Diaspora Start-Up Programs and Creative Industries: Evidence from Romania
2021
Romania is one of the main countries of origin for intra-European migration. The national authorities recently implemented the first major program —Diaspora Start-up—to support the business initiatives of Romanian citizens who live abroad and who are interested in opening a business in their home country. This scheme was developed in parallel with a broader program—Romania Start-up Plus—which was designed to support the entrepreneurial initiatives of individuals residing inside the country. These programs have already supported over 8,600 non-agricultural start-ups created in urban areas. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the two programs based on different criteria and explore…

Shedding Light on Early Stage Academic Entrepreneurship : Finnish University Researchers' View on Key Stakeholder Relations and Their Influence on th…
2020
Since the mid-1980s, along with the opening up of the Finnish economy, the pressure to commercialize university research has steadily increased in Finland. This is in line with the growing importance of innovations in an ever-globalizing world in which purely production- cost-based strategies are about to become obsolete. However, in comparison to other Nordic countries and Western European industrial countries, Finnish investments in research have fallen short in their ability to increase high-technology export levels (Kotiranta and Tahvanainen 2018). Moreover, Finnish academia faces challenges in creating university-based economic activity (Nikulainen and Tahvanainen 2013). In order to he…
Uzņēmējdarbības attīstība Limbažu novadā
2015
Uzņēmējdarbības attīstība vienmēr ir bijis aktuāls jautājums, kas īpaši populārs ir kļuvis pēdējā laikā, kad daudzi jaunie uzņēmēji, izstrādājot biznesa plānus un vēloties īstenot savas idejas, piedalās un iesaistās dažādos uzņēmējdarbības atbalsta pasākumos. Šobrīd tiek aktualizēti ne tikai vietējā mēroga, bet arī Baltijas jūras reģiona valstu un visas Eiropas mēroga atbalsta projekti dažādām uzņēmēju grupām. Limbažu novadā uzņēmējdarbības atbalsta pasākumi netiek īpaši aktualizēti, tādēļ tika veikta izpēte, lai noskaidrotu, cik lielā mērā vietējie uzņēmēji tos pārzina un arī izmanto. Aptaujājot novada uzņēmējus un analizējot viņu sniegto informāciju, tika izdarīti secinājumi par samērā pa…
Zachowania przedsiębiorcze Polaków i formy wspomagania rozwoju przedsiębiorczości w Polsce
2016
Przemiany społeczno-gospodarcze w Polsce po 1989 roku znalazły odzwierciedlenie w zmianie postaw Polaków związanych z przedsiębiorczością i innowacyjnością. Brak osobistych doświadczeń w tym zakresie i swego rodzaju eksperymentowanie z przedsiębiorczością stały się okazją do uruchomienia różnych form wparcia tego typu aktywności i jej wykorzystania w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym regionu i kraju. Skuteczność ich uruchomienia wymaga zbudowania spójnej polityki przedsiębiorczości, innowacyjności i rozwoju podmiotów sektora MŚP, opartej na działaniach administracji publicznej, biznesu, nauki i edukacji. W opracowaniu wykorzystano analizę wyników międzynarodowego badania Global Entrepreneurshi…

Business model scaling and growth hacking in digital entrepreneurship
2023
Creating an innovative product and validating an innovative business model may not be enough for digital startups to be competitive. To grow fast and expand globally, digital startups need to innovate their business model during the scaling phase. A pragmatic approach has recently been proposed to support digital entrepreneurs engaging in business-model innovation during the scaling phase (i.e., business-model scaling), a strategy known as growth hacking. However, we know little about its theoretical grounding and how effective growth hacking is, as businesses lack methodologies to assess its effectiveness before committing resources and investments. To fill this gap, we developed a method …
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…
How do rural areas profile in the futures dreams by the Finnish youth?
2016
Abstract Demographic trends do not give much hope for rural regions in developed economies. Many studies prescribe rural futures as manifestations of consumption of the countryside by an urban majority. However, many of these macro-images and typologies lack explicit micro-agency. This article illustrates what are the expectations from personal futures in rural areas, where specifically and by whom. The respondents of a national survey represented the Finnish youth, who described their dream future in 2030 in terms of livelihood, accommodation and lifestyle recipe. Analysis of the dreams resulted in distinct regional profiles. Urban-adjacent rural areas are profiled as places for a cosy lif…
