In an entrepreneurial ecosystem, the failure rate of startups is extremely high at 90%, and every startup that fails becomes an orphan. This phenomenon leads to higher costs of failure for the entrepreneurs in the ecosystem. Failed startups have many lessons to offer to the ecosystem and offer guidance to the potential entrepreneur, and this area is not fully explored compared to the literature on successful startups. We use a case based method distinguishing a failed startup and a successful startup, studying the entrepreneurial characteristics and firm level factors which cause the failures, in the technology startup ecosystem of Bangalore. …

Тем не менее, в социоэкономических науках дефиницию счастья часто используют в качестве аналога или синонима понятий «благо», «благополучие», «субъективное благополучие», «психологическое благополучие», «процветание», «удовлетворенность жизнью». Государственные и международные организации разрабатывают различные параметры для измерения счастья населения, например: международный индекс счастья (Happy planet index), валовое национальное счастье (Gross-national happiness) и другие. В научном мире интерес к счастью за последние пятьдесят лет только усилился. Возникли понятия «всеобщего счастья» (overall happiness), «процветания» …
