Abstract

In recent years, the technology incubation platform is facing a new ecological environment. The background of big data brought by cloud computing and big data has increased the random disturbance effect on technology incubation platform. The failure of some technology incubation platforms has caused academic controversies. This paper conducts theoretical research and empirical test for these academic controversies, and the empirical conclusions of this paper provide a more comprehensive and reasonable explanation for current academic controversies. In order to describe the failure phenomena of technology incubation platform, this paper innovatively proposes the concept of failure effects and failure coefficients, constructs failure effects model and deduces the failure mechanism formula by using the principle of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). On the basis of literature research, combined with the background characteristics of the big data, 4 dependent variables and 14 random influence variables were selected, and the Chinese technology incubator platform was taken as an example to empirically analyze failure effects model. The paper finds that the independent variables can be divided into three categories: positive, negative and partially irrelevant. When corresponding to negatively correlate variables or unrelated variables, dependent variables will show the failure phenomenon, that is, partial failure of technology incubation platform.
