The purpose of this paper is to evaluate effectiveness of business incubator process models employed in government-funded incubators operating in the emerging markets countries, using South Africa as an example. This research paper aims to add to literature on the incubator process evaluation stream of studies. Furthermore, it proposes a process effectiveness model based on the integration of organizational diagnosis theory on organizational effectiveness as well the real options theory of the incubator process. This study employs a qualitative study method based on interviews with 10 business incubator managers of the only government sanctioned Small Enterprise Development Agency in South Africa. Data was collected and analysed qualitatively. The researcher proposes an incubator process effectiveness evaluation framework with dimensions that are suitable for an emerging market context.</p Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) unrestricted 2013-09-07T06:26:07Z 2012-09-27 2013-09-07T06:26:07Z 2012-03-08 2012-09-27 2012-07-21 Dissertation Mokoena, M 2011, An evaluation of the effectiveness of government funded incubators in emerging markets : the South African perspective, MBA dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd < http://hdl.handle.net/2263/26523 > F/12/4/724/zw http://hdl.handle.net/2263/26523 http://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/available/etd-07212012-193110/ © 2011 University of Pretoria.
