Research on Performance Evaluation and Countermeasures of Technology Business Incubators Based on DEA Method:A Case Study of Anhui Province
[Objective/Significance]Conducting performance evaluation on technology business incubators not only helps improve their own operational management level,but also has important significance for government departments to formulate targeted policies to guide the healthy development of incubators.[Methods/Processes]This article uses the DEA method to take the human,material,and financial resources invested in technology business incubators as input variables,and the economic,incubation,and social benefits as output variables to construct a performance evaluation index system.Using relevant statistical data of technology business incubators in Anhui Province from 2019 to 2022,the comprehensive technical efficiency,pure technical efficiency,and scale efficiency of technology business incubators in 16 cities throughout the province were empirically analyzed.[Limitations]The DEA method has limitations on the number of input-output indicators,and further refinement of the impact indicators is needed in subsequent research.[Results/Conclusions]Research has found that technology business incubators in most cities in Anhui Province are in the effective state of DEA,but some cities such as Bengbu,Fuyang and Huangshan have not achieved the best input-output benefits.Based on research conclusions and combined with field research,this article proposes countermeasures and suggestions for the future development of technology business incubators.
