Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the role of innovation support agents (ISAs) in the development of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) from the perspective of information asymmetry among economic agents. It was performed a qualitative cross-case analysis about two business incubators, two business accelerators, and two science parks. According to the empirical data collected and posterior analysis it was found that ISAs contribute to the development of NTBFs in the following ways: distributing market information to them, reducing their search costs; enabling their social capital formation; borrowing reputation to them; reducing the search costs of market agents to access their NTBFs. Furthermore, these roles vary to the nature of the ISA investigated. Lastly, this research can be used as a reference by both, ISAs and NTBFs, regarding the development of the informational and social aspects of this latter. Keywords: information asymmetry, NTBFs, science parks, business incubators, business accelerators.

信息不对称视角下创新支持主体在新技术企业发展中的作用

本文的目的是从经济主体之间的信息不对称角度分析创新支持主体在新技术企业发展中的作用。对两个企业孵化器、两个企业加速器和两个科技园区进行了定性交叉案例分析。根据收集的经验数据和后验分析发现，ISAs通过以下方式对NTBF的发展做出了贡献：向他们分发市场信息，降低他们的搜索成本；促进其社会资本的形成；借用他们的名誉；降低了市场代理访问其NTBF的搜索成本。此外，这些角色因所调查ISA的性质而异。最后，本研究可供ISAs和NTBF参考，以发展后者的信息和社会方面。关键词：信息不对称，NTBF，科技园区，企业孵化器，企业加速器。
