    Product innovation is as a vital tool for nascent entrepreneurs seeking to achieve a competitive advantage. This study investigates the integrated and complex relationships that exist between innovation and entrepreneurship by using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Entrepreneurial product innovation is tested with second-order factors comprised of entrepreneurial personality, technological opportunity and incubator resources. For this purpose, the empirical research used data from 389 incubated start-ups in Thailand. The study found that these three antecedents are significant for product innovation with effects of varying size. The study magnifies the prominent role of business incubators in fostering entrepreneurial capabilities to boost new products/services. Moreover, the findings suggest that the incubation centre resources mediate the influence of entrepreneurial characteristics by expediting and facilitating product innovation. © by author(s); CC-BY.

    Opportunity recognition plays a central role in the emergence of nascent ventures in entrepreneurship research. The main purpose of this study was to present the mediating effects of opportunity recognition on incubation resources and human capital. Moreover, the study scrutinises the complex inter-relations between opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial product innovation. The data were collected from 389 incubated software start-ups in Thailand and statistically performed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed a persistent impact of the opportunity recognition on the incubation resources and human capital. Opportunity recognition also serves as a significant driver in enhancing entrepreneurial potential to boost new products/services. Interestingly, the study found that the human capital of incubated software entrepreneurs has no significant effect, statistically, on product innovation, against the better judgement of business empires worldwide. © Imperial College Press.

    The aim of this study was to investigate convenient spectroscopic evaluation method of Para rubber quality. Ultra violet-near infrared (UV-NIR 370-1085 nm) spectra of latex were measured in transmittance mode. Calibrations for total solid content (TSC) and dry rubber content (DRC) were developed using spectral data set with aid of partial least square regression analysis using 57 samples. UV-NIR spectra of latex provided good regression models between measured and predicted values of TSC and DRC with determination coefficient for cross-validation of 0. 96 and 0. 97, respectively. The ranks were 2 and 1, respectively. This study suggests high accuracy in-line quality control of latex using UV-NIR spectroscopy. The long wavelength NIR spectra of bark were scanned to check the feasibility of on-site evaluation of latex quality by measuring the NIR spectra of standing tree. From the observation of near infrared spectra, it was shown that there was more latex signal in outer part of wood bark than in inner part of wood bark. This result suggests that the focal point should be on the outer part of bark to get the signal of latex when we measure the spectra of standing tree. © 2012 The Japan Wood Research Society.
