Description

Entrepreneurial Learning in Business Incubators and Accelerators (BIAs) This thesis aims to understand the experiences of entrepreneurs embarking on business incubator and accelerator (BIA) programs and why learning and personal growth seem irregular outcomes. Using a Critical Realist inspired methodology and mixed methods, the contingent mechanisms and conditions that enable or disengage entrepreneurial learning for entrepreneur attendees of BIAs are explored. A model of trust-contingent learning within BIAs is presented, including the conditions – such as predatory behaviours – whereby trust may be lost and learning undermined.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
