Abstract

The flourishing of younger and innovative organizations (start-ups) has never stopped. To grow, start-ups need capital and access to the market, and are often incubated by business incubators (hubs), which offer several services, both educational and practical, essential to enable the transformation of business ideas into concrete business projects. Disruptive times certainly affect the way start-ups are trained and empowered, mixing in-house and remote learning; nevertheless, incubators still deliver their valuable training to new organizations. This contribution intends to explore this change addressing the incubators (trainers) perspective,and to provide a practical contribution to the management literature on training process shifts across startup. A qualitative case study analysis was used in this research. It involves a combination of both secondary data and semi-structured interviews with the Incubatore SEI – a business hub based in the Campania Region – CEO and founder. This study focuses on distinct skill areas that influence startup empowerment processes: (1) individual knowledge, (2) organizational knowledge, (3) observable skills, (4) problem-solving skills, (5) attitudes and beliefs. This study emphasizes the need of change inventive training procedures amid crises, as well as the relevance of highly innovative hubs in delivering their training to startup. Furthermore, research reveals intriguing insights for the growth of incubators as well as intriguing perspectives for the future of the startup ecosystem through continuous empowerment.

创业公司的组织培训:动荡时期孵化器的视角

年轻和创新的组织(初创企业)的蓬勃发展从未停止过。为了发展，初创企业需要资金和进入市场的渠道，通常由企业孵化器(中心)孵化，这些孵化器提供多种服务，包括教育和实用服务，这些服务对于将商业理念转化为具体的商业项目至关重要。颠覆性的时代肯定会影响初创企业的培训和授权方式，将内部学习和远程学习结合起来;然而，孵化器仍然为新组织提供有价值的培训。这篇文章旨在从孵化器(培训师)的角度探讨这一变化，并为关于跨创业公司培训过程转变的管理文献提供实用的贡献。本研究采用定性个案分析方法。它结合了二手数据和对孵化器SEI(位于坎帕尼亚地区的商业中心)首席执行官和创始人的半结构化访谈。本研究聚焦于影响创业授权过程的不同技能领域:(1)个人知识，(2)组织知识，(3)观察技能，(4)解决问题的技能，(5)态度和信念。这项研究强调了在危机中改变创造性培训程序的必要性，以及高度创新中心在向初创企业提供培训方面的相关性。此外，研究还揭示了孵化器发展的有趣见解，以及通过持续赋权对创业生态系统未来的有趣看法。
