Software startup education around the world : A preliminary analysis
2018
New software startups are born everyday around the world. Nonetheless, failure is the fate of most of them. The community already knows that several facts, such as market competition or lack of resources, can impact the destiny of a startup. However, little has been explored in term of the impact of software startup education on the success of failure of startups. In this sense, this study presents the initial steps that we are taking to understand how software startups are taught around the world. To do so, we design a qualitative survey aimed at software startup educators at Universities. Our goal is to gather enough information so we can help the academic community in improving their own…
Barriers and wellbeing-oriented enablers of intergenerational innovation in the digital age
2021
AbstractSo far, researchers have used a wellbeing-centered approach to catalyze successful intergenerational collaboration (IGC) in innovative activities. However, due to the subject’s multidisciplinary nature, there is still a dearth of comprehensive research devoted to constructing the IGC system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill a research void by providing a conceptual framework for information technology (IT) system designers to use as a jumping-off point for designing an IGC system with a wellbeing-oriented design. A systematic literature study was conducted to identify relevant terms and develop a conceptual framework based on a review of 75 selected scientific papers. The …
Examining Competing Entrepreneurial Concerns in a Social Question and Answer (SQA) Platform
2021
This study aims to determine the competing concerns of people interested in startup development and entrepreneurship by using topic modeling and sentiment analysis on a social question-and-answer (SQA) website. Understanding the underlying concerns of startup entrepreneurs is critical to society and economic growth. Therefore, greater scientific support for entrepreneurship remains necessary, including data mining from virtual social communities. In this study, an SQA platform was used to identify the sentiment of thirty concerns of people interested in startup entrepreneurship. Based on topic modeling and sentiment analysis of 18819 inquiries in various forums on an SQA, we identified addi…
A quantitative insight into the impact and performance of seed accelerators and their accelerated start-ups
2020
El tema de investigación de esta tesis es el estudio de las aceleradoras de emprendimiento (AE), consideradas la nueva generación de incubadora de empresas (Bøllingtoft, 2012). Tanto las incubadoras como las aceleradoras permiten a las empresas jóvenes comenzar su actividad a través de un proceso de aprendizaje, consultoría e inversión, con el objetivo de aumentar sus posibilidades de supervivencia y crecimiento en el mercado durante sus primeros meses de vida (Cohen y Hochberg, 2014). El número de AE ha aumentado drásticamente desde la primera Aceleradora conocida en 2005 (Y Combinator), hasta un estimado de más de 3.000 AE en todo el mundo (Hochberg, 2016). Europa en particular, experimen…
Software Startups – A Research Agenda
2016
Software startup companies develop innovative, software-intensive products within limited timeframes and with few resources, searching for sustainable and scalable business models. Softwarestartups are quite distinct from traditional mature software companies, but also from micro-,small-, and medium-sized enterprises, introducing new challenges relevant for software engineeringresearch. This paper’s research agenda focuses on software engineering in startups, identifying,in particular, 70+ research questions in the areas of supporting startup engineering activities,startup evolution models and patterns, ecosystems and innovation hubs, human aspects in softwarestartups, applying startup conc…
THE MODERN LANDSCAPE OF EXTERNAL CORPORATE VENTURING: AN EXPLORATIVE STUDY ON THE CHOICE AMONG NEW AND TRADITIONAL CORPORATE VENTURING MODES
Abreviatūras rakstos par jauniem uzņēmumiem
2017
Uzņēmējdarbības vide pieprasa precīzu un skaidru komunikāciju, tādēļ iniciālismi un akronīmi, kā saīsinājumu veidi, saīsina garās frāzes. Šī pētnieciskā darba mērķis bija izpētīt saīsinājumu izmantošanu rakstos par jaunajiem uzņēmumiem. Turklāt pētījumā tika noteikti saīsinājumu veidi, kas parādās rakstos par jaunajiem uzņēmumiem, kā arī to izmantošanas iemesli. Lai sasniegtu mērķi un atbildētu uz pētnieciskā darba jautājumiem, tika izmantota kvantitatīvā un kvalitatīvā pētnieciskā metode. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka rakstos par jaunajiem uzņēmumiem tiek izmantoti gan iniciālismi, gan akronīmi. Turklāt tika konstatēts, ka rakstos par jaunajiem uzņēmumiem saīsinājumi tiek izmantoti garo …
100+ Metrics for Software Startups : A Multi-Vocal Literature Review
2018
Does innovativeness reduce startup survival rates?
2015
There are two competing hypotheses explaining how innovativeness influences the survival of startups: On the one hand, innovativeness is argued to foster survival-enhancing attributes (e.g., market power and cost efficiency) and capabilities (e.g., absorptive capacity). On the other hand, an innovative startup faces (and bears the associated risks of) liabilities of newness and smallness that exceed those of its non-innovative counterparts. The available empirical literature addressing this theoretical tension mostly supports the former hypothesis; we suggest that this finding is, in part, driven by the common practice of employing an ex post measure that already embodies a degree of succes…
StartCards — A method for early-stage software startups
2023
Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Author(s) Context: Software startups are important drivers of economy on a global scale, and have become associated with innovation and high growth. However, the overwhelming majority of startups ends in failure. Many of these startup failures ultimately stem from software engineering issues, and requirements engineering (RE) ones in particular. Despite the emphasis placed on the importance of RE activities in the startup context, many startups continue to develop software without a clear market or customer, having never had meaningful contact with their would-be customer. Objective: We develop a method aimed at early-stage startups that is intended to help s…
