Assessing Science Parks' Performance: Seleceted European and Croatian Case Studies

This paper aims to provide a better understanding of science and technology parks and role they play in increasing the innovation and competitiveness of the economy. Paper presents a theoretical framework of science and technology parks and empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of some selected European and Croatian science and technology parks. Analysed European examples suggest that the establishment of such organisational forms is a very powerful impetus to development of knowledge-based economy. Research results in science parks in Croatia, indicates that such organisational form is only in its infancy and has not been sufficiently exploited in contributing to the development of knowledge-based economy. These results indicate that necessary changes and systematic approach to the development of science and technology parks in Croatia is needed.
