2021
Startups seek to create highly scalable business models. For startups, growth is thus vital. Growth hacking is a marketing strategy advocated by various startup practitioner experts. It focuses on using low cost practices while utilizing existing platforms in creative ways to gain more users for the service.

2010
Tässä tutkimuksessa kuvattiin tyypillisen nuoren yrityksen alkuvaiheen kehittymisprosessia yrityksen perustamisesta varhaisen vaiheen kasvuun. Kiinnostuksen kohteena oli ennen kaikkea selvittää, mitkä tekijät selittävät toisaalta yrityksen perustamista sekä toisaalta yrityksen kasvua.

Yrittäjyyden ja liiketoiminnan edistämistä lähestytt…

Although some studies have focused on transitions to self-employment among older workers, que…
Examining Competing Entrepreneurial Concerns in a Social Question and Answer (SQA) Platform

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…
