The article is devoted to the analysis of the practical aspect of professional mobility readiness of future engineers-teachers in the area of computer technology. It has been found out that organization of practical training (industrial practice) of engineers-teachers is focused on modern profession requirements. It contributes to the formation of necessary professional skills and testing the abilities and capabilities of future specialists’ professional activities needed to develop readiness for professional mobility. Emphasis has been placed on the advantages of project technology in the practical training of higher education applicants. It involves the development of creative potential, innovative thinking, high creativity, the ability to comprehensively combine research, design, entrepreneurship and evaluate the decisions consequences. At the same time, the practice provides mastery of the methodology and means of automated collective complex systems design at all life cycle stages and the formation of information and communication skills of the future engineers-teachers in the area of computer technology. It has been proved that the project technology introduction contributes to the pedagogical tasks implementation: intensification, improving the efficiency and quality of the educational process; training differentiation. It provides the future specialist with his own trajectory of self-education; system integration of subject tasks. The practical aspect of the formation of professional mobility readiness in the context of design technology, involves identifying personal prospects for professional development, self-improvement of the ideal model of professionally mobile personality. It promotes the ability formation of individual professional style of activity, creativity, self-development, and self-organization. At the same time, project technology provides readiness formation to create innovations and implement them, take into account all possible scenarios, be able to take risks, work in a team and interact in a highly competitive environment. That is, it creates all the conditions for the formation of professional mobility readiness of future engineersteachers in the area of computer technology.

Full textAbstract:
The Case Study section of the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation serves two purposes. First, the case studies presented are concerned with problematical issues that are pertinent to students of entrepreneurship. Thus they constitute appropriate teaching and learning vehicles on a variety of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. Each case study is accompanied by a set of guidelines for the use of tutors. Second, it is envisaged that those engaged in entrepreneurial activities will find the cases both interesting and useful. Since the 1990s, public policy makers and private investors have been creating bio-incubators with the aim of obtaining a foothold in what many presume is one of the hottest future industries. This case study provides an in-depth picture of the biggest UK-based bio-incubator – BioCity Nottingham. The study outlines the history and regional context of the incubator as well as its service portfolio and a profile of its supported firms. The study provides insights into the formation of biotechnology companies, the role of the regional context in shaping business models and the emergence of a science-based business network. As a major implication, Nottingham's location, remote from the epicentre of both science and venture capital in the UK, favours service-based business models. BioCity provides a fascinating opportunity to become acquainted with local conditions of business incubation.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to describe the process of designing expert system applications in career development using entrepreneurship personality inventory. The reason for conducting this research is a) the limited number of instruments that are able to measure the entrepreneurship personality of vocational students, b) the high costs incurred in conducting personality tests in career development of vocational students, c) The need for an application that is able to speed up the process of identifying personality and provide recommendations careers for vocational students. The research methodology used is Research and Development. There are four stages that must be carried out: Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate. The instrument used to measure entrepreneurial personality is inventory (non-test) with four indicators of entrepreneurship personality, namely Extroverted, Leader, Moderate Risk Taker, Ambisious, and tested fit using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The research sample was 30 vocational high school students in the field of Information Technology and Computers. Bayes Method is used for the process of transferring knowledge from experts to the system and decision making, after Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that a) Career development applications based on Entrepreneurship Personality are valid with a percentage (0.887) and very practical (91.11), the results of product effectiveness are 82.47 (effective). Therefore this application is declared valid, practical and effective in measuring the personality of vocational student entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
High-expectation start-ups are firms launched by entrepreneurs with high ambitions for growth. The encounter between new technology and entrepreneurship that characterizes such new ventures has a significant impact on the nature and speed of economic development, driving the growth of high-technology industries and helping to make the economic system open, complex and adaptive. Thus high-expectation entrepreneurship deserves special attention in entrepreneurship education. This paper introduces and explains the importance of high-expectation entrepreneurship. Then, using an approach borrowed from both experimental scientific research and the practice of medicine, the authors propose a form of business idea testing and entrepreneur training in a laboratory environment. The ability to transpose, test and iterate new ideas and models in a business laboratory has significant potential in terms of promoting rapid learning and the preliminary validation of a new business idea – thus cutting risk, reducing cost and maximizing revenue potential. The authors argue that this approach is far more appropriate for entrepreneurship development in the new economic environment than traditional business education models.

Digital disruption leads to high-level risk in innovation management that will impact established firms in disrupted industries. This study investigates the key variables to enhance innovation performance (IP) in a disruptive environment by applying strategic entrepreneurship framework from [Hitt, MA, DG Sirmon, RD Ireland and CA Trahms (2011). Strategic entrepreneurship: Creating value for individuals, organizations, and society. Academic of Management Executive, 25(5), 57–75]. This study sampled the managers of two largest established firms in telecommunication and banking industries in Indonesia. Both industries are in top five of the most disrupted industries. Entrepreneurial leadership (EL) is essential in formulating innovation strategy. This leadership variable has multicollinearity with that of entrepreneurial culture (EC). It indicates that both variables are symbiotic. While in implementing innovation strategy, the configuring core innovation capabilities that combine exploring the opportunity and exploiting the firm’s advantage enhance the IP. Due to core rigidities, this configuring core innovation capabilities should not be orchestrated with collaborative innovation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses an emerging heterodoxy in the academic literature on entre- preneurial technology finance that is based on the idea of "bootstrapping." Bootstrap finance is a third approach (emphasizing funding technology ventures through revenue and other non-traditional sources), alongside the orthodoxies of traditional business finance (emphasizing debt) and contemporary venture finance (emphasizing venture capital and public equity). The paper also reports the results of an original empirical study of entrepreneurial technology firms in the bioscience-related industries in the United States. The data from the study show that "unorthodox" bootstrap financing is actually the dominant kind of financing in those high technology industries. The data are analyzed to explore industry effects, regional milieux effects, and entrepreneurial-status effects on the relative mix of bootstrap finance and the three traditional sources of finance: venture capital, public equity and debt finance. The effects on firm behavior and performance of variations in financing strategy are explored, with implications for managers of entrepreneurial technology ventures and educators concerned with technology entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
The initial thesis in the present work is that the solution of the problem of improving the competiveness of the economy of Vojvodina indispensably should open the room for the development of high-tech industries, in the first line on the basis of dynamic entrepreneurship and development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Emphasis in the research is on the analysis of the problem of inappropriate institutional order as a factor blocking innovative entrepreneurial conduct, technological development and economic valorization of high technologies, efficient socio-economic coordination of individual development initiatives and larger orientation of financial capital to risky investments in new industries. In this context, the most important limiting factors of development and economic valorization of high technologies in Vojvodina are defined as: (1) absence of socio-economic motivation for innovative behavior and manufacturing entrepreneurship, (2) low availability of skilled and internationally competent labour, (3) poor quality of regional, subregional and local STIEOT infrastructure, (4) orientation of regional financial infrastructure to credit imports and population and (5) low efficiency of regional, sub regional and local administrative and public services in eliminating above problems. In the light of those observations the operationalization of the concrete contents of development strategy for high-tech industries in Vojvodina is defined as a measure of ability to include regional, subregional and local institutions and public services to find how to solve the following problems: 1. providing conditions for internationally competent training of entrepreneurs, managers and expert teams in the function of acquiring necessary knowledge for the implementation of modern technological, managerial and organizational solutions needed for the foundation and dynamic development of high-tech enterprises, 2. provision of technical and economic support to entrepreneurs, managers and expert teams in their concrete activities in the generation and economic valuation of new knowledge and 3. provision of technical and economic help for the implementation of contemporary solutions relating to standardization metrology, specification of quality and sustainable development in the function of providing microeconomic (global) competitiveness. The basis for functioning of the concept of development strategy for high-tech industries in Vojvodina defined that way is the activity of the public factor to advance the system of education and to develop relevant scientific-technological infrastructure. In this context, the University of Novi Sad as well as private faculties in Vojvodina, their respective specialized and multidisciplinary scientific-research institutes, innovation centers technology parks and the like (necessary to be developed and advanced as soon as possible!) should become basic factors for eliminating the consequences of actual institutional disorder and create entreprenurship oriented socio-economic environment as a basic framework for the development of the high-tech SMEs.

Purpose – First, using the task-relationship dichotomy as a framework, the purpose of this paper is to examine the direct effects of team personality level and team personality diversity on new venture growth. Second, the study examines the interaction effects of team personality level and diversity on venture growth. Design/methodology/approach – The sample consisted of 154 teams in a technology incubator in China. Data were collected through an online survey. Findings – Results indicate that high level but low diversity of team task-oriented personality was beneficial for new venture founding teams. Diversity of team task-oriented personality would hurt the new venture growth more when the level of task-oriented personality was low. Relationship-oriented personality diversity, but not the level of relationship-oriented personality, influenced new venture growth. Research limitations/implications – These findings advance research in entrepreneurship, groups, and teams, and provide practical policy implications as well. Practical implications – This study provides practical implications for policy makers regarding what supports should be provided in incubators and for entrepreneurs regarding team member selection. Originality/value – This is one of the first papers to study the personality composition of new venture founding teams.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the impacts of regional characteristics on the early-stage performance of New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) in catch-up regions where a mature industrial cluster has yet to be formed. It hypothesized that the average NTBF performance in a region is a function of its scientist job market conditions, cultural diversity, venture capital, academic research, industrial structure, and local entrepreneurial climate. Using the events of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) and Merger & Acquisitions (M&A) as an indicator of early-stage success of NTBFs, this study constructs a set of Zero-Inflated-Negative-Binomial (ZINB) models to predict the spatial distribution of such events in the U.S. biopharmaceutical and Information Technology (IT) service industries during the period from 1996 to 2005. Several empirical findings emerge from this study. First, the local entrepreneurial climate plays a significant and positive role on NTBF performance in both industries. Second, the positive impact of cultural diversity is more significant in the IT service industry than in the biopharmaceutical industry. Third, the scientist job market size and absolute salary level have positive impacts on NTBF performance, but the effect of relative salary level is negative. Fourth, proximity to venture capital firms has positive but non-linear effects, but the adverse effect of excess venture capital is stronger in the IT service industry. Fifth, there is little evidence of the direct effects of academic research in determining the NTBF performance in both industries. Finally, industrial specialization is significant and positive only in the IT service industry. The results suggest that promoting local entrepreneurial climate and cultural diversity are two effective policy instruments for catch-up regions to foster their NTBF growth.

Full textAbstract:
The paradigms that examine and describe the nature of the entrepreneurship process
have generally been linear, following the lead of the more mature management and
physical sciences. This emulation of linear methodologies has occurred despite
indications from authors such as Bygrave, Shaver and Mitton of their being less
appropriate at this relatively early stage of the social science of entrepreneurship. When
examining the nature of a phenomenon such as entrepreneurship, statistical correlations
and linear descriptions are limited to confirmation of existing hypotheses. The
underlying assumption is that the correct questions are known. However this
assumption becomes moot when seeking to include the many unpredictable, non-linear
aspects that add the key human vitality of entrepreneurship. This research seeks to move
toward a more complete description than linearity alone is able to capture.
The research presents a non-linear paradigm, being a holistic combination of the
rational evidence of entrepreneurship and what might be termed the spiritual or
intangible aspects that together constitute the observed craft of entrepreneurship. The
research highlights the dynamic skill-set used by entrepreneurs to balance key elements
in the entrepreneurial process, in a way that achieves a relational coherence. The focus
is on the high-tech industry which is especially prone to the use of linear descriptions of
the entrepreneurship process which takes a new idea and leads it to become a successful
product.
Interviews with entrepreneurship practitioners involved in the creation of new ventures
in the high-tech industry form the database against which this non-linear paradigm is
investigated. The results confirm that the success of the entrepreneurial process depends
on far more than the linear descriptions that are commonly used to describe the process.
Once the basics are in place, entrepreneurs appear to shift their focus to achieving a
multi-dimensional integration among what they identify as the key elements in the
entrepreneurial process. This is achieved despite apparent disorder and chaos being
evident in the process of new venture creation.
Entrepreneurs appear to make sense of the confusing non-linearity by focussing on the
relational attributes among elements in the new venture. The use of the non-linear
relational paradigm (NLRP) developed from the results of this research, enables a more
holistic understanding of the empirically observed process of entrepreneurship. This has
some significant implications for the management and evaluation of nascent technology
enterprises.
The NLRP's additional fix on the entrepreneurship process, can be used to inform the
venture capital industry when trying to predict the likelihood of success of prospective
ventures vying for funds. The NLRP's alternative view could also translate into more
appropriate new venture management once funded, and thus better success rates for
nascent ventures. The NLRP's insights on the way in which entrepreneurs create and
grow new ventures, can improve best-practice techniques for entrepreneurs and
influence the way in which entrepreneurship education is approached. Describing
innovation and entrepreneurship more holistically also has important implications for all
facets of industry that include a process of design, or seek to create wealth.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management specialising in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation
Johannesburg, 2017Globally, information communication technologies (ICT) have experienced rapid growth since the 1990’s. In South Africa, information communication technology now accounts for a larger percentage of the Gross Domestic Product than other sectors. Thus, ICT is an important driver of entrepreneurship, employment creation and economic development in SA. As such, one of the critical questions is how to ensure the competitiveness and performance of ICT firms. Entrepreneurship studies argue that the performance of entrepreneurial firms is affected by, amongst other things, the firms’ social capital such as formal networks. This study, therefore, examined the impact of formal networks on firm entrepreneurial performance of ICT firms in SA, paying specific attention to weak ties as well as the moderating role of the environment. The study adopted a positivist paradigm which relied on quantitative data, using a descriptive survey method. Applying probability sampling, a sample of 120 firms were surveyed from an industry database, achieving a 14% response rate. This response rate is adequate for the generalisation of the results (Urban & Sefalafala, 2015). In analysing the data, factor analysis to reduce several variables into latent factors was performed. Thereafter, statistical linear regression modelling was performed using the continuous dependent variable – Firm Entrepreneurial Performance indicated by: Growth in Sales and Market Share, and Profitability; and the continuous independent variable of Formal Networking indicated by: Network Tie Strength and Relationship Quality and Nature sub-constructs. The results demonstrate significant correlation between formal networking and firm entrepreneurial performance as well as weak ties. However, the results indicate no evidence for the moderating role of the environment. At a theoretical level, this shows that formal networking and weak ties are beneficial to ICT firms but the environment is a contingent factor. At a practical level, managers and firm owners should consider joining formal networks that promote weak tie relationships in order to access complementary assets and valuable information. Policy makers and other stakeholders should devise policies and programmes that support entrepreneurial ICT firms to engage in formal networking. The limitations of the study include the following: first, the study was cross sectional and limited to ICT firms on an industry database; second, the control variables did not include firm size. Future research should consider a longitudinal study to test the long-term impact of firm entrepreneurial behaviour as well as firm size to inform firm specific research. More studies should test the moderating role of environment.

This chapter is concerned with the study of success factors in small software firms. The decision to focus specifically on the software sector, as opposed to high technology firms or the generic small firm, is because the authors believe that there are elements in the operation of a software business that are unique to that domain and do not have equivalents in other industries. Interviews were carried out with six owner/managers of small to medium software firms. The interview data was interpreted using a qualitative analysis approach based on the principles of grounded theory. A number of factors emerged from this analysis, a few of which have parallels in the generic small firm literature (e.g. market positioning, export orientation, distribution channel), as well as a few others which appear to be specific to the software industry (e.g. remote accessibility, ability to demonstrate/trial at global reach with minimal expense, software reuse, etc.).

In the nearest future, most industries, including hospitality, will be characterized by significant changes linked to the change of business models, leaders break through innovations due to the new global epidemiological situation. Considering the new digitization trends in the hospitality industry, only companies with employees with high-level digital competence will be able to survive, adapt and develop. The dual study environment of a higher education institution ‒ the study environment of a higher education institution and the environment of professional activities plays a major role in the development of digital competence. On the basis of the ecological approach, there has been the context of information and communication technology environment viewed in the article within the substantiation of digital competence. The aim of the study was: during the pedagogical experiment to approbate the developed “Model of the dual study environment of a higher education institution” and to evaluate university hospitality students’ competitiveness including digital competence as competitiveness integral part. To find out how significantly has changed the self-evaluation of students’ digital competence after the prospective hospitality business managers’ competitiveness facilitation in the framework of the developed dual study environmental model. Both before and after the pedagogical experiment the students performed the self-evaluation of digital competence by using the authors’ developed and examined competitiveness evaluation methodology. The obtained results testify that the developed and approbated model for promotion of competitiveness development in general impacted self-assessments of the students' digital competence during the pedagogical experiment.
