The Evolution of University Business Incubators: Transnational Hubs for Entrepreneurship

Mason Pellegrini Purdue University West Lafayette ; Richard Johnson-Sheehan Purdue University West Lafayette

Abstract

University business incubators (UBIs) are uniquely positioned to foster transnational entrepreneurship and the evolution of business and technical communication practices on a worldwide basis. UBIs facilitate the launch of start-ups by professors, students, researchers, and local entrepreneurs. This study uses assemblage theory to profile four UBIs. Its findings concern their process of exporting incubation models and training transnational entrepreneurs, the roles of alumni and students, and the genres and conventions of entrepreneurship.
