Abstract
Among the policies to support entrepreneurs, accelerators of companies are recognized in the academic, political and business environment as effective tools to support 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 distributed 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 Principal 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 accelerators are Profit making entity, Number of calls and Training seminar. This work offers suggestions for future research to explore the potential of business accelerators. From a practical perspective, the article provides managers of accelerators a guide to design and improve programs according to their goals.
期刊介绍：
The International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal (IEMJ) publishes high quality manuscripts dealing with entrepreneurship, broadly defined, and the management of entrepreneurial organizations. The journal will expand the study of entrepreneurship and management by publishing innovative articles based on different perspectives using a variety of methodological approaches and showing the practical implications of the research for its readership. IEMJ is unique; providing a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers, scholars, consultants, entrepreneurs, businessmen, managers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship. The journal covers the relationship between management and entrepreneurship including both conceptual and empirical papers, leading to an improvement in the understanding of international entrepreneurial perspectives of the organisations concerned. Entrepreneurial studies are important in creating new economic activity that in turn increases innovation, employment, economic wealth and growth. The journal focuses on the diverse and complex characteristics of entrepreneurship in SMEs and large companies in local, regional, national or international markets that lead to competitiveness in the face of the effects of globalization. Though preference will be given to manuscripts that are international in scope, papers focused on domestic contexts and issues are welcome also, in order to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and potential generalizability of findings worldwide. IEMJ will publish original papers which contribute to the advancement of the field of entrepreneurship and the interface between management and entrepreneurship, as well as articles on business corporate strategy and government economic policy. On occasions, the journal will also feature case studies of successful firms or other cases having important practical implications. The journal places great emphasis on the quality of the papers it publishes. Submission of a paper will imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Officially cited as: Int Entrep Manag J
