employees working in business incubators in Gaza Strip in addition to experts and consultants in incubators,
where their total number reached (62) Individually, the researchers used the questionnaire as a main tool for
collecting data through the comprehensive survey method, where (55) questionnaires were retrieved with a
recovery rate (88.7%.). The results of the study showed that there is a high approval of all dimensions of the
balanced scorecard, as it obtained a relative weight (81.44%), and the order of its dimensions came as follows,
first came the incubation dimension with a relative weight (84.89%), followed by the learning dimension, which
got a relative weight (82.50%), and in the third place came the entrepreneur dimension with a relative weight

study came out with several recommendations, the most important of which is that business incubators seek to
adopt the application of the balanced scorecard as a method for managing it and a tool for measuring and
evaluating its performance, and the need to periodically evaluate its performance, and the need to hold training
courses for workers in incubators to introduce them to the balanced scorecard and how to apply it.
