Book review: State of Entrepreneurship Support through Incubators in India

Entrepreneurial ecosystem is a very active area of research both conceptually and empirically, yet most literature that emerged over the last two decades predominantly pertain to developed economies. At the same time, transitioning and emerging economies have continued to grow rapidly, making a strong case to study entrepreneurial ecosystems in emerging economies (Bruton et al., 2018). Ecosystems are broad constructs and the constitutive elements of an ecosystem are themselves complex (Stam, 2015). Hence exploring key elements of the ecosystem in depth to understand the mechanisms of how entrepreneurship is supported through intermediary organizations like incubators is a fruitful exercise. In this context, we review the book "Technology Business Incubators in India Structure, Role and Performance" which is a timely synthesis for academic researchers and practitioners, looking to explore the topic as it pertains to emerging economies. The book is part of the De Gruyter Studies in Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems series, that covers pertinent ecosystems issues around universities, and sustainability by leading authors.
