The Truth is Still Out There: What We Still Need to Understand about Business Incubation Gupta, Sonali; Dindugal, Sunder Business incubators (BI) have been in existence since 1950s, and they offer a range of support services to nascent entrepreneurs. Many governments across the world promote incubators as a policy tool for the promotion of entrepreneurship leading to an increase in the number of incubators. As public funds are committed to support incubators, it is important that their performance is assessed, and benchmarks developed. This has been a challenge, given the differences in the objectives, business models and outcomes of the incubators. The article reviews the scholarship and practice of Business Incubation.

The Role of Incubators in Securing Resources and Performance of the Start-ups in India Aggarwal, Ansita; Acharya, Satya Ranjan This study compares the incubated and non-incubated start-ups in India on the basis of resource secured and performance achieved. The resources secured were divided into three main resources which every start-ups require i.e. government support, financial resources, and network support. The performance of the start-ups was measured on four different bases i.e. customer traction, scalability, market growth, and profit. The data was collected by 146 incubated start-ups and 84 non-incubated start-ups by the way of two different questionnaires. The study was based on resource based view and knowledge based view. The t-test was run to see if there is any difference between the incubated start-ups and non-incubated start-ups.

The Dynamics of Change Management in Start-ups Krishnan, R Most organisations grapple with change management. Particularly large organisations are vulnerable to fail or flop if they do not gear themselves up to change. In the interest of the long-term survival of growing organisations, change management becomes a separate, elaborate and essential exercise that needs to be undertaken at the right time. On the other hand, as far as start-ups are concerned, change is part of their basic DNA itself and change management is a 24x7 phenomenon for 365 days in a year. It is so crucial that like the baby in the incubator that needs extreme care and monitoring, if one is not responsive to the changes in the environment, the entrepreneurial venture would be gone for good. So where does the dynamics of change begin for a start-up? It is each and every element that is subject to change – the mission, the vision, the product or service offering, the team, the strategy, the structure, the process, the business model, the technology, the price, the promotion, and the distribution channel. This paper therefore examines the dynamics of change management in startups and attempts to come up with practical suggestions and recommendations based on not just theory but also some practical data.

States’ Startup Ranking 2019: A Comparative Analysis of Top and Emerging Startup Ecosystems Sodhi, Simran; Dwivedi, Amit K Leading towards an indigenous India, government is working hard to build a robust ecosystem for startups. Supporting the creative and innovative minds, the Government of India (GOI) has come up with an initiative where it involves every corner of the nation, leading them towards the goal of building strong Startup Ecosystem. In this vision every state has committed to exert oneself and contribute their best. Every State, Union Territory and Central authorities are in the process of making their state a best place to initiate any startup. To encourage this spirit, Ministry of Commerce and Industry along with Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) launched an exercise named as ‘States’ Startup Ranking’. Inspiring states to work more towards policy making and creating vast support system for startups, GOI has announced the second report of States’ Startup Ranking 2019 in the month of September. This study focuses on the performance of different states which participated in the States’ Startup Ranking 2019. Studying the actions taken by different states, the report aims to analyze the difference between the performing and less performing states. The focal point of the study is to concentrate on variance evident in the conduct of highest and lowest performing states. This paper is an attempt to highlight the areas where states need to concentrate more in order to develop the conducive ecosystem for the startups to grow and sustain.
