Název: An overview of the literature on Science and Technology Parks, focusing on sustainable management opportunities – The internal aspect of sustainability

Zdroj: Society and Economy.
Témata: Business model, management, science and technology park, sustainability
Popis: This paper explores the key factors influencing the successful management of Science and Technology parks(STPs) through a review of the literature. By synthesising academic research, it examines how STPs ensuresustainable operations and identifies internal and external factors shaping their planning and management. Theanalysis is based on publications indexed in Scopus from 1994 to 2024, identifying the most active researchers,journals, research topics, methodologies, and institutional contributions. The methodology applied was a semi-systematic literature review. The twenty most cited and relevant studies were further examined to assess theperceived impact of STPs, key stakeholder groups, applied management models, and revenue sources. Findingsindicate that the impact of STPs on industrial actors is the most frequently studied aspect, followed by theirinteraction with higher education institutions. The evaluation of STPs remains complex, with reported impactsranging from neutral to strongly positive depending on context. Management models vary, with state ownershipbeing the most common, often through dedicated entities. Revenue sources include state subsidies alongsideincome from infrastructure and service provisions. The paper contributes to a deeper understanding of STPmanagement and highlights key considerations for future research and policy development.
