Incubator efficiency vs survival of start-ups

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge on the efficiency of the incubators inMexico, from a double-managerial approach (incubator and start-ups) measuring the efficiency oriented to thesurvival growth in the employment.Design/methodology/approach–The efficiency of 25 bus...
