirme Merkezinde (İŞGEM) faaliyet gösteren firmalarla yüz yüze görüşülerek anketler yapılmıştır. Anket çalışmasına İŞGEM’lerde halen faaliyet gösteren, kapanan ve Kuluçkadan mezun olup ayrılan hemen tüm firmalar dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmanın uygulama kısmında yenilik aktivitesinin firma büyümesi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak için Tobit Regresyon Analizi ile tahminler yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda yenilik yapmanın İş Kuluçkalarındaki firmaların büyüme performansını anlamlı bir şekilde artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
