- Acceleration and incubation of technology intensive startups in Russia
School of Engineering | Master's thesis(2013) Peltola, JevgeniThe world's population is growing at a time when traditional labour markets are shrinking. Russia needs to focus on regional economic development initiatives that create new jobs. Although entrepreneurship and self-employment are sources of new jobs and economic dynamism, many start-ups never reach their goals. Meanwhile, there is significant success difference in the outcomes of the top and average start up incubators. The aim of this research is to help the managers of business incubators to serve start up teams more effectively. The objective of the study is to create a support model for start-up incubators and accelerators in Russia. For this qualitative and exploratory research a total of 16 decision makers and managers of both accelerators and incubators were interviewed on the subject of entrepreneurship. The utilized research method is multiple case study, where ten start up incubator and accelerator companies were interviewed on their start up services. Comparing in-depth empirical research and an extensive literature review, this study identified 39 elements that should be provided by start-up incubation and acceleration programs in Russia. This study contributes to existing theory by offering a holistic perspective to incubation programs by reflecting on the regional barriers to entrepreneurship. The main managerial implication of this study is the support model for start-up incubators and accelerators in Russia. - Internationalization Strategies of Finnish Construction Companies
