Type: article

Abstract: Science Parks (SPs) are expected to boost the growth and capabilities of their tenant companies, most research on their performance focuses on the outcomes or performance of these companies.However, SPs are in social ecosystems with responsibilities to a range of stakeholders, including tenant companies, the community, residents, and employees.This paper explores how different stakeholders evaluate SPs, and the relations between perceptual attributes and benefits from the perspective of stakeholders.We took Zizhu national SP as a case study and found that this relationship is affected by the heterogeneity of various factors, including the type and size of the company, the respondent's role, and the position of employees etc.We identify the top three attributes and three benefits and explored their relations.This paper provides a detailed and nuanced view of their roles within the broader ecosystem.
