碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 94 === This research explores the operational model of a strategic alliance amongst technology incubators, and examines how incubator clients can benefit from the expanded and integrated resources offered by any one of the technology incubators through the application of a Resource-Based View (RBV). A survey was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to 23 incubator managers in central Taiwan. Through an empirical binary logic model we discovered that “facility” resources that were adequate and of good quality are significantly related to the seed clients’ stage and “networking” resources for business and marketing opportunities are important to the expanding clients’ stage. RBV theory was integrated with research done on technology incubators, and the feasibility of expanding the scale of the resources supporting the incubator by providing a greater resource pool for the clients through the development of strategic alliances was explored. SA technology incubator models should constantly be reviewed and adapted to the external environment as well as to the demands of the incubator clients to create and sustain the competitive advantages for the incubator clients. In addition, it is suggested that SA partners review the combination of their resource portfolios for the best interest of their clients. We encourage an empirical study on technology incubator resource portfolios and the development of a dynamic SA technology incubator model as worthwhile research to be further explored.
