INCUBADORAS DE NEGOCIOS EN RED: CAPITAL INTELECTUAL DE INCUBADORAS DE NEGOCIOS DE LATINOAMÉRICA Y LA RELACIÓN CON SU ÉXITO

ABSTRACT

This research is an analysis of the intellectual capital of business incubators in Latin America and the effects of different indicators with respect to the success of a business incubator (found in some ranking), based on a model of intellectual capital with the vision of networked incubator. For this, we work with the Intellectus model, because it is considered one of the most complete, understandable and simple to apply models, as well as delving into the organizations' intentional assets, which is the objective of the study. It is a descriptive and explanatory research with data collection from the application of questionnaires with managers of 39 incubators from 7 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, also considered responses of 59 employees of the same incubators. A quantitative approach was adopted, using statistical tests to test the hypotheses made. Finally, the evidence indicates that the number of incubated, incubated with sales abroad, total sales, national and international alliances, public or private alliances and employee rotation, positively influence the success of an incubator. Future research should reformulate the indicators considered and at the same time include more indicators of human capital and structural capital.
