The emergence of changes in various aspects of human life due to the global pandemic COVID-19 not only affects large or multi-national companies, but it also has several impacts on SMEs.  Over the numerous barriers and unreadiness of SMEs in facing technological developments, they are forced by circumstances to immediately adapt and digitize their business processes.  Universities, through its richness of research and resources are believed to be appropriate agent to help SMEs overcome this completely new situation.  Universities are expected to be able to generate innovations, providing such opportunities to SMEs to build their competitive advantage to keep sustain in this uncomfortable condition.  One option that can be done is to incubate the SMEs in the university business incubator. However, to date, research that related to university business incubators specializing in managing SMEs is still very limited. Current research on business incubators is dominated by studies of business incubators related to start-ups and new  technology-based firm . Therefore, this research was conducted to develop a conceptual model of university business incubator with the main objective of helping the SMEs to digitize the business they run. This research was conducted using the literature study method and obtained a university business incubator model consisting of four components or stages, namely preparation, pre-incubation, incubation, and post-incubation.

Discussion Section

Since antiquity, human activity and technological innovations endanger environmental balance. Any new technology generates more business activity, leading to increased resource extraction and waste and directly menacing natural ecosystems. As a result, technological progress and economic growth are based on unsustainable practices. In the last few decades, ICT has accelerated and globalized business activity and many problems emerged as scarcity of natural resources, global warming, and population growth are only few of them. For less than 20 years, information technologies made the world smaller and smarter. ICT transformed all aspects of human life including business processes and practices, communication, logistics and transportation, learning, entertainment, commerce, and many others. The present research aims to outline some of the challenges to new technologies and IT/IS practices. It proposes a practice-oriented framework for adoption of green IT/IS strategy in companies. While literature is dominated by specific technological issues, businesses still miss the general vision of sustainable/green/clean technologies and how to adopt green IT/IS. Therefore, the discussion section of this chapter proposes an analysis of wider practices and initiatives leading to green IT/IS.

Since antiquity technological innovations endanger environmental balance and there is major need to keep this balance in check. Any new technology generates more business activity, leading to increased resource extraction and waste and directly affecting natural ecosystems. Thus technological progress and economic growth are based on unsustainable practices. In the last few decades, information and communication technologies (ICT) accelerated globalized business activity by making the world smaller, more connected and smarter. ICT gradually transformed all aspects of human life including work, learning, and leisure; it has a global impact on business processes and practices, communication, logistics and transportation, finance, and commerce among other aspects. This resulted in wealth accumulation, resource depletion and social divide which have led to problems, directly and indirectly, such as scarcity of natural resources, global warming, climate change, population growth, and increasing youth unemployment. This chapter outlines some of the challenges of the new technologies and ICT practices. It proposes a practice-oriented framework for adoption of more sustainable ICT strategy in companies.

The importance of business incubators to support the growth of start-ups cannot be overemphasized especially in developing country such as Indonesia. This study aims to determine the most appropriate model that competent to provide an accurate depiction of the role of a business incubator on cultivating innovation of startups during the incubation process. It is conducted by using a case of Bandung Techno Park (BTP) as one of the first business incubators in Indonesia that positioned itself as an incubator for technology-based start-ups. The data were collected by ensuring the credibility, transferability, dependability, and conformability by adopting triangulation as the primary method. Informants were recruited from different stakeholder groups and provided with the opportunity to verify the result of the interviews. The findings show that there are none of the existing models that are able to provide a complete yet accurate depiction of BTP functioning. Almost all of the models suffer from lack of means to accommodate the learning process that must be undergone by start-ups during the incubation process. In order to respond to this gap, this study offered minimum requirements that must be satisfied by any incubator models.

Methodological Aspects

Business incubators that are hosted by universities provide researchers and students from first cycle (undergraduate), second cycle (master), and third cycle (PhD) with ample opportunities for self-realization. However, these incubators primarily offer support in advising and developing new projects, such as creating competencies in research and applying new technologies, but they do not fully provide the entrepreneurial culture and leadership skills necessary for young entrepreneurs to turn ideas into reality. In this regard, it is very important to elaborate and create the structure of internal and external processes of the incubator right from the beginning. It is necessary to substantiate in detail the allocation of each element and determine the stakeholders and the type of activity, that form the model for structure and functionality of a business incubator hosted by a university. The purpose of the article is to reveal the methodological aspects oriented towards the formation of the structure and functioning of business incubators located in the academic environment which would allow the organization of internal and external processes for researchers and students of different cycles. It was found that the business incubator located within the University environment is a link within a complex system whose success depends on external factors, such as the macroeconomic situation, legal system in which the incubator carries out its activity and entrepreneurial culture, but also on internal factors, such as: technical-scientific, the abilities of the academic (university) staff, team activity, access to financial sources and programs, etc. The methodology of structuring university business incubators and their internal processes is an important factor in their development, as it provides an opportunity to evaluate and monitor the activities of these incubators.
