Resource needs incubator support to fulfill the resource needs of the start-up:
Physical capital = tangible resource
Financial capital = tangible resource
Knowledge = intangible resource
Social capital = intangible resource
Legitimacy = intangible resource
Van Weele et al: Which resources, provided by the incubator, doe entrepreneurs and
incubator staff perceive as important, and why do their perceptions differ?
Initially tangible resources are deemed important. Later start-ups realize that intangible
resources are more important.
Startups (new technology-based firms):
Unconsciously incompetent (not capable)
Short-term oriented and focused on day-day business.
Unwilling to leave their comfort zone.

Francis and Bessant: Disruptive innovation: new entrants challenge incumbents, after some
time, disruptive innovation improves and threatens established markets and products. = The
combination of technologies and business model innovation. Difference with radical
innovation: For disruptive innovation the key to organizational renewal lies in the needs of
the customers, whereas for radical innovation this lies in the capabilities of the incumbent
firm itself.
To withstand disruptive innovation, incubators need to adapt their organization and be in
touch with customer needs.
