Abstract
We then argue that the variety of incubating organizations is driven by the evolution of companies' requirements and needs, which encourage incubators to differentiate the range of services that they offer. We believe that differences in the way incubators run their businesses can be described by two main incubating models (Model 1 and Model 2), providing incubators with useful indications on how to position themselves strategically. We identify a list of incubator 'characterizing' variables to highlight the main differences between the four types of incubators and to describe the incubating models. Empirical evidence is provided on the two incubating models derived from case studies of eight Italian incubators.
