This case study follows the case of a small entrepreneur who faced many problems during the initial time of set-up. This work specifically mentions a few dilemmas, such as whether a family business or a partnership business is better, the role of trust in a start-up and the importance of the business partner when the start-up was started by a married couple, namely the dilemma of dual responsibility. This start-up was related to interior design business and was dealing with a wide range of products. Things were moving fine, but the dilemma started when Priya, one of the founders and a director of the company, became inactive and the other founder, Uday Upadhaya, was thinking of expanding the business.

Five more days to go until the new year, it was a warm, pleasant and busy morning in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. As the clock ticked 10 times, Aditya Bhagat (Aditya), a young, ambitious, passionate entrepreneur, is seemingly intrigued and curious. Exactly 30 minutes from now, he is scheduled to meet Surya Prasad (Surya), his friend, counterpart and co-founder of BankBuddy ( www.bankbuddy.ai ). Half the office is already empty as most of the associates had left for the year-end holidays, Aditya wanted to use this time to carefully brainstorm, methodically plan and articulate his business strategies and get them ready for execution in the new year. Marketing strategy is of particular importance, arguably the most critical and complex element that also needs the most attention in the overall exercise. He clearly understands that their current business strategy of being headquartered in Dubai and staying focused on artificial intelligence 1 (AI) powered solutions for the banking industry has paid off so well in their current geographical focus—Middle Eastern and African countries. The time now to look at next wave of business expansion. This inadvertently raises the decision dilemma of choosing the most productive and promising growth path—where and what to expand? Should they expand into more geographies? Or should they diversify the product line and add more offerings? In which country and city should they set up the new base (centroid) and which countries do they target for expansion? Which are the other promising products/offerings they should be adding to their existing lines of business? Aditya knows that today is the time to address the ‘elephant in the room’—where to invest my marketing money?

Over 20 years have passed since a free-viewpoint video technology has been proposed with which a user's viewpoint can be freely set up in a reconstructed three-dimensional space of a target scene photographed by multi-view cameras. This technology allows us to capture and reproduce the real world as recorded. Once we capture the world in a digital form, we can modify it as augmented reality (i.e., placing virtual objects in the digitized real world). Unlike this concept, the augmented world allows us to see through real objects by synthesizing the backgrounds that cannot be observed in our raw perspective directly. The key idea is to generate the background image using multi-view cameras, observing the backgrounds at different positions and seamlessly overlaying the recovered image in our digitized perspective. In this paper, we review such desired view-generation techniques from the perspective of free-view point image generation and discuss challenges and open problems through a case study of our implementations.

Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMMEs) form the majority of the enterprises in the South African economy. The South African government has identified the SMME sector as one of the potential enablers to achieve its objectives of improving job creation opportunities, reducing poverty and creating a more equitable distribution of wealth. The aim of this article was to provide a perspective on the success government support initiatives has had on the SMME sector. To achieve this, the study sought to analyse the perceived strengths and weaknesses of government’s national strategy and its institutions tasked with creating an enabling environment for the sector. The study employed a survey research design methodology in which mixed methods were used. The national business strategy employed by government was critically analysed. Empirical data was collected from 282 respondents in order to answer the research question. The results show that the government’s approach has favoured ‘supply-side interventions’ including, providing access to training, credit, mentoring and information to existing and new business. Furthermore, this study has identified the lack of awareness as the primary reason for the under-delivery of the government support initiatives in SMME development. Respondents indicated that they frequently made use of the services of business consultants and external specialists from which they perceived added more value to their respective businesses.

Business actors must understand the importance of a business model in entrepreneurship; a business strategy is needed. There are several business models, but the one most often used by business actors is the Business Model Canvas or what we usually know (BMC). According to several studies, the Business Model Canvas can still be a business model that can still be developed into a more detailed business model and better mapping. Then from the Business Model Canvas, a new business model was developed, namely the Business Road Map, to win the market competition. Business Road Map is a pattern or Business Mapping Method to build a business model/business plan capable of creating growth over time. It was found that there was a significant increase in turnover after implementing the Business Roadmap. The actual Business Road Map is a development of the Business Model Canvas. Compared to other business models, the Business Road Map is considered to be much more detailed in business mapping and can also check the business's growth.

Creating a company is an event of great uncertainty and complexity. Many variables are to be considered and trying to predict the future development of the business is particularly important. A set of market and strategic analysis instruments can help entrepreneurs to define and solve problem in the start-up phase and to understand the potentialities of business. In particular, the analysis of consumerism is a particularly important factor in order to outline the development of demand and consumer behaviour. Therefore, the first instrument is certainly the business plan; it is necessary to explain and show the aspects of the market where firms will work. This chapter analyzes, through a qualitative analysis, the techniques of market analysis useful for drawing up a business plan focused on the consumer and the dynamics of consumerism. The goal is to emphasize the role the evolutionary dynamics of the consumer and his or her preferences play in leading the company planning towards specific market positioning and in determining the business volume.

This paper describes the initial findings in an ongoing project aimed at bridging the gap between quantitative daylight simulations and visually perceived daylight quality, using 360° rendered panoramas and animations displayed in virtual reality. A daylight studio equipped with a simple façade pattern for a simultaneous Thermal Delight study was used as case study and test room. The test room was recorded with a 360° camera in sequential image series on days with different weather conditions. The resulting 360° VR time-lapse recordings were proposed for visual diurnal daylight analysis as supplement to thermal measurements used for calibrating and varying the façade pattern on site and in a corresponding thermal simulation model. A comparative experiment was set up to calibrate the perceived visual qualities and ambiance of daylight in 360° photographic panoramas viewed in VR, compared to the perceived visual qualities and ambiance of the real world site. Subjective visual evaluations of the virtual as well as the real space were recorded based on 15 people answering to a questionnaire. Results from the comparative experiment indicate a variety in perception of daylight quality and ambiance but a rather uniform perception of daylight brightness in 360° photographs that can be transferred to 360° rendered panoramas.
