Texte intégralRésumé :
Con il d.l. 31 maggio 2014, n. 83 convertito successivamente in l. 29 luglio 2014, n. 106, viene introdotta all’interno del panorama italiano la figura della start-up turismo, una realtà innovativa che sta acquisendo sempre maggiore rilevanza nel nostro paese. Prendendo in considerazione l’importanza che il settore turistico svolge nello scenario economico italiano, il legislatore ha voluto inserire tale fattispecie all’interno del nostro ordinamento, dotandola di numerose agevolazioni e benefici sulla base della sua natura innovativa.
L’obiettivo che si pone questa tesi sarà dunque l’analisi del contesto normativo della start-up turismo, ponendo particolare attenzione ai requisiti che le società devono dimostrare di avere per ottenere tale qualifica, e al concetto di innovazione a cui queste devono costantemente ispirarsi.
Le numerose deroghe e privilegi presenti all’interno della disciplina più generale della start-up innovativa, hanno sicuramente fatto avvicinare molti imprenditori appartenenti al settore turistico a questa nuova figura: tali imprese non sono solo infatti destinatarie di molteplici agevolazioni come il riconoscimento di un credito d’imposta per le spese nell’ambito di ricerca e sviluppo e di una particolare disciplina del lavoro flessibile, ma anche di una serie di bandi e progetti creati appositamente per il finanziamento di queste.
È infatti fondamentale tenere in considerazione che essendo società altamente innovative sono ad elevato rischio di fallibilità e dunque trovano difficoltà nel reperire finanziamenti attraverso i canali tradizionali; proprio per questo il legislatore ha voluto garantire inizialmente alle sole start-up, e successivamente anche alle pmi innovative, la possibilità di finanziamento attraverso il canale dell’equity crowdfunding, il quale permette la raccolta di capitale all’interno di piattaforme digitali.
A conclusione della tesi verrà effettuata un’analisi empirica su un campione di circa 160 start-up presenti su tutto il territorio italiano, con l’obiettivo di investigare e approfondire le peculiarità che caratterizzano maggiormente queste imprese innovative; tra i numerosi aspetti esaminati sarà possibile ritrovare i requisiti di innovazione soddisfatti, la distribuzione geografica e le varie attività svolte da queste.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La generazione di nuove attività imprenditoriali è un processo essenziale per la crescita economica e permette di portare innovazione e produrre sviluppo, e rappresenta un veicolo fondamentale per l’ingresso nel contesto economico di nuove e diverse organizzazioni di idee. La Commissione Europea ha evidenziato che per trasformare in successo un’iniziativa imprenditorie è necessaria la capacità di combinare creatività o innovazione con una sana gestione e di saper adattare un’impresa per ottimizzarne lo sviluppo in tutte le fasi del suo ciclo di vita. Il presente lavoro si prefigge di analizzare il processo decisionale che porta l’imprenditore alla creazione di una nuova impresa. Il fine di questa analisi è quello di individuare le dinamiche che dominano questo tipo di processo, le modalità tramite cui l’imprenditore affronta l’incertezza, coglie le opportunità, le sfrutta e giunge efficacemente a nuove iniziative e a nuovi business. Sono emerse numerose teorie che hanno studiato il processo decisionale, una tra tutte l’effectuation theory. Attraverso questa teoria ciò che si vuole approfondire è come attraverso logica effettuale un imprenditore riesca a riconoscere e creare nuove opportunità di business.
Partendo dal fenomeno “start-up” si analizza il fenomeno delle start-up innovative, con particolare attenzione al mondo della mobilità e trasporti. In questo settore, infatti, come conseguenza della maggiore consapevolezza da parte della popolazione verso le tematiche ambientali, l’innovazione aziendale offre un grande contributo verso la sostenibilità urbana. Il lavoro porta come caso di studio la start-up BusForFun, una giovane mobility company che viaggia in modo sostenibile, sicuro ed economico attraverso l’Europa. Si approfondirà la situazione attuale caratterizzata da una profonda crisi, causata dalla diffusione della pandemia di COVID-19. Moltissime start-up, infatti, per fronteggiare tale crisi hanno deciso di fare “pivot”, e dunque cambiare strategia di business in base alle esigenze del mercato.

Il seguente percorso di tesi si articola in due parti.
Nella prima si andranno ad illustrare le varie possibili fonti di finanziamento alle quali uno o più imprenditori potranno rivolgersi nella creazione di una nuova impresa, con una attenzione particolare a quello che è il crowdfunding, o finanziamento collettivo, considerato una alternativa valida e innovativa alle forme tradizionali per raccogliere i capitali necessari.
Nella seconda parte sarà presentata la startup italiana Look Ahead, di cui il sottoscritto ne rappresenta una delle menti, come esempio di una startup che ha scelto di usufruire di questo particolare tipo di finanziamento. In particolare, ne sarà ricostruito l’intero Business Plan redatto in sede accademica, in modo da mettere in evidenza le caratteristiche del prodotto offerto, il segmento di mercato servito, il modello di business e l’analisi finanziaria.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Nell’attuale contesto provato dagli effetti di una profonda crisi globale, alcune iniziative imprenditoriali caratterizzate da alti tassi di innovazione, hanno permesso a diverse economie di generare notevoli vantaggi competitivi. I principali attori dell’innovazione in questo senso sono le imprese startup, iniziative economiche di nuova costituzione che si originano da idee di business nuove rispetto al passato, spesso nel settore delle tecnologie, e che sono in grado di generare ricchezza e occupazione. Il presente lavoro si focalizza sull’analisi della normativa italiana sulle “start-up innovative”. Dopo aver appurato il significato e il ruolo che tali imprese rivestono nello scenario economico attuale ne verranno approfondite le caratteristiche principali. Saranno poi esaminati i principali interventi promossi dai vari Stati a favore di queste nuove realtà analizzando i casi più conosciuti e riusciti. Si procederà poi con lo studio della normativa introdotta nel nostro Paese analizzando i requisiti di legge richiesti per il riconoscimento dello status di start-up innovativa, start-up a vocazione sociale e di incubatore certificato. Verranno presentati poi alcuni dati statistici sulla diffusione e distribuzione di queste realtà in Italia in seguito all’introduzione del Decreto. Si procederà poi ad esaminare le agevolazioni, le deroghe e le altre misure di favore previste dalla legge per le start-up e gli incubatori.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Negli ultimi anni il fenomeno relativo alle start up innovative, quale fenomeno di sviluppo economico, è stato oggetto di particolare attenzione da parte dei governi, società ed economisti. Il seguente lavoro di tesi si prefigge di studiare il panorama relativo alle start up innovative in Italia, con un’attenzione particolare alle reti sociali attivate dall’imprenditore per l’avvio e lo sviluppo di questa attività.
Il focus del primo capitolo riguarda il processo di generazione di una nuova impresa, pertanto si cercherà di descrivere le fasi di vita delle start up fornendone una descrizione il più completa possibile, ponendo un’attenzione particolare al concetto di innovazione, alla composizione del team imprenditoriale quale fattore che contribuisce al successo della start up, alle modalità di finanziamento dell’attività in tutte le sue fasi e ai business model utilizzati.
Lo scopo del secondo capitolo sarà quello di indagare sulle reti relazionali attivate dall’imprenditore per favorire lo start up d’impresa. Infatti, tra gli sviluppi recenti delle teorie dell’imprenditorialità, numerose ricerche riguardano la relazione tra l’imprenditoria e le reti sociali. L'indagine sul tema delle reti sociali viene svolta attraverso una revisione della letteratura esistente in materia e, successivamente, attraverso lo studio empirico di un dataset relativo alle performance economico-finanziarie e le caratteristiche dell’imprenditore e dei soci che formano la start up innovativa in Italia. Il campione preso in analisi è formato da cinquecento start up innovative nate negli ultimi anni in Italia.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il presente lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di comprendere, a distanza di oltre quattro anni dall’emanazione del D.L. 179/2012, se le start up siano davvero lo strumento per rilanciare l’economia italiana e, soprattutto, se l’attuazione e la disciplina delle stesse, sia stata idoneamente positivizzata dall’ordinamento giuridico.
In particolare, dopo aver delineato i confini definitori delle start up e coltone i connotati principali, verranno analizzati gli interventi legislativi previsti ad hoc per le start up sia sotto il profilo civilistico-commerciale, che giuslavoristico, ma soprattutto fiscale e verificare se queste misure abbiano davvero aiutato l’imprenditoria italiana.
Accanto a questa analisi, prettamente giuridica, si affiancherà l’ulteriore disamina di stampo maggiormente fiscale ed economico perché improntato sull’esame degli aspetti fiscali delle politiche di sostegno a favore delle start up, cogliendone le peculiarità e soprattutto evidenziando gli sforzi operati dall’Italia rispetto a quanto attuato dagli altri stati esteri.

Texte intégralRésumé :
L’elaborato ha lo scopo di analizzare la disciplina delle start-up innovative italiane e, in particolare, di studiare in che cosa consistono le agevolazioni fiscali di cui possono fruire. Dopo una breve introduzione, che espone il tema della tesi, il primo capitolo fornisce una panoramica su tale nuova tipologia di impresa, a partire dalla definizione fino a giungere alla suddivisione delle fasi del ciclo di vita.
Il secondo capitolo, attraverso lo studio del Decreto-legge n. 179/2012, affronta la disciplina delle start-up innovative italiane, esaminandone la definizione secondo la normativa e introducendo anche le figure degli incubatori certificati e delle Piccole e Medie Imprese innovative.
Il terzo capitolo entra nel vivo dell’elaborato articolando le numerose agevolazioni fiscali di cui le start-up possono beneficiare, facendo anche una breve descrizione delle misure agevolative societarie, finanziarie e giulavoristiche.
Infine, il quarto capitolo si concentra sull’analisi di un campione di start-up innovative estrapolato dal database “Aida – Analisi Informatizzata Delle Aziende”, che prende in considerazione le aziende che hanno come ultimo bilancio disponibile quello risalente al 2018, che sono contraddistinte da imposte maggiore di zero e da un valore della produzione superiore a centomila euro, mentre sono escluse quelle che sono nel primo anno di esercizio e quelle che sono interessate da procedure concorsuali, come il fallimento e la liquidazione. Ciò che si vuole ottenere è l’incidenza dell’imposta sull’utile lordo, attraverso i dati estrapolati per le varie aziende nel biennio 2017-2018, per capire in che modo le agevolazioni fiscali influenzino questo dato, paragonando, poi, la percentuale ricavata con l’aliquota prevista per tutte le altre tipologie imprese.
L’elaborato si conclude descrivendo i risultati che sono emersi dall’analisi, evidenziando il modo in cui le agevolazioni influiscono sul dato finale.

Il crowdfunding consiste nella raccolta di somme di denaro da una “folla” di persone tramite la rete.
La tesi si focalizza sulla normativa applicabile all’equity crowdfunding, la quale da la possibilità di investire nel capitale di rischio di una start up innovativa attraverso dei portali on-line.
La recente normativa in tema di equity crowdfunding introdotta dal decreto legge n. 179/2012 fissa i requisiti necessari per la definizione di un impresa come start up innovativa e le deroghe al diritto comune di cui essa si può avvalere; si analizzeranno in particolar modo le deroghe al diritto societario e la disciplina dettata per le offerte al pubblico di strumenti finanziari di start up innovative.
Si concluderà con una panoramica dei soggetti coinvolti nel fenomeno e dei ruoli che essi ricoprono, cercando di capire quanto questo fenomeno sia innovativo, a quali rischi vengono esposti gli investitori e se effettivamente può costituire un utile strumento per la crescita del nostro paese.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il D.L. 179/2012 introduce nell'ordinamento italiano la definizione di start-up innovativa, predisponendo un quadro di riferimento articolato ed organico che interviene su materie differenti quali le agevolazioni fiscali, la disciplina societaria, il mercato del lavoro e il diritto fallimentare. Una posizione di preminenza è ricoperta dalle disposizioni di carattere tributario, finalizzate a supportare lo sviluppo imprenditoriale delle idee innovative, proponendo un articolato e strutturato meccanismo di incentivi rivolti a i dipendenti, investitori-soci, collaboratori e consulenti. L’obiettivo è favorire la crescita sostenibile, lo sviluppo tecnologico, la nuova imprenditorialità e l’occupazione in particolare giovanile, il tutto volendo contestualmente contribuire alla creazione di un contesto maggiormente favorevole all'innovazione al fine di promuovere maggiore mobilità sociale e attrarre in Italia talenti, imprese innovative e capitali dall'estero. Con il tempo il Legislatore ha apportato dei ritocchi talvolta abrogativi, talaltra modificativi per perfezionare la disciplina a supporto della crescita: modifiche sono state apportate con il D.L. 76/2013 il cosiddetto “Decreto Lavoro” e successivamente con il D.L. 3/2015 “Decreto Investment Compact” il quale ha introdotto la figura delle piccole e medie imprese innovative. Infine con la Legge 232/2016, la cosiddetta Legge di Stabilità 2017, sono state apportate le ultime modifiche in materia di crescita e sono state prorogate le agevolazioni del D.L. 179/2012.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Using data from the Kauffman Firm Survey (KFS), this thesis explores the effects that innovation activities has on the survival of new firms. The KFS follows 4,928 American start-ups from 2004 to 2011. A probit model is used to examine the relationships that may exist between a number of different variables relating to innovation and survival. The results indicate that firms that invest in research and development (R&D) and machinery and equipment persistently are more likely to survive than those that do not, or those that only invest once in these types of innovative business activities. Also, with regards to intellectual property (copyrights, trademarks and patents), firms that hold these types of intellectual property have a better chance of survival than those that do not hold any intellectual property.

Questa tesi si pone l’obiettivo di fornire un quadro generale relativo allo stato della Green Economy in Italia, riservando particolare attenzione alle start-up innovative e all’eco-innovazione, per poi passare ad una analisi particolareggiata delle start-up innovative di Marche, Umbria ed Abruzzo attive nel campo dell’ economia verde.
Nel realizzare questo approfondimento ho raccolto, catalogato e rielaborato informazioni presenti nella sezione speciale del Registro delle Imprese dedicata alle start-up innovative. Si è trattato di selezionare le imprese green dall’universo delle start-up innovative di Umbria, Marche ed Abruzzo raccogliendone le informazioni più significative (Nome, Provincia, inizio attività, codice Ateco, requisiti d’innovazione, eventuale alto valore tecnologico in ambito energetico, dimensione economica, caratteristiche della risorse umane e mission dell’impresa) creando un dataset tramite un foglio excel.
Terminata la fase di raccolta e catalogazione di dati è cominciato il lavoro di analisi che ha condotto allo studio riportato nella tesi. Nel riportare e commentare le informazioni raccolte mi sono avvalso dell’ausilio di grafici.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La tesi si propone di indagare le principali cause che determinano l'insuccesso delle start-up innovative nel panorama italiano. L’elaborato, analizzando le cause per cui alcune start-up non riescono a raggiungere il successo sperato, vuole favorire la possibilità di trarre utili spunti di riflessione al fine di evitare o limitare i fattori e i comportamenti che maggiormente incidono sull’insuccesso delle start-up. Il lavoro di ricerca si basa su delle interviste condotte con imprenditori che hanno avuto esperienze di fallimento dopo aver fondato una start-up innovativa.
Un particolare livello di approfondimento è dedicato al ruolo che svolge il team imprenditoriale per il successo della start-up.
Il motivo per cui questa tesi si propone di analizzare i casi di insuccesso si fonda sull’idea che dai fallimenti spesso si possono trarre utili insegnamenti. Data la difficoltà di imitare modelli di business che si sono affermati nel mercato, può essere di maggior utilità indagare le cause o i comportamenti tipici che determinano l’insuccesso dei progetti imprenditoriali. Ogni business model di successo si basa su un precario equilibrio tra diversi fattori, tale da renderne complicata la riproduzione in un altro contesto: una variazione, anche minima, di un solo elemento può compromettere la stabilità dell’intero sistema di offerta. (Vicari, 2018).
L’elaborato si propone inoltre di favorire lo sviluppo di una cultura positiva del fallimento: “l’insuccesso è parte integrante e a volte necessaria del percorso di un imprenditore […] e una cultura positiva rappresenta la premessa indispensabile per il successo futuro e per affrontare in maniera consapevole il rischio di una nuova iniziativa imprenditoriale.” (Saviozzi, 2017)

Texte intégralRésumé :
This research is focused on the following question: how do French high-tech start-ups integrate the concept of value for customers? After an exploration of the academic literature, we present an empirical approach, based on our professional background as entrepreneur. This chapter offers a quantitative approach towards primary data: 1 196 managers of high-tech start-ups, with 280 qualified answers. This approach is based on a research model, 6 hypotheses, variables allowing the design of a questionnaire, and a coding system. We finally propose 5 main findings. First, an eleven step process, allowing a start-up manager to position its price. Second, a typology of the value propositions, including 9 possibilities. Third, we established a general weakness of the 58 % of the French high-tech startups value propositions, without correlation between start-ups maturity and value proposition’s improvement. Fourth finding: the poor level of value creation: only 26 % of our panel creates more value than the competition. Our fifth and last main finding will address some macro-economic considerations, using syllogism: the majority of the French high-tech start-ups have an unattractive value proposition; the correlation between value proposition and companies’ performances has been established by the literature: is the value propositions’ weakness could contribute to explain the poor growth of French SME’s, as well as the poor average profitability of French VC’s?Cette thèse est centrée sur la question de recherche suivante : comment les start-up technologiques françaises intègrent-elles le concept de création de valeur pour leurs clients ?

Cette approche repose sur un modèle de recherche, six hypothèses, des variables permettant de construire un questionnaire, et un système de codage.

Cela peut-il contribuer à expliquer, d’une part l’atonie de la croissance des PME françaises, et d’autre part, les faibles performances des capital–risqueurs français ?Après une exploration de la littérature académique, nous proposons une démarche empirique partant de notre expérience d’entrepreneur.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Background: There is a great interest in researching prescriptive methods as entrepreneurs demand guidance for start-up processes. A learn-by-doing methodology called lean start-up methodology has influenced tech entrepreneurs. Further, design thinking is another methodology for developing innovation that has been suggested to benefit in a software context. The uncertain nature requiring rapid innovation for software start-ups has sparked the interest in exploring the combination of the methodologies in an entrepreneurial context to utilize the benefits of both. However, the methodologies have been criticized due to a lack of rigor. It is therefore an opportunity to explore applicability of lean start-up in practice and design thinking in a software context to develop a unique methodology integrating lean start-up and design thinking.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the occurrence of the two innovation driven methods lean start-up and design thinking in successful software start-ups, to develop a theory of an integrated methodology that utilizes the benefits of both. The intent is to provide explicit guidance for both scholars and entrepreneurs. Methodology: An exploratory qualitative method was used with an inductive approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with six founders of successful software companies. Conclusion: The findings advance the understanding of the lean start-up methodology in practice, by extending the aspect of idea development and clarifying the use of iterating aspects of the business model. The findings update the sequence of design thinking when applied in a software context and extend the iterating aspect, to adapt to the need for rapid development. The theory of suggested integration confirms that the first stages of design thinking initiate the idea process, emphasizing early consideration of desirability, viability, and feasibility, while lean start-up is integrated into the product development process, emphasizing rapid iterating development for validation.

Thesis, Internationella Handelshögskolan, Högskolan i Jönköping, IHH, Informatik, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-27490.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Start-ups face several issues and challenges in the course of their development as a compa-ny. Open innovation has been discussed in research for more than a decade as a concept, which can bring benefits to a company. Even though most of the research has been focus-ing on large enterprises, some researchers discuss also benefits for small companies like start-ups. Nevertheless, it can be observed that some start-ups decide to adopt the opposite of open innovation, namely closed innovation, through not sharing internal knowledge to the outside world. Hence, start-ups perceive the benefits of open innovation differently and decide accordingly whether to adopt open innovation or not. The purpose of this study is to explore if start-ups decide to actually do the former and what reasons they have to do so. Therefore, this study will further discover at what point in the development of their start-up and with whom they adopt open innovation. As an attractive industry for start-ups, the mobile services industry is selected as a scope for this study. Furthermore, Sweden is selected as the country of study, due to its reputation as one of the most innova-tive countries in the world. A qualitative study has been conducted using in-depth interviews with founders and co-founders of start-ups to retrieve narrative stories about their start-up’s development from the first day of an idea to a scalable business, and their experiences and motivations in re-gards to the application of open innovation practices. The analysis of this study detects pat-terns among the interviewed start-ups and concludes that start-ups in the mobile services industry in Sweden adopt open innovation in each phase of their development process. Furthermore, these patterns include several reasons why the start-ups applied open innova-tion practices and with whom, which are changing over the course of their development.

“[A]s much as any other product, the car has shaped not only the global economy but how billions of people live”1,whilethe digital area is nowshapingthe car.Coopetition, a strategy presenting firms with the opportunity to collaborate and compete at the same time,is becoming a prevalent phenomenonamong large OEMs and start-ups in the automotive industry.Respectively, considering that coopetition, in the context of open innovation and new technologies, has been identified as a successful strategy, this thesis will therefore analyse the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups in the context of coopetition and corporate open innovation strategies. Several typesof corporate incubators, accelerators and corporate innovation labs emerged within the last years, howeveran integration of all three of these has not yet been widely explored. Accordingly, while these open innovation streamsare used by large corporationsto get access to the start-upecosystemand increase their innovation capabilities, the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups will further lead to CIIAs (a combined approach of corporate incubators, corporate innovation labs and corporate accelerators),demonstratedin the context of coopetition. This exploratory study therebycontributes to the relationship between external start-ups and OEMsthrough aCIIA approach,answering the two following researchquestions;•What are the main drivers of the OEM and external start-uprelationship?•How do OEMs and external start-ups coopete in the context of corporate open innovation strategies?To dulyanswer these research questions, we choseaqualitative researchmethodcombined with an interpretivist and inductiveapproachas well asempirical findings generated from 6semi-structured interviews. We furthercontributed tothe illustrationof the key aspects of CIIAsas well asthe motives, management and implications behind the relationshipsbetween OEMs and external start-upsbyaconceptual framework. Our analysishence showsthe significanceof the access to complementary resources, the co-creation and co-development of value as well as the systematic implementation of a proof of conceptin the light of thesecoopetitive relationshipsbetween CIIAs and external start-ups.However, consideringthat thisresearch has been based on the German automotive industry only, it will require further research in other contexts, sectors or countries. To conclude, thisthesis contributes tothe management literature ofcoopetition, corporate innovation and entrepreneurship. We proposeda finalframeworkto highlightthekey motives, the management and the implications behind thecoopetitive relationshipsbetween OEMsand external start-upsthrough the CIIA platform.This willexpectedly help managers and entrepreneurs develop efficientmanagement techniques as well asfurther recognize and understand the influential dynamicspresent in these relationships

Leadership is a complex concept and its definition and meaning is at the centre of scholars’ discussions, and especially, when the role of leader is played by a woman, the question become even more complicated.
The purpose of this thesis is to examine firstly the diverse typology of leadership that women adopt, and secondly, the possibilities and issues they encounter in such a powerful position. In particular, I will focus my attention on the role that women assume when it comes to be en entrepreneur and run a start-up company.
Considering the aim of this study, I will firstly provide a theoretical framework on the various studies on leadership, its role and definition, and, in particular, its different styles. I will also focus my attention on the notion of Emotional Intelligence and on the relationship with leadership. Lastly, I will consider the gender stereotype, when related to leadership.
By using a French start-up as a case study, I will describe the role of a female entrepreneur and her leadership.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The determinants of success in venture capital financing are explored in this manuscript. 1247 venture capital funds formed over a twenty-year time period are empirically analyzed with results that support theoretical research from extant finance and economics literature. Venture capitalists' choices of portfolio size, distance from portfolio firms, location, and to some extent, level of diversification in their investment portfolio, are all significant factors in explaining the success rates of venture capital funds. These results are robust even when controlling for other characteristics of venture funds and entrepreneurial firms, such as the stage of development and industry of the portfolio firms, which may affect success rates of venture capitalist portfolios.

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and EconomicsThis work project is aimed at cooperation with the company Plux towards a project, where we aim to solve a specific problem the company wants to tackle, thus simulating a professional consultancy project. I started by discussing the problem with the company, where we agreed that the research question for my project would be “How to Increase Plux’s Market Share in the Sports Sector?” Towards this end I structured my work project in 4 key areas. First, I worked towards the Identification area, where I did an environmental, competitor and internal analysis to be able to correctly identify the problem and its context. Then, I proceeded to the Disaggregation area, where I performed a SWOT, Porter’s 5 Forces and Value Chain analysis to disaggregate the problem into its underlying components. This phase concluded with the postulation of 4 hypotheses as to the manifestations of the problem. After arriving at these hypotheses, I did a Validation phase, where I tested the validity of each hypothesis to determine its strategic importance and arrived at the conclusion that the problem was mainly a Marketing and P&S Offering issue. Finally, I provide recommendations to solve both these issues, as well as some limitations as to their applicability and impact. In the course of my work project, I maintained a close relationship with Plux by way of email exchanges and periodic meetings at their office, conducted interviews to major clients and collected data from competitors and sector institutions. I considered it to be a very rewarding professional work, and I present my thanks both to Plux’s team, who have been extremely helpful throughout the whole semester, and my counselor, for his invaluable advice and support from beginning to end.

SPRINGER, JULIAN, et MIKO KINNUNEN. « Value creation through digital services in start-up support organisations ». Thesis, KTH, Industriell Management, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-239721.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Background and purpose - Digitisation is connecting various business actors to create interconnected ecosystems through digital platforms. Meanwhile entrepreneurial ecosystems are offering various benefits for start-ups e.g. through support organisations that offer services for them. Currently, these start-up support organisations face the challenge of leveraging digital services to create value for their member start-ups. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the digital services offered in start-up support organisations create value for start-ups. Approach - From a theoretical perspective, the sociology of value and service dominant logic concepts such as value co-creation and service ecosystems are considered. Qualitative methods were used to conduct a pre-study and an in-depth case study with a start-up hub in Stockholm's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Data was collected using 18 semi-structured interviews with start-ups and other actors in the ecosystem and participant observations of 17 events. Findings - Needs and challenges for start-ups were identified and mapped against the digital services used by the start-ups. These services facilitate interaction between various actors in the start-up hub. Seven interconnected value types for the start-ups were identified emerging from the use of digital and non-digital services in the start-up hub. Moreover, many of the digital services are not provided by the start-up hub alone but in collaboration with other actors, connecting the start-up hub to other actors in the start-up ecosystem. Research limitations and implications - The findings contribute to the understanding of how start-up support organisations leverage digital services to support their member start-ups. The connection of digital service usage to the creation of various value types provides a theoretical concept to research about service ecosystem. As the study has been conducted with a limited number of respondents and events in Stockholm, further research in other ecosystems and using different methods is suggested to ensure generalisability of the findings of this study. Practical implications - A number of practical suggestions for start-up support organisations can be derived from the findings, including that start-up support organisations can benefit from establishing and moderating a digital community, involving several actors from the ecosystem and continuously adapting digital services to the changing environment and needs of start-ups. Originality - To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first study to investigate digital services in entrepreneurial ecosystems from the perspective of value in service ecosystems.Bakgrund och syfte - Digitalisering förbinder olika affärsaktörer för att skapa sammankopplade ekosystem genom digitala plattformar. Samtidigt erbjuder start-up ekosystem olika fördelar för start-ups, till exempel genom stödorganisationer som erbjuder tjänster för start-ups. För tillfället möter dessa start-up stödorganisationer utmaningen att utnyttja digitala tjänster för att skapa värde för sina medlems start-ups. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur de digitala tjänster som erbjuds av stödorganisationerna skapar värde för start-ups. Tillvägagångssätt - Från ett teoretiskt perspektiv beaktas sociologin av värde och service dominerande logik begrepp som värde medskapande och serviceekosystem. Kvalitativa metoder användes för att genomföra en förstudie och en fördjupad fallstudie med ett start-up hub i Stockholms entreprenörsekosystem. Data samlades in med 18 halvstrukturerade intervjuer med start-ups och andra aktörer i ekosystemet och deltagarobservationer av 17 evenemang. Fynd - Behov och utmaningar för start-ups identifierades och mappades mot de digitala tjänster som start-ups använde. Dessa tjänster underlättar interaktion mellan olika aktörer i start-up hubben. Sju sammankopplade värdetyper för start-ups identifierades som en följd av användningen av digitala och icke-digitala tjänster i start-up hubben. Dessutom är många av de digitala tjänsterna inte tillhandahållen av start-uperna ensam men i samarbete med andra aktörer, som kopplar ihop start-up hubben till andra aktörer i start-up ekosystemet. Forskningsbegränsningar och konsekvenser - Fynden bidrar till att förstå hur start-up stödorganisationer utnyttjar digitala tjänster för att stöda sina medlemmar. Anslutningen av digital serviceanvändning till skapandet av olika värdetyper ger ett teoretiskt koncept för att undersöka serviceekosystemet. Eftersom studien har genomförts med ett begränsat antal respondenter och evenemang i Stockholm, föreslås ytterligare forskning i andra ekosystem och användande av olika metoder för att säkerställa generaliserbarhet av resultaten i denna studie. Praktiska konsekvenser - Ett antal praktiska förslag till start-up stödorganisationer kan härledas från resultaten, bland annat att de start-up stödorganisationerna kan dra nytta av att etablera och moderera ett digitalt samhälle, involvera flera aktörer från ekosystemet och kontinuerligt anpassa digitala tjänster till förändringen av miljön och behovet av start-ups. Originalitet – Till bästa kunskapen av författarna, är detta den första studien för att undersöka digitala tjänster i entreprenörsekosystem från perspektivet av värdet i service ekosystemen.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Cette thèse s’attache à étudier les premières étapes de vie des entreprises innovantes. Elles sont analysées tant sur le plan théorique, en faisant appel à la littérature sur l’entreprenariat, la théorie des organisations et celle sur l’innovation, que sur le plan empirique, via treize études de cas de start-ups en biotechnologie. Ce travail contribue à la littérature existante en introduisant théoriquement le concept d’agence entreprenariale. Les résultats sont présentés dans trois chapitres analytiques. Le premier analyse l’impact de la contrainte de financement, premièrement sur l’agence entreprenariale, et deuxièmement sur l’évolution de la firme. Le second s’intéresse au lien entre les caractéristiques de l’entrepreneur et les premiers stades de vie de l’entreprise. Enfin, le dernier chapitre examine le processus de transition allant du développement d’un projet d’innovation incubé dans une université jusqu’au début de la création de l’entreprise censée développer ce projetThe aim of this thesis is to further the understanding of the entrepreneurial process, from opportunity recognition to the development of start-ups. Various literatures are used, such as those of entrepreneurship, innovation studies and theories of organisations. The theoretical framework also introduces the concept of entrepreneurial agency. This framework is tested through thirteen case studies of biotech start-ups. The results are presented in three analytical chapters. The first develops the impact of involving financiers on entrepreneurial agency and firm evolution. The second aims at observing the effects of a change of leadership throughout the entrepreneurial activity, and links the background of the founder with the strategy of the firm. The final chapter attempts to understand the steps that a research project goes through when transitioning from the incubating organisation to a newly created enterprise

In Brazil, and more recently in the city of Fortaleza, there is a new form of entrepreneurship that is focused on the information and communication technology service sector and that draws the attention of young people, investors, governments, authors and media companies: it is known as the start-up movement. Today, it is considered to be a driving force behind the creative economy. Rooted on progressive discourse, the words enterprise and innovation seduce new economic agents motivated by success stories from Silicon Valley in America along with increasing commercial activity for digital goods and services. This master’s dissertation assesses, from a sociological point of view, the new productive wave problematized by the light of Manuel Castells’ informational capitalism. Considering the skeptical as well as the optimistic opinions about the impact of this new entrepreneurial rearrangement, the following question is asked: does the startup movement rekindle the capitalist spirit or does it present roots which divert from its speculating essence? The raised hypotheses are based on employability factors as well as cultural, economical, and political matters related to innovation and technology. This study has produced a nationwide quantitative assessment with a special focus on the reality of these Ceará firms; as well as comparative qualitative interviews on American and Brazilian experiences lived by identified agents. This dissertation outlines the public incentive policy of the federal government, the Start-up Brasil Program, from the perspective of these companies and provides details as to the discipline methods of the new enterprising way born in the United States. The startups are very young companies that are headed towards the economic sustainment of the productive sector services. These companies are dropping the seeds that will produce the re-enchantment of young people and bring them back to participation in political debate; they provide relief and reheats the job market; and they produce a democratization of the entrepreneurial “Do-It-Yourself” culture. They capitalize the pivot of the wall street wolves and of agents being charged for new masks. There are developmental logic’s prophylaxis in the face of dreadful innovation stagnation. The lack of continuity in Brazilian governmental politics and cultural nuances related to entrepreneurship are barring the desired regional success of this ecosystem.
Emerge no Brasil, e mais recentemente na cidade de Fortaleza, uma nova forma de empreendedorismo voltada ao setor de serviços de tecnologia de informação e comunicação, que desperta a atenção de jovens, investidores, governos, autores e empresas midiáticas: o movimento intitulado de startups, hoje considerado como força motriz da “economia criativa”. Usados em discursos progressistas, os verbos empreender e inovar seduzem novos agentes econômico, embasados nos casos de sucesso da região americana do Vale do Silício, que está alinhada às crescentes práticas de consumo de serviços e mercadorias digitais. Esta dissertação de mestrado esmiuça, sob ótica a sociológica, a nova onda produtiva problematizada à luz do capitalismo informacional de Manuel Castells. Bifurcada em visões céticas e otimistas quanto ao impacto deste novo rearranjo empreendedor, questiona-se: o movimento das startups rejuvenesce o espírito capitalista ou apresenta raízes divergentes à sua essência especulativa? As hipóteses levantadas estão relacionadas a fatores de empregabilidade, culturais, econômicos, políticos e questões relativas à inovação e tecnologia. Neste estudo foi feito um levantamento quantitativo no âmbito do Brasil, mas focando especialmente na realidade destas firmas cearenses. Tal foram realizadas entrevistas qualitativas, comparativas com experiências americanas e brasileiras, entre os agentes identificados. A dissertação esboça a política pública do governo federal de estímulo a estas empresas, o Programa Start-up Brasil, e detalha os métodos disciplinadores da nova forma de empreender transferida dos Estados Unidos. As startups são as firmas infantes que caminham rumo à sustentação econômica do setor produtivo de serviços. Semeiam o reencanto à participação de jovens no centro de debates políticos; proporcionam o alívio que reaquece o mercado de trabalho; acessibilizam o escudo democrático da cultura do empreendedorismo “faça-você-mesmo”. Capitalizam o pivô dos “lobos” de Wall Street e de agentes que se vestem de novas carapuças. São profilaxias da lógica desenvolvimentista perante o temido atraso inovativo. A falta de continuidade das políticas governamentais brasileiras e as nuances culturais relativas ao empreendedorismo são barreiras ao tão esperado sucesso regional deste ecossistema.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif la mise en place d’un processus d’intelligence économique au sein d’une start-up proposant une technologie émergente. Dans ce cas d’étude, nous avons mis en évidence une double émergence : l’environnement nouveau et l’entreprise en construction.Dans un premier temps, nous mobilisons un cadre analytique original pour le processus d’intelligence économique : les TIS – Technological Innovation Systems. Cette grille de lecture propose une analyse dynamique du système d’innovation de l’entreprise à travers la structure et les interactions auxquelles les acteurs du système prennent part. Dans un deuxième temps, nous abordons l’intérêt de considérer les éléments intrinsèques de la start-up pour la mise en place d’un processus d’intelligence économique. Notre compréhension des éléments spécifiques de la start-up, comme sa structure adhocratique, a permis dans un troisième temps, l’implémentation d’outils cohérents avec la prégnance de la dimension humaine et les ressources que l’entreprise peut mobiliser. Nous avons organisé la création de connaissances à partir du cycle de l’information, proposé une première évaluation du processus d’intelligence économique en place et déduit les prolongements envisagés. Dans un quatrième temps, nous nous sommes focalisés sur l’utilisation du brevet pour la compréhension de notre domaine technologique.Réalisée dans une démarche de recherche-action (menée dans le cadre d’une convention CIFRE), cette thèse expose l’expérimentation de notre méthode d’intelligence économique au sein de Poietis, start-up française de bioimpressionThis thesis aims to implement a competitive intelligence process within a start-up that develops an emerging technology. A double emergence has been identified: the environment of the company and the company itself.First, we call upon an original analytical framework for competitive intelligence: Technological Innovation Systems (TIS). This framework allows for a dynamic analysis of the innovation system of the company through the structure and the interactions between the agents within the system. Second, we address the benefit of taking into the account the intrinsic characteristics of the company for the implementation of a competitive intelligence process. Our understanding of specific elements of the start-up, its adhocratic structure for instance, has allowed in a third step to implement tools in line with the importance of the human dimension and the resources that the company can mobilize.We organized the creation of knowledge from the information cycle, suggest a first evaluation of the competitive intelligence process and deduced the considered extensions.Finally, we focused on the use of patent for the understanding of a technological domain.Carried out in an action research approach (conducted as part of a CIFRE contract), this thesis shows the test of our method of technology intelligence within Poietis, a French bioprinting start-up

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract. This study was undertaken as a master’s thesis in marketing in the spring of 2016. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of marketing communications in the innovation commercialization process in start-up companies and offer guidelines for start-up companies on utilizing marketing communications tools in the commercialization of innovative products. The reason for choosing this particular topic is that start-ups have a major role in creating innovations, but they may have trouble with commercializing them. We believe that marketing communications have the potential to enhance the possibilities of a company to success in their commercialization process.
This research is a qualitative case study of four start-ups that have discovered some form of new technological innovation and utilize it in their product. The primary data is collected using semi-structured interviews and puzzle exercise.
The theoretical part of the study is divided for three sections. The first theme contains topics of innovation, innovation strategy, product development and innovation commercialization process. The second theme is going through theory of marketing communications. The third section is theoretical framework which is built to combine theories regarding the innovation commercialization process and marketing communications. The theoretical framework is the basis which our research is built upon. The empirical part of our thesis comprises an analysis of our research data which is presented in a thematic order that follows order of our theoretical framework. In the chapter, we draw comparisons between theory and empirical data.
As a conclusion, we have formulated a start-up verified framework that is based on our theoretical framework, but altered to meet the commercialization process of a start-up company. The start-up-verified framework is applied in answering the research questions. As the main result we found out that the role of marketing communications is essential throughout the innovation commercialization process even though its importance and purpose fluctuates between different stages of the process. During the process of commercialization, the role of marketing communications evolves from preparing activities into implementation of actions.
This thesis contributes to the previous studies on commercialization process, as there are no studies made on within this specific start-up context combining commercialization and marketing communications. From a theoretical standpoint the results of this study highlight the iterative nature of the phases of commercialization process. As a managerial implication, our start-up verified framework serves outlines for discussion about marketing communications and how it could be connected to their commercialization process. Limitations of this thesis concern relatively small sample size of empirical data, which leads us to believe that our research does not reach a degree of validity that would be suitable for making generalizations. We also knowingly ignore whatever happens after the last stage of commercialization process, so we do not argue how a start-up company would continue to develop if we knew that the commercialization process had been carried out successfully.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Si l’explosion du système Est-Ouest marque la fin de l’idée de confrontation globale en tant que modèle de la guerre depuis la fin du second conflit mondial, on doit plus fondamentalement s’interroger sur les changements intervenus depuis les années 90 en ce qui concerne le statut de la guerre elle-même et sur le rôle des opérations de paix dans les relations internationales. Les crises politiques découlant de conflits internes sont des sources de déstabilisation et de fragilisation des institutions locales qui subissent le tumulte et affaiblissent la capacité des acteurs à sortir d’une telle situation politique. La nécessité de renforcer les capacités locales pendant cette période charnière afin d’éviter les crises récurrentes se traduit par la présence de la Communauté internationale qui déploie une multitude de stratégies. Il existe en effet, dans la grammaire des Nations Unies, un continuum de modes de gestion des crises qui va des formes les plus réservées de la persuasion à certaines modalités de diplomatie coercitive, impliquant un usage limité de la violence. Lorsqu’on examine les opérations de paix en RDC, un ensemble dynamique de tensions et de liaisons, oscillant entre ordre et désordre dans ses expressions institutionnelles, le constat qui se dégage est que la question de la paix exige une analyse qui prenne en compte plusieurs facteurs. D’où le recours à une approche interdisciplinaire, mobilisant des courants critiques au sein des relations internationales tout en alliant la sociologie des relations internationales. Notre approche interdisciplinaire qui est au centre de cette thèse peut aussi être d’un grand intérêt dans le renforcement de l’approche polémologique, elle-même fort utile pour appréhender les modalités de gouvernance par les groupes politico-militaires. Notre étude s’attache à évaluer la pertinence et la cohérence des pratiques et conduites des acteurs internationaux pour mieux dégager les contours axiologiques et idéologiques de la gestion des crises itérativesIf the explosion of the East/West system marks the end of the idea of global confrontation as model of the war since the end of the second world conflict, we more fundamentally have to wonder about the changes which took place since the 90s as regards the status of the very war and about the role of the peace operations in the international relations. The political crises ensuing from internal conflicts are sources of destabilization and weakening of the local institutions which undergo the tumult and weaken the capacity of the actors to go out of such a political situation. The necessity of strengthening the local capacities during this pivotal period to avoid the recurring crises is translated by the presence of the international community which spreads a multitude of strategies. There is indeed in the grammar of United Nations a continuum in the modes of crises’ management which goes the most reserved forms of the persuasion to certain modalities of coercive diplomacy, implying a use limited by the violence. When we examine the peace operations in RDC, dynamic set tensions and connections, oscillating between order and disorder in its institutional expressions, the report which gets free is that the question of the peace requires an analysis which takes into account several factors. Hence the use of an interdisciplinary approach, involving both critical currents in international relations (critical constructivism) while combining the sociology of international relations. Our study attempts to estimate the relevance and the coherence of the practices and the conducts of the international actors in a better way axiological and ideological outlines of the management of the iterative crises

Texte intégralRésumé :
Cette thèse traite de l’entreprise pour encourager les activités entrepreneuriales et innovantes. Le premier chapitre examine et évalue la réaction du secteur privé à la participation du public au capital-risque. Le deuxième chapitre étudie et estime l’écart de performance entre les fonds de capital-risque gouvernementaux et les fonds privés, et les facteurs déterminants de cet écart. Le troisième chapitre fournit un cadre théorique pour comprendre et analyser la motivation pour l’innovation de niveau de l’entreprise dans les réseaux industriels. Dans le Chapitre 1, intitulé « Les gouvernements peuvent-ils favoriser le développement du capital-risque ? », j’examine le rôle de l’intervention gouvernementale dans l’émergence du capital risque (VC, pour ’venture capital’) en Chine de 1999 à 2013, dans l’aide base de données novatrice et d’une expérience politique unique. L’analyse statistique, qui utilise la méthode des doubles différences, montre que le programme du gouvernement central conduit à une augmentation de l’investissement local de la part des fonds de VCs publics et privés. Dans le Chapitre 2, intitulé « (Sous-)performance de capital-risque public : preuves et explications », j’utilise un échantillon de la même source que celui du chapitre 1, et je trouve que les start-ups soutenues par des fonds de capital-risque gouvernementaux sont moins susceptibles d’être introduites en bourse que les fonds de VC privés. Les résultats indiquent que l’écart de performance est réduit lorsque le marché du capital-risque passe à un stade plus avancé. Dans le Chapitre 3, intitulé « l’Association d’entreprise dans un contexte d’information imparfaite le long de la chaîne de valeur mondiale », (co-écrit avec Rui Zhang), nous montrons l’existence d’équilibres multiples dans lesquels un fournisseur peut être associé à différents sièges, mais à des étapes différentes de la chaîne de valeur. Notre modèle comporte également des forces compensatoires d’incitations à l’innovation des entreprises et nous prédisons une tendance non monotone entre innovation et productivité des entreprisesThis dissertation investigates the firm incentives to participate in entrepreneurial and innovative activities. The first chapter examines and evaluates the private sector’s response to public involvement in venture capital. The second chapter studies and estimates the performance gap between government linked and private venture capitalists and the determining factors of this performance gap. The third chapter provides a theoretical framework to understand and analyze the firm-level innovation incentives in the industrial networks. In Chapter 1, titled "Can Governments Foster the Development of Venture Capital?", I examine the role of government intervention in the emergence of venture capital (VC) in China during 1999-2013 using a novel dataset and a unique policy experiment. The difference-indifference analysis shows that the central government program leads to an increase in local investment from both government and private VCs. In Chapter 2, titled "(Under)performance of government venture capitalists: Evidence and explanations", using the sample from the same source as in Chapter 1, I find that startups backed by government VCs are less likely to have Initial Public Offering (IPO) exits than private VCs. Evidence shows that the performance gap is narrowed down when the VC market develops into a more mature stage. In Chapter 3, titled "Firm Level Match under Imperfect Information Along the Global Value Chain", (joint with Rui Zhang), we develop a 1-m frictional positive assortative matching (PAM) model along the global value chain. We show the existence of multiple equilibria where a supplier could be matched to different headquarters, but at different stages on the value chain. Our model also features countervailing forces of firm innovation incentives and we predict a nonmonotonic pattern between innovation and firm productivity

Texte intégralRésumé :
The present thesis examines the relationship between innovation and gender diversity in the workforce, through the lens of new firms in the Stockholm Tech start-up ecosystem. Taking a point of departure in a knowledge-based understanding of innovation and firm dynamics, the study explores the relationship between gender and innovation at the firm level. First, the theoretical framework is built on relevant literature and empirical research in a multidisciplinary fashion. Then, a qualitative inquiry is designed with the aim of contributing to the growing research corpus in the intersection of gender diversity and firm capacity to innovate. Employing a qualitative interviewing method, data was collected among founders and founding team members of entry-level tech start-ups in Stockholm. The objective was to document how founders and entrepreneurs, in general, approach gender diversity when building their start-up teams. The analysis reveals that gender diversity, albeit acknowledged as an input to innovative performance, is not prioritized over other human capital aspects, such as talent. This is in line with the bulk of literature that studies the diversity in knowledge base and firm performance, hence highlighting the cognitive aspects of innovation process. The thesis findings are of considerable benefit both for broadening the extant approach to innovation process and for understanding gender diversity dynamics in the workforce.

Texte intégralRésumé :
When developing new products, it is important to be able to evaluate their readiness as this helps organizations manage three major challenges of product development, performance, schedule, and budget. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) discovered this in 1990 and developed a nine-level framework to measure the progression of technology development, Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). The framework has since then been adopted by many different industries, among them OEMs. However, there are more aspects of the innovation process than just technology. Research topics such as user centered design and business model innovation has lately gained much attention, indicating that user and business aspects of the innovation are important. Therefore, the purpose of his thesis was to propose a framework to evaluate the readiness of business, user and technology aspects. To do so, a case study was performed at the Swedish OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Husqvarna Group, a global producer of equipment for garden and park care, as well as for the construction industry. A literature study was performed to create an understanding of the current knowledge on the topic. Semi structured interviews were used to investigate how innovation is performed at the researched company. The result from these interviews was contrasted with the results from interviews at four other Swedish OEMs, to increase external validity. Lastly the findings were validated through focus group interviews at Husqvarna Group. The case study resulted in the identification of important steps when developing viable, desirable, and feasible products. From these, the nine most important for business and user was identified and frameworks for business and user readiness respectively were developed, along with attainment criteria for each level. The findings showed that the TRL framework still holds relevance, however the attainment criteria were adjusted to better suit OEMs. Together these three frameworks create the Innovation Readiness Level (IRL) framework.Vid utveckling av nya produkter finns det tre stora utmaningar i produktutvecklingen; prestanda, tid och budget, därför är det viktigt att ständig stötta processen genom att utvärdera projektets mognadsgrad. År 1990 utvecklade NASA en niogradig skala som kan tillämpas som ett ramverk för att mäta mognadsgraden av en teknikutveckling, Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), detta har sedan dess införts av många industriföretag. När det kommer till innovation finns det dock fler aspekter än enbart teknik att ta hänsyn till. Forskning inom användarfokuserad design och affärsmodellsinnovation har fått ökad uppmärksamhet den senaste tiden, vilket indikerar att användare och affär är viktiga aspekter inom innovation. Syftet med denna studie är att föreslå ett ramverk för att utvärdera mognadsgraden utifrån ett affärs-, användar- och teknikperspektiv. För att genomföra detta gjordes en fallstudie på det svenska industriföretaget Husqvarna Group, en global tillverkare av skogs-, park- och trädgårdsprodukter samt utrustning för konstruktionsindustrin. För att skapa en förståelse av den befintliga kunskapen inom ämnet gjordes en bred litteraturstudie. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes för att undersöka hur innovation hanteras inom Husqvarna Group. Resultatet från det undersökta företaget ställdes i kontrast med intervjuresultat från fyra andra svenska industriföretag för att skapa ett mer generaliserbart resultat. Till sist testades resultatet genom validering med fokusgruppsintervjuer på Husqvarna Group. Fallstudien resulterade i identifiering av betydelsefulla steg vid utveckling av en ny produkt som ordnades kronologiskt. Vid varje nivå i skalan föreslogs en rad kriterier från ett affärs- respektive användarperspektiv som ett produktutvecklingsprojekt bör uppnå för att öka chansen att bli väl mottagen när den når marknaden. Resultatet visade även att TRL-ramverket fortfarande är aktuellt och relevant, men uppnåendekriterier anpassades för ett industriföretag. Tillsammans skapar dessa tre faktorer det föreslagna ramverket Innovation Readiness Levels (IRL).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Den svenska skogsindustrin står inför en rad utmaningar inom den närmaste framtiden. Bioteknik anses kunna skapa en rad konkurrensfördelar åt svenska skogsindustriföretag för att möta dessa utmaningar. I denna kandidatuppsats jämförs de två företagsformerna start-up företag och storföretag för att undersöka i vilken organisationsform som bioteknik har störst sannolikhet att lyckas kommersialiseras inom. Företagsformerna jämförs genom att studera tre dimensioner, vilka uppfattats som särskilt viktiga i det teoretiska ramverk som sammanställts i uppsatsen: betydelsen av entreprenören, kunskapen och teknologin. Resultatet visar att den viktigaste förutsättningen för en lyckad innovationsprocess är en entreprenör som har en stor drivkraft och vision, samt en stor villighet att ta risker. Den andra undersökta dimensionen, den tekniska och kommersiella kunskapen inom innovationsprocessen, förefaller vara mindre viktig då denna i stora företag ofta redan finns internt. Start-up företag är benägna att anskaffa kompetensen externt när den saknas inom bolaget. Den tredje studerade dimensionen, teknologin som ligger till grund för innovationsprocesserna, kommer uteslutande från en akademisk institution. Det finns tre kriterier som denna måste uppfylla: patenterbar, unik och har marknadspotential. Uppsatsen visar att karaktären av de tre dimensioner i innovationsprocessen som studerades i hög grad berodde på företagsformen. Entreprenörs dimensionen föreföll vara särskilt fruktsam inom den organisation som start-up företaget motsvarade. Kunskaps-dimensionen å andra sidan visade att storföretag har enorma resurser i fråga om kunskap. Receptet för en framgångsrik innovationsprocess ligger sålunda i att kombinera styrkorna hos start-up företag och storföretag. För att göra detta föreslås en utvecklad modell av corporate venture, en så kallad tvåhandsorganisation. Denna modell belyser vikten av både inkrementell och radikal innovation i ett företag, samt att dessa enheter måste vara organisatoriskt separerade. En tvåhandsorganisation kommer enligt resultaten i denna kandidatuppsats att vara den organisation som med störst sannolikhet kommer att lyckas kommersialisera bioteknik inom skogsindustrin. Nyckelord: bioteknik, skogsindustri, kommersialisering, tvåhandsorganisation

Texte intégralRésumé :
This MSc thesis was a project performed in a start-up that develops sustainable devices to exploit renewable energies, specifically in the field of energy harvesting in small scale. The objective of the thesis is to demonstrate the importance of developing the technical side of a project together with the development of the market. The idea is to enhance the success possibilities and work to get to the market as fast as possible with a minimum sellable product using the resources as efficiently as possible. The market analysis was the first step to be performed to understand what the start-up was getting into, at the beginning it was clear that the generator should be targeted to power remote applications that require small amounts of energy and a market that is not suitable for present technologies such as solar PV or micro wind turbines. After this a series of potential markets were identified in order to limit the research and three opportunities were selected. The buoy market was chosen, it has several sub-markets and the AtoN buoys, Fishing buoys and Meteorological buoys were considered the most important and suitable ones. Once the market was defined, the needs of the clients and users were discovered through research in the form of interviews and bibliographical research. Later on an experimental rig was used to test several models of the prototype under different parameters to select one that was close to what was demanded and that can actually be built. This approach was useful to dedicate resources efficiently, specially time and money. The last part of the thesis was to propose a sustainable business model describing a go-to-market strategy that considered both the limitations of the technology and the testing performed in the scope of this project and the expectations of the market for the proposed product. The methodology was a mixed use of business tools learned in the courses and the experiences of the people who were close to the start-up. There is a final reflection at the conclusions that describe the day-to-day of the start-up and the experiences learned as well as the recommendations for future work.

Texte intégralRésumé :
L’objectif principal de cette thèse est l’étude des facteurs qui influencent le développement des éco-innovations par les entreprises françaises. Nous avons abordé cette question dans différents contextes en utilisant des données originales. Nous contribuons à la littérature empirique en nous intéressant aux aspects entrepreneurial et spatial. Les principaux résultats montrent que les instruments de la politique environnementale impactent différemment les types d’éco-innovations (les technologies de traitement des déchets, les technologies d’énergie renouvelable et les technologies d’atténuation du changement climatique) et que les éco-innovations ne sont pas toujours rentables pour les entreprises. D’où la nécessité d’adapter les instruments de politique publique de sorte à améliorer la profitabilité des éco-innovations. Après la réalisation d’une enquête auprès des start-ups françaises, les résultats de l’analyse ont montré qu'il existe une diversité de profils d'éco-innovateurs. En effet, les start-ups se regroupent en cinq principaux profils qui correspondent à différents déterminants de l'éco-innovation. Nous avons montré empiriquement que les différentes catégories d'éco-innovateurs n'ont pas les mêmes difficultés d'accès aux fonds. Ce qui nous a amené à conclure que les politiques publiques doivent être conçues en tenant compte de la spécificité de chaque profil. Nous avons également montré que la recombinaison des technologies environnementales et non environnementales et le soutien des autorités publiques aux initiatives environnementales sont les principaux facteurs qui expliquent la localisation des entreprises éco-innovantes. De plus, en appliquant l'économétrie spatiale, nous avons constaté qu'il existe une dépendance spatiale claire vis-à-vis de leur création alors que l'impact de la diffusion des connaissances est plutôt localThe main objective of this thesis is to study the factors that trigger the development of eco-innovations for the case of French firms. We have addressed this question in different contexts using original data. We contribute to the empirical literature by focusing on entrepreneurial and spatial aspects. The main results show that environmental policy instruments have a different impact on the types of eco-innovations (waste treatment, renewable energy and climate change mitigation technologies) and that eco-innovations are not always profitable for firms. Hence, it is essential to adjust public policy instruments in a way to improve the profitability of eco-innovations. After carrying out a survey on French start-ups, the results of the analysis have shown that there is a diversity of profiles of eco-innovators. Indeed, firms cluster into five main profiles and exhibit different eco-innovation drivers. We have shown empirically that the different categories of eco-innovators do not have the same difficulties in accessing funds. This led us to conclude that public policies must be designed taking into account the specificity of each profile. We have also shown that the recombination of environmental and non environmental technologies and environmental political support are the main factors explaining the location of eco-innovative firms. Moreover, by applying spatial econometrics we found that there is a clear spatial dependence on their creation while the impact of knowledge spillovers is quite local

Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of this study was to find what appropriate Management Control Systems exist that can help fast-growing start-ups to achieve a controlled and healthy growth. We also studied how the control systems can be used together, and balanced between each other. To find appropriate control systems, we conducted a literature review of important factors for implementing management control, that ended with a tentative framework of control systems. After that, we conducted a multiple case study including several fast-growing technology start-ups to see how they use the collection of control systems in our tentative control framework, and analyzed what effect they have on the organization’s activities and how they balance between them. After the case study, a cross-case analysis was conducted were differences and similarities between the cases were analyzed and related to the theoretical concepts from the literature review. This led to conclusions regarding how start-ups tend to use and balance the control systems, which in turn led to the finalized control framework for fast-growing start-ups. The framework provides a set of control systems that start-ups can use that are relevant for supporting growth and managing the most common challenges that fast-growing start-ups face. By using different levers of control, the control systems complement each other and create a dynamic tension, which increases performance. For start-ups that are in a product development phase, the balance of the control systems is mostly on growth and innovation, which supports exploration of opportunities. However, there is still a little focus on control and efficiency to keep the organization focused. For start-ups with an already developed and commercialized product, the balance of control systems is more towards the middle. The most focus is put on growth and efficiency, with a little less emphasis on innovation and control. This is a way to keep an even balance between exploration of opportunities and exploitation of current resources.

Design Thinking e Lean Startup sono due fra i più utilizzati approcci per progettare innovazione.
Il fattore di maggiore interesse è che i punti deboli dell’uno corrispondo ai punti di forza dell’altro, e viceversa . Il Design Thinking dà grande supporto per le fasi di ideazione e progettazione della soluzione innovativa, ma si riscontrano diverse lacune per le attività che coinvolgono il mercato e lo scale-up dell’innovazione; oltre alla mancanza di strumenti e metodo per individuare i potenziali clienti, ovvero i migliori interlocutori per i test, non vengono indicate le modalità con cui scalare il modello di business una volta raggiunto il product-market fit. Attraverso tale approccio si giunge ad uno o più concetti di prodotto/servizio basato/i sull’analisi di utente e contesto; si ha così un framework di costante progettazione e ri-progettazione incentrato sull’utente finale.
Il Lean Startup parte da un’iniziale idea di business e cerca il modo più veloce per validarne la desiderabilità e la sostenibilità economica. L’approccio parte da assunzioni non preliminarmente validate e non fornisce strumenti per l’elaborazione dei dati qualitativi generati dalle iterazioni, ma pone grande attenzione alle modalità con cui ottenere validazioni di mercato, anche con una versione di prodotto/servizio Early-Stage e sulle logiche di valutazione delle metriche quantitative.
L’obiettivo dell’elaborato è analizzare lo stato dell’arte dei principali modelli che integrano i due approcci e proporre una sintesi personale in un modello chiamato ValueDes, presentato e testato in un caso studio reale. Quest’ultimo viene proposto nel contesto di organizzazioni strutturate, in quanto le maggiori interessate ad individuare un metodo per far fronte all’”Innovator’s Dilemma” .

Texte intégralRésumé :
The goal of this thesis is to identify the challenges and success factors of the support system for innovative start-ups in the Czech Republic as well as to formulate recommendations for the implementation of the currently envisaged Seed fund project. The thesis covers the specifics of start-up companies and barriers for their development and puts them in relation with the current state of the Czech entrepreneurial environment and its innovation performance. Hard data as well as opinions of experts and potential investors are assessed to analyze the needs and motivations of both demand and supply sides of the venture capital market in order to provide some valuable insights which may help the support system to improve the access of entrepreneurs to external finance and boost the creation of innovative start-ups in the Czech Republic. The main suggestions introduced relate to the focus on retaining strict transparency, to the careful selection of entities evaluating the viability of projects and those providing services assisting the entrepreneurs in the preparation phase. Finally, the right setting of conditions of the Seed fund to attract both private investors and entrepreneurs will determine the success of the whole project.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis investigates the performance of business model innovation (BMI) by incumbent power utility and clean-tech start-up firms influenced by the German Energiewende. It emphasises the factors that impact BMI from a managers’ perspective, examines success factors for managers to overcome BMI challenges, and addresses contingencies to perform BMI in a more structured way. The research is driven by the German Energiewende. It has been chosen as Germany is considered one of the world’s leading markets for renewable energies and a transformation of the power sector is currently underway. Therefore, established power utility firms face severe changes, which have the characteristics of a potential disruption to their business model (BM). At the same time, new players are challenging these incumbents with new BMs. The research is underpinned by the extant literature on BMs and BMI. The research approach is based on two case studies; the incumbent power utility and the clean-tech start-up sector. The qualitative study comprises of 24 semi-structured interviews conducted with top tier managers, from 18 firms, responsible for BMI within these firms. Key findings: This study extends our knowledge of BMI in both a start-up and an incumbent environment that is influenced by various contingent events. It portrays barriers to BMI and depicts critical success factors for BMI that point out solutions on how to overcome these barriers. It provides a structured BMI framework for established firms and illustrates future BM archetypes in this sector. It clearly documents the German Energiewende is regarded as a disruptive threat from the perspective of incumbent power utility managers. The theoretical contribution of this thesis is a process framework including all identified drivers and challenges for BMI in both established and start-up firms. Contributions to practice include critical success factors for BMI, recommendations to overcome barriers to BMI and future BM archetypes within the newly evolving Energiewende industry based on sustainable technologies.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Negli ultimi anni, in seguito alla crisi economica e al fallimento di numerose imprese di piccole dimensioni, si è creato un fenomeno molto interessante per l'imprenditoria nazionale: le start up. Si intendono le nuove imprese che presentano una forte dose di innovazione e che sono configurate per crescere in modo rapido e secondo un business model scalabile e ripetibile. In questa tesi introdurrò il mondo delle start up definendo la loro struttura e spiegando come sono disciplinate in Italia. Attraverso lo studio del metodo Lean Startup spiegherò come devono essere strutturate e gestite le start up. Seguendo questo approccio analizzerò la comunicazione sia interna alla start up che esterna, cioè la comunicazione che deve essere sostenuta sia con i clienti che gli stakeholders per ottenerne la fiducia. Grazie alla collaborazione con l'ente di ricerca AREA Science Park, studierò il caso interessante di Innovation Factory, che da spin-off di AREA è diventata una start up certificata e infine un incubatore di start up certificato. Studierò nella pratica come Innovation Factory, seguendo il metodo di Bill Aulet, famoso professore del MIT e studioso di start up, è riuscita ad avere successo e quali sono state le sue strategie comunicative. Lo scopo di questa tesi è di dimostrare come una efficace comunicazione può portare la start al successo trasformando l'idea innovativa in business di mercato.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper explores the existence of a shared community involving the members, users and organisers of three collaborative work spaces located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Situated as part of an emergent global phenomenon, these spaces, despite having notable differences, share many important features and are, I argue, part of a knowledge exchanging cluster of grassroots entrepreneurialism and innovation-oriented organisations, groups and events in the Phnom Penh area. I explore this cluster as a community in two ways: firstly through the mapping of a knowledge architecture locating the spaces and their actors as nodes within a flow of relationships and activities, secondly, via a networked ethnographic inquiry tracing these flows to actors within the network through qualitative research methods. In doing so I reveal the degree to which there exists a shared community perceived by the users and organisers of these spaces as well highlighting potential opportunities for greater sharing of knowledge, ideas and experience. The paper finds that though a nascent community does exist, there is still significant variance in the levels of cognisance of this community by the different actors as well as in the approach to its engagement. Despite this, there remains, in large part, a shared set of goals and values paving the way for future community collaboration.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In the lifecycle of an innovative start-up, the natural excursus of its life embeds the connection to the external environment. The external environment feeds the innovative new venture, and the latter feeds the surrounding context by fostering innovation. The mutual influence that these entities carry out on each other is possible through the establishment and the activation of ties.
Social ties represent the tool that connect entrepreneurs to others and the tool enabling the existence of some types of interactions. In fact, entrepreneurs exploit their social ties to gain resources that they individually cannot obtain. New market opportunities, technical and strategic skills, financial resources, further networking and contracts, credibility and reputation are a series of benefits that startup entrepreneurs may receive and have access through their social networks. Leveraging personal ties (family, friends, colleagues) or inter-organizational ties enables founders to obtain what they need to make their venture grow. In this dissertation, eight innovative startups operating in the food industry in the region of Veneto are analyzed. The objective is to identify which ties have been involved by founders in the creation and development of the startup and how they contributed to innovative startups’ conformation, strategic orientation and performance from foundation to the actual condition.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Cette recherche doctorale porte sur le processus de développement de la jeune entreprise technologique (JET). Elle vise à comprendre les actions clés permettant le passage de l’invention à l’innovation et à déterminer si l’ambidextrie (i.e., l’équilibre entre exploration et exploitation) est associée à une plus grande performance. Les définitions de la JET, l’innovation, l’exploration, l’exploitation et l’ambidextrie, qui sont utilisées dans cette recherche, sont préalablement posées. Une première étude empirique, qui repose sur la cartographie de concepts en groupe, permet d’identifier trois actions comme plus particulièrement importantes et faisables pour passer du prototypage à la commercialisation : être à l’écoute des membres de l’équipe ; communiquer sur le produit en mettant en avant les fonctionnalités qui vont plaire au client ; bien comprendre quels besoins du marché le produit va combler. Une action est identifiée comme plus particulièrement importante et difficilement réalisable : anticiper le financement de la croissance en mobilisant des ressources financières à cet effet dès la création de l’entreprise. Une seconde étude empirique s’intéresse à l’ambidextrie. La littérature permet de distinguer les variables clés nécessaires à la modélisation conceptuelle du phénomène étudié. Il apparaît que l’ambidextrie est potentiellement influencée par un ensemble de facteurs organisationnels et contextuels (équipe entrepreneuriale, environnement économique et institutionnel, ressources financières) ; que l’ambidextrie est susceptible d’influencer la performance, et que la performance peut dépendre directement de certains antécédents de l’ambidextrie. Les hypothèses sont testées à partir des réponses utilisables obtenues auprès de 94 JET, sur la base d’un questionnaire envoyé à 350 entreprises. Les résultats sont les suivants : (i) la cohésion et dans une moindre mesure la complémentarité de l’équipe, le dynamisme de l’environnement et la qualité de l’accompagnement apparaissent comme les principaux antécédents de l’orientation ambidextre ; (ii) l’orientation ambidextre est associée positivement à la performance économique et (iii) les ressources financières n’ont pas d’impact sur l’orientation ambidextreThis research focuses on the development process of the young technology-based firm (YTBF). It aims to understand the key actions that facilitate the transition from invention to innovation and to determine if ambidexterity (i.e., the balance between exploration and exploitation) is associated with greater performance. To begin with, we establish the definitions of the young technology-based firm, innovation, exploration, exploitation and ambidexterity which are used in this research. A first empirical study, based on group concept mapping, identifies three actions that are particularly important and feasible for moving from prototyping to commercialization: listening to team members; communicate about the product by highlighting the features that will please the customer; understand what market needs the product will fill. Anticipating the financing of growth from the inception of the company is identified as particularly important but difficult to achieve. A second empirical study focuses on ambidexterity. We use literature to determine the key variables necessary for the conceptual modeling of ambidexterity: ambidexterity is potentially influenced by a set of organizational and contextual variables (composition of the entrepreneurial team, features of the economic and institutional environment, financial resources); ambidexterity is likely to influence performance; performance may depend directly on some antecedents of ambidexterity. These hypotheses are tested. We use 94 answers obtained from a questionnaire sent to 350 JET. The results are as follows: (i) cohesion and to a lesser extent the complementarity of the entrepreneurial team, the dynamism of the environment and the quality of the technological business incubators are the main antecedents of ambidexterity; (ii) ambidexterity is positively associated with economic performance and (iii) financial resources have no impact on ambidexterity

Texte intégralRésumé :
L'economia globale delle startup riporta risultati sempre più sorprendenti, generando quasi 3 trilioni di dollari di valore, una cifra alla pari con il PIL di un'economia del G7. Basti pensare che sette delle prime dieci società più grandi del mondo operano nel settore della tecnologia e la maggior parte di queste non esistevano fino a qualche anno fa.
Il presente lavoro desidera fornire un’overview sul fenomeno delle startup altamente innovative e sulle caratteristiche degli ecosistemi che ne favoriscono lo sviluppo. In particolare nella prima parte dell’elaborato si è analizzato cosa significhi essere un’impresa innovativa secondo la letteratura e sotto molti profili come l’innovazione del prodotto, del team, dell’organizzazione interna e della responsabilità sociale. Dopo aver analizzato nel dettaglio numerosi studi riguardo la letteratura delle startup sono arrivato alla conclusione che provare a dare un’unica definizione di questo tipo di imprese potrebbe risultare sterile e riduttivo, tuttavia ho individuato una serie di caratteristiche che è possibile ricercare all’interno di un’impresa affinchè questa si possa definire una startup innovativa.
Dopo aver analizzato il fenomeno, l’obiettivo dell’elaborato è quello di capire quali luoghi promuovono le startup e in che modo. In particolare, la volontà di approfondire gli ecosistemi imprenditoriali dell’innovazione di Tel Aviv, Silicon Valley e Tokyo non è affatto casuale. Questi cluster infatti, seppur molto diversi tra loro presentano delle caratteristiche in comune che hanno determinato il loro successo.
L’analisi di questi tre ecosistemi è guidata dalla ricerca di una risposta a tre quesiti:
a) quali sono i fattori che hanno favorito lo sviluppo globale delle imprese nate all’interno di questi cluster;
b) perché alcuni luoghi continuano a crescere mentre altri fanno ancora fatica a restare al passo con l’innovazione;
c) in che modo gli ecosistemi possono aumentare le loro possibilità di vincere nella rivoluzione globale delle startup.
Nell’ultima parte dell’elaborato, vengono messi in evidenza gli effetti generati dai cluster dell’innovazione sulla sopravvivenza e la crescita delle startup e come questo si rifletta sulla qualità della vita nei territori circostanti.

Texte intégralRésumé :
L'accumulation de gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère, produite par des activités anthropiques notamment dans le secteur de l’énergie est une des causes principales du changement climatique. Par conséquent, réaliser une véritable transition énergétique par une décarbonisation des réseaux électriques est devenue un besoin urgent pour atténuer les effets du réchauffement climatique. Dans cette transition, l’introduction des énergies renouvelables a été initiée depuis plusieurs années, principalement en raison de la participation de nouveaux acteurs à ce marché. Aujourd’hui, l’un des grands défis est de maintenir l’équilibre et la sécurité du réseau électrique en tenant compte de la diversité et de la variabilité des ressources énergétiques renouvelables connectées au réseau. L’une des approches permettant de régler ce problème et d’accroître la flexibilité du réseau électrique par ce que l’on désigne comme la Réponse à la Demande (RD). Cette thèse examine précisément ces nouvelles approches et montre l’intérêt de repenser les relations entre les différentes partie-prenantes pour faire émerger des nouveaux modèles d’affaires afin de déployer de nouvelles innovations au service de la transition énergétique. La méthodologie de recherche mise en œuvre de cette thèse consiste en une revue systématique de la littérature et une étude des données empiriques de 15 jeunes entreprises européennes du secteur de l’énergie. En conséquence, la thèse fournit à la communauté de la recherche (1) une méthode de classification pour catégoriser les différents modèles d’affaires de l’énergie (MAEs) et présente une première synthèse des MAE identifiés dans la littérature; (2) un cadre d’analyse des start-ups dans le secteur de l’énergie, complété par l’analyse de 15 start-ups de ce domaine; (3) un outil conceptuel pour l'innovation en matière de RD, appelé Canevas de Modèle d'Affaires de Réponse de Demande (CMARD), qui comprend 12 éléments interreliés. Ce canevas vise à évaluer les activités des offres de RD et à soutenir l'émergence de nouveau modèles d'affaires de RD. Ces résultats permettent de proposer un cadre analytique simplifié des pratiques existantes et peuvent également aider des entrepreneurs ou décideurs à explorer et concevoir de nouvelles offres sur le marché de la réponse à la demandeThe accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, produced by human activities in the energy sector is one of the main causes of climate change. Therefore, the decarbonization of power systems has become an urgent need the mitigate to the effects of climate change and achieve the energy transition. The share of renewable energy technologies has been increasing mainly due to the participation of new market players. Today, however, one of the great challenges is to maintain the electricity system’s balance and security despite the large amount of renewable energy resources connected to the grid. One of the approaches to deal with this issue and to increase power system flexibility is the Demand Response (DR). Moreover, scholars argue that business model innovation can act as an energy transition driver. This thesis examines business model innovations in the context of the energy transition by investigating emerging start-up business models. The implemented research methodology in this thesis consists of a systematic literature review and an investigation of empirical data of 15 European energy start-ups. As a result, the thesis provides the research community with (1) a grouping method to classify different Energy Business Models (EBMs) and an initial synthesis of the EBMs identified in the literature; (2) a framework to analyse start-ups in the energy sector, completed with the analysis of 15 energy start-ups; (3) and a conceptual tool for DR innovation, named as the Demand Response Business Model Canvas (DRBMC), which includes 12 interrelated elements. This canvas aims at evaluating DR activities and supporting the emergence of new DR business models. These results can also help entrepreneurs explore new demand response market opportunities, enabling a better understanding and providing a simplified analytic framework of existing business practices

Texte intégralRésumé :
Purpose – The purpose of this thesis was to increase the understanding of how formal and informal intellectual property may affect value generation of strategic and financial values within the nanotechnology start-up sector. Method – This study had an inductive approach through a qualitative multi-case study. The data collection was carried out through 23 interviews, including four exploratory interviews and 19 semi-structured interviews. The collected data was continuously analyzed in order to identify concepts, themes and aggregated dimensions. The collected data was analyzed through two categories, namely type of intellectual property and prioritized type of value desired. Findings – Through protecting innovations nanotechnology start-ups seek both strategic and financial values. The findings show nanotechnology start-ups seek strategic values in the form of trustworthiness through qualified recognition, ability to increase in market share, and having a competitive presence on the market. The findings further show nanotechnology start-ups seek financial values in the form of effective resource allocation, direct income from market transactions, and ability to attain investors. Furthermore, the findings suggest that for nanotechnology start-ups to effectively generate strategic and financial values it can be beneficial to combine formal and informal IP where a combination of trade secrets and patents can be valuable. Theoretical contributions – The analysis resulted in a grounded theory articulation in the form of a conceptual framework describing the relationships between the type of IP and how it may affect value generation for nanotechnology start-ups. This study adds to previous research that aspects fulfilling market demands can be effectively protected by patents, and aspects difficult to reverse engineer can be effectively protected by trade secrets in order to generate strategic and financial value. This study also adds to theory by identifying enablers describing how nanotechnology start-ups can generate strategic and financial values, and which type of IP is associated with each enabler. Practical implications – This study provide managers within the nanotechnology start-up sector with a framework suggesting how to generate different values from protecting innovations. The study further concludes that there are six important aspects to consider in creating effective IP strategies within the nanotechnology start-up sector. These aspects include; mapping the technological environment and the commercial market, determining which actual strategic and financial values are important for the start-up, protecting different aspects of an innovation with different types of IP, having trade secrets on aspects of an innovation that are hard to reverse engineer, to formally protect aspects of an innovation that fulfills market demand, and making a plan for how the rights attained can generate value.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Le succès du modèle d’innovation américain pour faire émerger des firmes leaders dans plusieurs domaines a largement influencé de nombreuses transformations réglementaires concernant les Droits de Propriété Intellectuelle (DPI) et le financement par les marchés en Europe. Cette thèse vise à analyser le rôle et l’importance de ces transformations dans l’organisation et la performance des firmes du logiciel. Nous montrons que des multiples mutations réglementaires des DPI ont ouvert la voie à un certain type de brevetabilité « très restreint » du logiciel en Europe. En parallèle, les évolutions dans le domaine financier ont favorisé l’émergence des marchés financiers dont le rôle est de plus en plus déterminant dans la croissance et le développement des jeunes firmes innovantes. De plus, il semblerait que l’usage stratégique du brevet soit complémentaire avec le financement par le marché de firmes du logiciel. Nous étudions cette complémentarité à travers l’analyse de la valeur du brevet en tant que signal pour les investisseurs lors de l’introduction en bourse ainsi que son effet sur la survie des firmes du logiciel après leur cotation. Cette complémentarité expliquerait en partie le recours accru au brevet dans un secteur dans lequel il est très controversé. Elle renvoie à un processus de sélection particulier du système et à l’émergence d’acteurs gagnants et perdantsThe success of the US innovation model to help start-ups emerge as global leaders has greatly influenced many regulatory changes on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and the external finance of firms in Europe. This study aims to analyze the role and importance of these changes in the organization and performance of software firms. We show that multiple regulatory mutations of IPR have paved the way for some kind of “restricted” patentability of software in Europe. In parallel, via changes in financial markets, they play an increasing role in the growth and development of young innovative companies. In addition, it seems that the strategic use of patents is complementary with software firms’ access to capital markets. We study this complementarity by analyzing the value of patents as signals for IPO markets and their impact in the likelihood of survival of newly-listed companies. We argue that this complementarity may explain the increased importance of patents in a sector where patents are highly controversial. It refers to a particular market selection process and the appearance of winning and losing actors
