摘要: 创业孵化平台通过协调平台参与者力量有效突破创业资源价值转换瓶颈,形成创业孵化平台生态优势。现有文献对生态优势研究还处于萌芽阶段,多以定性研究为主,缺乏测量工具。本研究基于理论与文献基础,运用探索性多案例研究方法,以5家创业孵化平台为研究对象,运用扎根理论提炼出创业孵化平台生态优势的内涵和维度,根据规范的量表开发程序编制初始测量量表,对369份有效问卷进行信效度检验。结果显示:创业孵化平台生态优势包括生态多样性、生态共生性和生态进化性三个维度,最终呈现的测量量表具有较高的信度和效度,为后续实证研究奠定了量表基础和测量工具。

Abstract: Abstract:Content?of?abstract?The platform-based entrepreneurship ecosystem is taking shape. On the one hand, leading enterprises are engaged in the construction of incubators and build entrepreneurship incubation platforms to promote transformation and upgrading and the development of new start-ups. On the other hand, new start-ups rely on entrepreneurship incubation platforms to start businesses and break through the double constraints of entrepreneurial resources and opportunities. Scholars usually use the competitive advantage to explain the ability of enterprises to occupy and maintain high performance. However, competitive advantage based on the supply side emphasizes internal value chain optimization, ignoring the value co-creation of ecological complementaries in the platform context, which makes it difficult to explain the interaction in the value network of entrepreneurship incubation platforms. The demand-based ecological advantage theory emphasizes mutual empowerment and value co-creation, which can effectively explain the process of achieving high performance of entrepreneurship incubation platforms. However, the current research on ecological advantage is still in its initial stage. Some scholars have explained the concept of ecological advantage, but the dimensions of the concept are still unclear. There is a lack of corresponding measurement scales, which limits the theoretical development and empirical testing of the subsequent research. The ecological advantage theory needs to be explored and improved by scholars. Based on this, this paper takes the entrepreneurship incubation platform as the research object and explores the ecological advantage of the entrepreneurship incubation platform and its measurement scale. Firstly, this paper compares the literature on entrepreneurship incubation platforms and ecological advantage systematically and conducts in-depth exploratory case studies on five entrepreneurship incubation platforms. Secondly, this paper explores the constitutive dimensions of ecological advantage of entrepreneurship incubation platforms, which are ecological diversity, ecological symbiosis, and ecological evolution, respectively, in the context of rooted theory and literature. Thirdly, this paper combines the results of existing studies and case studies to compile the scale measurement items and uses a large-scale questionnaire to empirically test the ecological advantage dimensions and measurement items of entrepreneurship incubation platforms. Finally, this paper refines a 3-dimensional and 10-item scale of ecological advantage of entrepreneurship incubation platform with good reliability and validity. The theoretical contributions of this paper are as follows:firstly,this study promotes the in-depth integration of ecological theory and competitive advantage; secondly, it clarifies the concept and dimensions of ecological advantage of entrepreneurship incubation platform. Finally, this paper provides an ecological advantage measurement tool.
