New enterprises that produce digital solutions for businesses, public institutions, civil society, and consumers play a vital role in shaping digital economies. These dynamic start-ups most effectively integrate leading talent and sources of capital. They are driven by an urgency to succeed quickly—if they do not, they will then seek to deploy skills and resources more effectively. Governments need to establish or refine policies and mechanisms that foster vibrant start-up ecosystems, enabled by foundational technologies such as cloud computing. This paper provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges involved and suggests how policymakers can help start-ups make the most of cloud-computing technologies.

Start Ups

Start-ups have got a vital role to play in the future of India by creating innovative solutions to country’s challenging issues and also by generating large-scale job opportunities for upcoming workforce. The government has recognised the importance of start-ups in the economic development of the country, and therefore they have come with various revolutionary measures to create a conducive ecosystem for start-ups. Along with union government, various state governments also have made their state-level policies to support the start-ups in their respective states. Apart from the government, there are many other institutions and ecosystem enablers in a start-up ecosystem who support start-up units, namely incubators, accelerators, educational institutions, research institutions, investors, mentors, NGOs etc. The purpose of this study is to explore how technology business incubation centres in Kerala are performing their role as a facilitator among start-ups in the state and also to evaluate their impact on functioning of start-ups units.

Lean Startup

Una start-up es definida como una empresa destinada solucionar problemas de maneras no obvias, donde el éxito no está garantizado de antemano y, solo en los casos de éxito efectivo, se adquiere un crecimiento rápido y significativo (Robehmed, 2013). Ejemplos clásicos de start-ups serían Facebook, Uber o AirBnB que, con comienzos modestos, pero con ideas innovadoras, se convirtieron con el paso del tiempo en empresas de ingresos millonarios. Una de las tantas preguntas al respecto sería la siguiente: ¿cómo lograr una start-up de éxito a sabiendas que el éxito no está garantizado a priori y, aún más, que la gran mayoría de estas fracasan?

War For Talent

Im ‚War for Talent‘ konkurrieren heutzutage große Konzerne mit innovativen Start-ups um vielversprechenden Nachwuchs. Was bestimmt die Attraktivität von Arbeitgebern bei Medien- und Kommunikationsstudierenden? Diese Frage wird im Rahmen einer quantitativen Online-Befragung untersucht, vor allem im Hinblick darauf, ob Start-ups oder Konzerne als erste Arbeitgeber präferiert werden. Befragte, denen Prestige wichtig ist, bevorzugen eher Konzerne als Arbeitgeber. Wer Wert auf ein innovatives Arbeitsumfeld und soziale Beziehungen legt, entscheidet sich vermehrt für ein Start-up. Im Wettbewerb um die besten Köpfe sind damit junge Unternehmensgründungen inzwischen eine ernst zu nehmende Konkurrenz für Konzerne.

In this paper, various variants of decomposition of tasks in a group of robots using cloud computing technologies are considered. The specifics of the field of application (teams of robots) and solved problems are taken into account. In the process of decomposition, the solution of one large problem is divided into a solution of a series of smaller, simpler problems. Three ways of decomposition based on linear distribution, swarm interaction and synthesis of solutions are proposed. The results of experimental verification of the developed decomposition algorithms are presented, the working capacity of methods for planning trajectories in the cloud is shown. The resulting solution is a component of the complex task of building effective teams of robots.

What kind of capacity is needed to improve the performance of start-ups? How effective are government support policies in improving start-up performance? Start-ups are critical firm group for ensuring the prospective and sustainable growth of an economy, and thus many countries’ governments have established support policies and they are likely to engage more widely in forward-looking political support activities to ensure further growth and expansion. In this paper, the effect of innovation capabilities and government support policies on start-up performance is examined. We used an unbalanced panel data analysis with a random effect generalized least squares. We investigated the effect of government support policies on 4368 Korean start-ups. The findings indicated that technology and knowledge capabilities had positive effects on the sales performance of start-ups, and government financial support positively affected the relationship between knowledge capability and firm performance. However, when government financial support increased, marketing capability was negatively associated with firm performance. These results demonstrate the significant role of government financial support, including its crowding in but also its crowding out effect. Practical implications: To be more effective, governments should employ innovation-driven entrepreneurship policy approaches to support start-ups. To improve their performance, start-ups need to increase their technology and knowledge capabilities. This study extends recent efforts to understand more fully the effect of government support policies on start-ups differing in their technology, knowledge, and marketing capabilities.

AbstractStart-ups tend to form with a central idea that differentiates them from their competitors in the market. It is crucial for them to efficiently transform the idea into a marketable product. Prototyping helps to iteratively achieve a minimum viable product and plays a crucial role by enabling teams to test their ideas with limited resources early on. However, the prototyping process may have wrong focus leading to a suboptimal allocation of resources. Previously, we proposed role-based prototyping for fuzzy front-end development in small teams. It supports (1) resource allocation, (2) the definition of responsibilities, and (3) structuring the development process with milestones. In recent research this was a promising yet incomplete approach. We extend the previous work by refining the prototyping process by adding a prototyping matrix with two dimensions (purpose and lens), a prototyping cycle (plan, execute, test, reflect, assimilate), and a modified Kanban board (Protoban) for planning, managing, and reflecting cycles. This process, named PETRA was tested with a start-up developing an autonomous trash picking robot. The extended approach supported the team significantly in providing a clear idea of what to do at what time.

The Impact

PurposeDespite the significance, university student start-ups and student entrepreneurship ecosystems (SEEs) have been subject to little research. This study aims to apply a qualitative emergent enquiry approach to explore best practice SEEs in Australia, complimented by narratives from leading scholars in higher education institutions with the aim of delineating the integrative components of SEEs.Design/methodology/approachAdopting the entrepreneurial ecosystem framework and aligned to the social cognitive theory, this paper explores the components and dynamics of SEEs, contributing to an understanding of how such components can better support the growth, sustainability and success of student start-ups. The authors extend entrepreneurship research on social construction using narrative research.FindingsThe findings provide guidelines for researchers, entrepreneurship scholars and educators, entrepreneurship students, policymakers and practitioners to enhance the impact and success of university student start-ups by adopting a student ecosystem approach.Research limitations/implicationsThe narratives represent a limited number of universities with an opportunity for further research to empirically measure the impact and outcomes of SEEs. The research is exploratory, inherently conceptual and emergent, providing an opportunity for validation of narrative frameworks in future studies.Practical implicationsThe findings may assist university managers to be more aware of their own subconscious preferences to student entrepreneurship and start-up initiatives, which may be useful in refining their impact and offerings regarding a quest toward the entrepreneurial university.Social implicationsFrom social perspectives, the alignment of the components of SEE has the ability to enhance and shift the entrepreneurial mindset of entrepreneurship students, notwithstanding enhancement of intentionality and self-efficacy.Originality/valueThis is the first study of SEEs in Australia, highlighting the importance of the integration of entrepreneurship education programs, entrepreneurship education ecosystems, the entrepreneurial university and specific start-up initiatives such as university accelerators. Furthermore, students may enhance their entrepreneurial mindset by actively engaging in such ecosystems.

The 21st century is known as the industrial revolution 4.0 which changes the economy among people who grow together with modernity and technology systems. It proves that the development of human thinking on creativity will greatly affect the development of the creative economy, but this has made the market begin to be abandoned by new generations and switch to e-commerce systems. The existence of an epidemic that has begun to spread in people's lives is also one of the factors that have changed the world economy and made the market begin to be abandoned. Changes in the world economy will require revitalization so that this is used as a foundation in the formation of the Screen Market integrated with the digital system to polarize the economy. The new generation is the key to the development and balance of the economy in technology, this is in line with the entrepreneurial nature and character of the new generation, which makes them prefer to develop as start ups. The revitalization of the economic center will become a forum for interaction with the surrounding environment so that the characteristics of the formation of interaction space are the basis and the beginning of the screen market. The screen market is located on Jl Arjuna Utara which is surrounded by malls, offices, universities, making the type of retail being marketed a creative sub-sector, namely culinary with local products, fashion retail, and also craft retail managed by start ups so it is hoped that the screen market can accommodate interaction and creatively combined with digital developments. Keywords: Economy; Market; New Generation; Technology. Abstrak Abad ke-21 dikenal dengan terjadinya revolusi industri 4.0 yang mengubah  perekonomian  di kalangan masyarakat yang bertumbuh bersama dengan sistem modernitas dan juga teknologi.
