Business Model Canvas Should Pay More Attention to the Software Startup Team

2020

Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a tool widely used to describe startup business models. Despite the various business aspects described, BMC pays a little emphasis on team- related factors. The importance of team-related factors in software development has been acknowledged widely in literature. While not as extensively studied, the importance of teams in software startups is also known in both literature and among practitioners. In this paper, we propose potential changes to BMC to have the tool better reflect the importance of the team, especially in a software startup environment.

Scholars suggest that family-owned businesses can capitalize on their family ties by promoting the fact that they are family-owned in their marketing communications. Existing research suggests that promoting the familial component of a family-owned business can evoke positive associations with the business' stakeholders, increase employee loyalty and motivation, and be a source of competitive advantage against non-family businesses. Although there is an increasing awareness that family-owned businesses can benefit from promoting the fact that they are family-owned in their marketing and branding efforts, very little literature exists on how such a strategy is effectively implemented.

Entrepreneurial choices depend on trust : Some global evidence

2022

Interpersonal trust and people’s trust in institutions are important components of social capital, which has been shown to have not only innate social value but also diverse direct and indirect positive social and economic impacts.

Our findings suggest that (1) enhancing either type of trust leads to more entrepreneurial activity and (2) an increase in interpersonal trust causes a structural change in the composition of the TEA-type entrepreneurship. Increased trust reduces the share of relatively lower…
