Abstract:
This is the first of two continuing education (CE) articles for occupational health nurses interested in starting their own business. Both articles build on the January 1997 focused issue with four CE articles dedicated to consulting in occupational health nursing practice. In this issue, Papp explores practical issues and poses questions beginning occupational health nurse consultants must confront prior to starting a business. Rainer's article, scheduled for the April 2000 issue of the AAOHN Journal, focuses on managing financial resources effectively to sustain a profitable business. Businesses are changing continually in response to a highly competitive marketplace. As a result, occupational health nurses continue to be challenged both clinically and managerially to demonstrate value whether they work within the organization or external to it. This two part series encourages occupational health nurses to examine options for adding value from an entrepreneurial perspective.

Abstract:
This study analyses the motivation of entrepreneurs for starting a business. More specifically, it aims to identify whether entrepreneurs have common motives for starting their own business, and whether men and women have different reasons for becoming entrepreneurs. A motivation scale and openended questions were used to measure motivation on a sample of more than 100 entrepreneurs. The results of a factor analysis indicate that entrepreneurs have various reasons for starting a business, and are primarily motivated by the needs for independence, material incentives and achievement.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this research is to describe the main reasons and difficulties for women to establish businesses and to identify possible differences between those that go into industry and those that establish commerce or service businesses. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The establishment of business is highly important for Entrepreneurship and its understanding is relevant to pinpoint the reasons and identify the difficulties that entrepreneurs have to establish their companies. Key methodological aspects: A quantitative study of 102 industry women entrepreneurs and 96 commerce/services entrepreneurs was carried out. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire and by two Likert scales, which measured reasons and difficulties in the establishment of companies. A cluster analysis was undertaken to identify possible groups of attributes related to reasons and difficulties in the establishment of enterprises to group variables. The Mann-Whitney test was employed to compare reasons and difficulties in the establishment of enterprises between the two groups (industry and commerce/service) to identify statistically significant differences. Summary of key results: Results by the Mann-Whitney test revealed that the two groups assigned the same level of importance to the reasons for business establishment: improvement difficulty in the previous job; desire to financially help offspring; re-entry into the labor market; earning lot of money. The same test showed no significant difference in importance level assigned to eight difficulties for the establishment of business: I did not believe in my own capacity; I had never had any link with other companies; I did not have any access to industry information; People did not believe in my potential; I was afraid to quit my job; I was never acquainted with a business plan; I had no money for advertising my business; I found it difficult to choose the location of the company. Key considerations/conclusions: Results show that women entrepreneurs are not a homogenous group and that there is a need for public policies that would minimize difficulties in the setting up of companies to increase women´s participation as entrepreneurs.

This study examines the impact of role model activities on potential entrepreneur's desire to own a business. A group of students, whose role model owned a business, were asked to rank the influence on career intentions of twenty specific activities in which role models and potential entrepreneurs might engage. The study looks at the relationship between these activities and the desire to own a business. Role model activities related to involving the respondent in professional activities, employment in the business, and discussions about the business were found to be significantly related with interest in starting a business.

Abstract:

This study finds that online businesses may benefit from non-monetary value generated when starting up by not incurring any revenue for a limited period of time. The conclusion is supported by a combined set of previous research and qualitative data from initiated sources, and demonstrated by Swedish online video-editing company JayCut. The investigated variables are categorized into Company, Product, and User. By using recent year’s vast technological advances regarding ”Processing, Bandwidth and Storage”, companies may copy and distribute their digital products and services online at virtually no marginal cost. By ”Being Free”, thereby not charging users any fees for these offerings and instead put focus on user experience, users may deliver other forms of value. The findings in this study indicate that more sustainable differentiation may be achieved through “Three Factors of Value Creation”, namely ”User Contribution”, ”Network Externalities”, and ”Strategic Partnerships”. As this is a qualitative research limited in scale and scope, to draw more general conclusions the area needs further quantitative research that may result in additional findings regarding the initial strategies of online startups.

Abstract:
A unique business opportunity has been presented to me. I have been invited to create a small business that would initially offer mechanical design services to two main customer segments: automotive and biomedical device companies. My main responsibility is to help frame the small business and act as an investor partner. I will act as a silent partner once the day to day operations begin. My main focus of this paper is to provide practical information to answer many specific questions about starting this small business. A Net Present Value (NPV) and Profitability Index (PI) analysis will help me determine whether the required initial investment capital will be a good investment for all the parties involved. The legal aspect of managing people in a small business with less than 15 employees will be also reviewed. The conclusions from the Human Capital Framework and the main components of a business plan will be used in the future development of an operating procedure. A business structure will be selected as part of this analysis. Finally, the business values and strategic goals that are most important to all participating parties will be mentioned.

“Staring an enterprise is like purchasing a house,” and the selection of store location is most important. The selection of store location determines the operating performance and has a significant effect on the long-term operation of retail enterprises. Many entrepreneurs suggest that the understanding of factors such as demographic characteristics (e.g. age, income, household size, demographic information, etc.), competitive markets, and traffic of business districts is sufficient for them to run an enterprise. However, these factors are simply some of the critical criteria, rather than all of them. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the weight relation between the criterion for selection of store location in a specific business district and other various criteria, in order to further apply the knowledge to the selection of store location of ice and fruit shops. According to the literature review of experts and scholars and the in-depth interviews of qualitative study, this study summarized the criteria for selection of store location. This study selected the fruit shops at Shih Chien University Business District in Dazhi Village as the subjects and used AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method to assess the weight relation among various criteria to establish the criteria for selection of store location and the weight relation among evaluation indicators for selection of store location. This study established six major aspects, including market factor, traffic factor, business district factor, environmental factor, internal factor of store location, and financial factor. These six major aspects included a total of 24 evaluation indicators. Besides, weight values represented relative level of importance of each evaluation indicator. Among the six major assessment aspects for the selection of store location, the weight value of “financial factor” was the largest, followed by business district factor, internal factor of store location, traffic factor, market factor, and environmental factor. Finally, the store location was been evaluated and the evaluation model established in this study could be provide as important reference for the future decision-making over selection of store location by relevant store owners.

Ghela, Deepesh Navnitlal. "The purchasing behaviour in the detergent industry : a PMB case study on the feasibility of starting a new detergent business venture." Thesis, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10413/1428.

Full text
Abstract:
This study analyses the purchasing behaviour of households and briefly on industrial consumers with regard to their detergent purchases. Following from this analysis, the scope for a new detergent business venture will be investigated. The local industry has a plethora of detergent manufacturing companies supplying the retail and industrial markets, thus an appropriate analysis and strategy developed from this study will enable a new detergent business venture to have an improved understanding of the detergent industry in Pietermaritzburg leading to some minimisation of the risks for potential detergent entrepreneurs. The objectives for the study is detailed below. Primary Research Objectives : 1. To examine whether mcome accounts for household purchasing preferences between branded and non-branded detergents. 2. To determine whether location is a factor that must be considered m the marketing of detergents. 3. To examine whether there are gender differences in the purchasing behaviour of detergents among households. 4. To determine which are the major factors that influence detergent buying behaviour among industries. Secondary Research Objective: To determine whether there is scope for the introduction of a new detergent venture among households in Pietermaritzburg. This study found that income accounts for differences in purchasing of detergents. The manufacturer of detergents needs to be aware that location is a factor that must be considered in the marketing of detergents. Branded detergents carry a premium price whereas non-branded detergents are cheaper. Correspondingly, the marketer must match the type of detergent product to the consumer profile of the location in which the business is operating. It was found that gender does not account for differences in monthly expenditure on detergents. Price and quality of detergents were found to be important characteristics for both the household and business user. In addition, it was found that consumers were willing to support a new detergent business venture in Pietermaritzburg. The major variables influencing detergent brand choice in the Pietermaritzburg market seem to be attitudinal variables such as perception regarding the efficacy (QUALITY) of the brand, closely followed by the perception on the valuefor- money (PRICE). Field level promotional activities such as price-offs, freebies associated with different pack sizes of the same brand also seem to impact the choice of the brand, although the impact was low. Base price reduction is generally resorted to quite infrequently and hence a price elasticity measure may be found to be statistically insignificant. A critical result drawn from this study is the importance of attitudes in affecting behavior in the purchase of detergents. In the South African market, it is generally believed that brand attitudes are primarily influenced by advertising. If this assertion is assumed to be true, this research makes a case for better management of consumer attitudes through the deployment of appropriate advertisements using the correct media (Banerjee, 2004: 3). The major recommendations from this study found that manufacturers of household detergents need to dedicate resources to print media when advertising their products. Targeting the most appropriate consumer and capturing potential consumers by television should be looked at by marketers (Dutta-Bergman, 2006: 103). Liquid detergent manufacturers need to major more on the price of the product and the quality. These two factors are critical in ensuring a new detergent business venture is successful and sustainable . Davis (1993: 19) punts 'green marketing' as one of the strategies that may shift consumers to purchase products. Accordingly, companies that can market a 'green' detergent product would have a greater chance of penetrating the market, and gaining market share from the dominant and larger multi-national detergent companies.

This thesis aims to develop a business plan on starting a mini-brewery. It is divided into three main parts. Basic terminology regarding the discussed issue is described in the theoretical part, particularly explaining certain concepts from the business sphere as well as concepts related to both beer and the mini-brewery. The next part contains a particular procedure. I intend to deal with more in the practical part. The practical part then specifically refers to the market situation detected through several analyses, such as STEP analysis, SWOT analysis and competitor analysis, and also includes the considered company´s marketing plan. An integral part of the thesis is a simplified financial analysis, which allows to determine whether this type of business is actually feasible.

AbstractThe lean startup framework is one of the most popular contributions in the practitioner-oriented entrepreneurship literature. This chapter builds on a recent paper (Shepherd & Gruber in Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice. 10.1177/1042258719899415, 2020) to highlight new insights into how new ventures are started based on the lean startup framework. Specifically, we describe the origin of the lean startup framework and its five main building blocks—(1) identifying and evaluating market opportunities in startups, (2) designing business models, (3) engaging in validated learning (including customer development), (4) building minimum viable products, and (5) learning whether to persevere with or pivot from the current course of action. We organize these building blocks into a framework suggesting how considering the contextual characteristics of and the interdependencies between the building blocks can enrich our understanding of using the lean startup framework to start a new venture.

Abstract:
Japanese organizations typically remain not just male-dominated but also organized in male ways. An attractive alternative for women is therefore to start up their own organizations, whether for-profit or non-profit. The Japan Women’s Leadership Initiative takes a group of wannabe social entrepreneurs to Boston, Massachusetts every year to give training and mentorship in how to start and grow a social enterprise. Hayashi Chiaki took her career through marketing and journalism before co-founding her own digital design business, Loftwork, with its affiliate Fabcafes. Mitarai Tamako worked for McKinsey and then the government of Bhutan before moving to the disaster-struck region of Tohoku in 2011 to start up a business with local women making very high-priced and high quality sweaters, with a model reminiscent of the Italian fashion firm Brunello Cuccinelli. Nakamura Noriko, a former TV journalist, set up a babysitting and nanny agency, Poppins, for which one of the fastest growing business lines is providing short-notice childcare for companies and government agencies.

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship education is believed to provide students with understanding of concepts of entrepreneurship, train and motivate them to indulge into entrepreneurial activities in future. This is an empirical study to explore the entrepreneurship education in engineering discipline from the perspective of students. The study also attempts to unearth the factors that motivate them to take entrepreneurial activities and their perceived hurdles. Data about the opinion of students regarding entrepreneurship education has been collected from 168 students. The data has been analyzed using various statistical tools. It is found that the students are highly interested in starting their own business. They consider that decision making skills, risk taking capacity, creativity, communication skills and ability to prepare business plan are the most important skills for a successful entrepreneur. They feel motivated to start their own business because of intrinsic factors like being their own boss, chasing their dreams. Lack of experience and lack of funds are the most deterring factors.

This chapter takes novices through the process of envisioning their practice, beginning with why they are starting a business, then establishing clearly defined values that guide the development of their unique business culture. The chapter addresses issues related to financial and emotional risk taking and the importance of taking “good risks” to establish a successful business, attract and retain clients, and provide excellent customer service. The chapter also addresses how to create a strong strategic plan to help the business flourish and find its niche in the community.

Abstract:
This article pays more attention to the analysis of the direct relationship between staff motivation and applied leadership, with the final result - the sustainability of the organization's activity. Organizational culture and the environment are characterized by mutual adaptation, by the way in which human practices and organizations are led to a cohabiting relationship. Their adaptation is defined as a learning process, rather than an activity in itself, guided by material forces. Through this article we aim to highlight the importance of the interdependent relationship between staff motivation, leadership and sustainability. A big obstacle is the lack of awareness of this triangular relationship, at the level of the organization's management. Starting from the theory of self-motivation and from the research of psychologists Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, we deduce that each individual has three basic psychological needs: the need for connection, the need for competence and the need for control, which must be met. If, at the level of the organization's management, there is a real concern about these needs, employees will feel motivated to maximize their involvement in achieving proposed objectives. The need to connect refers to the desire to be visible, valued, respected, unique, self-confident, connected, belonging to a group. The need for competence implies the need to be able, to succeed. The need for control is the power to make decisions, to make choices, to be the source of your own behaviors. Satisfying these needs of the team members must be a real concern of the leader, if the sustainability of the organization's activity is desired.

Abstract:
[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology] Aim/Purpose : To understand the change of entrepreneurial initiatives by analysing some new initiatives that came up the last years based on IT enabled business models Background: The theme is described from an educational perspective by offering examples of successful entrepreneurship initiatives Methodology: Description of some cases: Waynabox, Lock up, Uber, Pinterest Contribution: This project tries to become a guide for youth in order to understand various aspects: first, the entrepreneurial aspects that have to be considered before starting a business; secondly, the characteristics that successful businesses have in common; and finally how an entrepreneur can be innovative and how they can achieve the success Findings: Only the 10% of the start-ups exist more than three years. Among the causes of failure are the high saturation of the market and the market competition, which are connected to the ignorance of the real necessity of customers. The company has to identify the needs of customers. They have to define and target their customers by observing and analyzing the market and, above all, getting in touch with the customers. The business plan is something that has to be carried out before the beginning of the project, and has to exist on paper. Everything has to be planned and organised, and the objectives have to be clearly stated in order to stay focused Recommendations for Practitioners: To use existent business models as an inspiration for the creation of a new business model. It is really important to avoid copying the business model itself. One thing that a company needs to do is to make the difference offering new characteristics adapted to the current customer’s experiences Recommendation for Researchers: It is really important to have a good relation with the customer, to attend their needs and to help them with all the doubts that they can have about the company. An entrepreneur cannot be guided by his own interests. He has to invest in order to know the needs of the potential customers Impact on Society: Customer experience is key to have success in new business models

Abstract:
The situation we are experiencing on a global level and in the domestic environment confirms long-standing warnings that human and planetary survival requires radical changes in the way we think and respond to the demanding problems and challenges of today's society. The COVID19 epidemic has further exacerbated the deterioration. There is too much intolerance, even towards those who, in their moral and professional obligation to humanity and the medical profession, risk their own lives to save the lives and health of others. As social and personal hardships intensify, the dark forces of human character accumulate and destroy interpersonal and social relationships. Due to the increasingly serious consequences, such as psychological and physical violence, discrimination and exclusion in the workplace, a comprehensive and inclusive (integrated, integrative) model of an inclusive and safe work environment is being established worldwide. Inclusive practices have a positive effect on productivity by improving organizational climate and employee motivation, commitment and adherence to business ethics and values of the organization, while reducing turnover and risk of deviance. Therefore, they are often mentioned as the starting point for integrated and connected, integrated business, applicable business ethics and integrity, sustainable social responsibility, and achieving sustainable development goals in the era of new technologies and Industry 4.0. Thus, as part of a tertiary research project, in January 2020 we organised a seminar with a workshop for UKCL employees on a friendly, inclusive and safe working environment. The findings and conclusions are presented in this paper.

Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool in the value creation function. Contemporary trends indicate that entrepreneurship is not so much a matter of choice but it is increasingly an issue of survival. In the age of knowledge, intellectual potential becomes a key segment of successful entrepreneurship. The discovery, development and management of intellectual potential gives entrepreneurs, in addition to a competitive edge in the modern market, a greater chance of success in developing an entrepreneurial idea. According to research, in the first three years of business, about 90% of start-ups fail. One possible reason is the mismatch of the business strategy, the business idea, with the personal preferences of the entrepreneurs. The theme of the paper is: how to detect an entrepreneur's individual hidden potential (intellectual DNA) ie his natural dominant traits. By "Intellectual DNA" we mean mental, emotional, character, educational, and other conscious and subconscious individual specificities of an individual. Considering that natural personality traits mean interconnected circuits of cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning, by the term intellectual DNA, we encompass all these characteristics together. Detecting a unique Intellectual DNA gives us a thorough insight into the natural inclinations of a potential entrepreneur. The concept of understanding the unique intellectual DNA of a potential entrepreneur can be very helpful in developing a strategy to materialize a business idea through starting your own business in many ways. First, knowing the entrepreneur's natural preferences, the business strategy can be adapted in an acceptable, natural way. Second, business processes, procedures can be created, modified, aligned to the individual natural preferences of the entrepreneur and thus reduce the risk of potential failure. Third, associates can be selected and placed in the right places according to their personal preferences. In this way, adequate people would perform certain tasks in accordance with their intellectual DNA, in a natural way, which would result in a greater degree of innovation, creativity, productivity, while reducing the degree of risk. We tested this innovative approach on the participants of the training program "What Makes An Adventure Called Entrepreneurship" within the project "Innovation at Work", which was supported by the Cabinet of the Minister for Innovation and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, held from 13.11.2019 to 16.12.2019. The results will be presented in the paper.

Abstract:
In Kyrgyzstan, are 10 399 small businesses and 710 medium-sized enterprises. Most of them are headed by entrepreneurs who, starting from scratch, overcome countless obstacles, as many entrepreneurs do not have the notion and skills in doing business. But, nevertheless, there is a positive tendency in entrepreneurs to get knowledge on the legal conditions of the enterprise, taxation, accounting, analysis of their financial condition, and business planning. All this knowledge is necessary, but they cover the microlevel, while for an adequate, sustainable and profitable development there is an objective need for analyzing the macro environment of the business. In this report, we will consider the relevance of the use of certain marketing tools with which you can identify the threats and opportunities facing domestic business, as well as assess the impact of global factors that predetermine the future development of the business environment. Research in this area is currently being carried out by the Institute of Economics of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic within the framework of the Government Development Program "Jany Doordo - kyrk kadam (2018-2023) Kadam 8" Support for Small and Medium Enterprises.

Abstract:
Local Area Networks (LANs) provide necessary infrastructure and services required for organizations to conduct their businesses efficiently and securely. While a small LAN could be designed and deployed in ad-hoc fashion, an enterprise LAN should be designed systematically starting from analyzing the business and technical requirements and constraints. The Top-down network design methodology has been an excellent way to design a new network, however it has disadvantages considering its time-consuming process of designing networks. The organizational structures change in a fast pace in these days. These changes require their networks also to be realigned at the same pace. In this climate, a time-consuming design approach such as the Top-down design approach may not be the best option. In this paper, we propose a framework of a network design methodology that could be used for quickly designing a LAN for an organization in this landscape while satisfying their business and technical requirements.
