Start-Up

With mass-market e-readers available on a large scale, digitization has finally reached book publishing, as well, having already conquered other creative industries like music and press publishing. Traditional definitions of books no longer apply, nor do traditional ways of value creation and capture seem to work. "[Publishing is] not a job anymore.

La doctrine s’est déjà penchée à de nombreuses reprises sur les assurtechs, la menace concurrentielle qu’elles pourraient représenter pour les acteurs traditionnels de l’assurance ou encore sur les technologies dont elles font usage. Elle semble en revanche s’être moins intéressée à l’étude des relations que ces assurtechs nourrissent avec les acteurs du marché qu’elles viennent disrupter.
Cette recherche a donc pour objectif de déterminer différentes catégories d’assurtech. De qualifier les relations de partenariat, de dépendance ou de compétition qu’elles développeront entre elles et avec les acteurs traditionnels du marché. La nature de ces relations sera fonction de leurs caractéristiques et des besoins des acteurs traditionnels dans leur effort de transformation digitale. Des data primaires et secondaires, qualitatives et quantitatives sont employés afin de déterminer un schéma des relations inter-organisationnelles du marché de l’assurance enrichi de ces nouveaux acteurs.
Ces recherches ont conduit à conclure que les stratégies le plus performantes conduiront à voir naitre des écosystèmes composés d’assurtech conceptrices de produit d’assurance et d’assurtech de soutien à la digitalisation entourant des groupes d’assurance traditionnels. Viendront s’ajouter à cet écosystème des prestataires de services liés directement ou indirectement au service d’assurance proposé. Cette nouvelle logique d’écosystème élargira donc la fonction d’assurance de ces acteurs à celle de protection.
Ce model emportera des conséquences majeures sur le marché de l’assurance, sa dynamique, ses facteurs clefs de succès et bouleversera sa logique financière. C’est par des observations et recommandations managériales basées sur cette analyse et les pronostics qui en découlent que se conclura cette recherche

The following report was compiled for two reasons. The first, to define and explore the mechanics of hyperlocal start-up investing. The second, to analyze the start-up community of Greater Lafayette while attempting to make an investment case, under the hyperlocal model, for this community.

In the following sections of the introduction, the report discusses in greater detail, the theory behind hyperlocal start-up investing, how it can work in practice, and the appeal of Greater Lafayette as a local market for hyperlocal investment. Following the introduction, the second section of the report breaks down the local market, provides demographic and economic data, resource analysis, and insight on the start-ups currently in the market. The third section of this report will make an investment case for the local market of Greater Lafayette. The investment model focuses specifically on Purdue University related start-ups and intellectual property (“IP”) as this appears to be the most robust source of start-up activity in the local market.

The research conducted by Gold Sail in the production of this report takes an in-depth look at the start-up community in Greater Lafayette, and the companies that make it up. It became clear early on that there are several factors, both intrinsic and manufactured, about the community that make it a strong candidate for the hyperlocal method. Once this model is laid over the framework created by the existing qualities of the community, Gold Sail found it relatively straightforward to make a strong case for why this start-up community in particular would make for a good place to attempt this methodology.

Collaborative relationships between businesses and nonprofits have grown tremendously in the last few years. These cross-sector alliances are different from within-sector alliances (business-business alliances) which has been examined in prior research, and include corporate philanthropy, corporate foundations, licensing agreements, sponsorships, transaction based promotions, joint issue promotions, and joint ventures. This paper discusses the growth, size, and scope of various business and nonprofit collaborative relationships and develops a typology of these relationships. Motivations for businessnonprofit collaborations and expected outcomes are presented as well as fruitful topics for further investigation.

Many new product innovations are attributed to new venture creation. Although there are many success cases, many new
ventures quit before they have fulfilled their greatest potential mainly because the team quits their effort. This research tries
to delve into several factors that affect the dynamics of an entrepreneurial team along the different stages of the new venture
creation process. Given such direction, primary data from 12 entrepreneurial teams are undertaken within an incubator
environment, which is an underresearched context. An in-depth study of these entrepreneurial teams suggests numerous
determinants (variation in the intentions and expectations, improper leadership, ineffective communication, engagement,
team structure) to have a serious effect on team dynamics and team cohesiveness. Following a grounded theory approach,
specific research propositions are formulated and theoretical insights are drawn. Moreover, the results of this research assist
nascent entrepreneurs in assessing their potential, recognizing critical team dynamics, and basing their choice on moving to
a sustainable new venture creation.

This chapter considers the relationship between the U.S. federal income tax system and innovation, using the sharing economy as a focal point for analysis. It makes two main points. First, the tax system is currently a questionable tool for encouraging innovation. Regulators are understandably concerned that taxpayers will use tax incentive provisions in unanticipated ways, and thus are inclined to tightly limit such provisions’ scope. This reduces incentive provisions’ net benefit to taxpayers, and can even cause such provisions to miss their marks entirely. Moreover, small and new companies are key drivers of innovation, and evidence suggests that they are relatively unresponsive to tax incentives.

Second, innovation can help improve the tax system. To fix a problem, one must first identify it; innovation provides opportunities to see where tax law is achieving its goals and where it is falling short. The sharing economy experience suggests some strengths, such as the tax system’s definition of income, as well as weaknesses, such as the dividing line between independent contractors and employees.

Semakin hari semakin banyak bermunculan model bisnis baru. Awalnya kita mengenal dengan sebutan bisnis UMKM namun, pada era sekarang bermunculan nama baru yakni bisnis start up. Kemungculan model bisnis ini membuat persaingan di dunia bisnis rintisan awal semakin berat. Jika dibandingkan pengelolaan bisnis start up dengan bisnis UMKM, start up jauh lebih baik mengelolanya. Hal ini terlihat dari struktur organisasi yang ada pada start up jauh lebih baik dibandingkan dengan bisnis UMKM. Sehingga dengan organisasi tersebut perusahaan start up mampu berbicara banyak dibandingkan bisnis UMKM.

The present document is an intrapreneurship proposal for reducing significantly the water consumption of selected domestic households by building customised rainwater collection systems. The value proposition for the client is to generate sufficiently high volumes of usable water from rain with the intention of significantly reducing water bills and sustaining a sufficiently large stock for drought periods.  The business intention is to create a wholly-owned subsidiary business unit, called “FreeRain”, operating with the existing resources of Sotravic Ltée in order to contribute profitable revenue and at the same time formalise the training process of direct labour – specifically pipe layers – within the company. The business venture will be operated from the head office of Sotravic itself, and will cover all the sites where the company is awarded the construction of reticulation (water or sewerage) networks.

The term globalisation suggests ideas that resemble a process of homogenisation in a global scale.  However, empirical evidence suggests that in numerous places a revitalisation of the local has taken place.  Free Cities are spaces of local revitalisation that have resulted in and from globalisation.  This thesis analyses the development of libertarian Free Cities in Honduras after a Constitutional Crisis that took place in 2009 cut off many of the networks to the global markets of the country for several months.  As a result of this political crisis, politicians and entrepreneurs in Honduras allied and sought for radical ideological changes to the ways in which they took part in international trade.  In 2011 a law creating an autonomous territory inside of Honduras was enacted, and by 2013 a new law modified the Constitution to create the first Free City territories in the world.  A critical analysis of the ideology behind these city projects is the methodology used to do an examination of the ideas behind Libertarianism with interviews done to leaders behind this movement.  The thesis focuses on a critical discussion of the discourse of the interviewees and on how are these ideas relevant to the further perspectivisation of the theories of modernity, globalisation and territorialisation in the field of city building studies.  As well, in understanding how the ideas of the Libertarian ideologues that promote the projects are being reshaped and altered by local, regional and global processes and transformations.

Stamen. La rivista pubblica numeri monotematici, a cadenza semestrale, il cui corpo centrale è costituito da articoli scientifici inediti. In linea con l'interesse per le pratiche filosofiche, l'indagine sul tema di ciascun numero potrà occasionalmente essere integrata e arricchita da saggi-intervista, nella specifica sezione "Pratiche". Infine, la rivista si riserva di ospitare, su ciascun numero, uno o più interventi extra-tematici in una rubrica intitolata "Filosofia e…", dedicata al confronto (o all'incontro e alle sue modalità) tra la filosofia e le altre discipline.

This article is an initial step to reach a conceptual understanding on young entrepreneurs in sociological studies. Many studies pertaining to entrepreneurship have been found in various discipline of studies, however, nothing of note has been found particularly in connection to the concept of youth. The current reality in Indonesia precisely exhibits multiple entrepreneurship activities targeting young people as organizers and participants. The identity of entrepreneur is constructed by tracing and researching the variety of important concepts observed in various literature (written by economy, sociology, and entrepreneurship experts) concerning entrepreneur action. Entrepreneur identity has 4 dimensions: triggering event, innovation, action strategy of start-up arrangement (as stated in the business plan/model), and entrepreneurship implementation. Entrepreneur identity will be discussed by using multiple data obtained from YouTube in the form of speeches, lectures, and interviews of young entrepreneurs until an understanding is ultimately acquired regarding the identity of young entrepreneurs’ base of action by analyzing their emphasis on what they do as entrepreneurs. The discussion develops further as the identity touches on a more complex social context: social welfare, hence, young entrepreneurs also have the identity of young entrepreneurs’ social movement comprising of three phases: initiation, strategic, and control. Keywords: youth; entrepreneur; identity; start-up business; innovation.

In this paper, we examine strategies of business incubation in the following countries: the USA, Germany, and Russia using both a comparative theoretical analysis of different performance criteria of business incubators and interviewing experts who work directly with startup companies. We find that there are more differences than similarities between the strategies of business incubation in these countries. The USA prove to be far ahead of Germany and especially Russia in supporting start-ups. The study might impact a business practice in the way of clarifying the most significant characteristics and general trends of business incubation strategies in the countries mentioned to take them into account in the process of launching and developing startup companies in one or another country.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the logics underpinning a district’ start-up. Since districts are based on a set of strategic relationships between the members, the role of leading-governing actor is of fundamental importance for the diffusion of cooperative behaviors, trust and commitment.
This is the reason why the current research deepens the literature on strategic entrepreneurship, adopting a specific focus on entrepreneurial capabilities.
Furthermore, the paper examines, through a case study analysis, two districts (Databenc and Visit Peak District & Derbyshire) in order to understand the exploited entrepreneurial capabilities in
the star-up phase and its consequent commercialization.

The business model construct is increasingly widespread among academia despite an ongoing debate on its being a blueprint of activities or a dynamic cognitive tool. However, in the dynamic perspective stream of literature based on a four-dimensions definition, academics lack clarity on triadic business models – business models with two types of clients that are linked to two-sided markets – and on how entrepreneurs conceive such platforms in the digital era. To address this gap, I conducted over two years an inductive, longitudinal research on four digital, early-stage start-ups that all have a primary triadic business model. This research is based on the Gioia methodology which favors deep immersion on the subject over time, informant-centric coding and iterative phases of data collection and analysis. I uncovered several mechanisms summarized in three frameworks. First, the emergence of the triadic configuration happens at a stage with many iterations between customer engagement, customer identification and monetization: the triadic pinballing stage or the thinking and articulating phases of business modelling. Second, the triadic setting of a business model has prerequisites for all four dimensions of the business model as shown in the triadic business model genesis process or the doing phase of business modelling. Third, digital early-stage start-ups are often rapidly supplementing their original business model with a portfolio of business models for revenue generation and profitability reasons. Three main portfolio strategies exist: replication, innovation and recombination. Fourth, the business model construct is a strong link between the strategy and information systems literatures, therefore, information systems scholars should consider it as the value architecture they call for in researching the choice space. Fifth, enabling technologies are key components and enablers of digital start-ups when performing triadic business modelling (triadic pinball and triadic genesis process) without which we cannot explain the dynamics of business modelling. This research has several limitations with the chosen methodology, the boundary conditions and the geographical scope of start-ups scrutinized. Future research should explore sensing in the case of digital start-ups, platforms operating in multi-sided markets, the links between big data and business operations, legitimacy building for early-stage start-ups and materiality or the representation of triadic business models. In addition, I have also contributed by creating sets of matrices for entrepreneurs to answer questions when business modelling creating answers on right choices to ensure revenue generation.

Individuals who create business and employment are entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is actually the ability to develop and sustain a business associated with risk, and ultimately make profit. Every entrepreneur aims to make profit for his own concern. Entrepreneurship is also associated with conversion of new innovation and technology into business, which ultimately generates employment and profit in the economy and thus the entrepreneurs contribute towards the growth of an economy. According to Schumpeter, innovation in business is the primary reason for increased investment and business ups-and-downs in an economy. Recently, women entrepreneurship in India is also making a mark in the society. Indian women have started taking initiative to make a start-up and start their career as entrepreneurs with small businesses and they are having success in their field as well. This means women in our society are progressive and capable of sustaining a business, which in turn helps in economic growth. Hence, the study also focuses on the women entrepreneur’s contribution to the society. Along with this, the paper has also tried to focus on the growth aspects of entrepreneurship and its impact on the society and economy. Innovation in business improvises it as well as the role of the entrepreneur. It helps entrepreneurs to take decision to implement these new innovations in the business by taking risk and uncertainty. The paper will also highlight on this aspect of use of innovation by entrepreneurs in business expansion and analyse its impact on the sustainable growth of Indian economy.

Small Scale Industry (SSI) is being the heart of Indian economy and employment. The developing country like India, its contribution is highly inevitable. It provides a platform for innovative, effective and efficient entrepreneurial spirit. In India, it is extremely heterogeneous in the mode of the nature of the industry, size of the enterprises and several of product and service and also the technologies which undertaking wherein. It reduces regional imbalances and also assuring equitable distribution of national income and wealth through industrialization of rural and backward areas. According to Economic Times in June 2013, small scale industry occupies close to 40 percent of India's workforce. After the implementation of New Industrial Policy (NIP) in 1991, small scale industries obtained various changes, challenges and issues which influenced the industry positively and negatively as well. This study attempted to highlight the significant and contribution of SSI in entrepreneurship development and generating the employment opportunities in India before and after the globalization that is from the period of 42 years from 1974-1975 to 2005-2006. In the year of 2006 on October 2, Indian government enacted MSMED Act, 2006 which was another reform of this industry. Hence the study considered the first reform period upto 2005-2006 only. It is concluded that the post reform period recorded high volume of entrepreneurship and employment based on paired sample t-test.
