Therefore, this article aims are to provide an overview of the start-up process and the relationship between different business skills, as well as how they relate to the students’ intentions. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 92 students who had to study/graduated in Business Administration. The survey asked participants to rate themselves based on their creativity, ambiguity, marshaling, finance and self-efficacy skills. The results can help universities develop curricula that combine teaching skills to equip both the knowledge and skills needed for students or those who want to be successfully entrepreneurs.

This chapter examines the current evolving publishing framework in Australia and the relationship between authors and their publishers, noting the competing interests of the various subaltern spheres (such as the “author sphere” and “publisher sphere”) within the greater public sphere. A comparison between a standard publisher’s contract and the model contract recommended by the Australian Society of Authors (ASA) provides a source for analysis and discussion, which relevantly reflects the nature of the relationship between author and publisher. The issue of digital publishing is investigated to ascertain what constitutes an equitable arrangement for authors. Finally, new business models in publishing are considered and observations are made on copyright protection measures on the Internet, alternative licensing models such as the Creative Commons and the “honesty box” model used by some authors. A brief discussion of the anti-copyright actions of Google is also included, and in conclusion, the author-publisher power balance is addressed, taking into account the different characteristics of print books and ebooks.

Transforming economies such as the BRIC countries – Ex-Soviet Republics, or Eastern European countries – share national aspirations of becoming innovation economies. These aspirations have stimulated a push for entrepreneurship and experimentation with new ways of doing things. This has created a fascinating context for research on business model innovation, relating to the way incumbent firms adapt their business models or come up with entirely new models. Similarly, new business models may be originated by start-up companies that often are challenging and leapfrogging the ‘tired’ old business models or simply invent new ones. However, research that specifically explores indigenous business model innovation in the context of these transforming economies is still in its early stages. The MOR special issue on ‘Business Model Innovation in Transforming Economies’ aims to address this gap by soliciting research uncovering successful new business models that is indigenous to these economies, as they transition to becoming innovation economies themselves and contribute to strategy and management theory development.

Today we are witnessing a paradigm shift when it comes to the industry. There are chances that Industry 4.0 does not only involve major changes in production and business solutions, but also the ability of many enterprises (mainly production companies) to come closer to developed economies. This article highlights the aspect of creating new business models that integrate organizations around Industry 4.0 solutions and create new value for the client and internal client. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between the implementation of selected Industry 4.0 technologies as well as the knowledge and preparation of employees for changes caused by new solutions, e.g., in the area of the automation and robotization of industry or data and information management. The questionnaire research was conducted among 80 logistics companies in Poland and 80 in Malaysia. Based on the obtained data, a statistical analysis was conducted of the relationships between the above-mentioned variables. The analysis concerned: the employees’ knowledge of the Industry 4.0 paradigm, preparing employees for challenges and the implementation of Industry 4.0 technology. The correlation analysis showed the existence of a statistical relationship between the analysed variables. The analysis of quantitative data showed differences between Poland and Malaysia in terms of employee preparation, their knowledge of Industry 4.0 and activities related to the implementation of specific IR4.0 technologies. The presented analysis relates to one of the analysed areas, therefore it is a contribution to further considerations and comparisons.

Digital disruption is a worldwide phenomenon whereby digital technology brings new business models that disrupt existing markets. Business models have become key to digital disruption, as the universal language of innovation from invention. The latest business models shift from pipeline material flow to knowledge creation in platforms. Open innovation is part of platform business models. Business models are now financed directly, which has created the lean start-up movement. Start-ups enter markets with no barriers and force incumbents to race them with the ability to compete based on business models and match start-up agility and creativity. One of the world's top innovators, Siemens, a company where innovation is strategy, uses the latest tools for innovation: open innovation for technology invention, business models to turn invention into innovation, and finances business models. A large company, Siemens has created an inner structure that intends to bring the advantages of the lean start-up movement indoors.
