Finally, economic contribution of value added activities at ports (e.g. through development of logistics parks) may also be investigated in future research (Munim and Saeed, 2016).
This last orientation is consistent with cloud computing paradigms, which are expected to enable firm to execute data transactions along their value added activities [7].
Bergek and Norrman (2008) cautions on the limited scope to which most of the incubation models are conceived as focusing primarily on results neglecting the interrelationship of the value added activities to other incubator activities.
In order to increase the regional level of innovation, the innovative capacity of its enterprises has to be measured and evaluated so as to identify limiting factors and create favorable conditions for innovation, education, and research and increase research and development activities, knowledge-intensive investment, and provision of higher value added activities.
