摘要

The study investigates the impact of the use of university incubation and other innovation intermediary services on the performance of small-scale entrepreneurs in Ghana. Data was collected from 453 entrepreneurs selected using stratified random sampling techniques and analysed using partial least square structural equation model. Findings indicate that the use of university incubation has a positive influence on sales, profitability, and the feeling of success among firms. The study further found university incubation effectively moderates the positive links between organisational factors and the financial viability of incubate-firms. The findings suggest that policy incentives for university incubation can improve commercialisation of indigenous innovation in developing countries.
