Examining the Pros and Cons of Incubators in Digital Entrepreneurship

Abstract

The study will initially include information about incubation mechanisms and the nature of digital entrepreneurship. A detailed literature review is going to be conducted and former studies are going to be examined in terms of their context, methodology, and findings in detail. Better performing systems are going to be promoted and their procedures are going to be used in implications for the practitioners. Besides these, focus will be on access to resources, mentorship and guidance, networking opportunities, validation and credibility, access to finance and funding opportunities, support programs, and lastly, collaboration occasion in terms of the pros of the incubator mechanisms. On the other hand, equity stake, lack of autonomy, project evaluation criteria, competitiveness and time constrains, dependency, and mismatched expectations are going to be examined in detail as cons of these mechanisms. Later on, conceptual framework is going to be constructed in terms of the qualifications of incubators, their procedures, and advantages besides their handicaps.
