Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 科技管理所 === 102 === While the concept of entrepreneurship has received much attention, the startup accelerator programs have emerged in both Taiwan and the globe. Accelerators aim to speed up the success of participating startups, yet few discussed on how an accelerator offers support and how startups access or manage the resources. By Applying resource orchestration theory (Sirmon, 2011) in case study, this paper shows the resource orchestration process of the firm and the effect of participating in the startup accelerator. The results in this paper indicate that by participating in the activities of the accelerator program, the startup gets access to resources with lower costs. Furthermore, by developing the network resources of the accelerator, the firm is able to orchestrate the resource and provide value to customers. However, the accelerator program doesn’t support in all the components in resource orchestration process due to environmental uncertainty and the stage of the startup.
