The Perception of Entrepreneurial Success in University Incubators at the University of Douala-Cameroon (UDO)

T: The objective of this article is to understand the perception of incubated entrepreneurs on the notion of entrepreneurial success. It adopts a qualitative approach based on the content analysis of discourses collected from eight entrepreneurs from the two business incubation centers of the University of Douala. The horizontal and vertical manual analysis of the data reveals results that confirm the definitional complexity of the concept of entrepreneurial success. Moreover, entrepreneurial success is more likely to be assessed by subjective elements related to the motivation of the incubated entrepreneurs. However, objective criteria do not stand aside.
