    Business incubators consider network management as fundamental to the generation of competitive capabilities: currently the most evolving model is known as networked incubation. However, many researchers argue that these two constructs need to be positively related. The study explores the application of Social Network Theory to the field of entrepreneurship through interconnections between incubatees and stakeholders, and the typical magnitudes of the theory. The sample comprises 18 endeavors that had the assistance of external support. The originality of the study lies in the fact that it explores the keys to the successful management of incubation from the perspective of Social Network Analysis. Finally, it provides a series of recommendations for further studies

    Las incubadoras de negocios consideran la gestión de redes como un elemento crítico para generar capacidades competitivas; el modelo más evolucionado actualmente es conocido como «incubación en red». Sin embargo, diversos investigadores aducen la necesidad de relacionar estos dos constructos positivamente. El estudio explora la aplicación de la «teoría de redes» al campo del emprendimiento a través de las interconexiones, entre incubados y grupos de interés, y las magnitudes propias de dicha teoría. La muestra comprende 18 empresas asistidas bajo la modalidad de «acompañamiento externo». Su originalidad radica en explorar las claves del éxito de la gestión de incubación desde la perspectiva del análisis de redes. Por último, se aporta una serie de recomendaciones para futuros estudios
