In Romania, after the changes in 1989, most flats in existing buildings were sold to the occupants. This was a sort of getting back for those people who lost their private property, but another reason of this decision was the missing centralized management capacity of the administration. Looking back now and analyzing from the point of view of how property was redefined at that time, we can say with no doubts: it was made in a wrong way, and as time passes this will become a disaster. Tremendous progress was made in the last twenty years in any areas of life, but the existing stock of flat buildings still regresses from all points of view. The pushed administration model for new flat buildings also produces similar negative effects. The reason can be found on one hand in the way how private property division was done. On the other hand the so called owner administration model in most of the cases cannot work efficiently due to lack of knowledge, division, overemphasizing individual interest etc. This paper makes an up to date analysis of present Romanian situation and define new business opportunities, supplying business models for existing and new flat building administration. Applying a reconversion process, positive economical effects and improvement of the comfort and life quality of the owners of such kind of private properties could be achieved.

Since March 2020 the spread of the Corona virus has hit almost all parts of the world. The number of victims is increasing while a cure has not yet been found. The angry community then began to take the initiative to save themselves and their families by buying medical devices such as masks, handsanitizers to APD (Personal Protective Equipment) clothes or better known as Hazmat shirts. Unfortunately, the price of these three materials has increased many times over, naughty parties play by piling up goods and then throwing them into the market at an unreasonable price. Do not lose their mind, people rack their brains to take advantage of new business opportunities in the Covid-19 era, including making and mixing their own handsanitizers, sewing masks and of course hazmat suits. The scarcity of these items actually affects the performance of medical personnel. This dedication is made in order to help empower UMKM in Pekanbaru City to try to read the market and produce their hazmat suits themselves. As a result, with the intense competition and the lack of public interest in sewing Hazmat clothes, the service team managed to embrace UMKM that manage their own convection, even though they are on a small scale.

Biotechnology Sector

The agricultural biotechnology sector shares a common scientific foundation with the therapeutic biotechnology sector, including similar characteristics of a lengthy time to market for emerging products. But the challenges, goals, and opportunities for agricultural applications of biotechnology provide a very different context for innovation and entrepreneurs. Innovation means something novel, which can be a process or a way of doing something novel. Biotechnology entrepreneurship is summing all integrated activities that can create, develop, and finally, commercialize a biotechnology product. These sectors offer new business opportunities that, like agricultural biotechnology trait creation, enable entrepreneurs to think about creating disruptive businesses, not just disruptive technologies for today's business models. In this chapter, the authors conclude the unique aspects of entrepreneurship in the industry of biotechnology in contract with other industries and also discuss the importance of biotechnology entrepreneurs in agriculture.

Abstract Background It is essential that both sectors of health and tourism, share experiences and integrate each other's excellence maintaining focus on citizens wellbeing. The demographic evolution mandates the development of a common planning that takes into account the needs and characteristics of each sector. The health care system should no longer be regarded as a cost-generating sector, but rather as a driving force of the economy. Quality health benefits and services can attract citizens who are concerned about maintaining or improving health and well-being as well as patients in search of high-quality services, thus contributing to the development of the tourism market. We aim to discuss with participants active and healthy ageing (Silver Economy), share a workable definition of health tourism, map tourist flow at national and international level, outline trajectories with a specific focus on recommendations. Methods Document and stakeholder analysis will be used to define health services 'attractiveness'. Results Health tourism can be considered an opportunity for the Silver Economy. Actions are necessary to profile customers/clients, countries/regions to seek for scalable best practices. Creating age-friendly tourism contexts while enhancing culture and tourism to support active ageing policies can be used to focus/prioritize and strengthen digital solutions. Conclusions Further actions are essential from the systems point of view like administrative simplification, emphasis in a collaborative and non-competitive approach; The creation of new business models (access and reimbursement paths, investment mergers, reinvestment of avoided costs for effective health promotion / prevention interventions); Communication campaigns (e.g. on the health benefits of thermal waters, derogation for the protection of specific labels); New training and education curricula for administrative, tourism, health and socio-health personnel are a new focus to be procured

Virtual worlds enable new ways to create value. Recent examples from Second Life – a virtual world run by Linden Lab – have demonstrated how firms can use this technology to get in touch with customers and provide value to them. This chapter aims at giving an overview of upcoming business opportunities in social virtual worlds. For this purpose, the platform service offered by Linden Lab is analysed first. In the second step, the value creation potential is differentiated into four areas: 1. community-related business models which are comprised of the creation and maintenance of a social system with specific processes; 2. commerce business models which refer to initiation, negotiation and processing of transactions; 3. context business models which add value by supporting navigation and orientation; and finally, 4. content business models which refer to production and preparation of digital content such as avatars, virtual locations and artefacts. The business opportunities of each area are analysed with regard to case examples from Second Life. The chapter concludes with some business implications in order to help practitioners find their way into this new business medium.

Are the arts, so to speak, on the ‘muck heap’ of public spending? From the point of view of an arts activist, or any advocate of public spending on the arts, particularly in times of austerity, it can certainly appear that arts funding is lobbed out of the window at the first opportunity. At best, it appears that many in the arts sector are expected to feed off the scraps of funding from the residue of public spending. There is a certain ‘sink or swim’ attitude that prevails, where the environment of the liquid (or not so liquid) marketplace is deemed the ultimate arbiter of value. However, and despite the protestations of some who may espouse a more Darwinian economic model, making art (whatever the quality) and making money(or should that be making a profit?) are not always going to be in the same trajectory. Sure, at one extreme, some commercial contexts of the creative arts and entertainment industry make some people very rich (and can often employ very many people), but that does not mean that productions will turna profit or that companies will not goout of business, even if they make millionaires and stars out of individuals. The point being, a market-driven privatisation of individual talent, skills and product can have negative effects for the wider ecology of a company or sector. For the everyday arts company or practitioner, the economics is much smaller in scale than that of the celebrity industry; nevertheless, sustainability is as key a concern. Sustainability is the watchword, then, which is why systematic business models are keenly sought out within the sector (see www.missionmodelsmoney.org.uk). The point of this chapter, though, is not to provide such a model but to point out that such models are themselves subject to more systemic economic and political conditions, and crucially, social relations. Traditionally, public funds have been a key issue, not just in broadening the scope and range of access and participation (including the training of artists), but also of sector sustainability, under the broad rubric of public good. And therein lies the conundrum: what does‘public good’ actually come to mean?

Like other tourism subsectors, guided tours have been affected by the emergence of the sharing economy. Although this subsector of tourism is not as well known, it constitutes an interesting scenario for studying these new business models and it is also generating debate. This article analyses the uniqueness of the tourist guide services provided through online platforms under the name of free tours. The study includes a bibliographical revision and it is carried out from a qualitative methodology based on a survey conducted among tourist guide professionals and in-depth interviews. The study analyses the point of view of professionals in the guiding sector from 11 European cities subject to common regulations. It aims to determine how they are affected by the free tours as well as to assess their relationship with this new activity, a complex relationship with many controversial elements in terms of labour, tax and organisation. It will be shown that the free tours respond to the trends of contemporary society but are not an expression of the collaborative consumption among equals, but rather an effective marketing strategy.
