Entrepreneurs and their ventures are often portrayed as unambiguously positive forces in society. Specifically, high technology and equity-funded startups are heralded for their innovative products and services that are believed to alter the economic, social, and even political fabric of life in advantageous ways. This chapter draws on established theory on the causes of misconduct in and by organizations to elaborate the factors that can give rise to misconduct in entrepreneurial ventures, illustrating our arguments with case material on both widely known and less well-known instances of entrepreneurial misconduct. In venturing into the dark side of entrepreneurship, we hope to contribute to theory on entrepreneurship and organizational misconduct, augment entrepreneurship pedagogy, and offer ideas and examples that can enhance entrepreneurs’ awareness of their susceptibility to wrongdoing.

The paper outlines the critical rational of change readiness for entrepreneurial ventures. It is very difficult for innovative startups to assess correctly customers’ response prior to actual entry. The probability of success increases when the venture adapts quickly to the feedback derived from users.It is proposed that a proper and timely adaptation can be directed by applying systematic elements of change readiness. These elements are discussed with special attention to the unique characteristics of information gathering and interpretation in the case of new innovative products.

Today’s modern lifestyle and contemporary ways of working and gaining knowledge in schools and universities could not be imagined without high technology – the Internet. Simply said, internet entered all the pores of contemporary life in big style. If used rationally, internet can truly facilitate work in all spheres of modern man’s life. However, internet also has a dark side which comes to light if its excessive use becomes internet addiction, or internet infatuation. We reached this hypothesis through everyday contact with students in class as well as our colleagues teachers. In order to determine if and to what extent internet addiction among students exists, we applied a generic method, that is, we used survey as one of techniques of research. The survey was conducted in October of academic year 2017/2018. Sample of 79 students was selectedfrom first and fourth grades in Secondary school “Muhsin Rizvić” in Kakanj.

Insight Into

The incentive for launching an entrepreneurial venture determines also the entrepreneur’s striving towards the growth of the venture, development of innovation or business internationalization. Assessment and understanding of outcomes of the launched entrepreneurial venture is possible if one have insight into both endeavor and motivation of an entrepreneur towards expressed entrepreneurial initiative. Entrepreneurs as holders of the entrepreneurial process based on recognition and profitable exploitation of identified opportunities, often find possibilities of venture growth outside the borders of their country. Internationalization of business is available to new established entrepreneurial ventures. Using available technologies, innovative products/services and available market, they find potential for entrepreneurial venture growth outside the framework of national economies. Therefore, the subject of this paper is analysis of the impact of the business internationalization on entrepreneurial venture, observing it towards maturity stage of entrepreneurial ventures. The aim of this paper is to determine relationship between business internationalization and maturity of entrepreneurial venture. For the purpose of analysis of interaction between the observed variables, database of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor has been used. For statistical analysis Spearman's correlation coefficient has been used. The results of statistical analysis confirmed a positive correlation between the level of business internationalization and maturity of the entrepreneurial venture. Also, a positive correlation has been confirmed between the level of education and business internationalization. Within this relationship, higher degree of entrepreneurial education simultaneously means a higher degree of business internationalization

The University

Interest in the role of business incubators in the development of high-technology start-up companies has increased dramatically in recent years. This interest has led to the creation of large numbers of ‘formal’ incubators, offering a wide range of business services to facilitate the development of the companies located within their walls. The authors argue that this may lead to a neglect of the role universities play in incubating high-technology start-up companies. In this paper the following question is considered: what kind of role can and should universities play in the process without being ‘formal’ incubators? In answering this question the role of the university in providing access to resources is examined. Based on a new survey and case material, the authors' contention is that universities are now performing many of the functions of an incubator. However, they differ from many ‘formal’ incubators in that they do not have clearly defined walls.

Extrinsic gettering of Cu on near-surface dislocations in Si has been the topic of recent investigation. It was shown that the Cu precipitated hetergeneously on dislocations as Cu silicide along with voids, and also with a secondary planar precipitate of unknown composition. Here we report the results of investigations of the sense of the strain fields about the large (~100 nm) silicide precipitates, and further analysis of the small (~10-20 nm) planar precipitates.Numerous dark field images were analyzed in accordance with Ashby and Brown's criteria for determining the sense of the strain fields about precipitates. While the situation is complicated by the presence of dislocations and secondary precipitates, micrographs like those shown in Fig. 1(a) and 1(b) tend to show anomalously wide strain fields with the dark side on the side of negative g, indicating the strain fields about the silicide precipitates are vacancy in nature. This is in conflict with information reported on the η'' phase (the Cu silicide phase presumed to precipitate within the bulk) whose interstitial strain field is considered responsible for the interstitial Si atoms which cause the bounding dislocation to expand during star colony growth.

Choice Method

The development of specialized analytical instruments such as the SIMS, XPS, ISS etc., all with truly incredible abilities in certain areas, has given rise to the notion that electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is an old fashioned and rather inadequate technique, and one that is of little or no use in such high technology fields as the semiconductor industry. Whilst it is true that the microprobe does not possess parts-per-billion sensitivity (ppb) or monolayer depth resolution it is also true that many times these extremes of performance are not essential and that a few tens of parts-per-million (ppm) and a few tens of nanometers depth resolution is all that is required. In fact, the microprobe may well be the second choice method for a wide range of analytical problems and even the method of choice for a few.The literature is replete with remarks that suggest the writer is confusing an SEM-EDXS combination with an instrument such as the Cameca SX-50. Even where this confusion does not exist, the literature discusses microprobe detection limits that are seldom stated to be as low as 100 ppm, whereas there are numerous element combinations for which 10-20 ppm is routinely attainable.
