Does gender affect entrepreneurship? Evidence from Spanish and Argentinian business incubators
(Elsevier, 2024-01) ROSADO-CUBERO, ANA; HERNANDEZ, ADOLFO; BLANCO-JIMENEZ, FRANCISCO JOSE; FREIRE-RUBIO, TERESA
This study presents our findings from a systematic analysis of gender and entrepreneurship in Spanish and Argentinian incubators for 2020 and 2021. We improved our understanding of the unique challenges women entrepreneurs face in Spain compared to those in Argentina. Regarding gender and entrepreneurship in in- cubators, our findings show that neither country exhibits significant differences in success or failure rates nor in the type of financial model (state or public). However, we encountered significant differences in the inter- nationalisation rates of businesses, which reflect a predominantly male profile. Finally, the analysis of the reach of this rate will focus on the type of financing, state versus private.
Keys of accelerators success: evidence from Spain
(Springer, 2024-06-22) ROSADO-CUBERO, ROSA; HERNANDEZ, ADOLFO; BLANCO-JIMENEZ, FRANCISCO JOSE; FREIRE -RUBIO, TERESA
Among the policies to support entrepreneurs, accelerators of companies are recog- nized in the academic, political and business environment as effective tools to sup- port the creation of new companies by meeting their needs in their early stages. The purpose of this article is to detect variables relevant to predicting the success of an accelerator. To that end, a questionnaire of 87 questions was designed and distrib- uted to all accelerators present in Spain at the end of 2022. In the first instance, an index is proposed to measure the success of accelerators using the statistic tool Prin- cipal Component Analysis. The index includes information such as the percentage of projects that have achieved the objectives set during the programme, the percentage of projects that continue their activity or the percentage that have received public/ private funding. In this paper, through a multivariate lineal regression analysis, we identify the elements in an accelerator which contribute to its success, measured by the index obtained initially. The key factors that contribute to the success of accel- erators are Profit making entity, Number of calls and Training seminar. This work offers suggestions for future research to explore the potential of business accelera- tors. From a practical perspective, the article provides managers of accelerators a guide to design and improve programs according to their goals.
Promotion of entrepreneurship through business incubators: Regional analysis in Spain
(Elsevier, 2023-05) ROSADO-CUBERO, Ana; HERNANDEZ, ADOLFO; BLANCO-JIMEMEZ, FRANCISCO JOSE; FREIRE-RUBIO, TERESA
This study focuses on business incubators in Spain, which helps compare regions within Spain. This study has four goals: to shape taxonomy of the Spanish business incubator system, to compare between regions, to identify the factors affecting incubators' success, and to analyse during the COVID pandemic. Of the 478 business incubators registered in Spain, 89 were selected as the sample for study. Business incubators provide office space, equipment and mentoring services, as well as financial, legal and administrative support for entrepreneurs and start-up companies. Non-parametric statistical techniques are used to compare between regions, considering each regional business incubator as an ecosystem. The study focuses on six Spanish regions: Madrid, Catalonia, Castile-Leon, Aragon, Basque Country and Galicia.
