В статье рассматриваются проблемы развития университетской науки в Японии, освещается роль университетских стартапов и венчуров в инновационном развитии Японии и повышении национальной конкурентоспособности. В условиях четвёртой промышленной революции, транснационализации бизнеса, перемещения фокуса конкурентной борьбы в инновационную сферу научно-техническая стратегия Японии претерпевает существенные изменения.

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. …

The present study highlights the importance of alignment between a business model (BM) and business processes. The authors employ a case study method and analyze a young company focused on R&D in high technology. In order to explicate the observations, the researchers invoke the newly developed ‘VIP framework’ (Solaimani and Bouwman, 2012). The research reveals that the business processes (BP) carried out in the company must fit the stated business model. The case study demonstrates how some of the processes are not optimal and efficient, and that the two main requirements for achieving a higher level coherence and consistency between …

Open innovation has become a key strategic element to increase the generation and commercialization of innovations among big companies. Small and medium-sized firms (SMEs), that exhibit particular characteristics regarding organization, culture and strategy, have been more reluctant to adopt this approach. Thus little research exists on the adoption of open innovation among SMEs, and small and micro companies in particular. The paper presents the results of an explorative research design based upon semi-structured and narrative interviews that investigates particularities of small and micro firms regarding the sources of innovation, the strengths and weaknesses of their innovation process, and the potential …

The South African government recognizes the importance of entrepreneurial activity as a means of energizing the country’s economy and encouraging growth and development. The rapid growth in family businesses in South Africa can be attributed to the rationalization process taking place in many large organizations, as well as to the growing inability of the informal sector to create new jobs. However, the contribution of family businesses to socio-economic growth has never really received sufficient attention. This article expands on the work of previous family-business literature in South Africa. From the literature, there is evidence of family-business failure which is due …

Показано, что для успешной реализации целей социально-экономического развития методология форсайта должна сочетаться с методологией экономической политики. В России между ними нет заметной связи. В мировой экономике сформировалось ядро нового технологического уклада, технологическая революция обеспечивает скачок в экономическом развитии. Для внедрения технологических достижений необходимо полномасштабное финансирование производств нового ТУ. Во всех развитых странах в этом плане важную роль играют инструменты денежно-кредитной политики. А в России ЦБ вместо целевого кредитования экономического роста тормозят экономическое развитие; бюджетные деньги по-прежнему выводятся через стабфонды: большая часть денег за экспорт энергоносителей ушла в офшоры. Для рывка необходима смешанная стратегия опережающего развития. Для развития новых технологий нужна …
