While entrepreneurship researchers agree that institutions 'matter' for entrepreneurship, they also have a rather encompassing understanding of as almost any external factor influences entrepreneurship. Ultimately, this literature thus comes up with long list institutional factors may explain entrepreneurial differences between countries. But which are most influential? How do these relate to different types entrepreneurship? And what extent complementary each other in the way sustain types?...
The advent of online platforms has been considered to be one the most significant economic changes last decade, with their emergence reflecting a longer trend increasing contingent work, labor market flexibility, and outsourcing work independent contractors. In this article, we conceptualize so‐called gig economy along four dimensions, namely, intermediation, contractors, paid tasks, personal services. Using framework, it is possible derive both narrow definition economy, as ex ante...
While online platforms were initially applauded for improving services in a range of sectors, they are currently being criticized ignoring laws and regulations. We analyse the evolution Helpling – largest domestic cleaning platform company Europe by focusing on ways that has adapted its to regulations five national contexts (France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands United Kingdom). Using data changing Terms Conditions, we show tried introduce single business model across Europe, but quickly...
In early phases of the software cycle, requirements prioritization necessarily relies on specified and predictions benefit cost individual requirements. This paper presents results a systematic review literature, which investigates how existing methods approach problem based cost. From this review, it derives set under-researched issues warrant future efforts sketches an agenda for research in area.
The empirical relationship between educational attainment and pay levels has been widely acknowledged in the labour-economic labour-sociology literatures. While causalities underlying this are not conclusively established, researchers broadly agree that higher leads to income dependent employment, temporary hiring, freelancing alike. 'gig economy', where workers complete jobs mediated by online platforms, challenges paradigm as gig can access without any certificates. Building a theoretical...
Research into the link between national institutions and entrepreneurship is characterized by three shortcomings: First, clear-cut concepts of are rare. Second, a parsimonious understanding how few core influence missing. Third, scholars often ignore that incrementally innovative ventures constitute distinct (and under-researched) type next to (over-researched) form radically innovative, high-growth or high-tech entrepreneurship. By addressing these shortcomings, Varieties-of-Capitalism...
Requirements prioritization is an essential mechanism of agile software development approaches. It maximizes the value delivered to clients and accommodates changing requirements. This paper presents results exploratory cross-case study on business delivery processes in eight organizations. We found that some explicit fundamental assumptions requirement approaches, as described literature best practices, do not hold all project contexts our study. These are (i) driving role client creation...
Research on open innovation (OI) has demonstrated the benefits of openness for firm processes, but studies have mostly offered cross-sectional insights incumbent firms. This study offers a more dynamic perspective relevance OI nascent ventures. Combining entrepreneurship and theories, we argue that it is key resource-scarce ventures to achieve critical venture-creation milestones. While can help these leverage salient external partnerships, affects their speed reaching We test our hypotheses...
Continuous customer-centric requirements reprioritization is essential in successfully performing agile software development. Yet, the RE literature, very little known about how happens practice. Generic conceptual models this process are missing, which turn, makes it difficult for both practitioners and researchers to reason decision-making at inter-iteration time. This paper presents a Grounded Theory study on prioritization methods yield model understanding terms of inputs outcomes. The...
While entrepreneurship research theorizing about the team formation in start-up ventures exists, such studies mostly focus on different outcomes of formation, for example number employees. Questions how processes unfold and factors, as labor-market institutions, influencing their evolvement remain unanswered. To address this gap, we analyze venture creation 344 Germany USA, offering particularly typical examples countries with regulated deregulated institutions respectively. Based optimal...
Abstract With the emergence of online gig economy, computer-based jobs can be completed by workers around world. This raises question whether labour market for gigs is truly boundless as distance no longer matters. Based on gravity models, we investigate effect geographical, institutional and cultural almost 30 000 platform hirings between 26 European countries. While find that platforms are used to off-shore work from high- low-wage countries, economy not still preferably hired...
Recognizing that the institutional design of EMU leads to co-ordination national wage-bargaining structures, this article asks why bargaining systems in some Member States have become co-ordinated and centralized, whereas others decentralized. In contrast neoliberal theory, it is argued different levels are best explained by a country's competitive advantage: whilst countries with advantage high-quality manufacturing favour centralized system which supports high-skill strategy, low-cost...
This article aims at illustrating the circumstances in which Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and its ramifications, fs/QCA MVQCA, become particularly useful tools of analysis. To this end, we discuss most pertinent problem researchers encounter when using QCA: contradicting observations. In QCA analysis, contradictions arise from sheer number cases dichotomisation. order to handle contradictions, method for analysing middle‐sized‐N situations should therefore be chosen according two...
In early phases of the software development process, requirements prioritization necessarily relies on specified and predictions benefit cost individual requirements. This paper induces a conceptual model based cost. For this purpose, it uses Grounded Theory. We provide detailed account procedures rationale (i) how we obtained our results (ii) used them to form basis for framework classifying methods.
Existing requirements elicitation approaches have proven insufficient to record complete, consistent, and correct requirements. Studies conducted shown that 40% of defects in software projects are due incorrect recorded Therefore, some innovative been developed deal with the lack addressing above-mentioned issues including video-based methods. Recent using Storytelling elicit started emerge field requirement engineering. However, few experiences investigate which elements technique needed...
Isolating pure microbial cultures and cultivating them in the laboratory on defined media is used to more fully characterize metabolism physiology of organisms. However, identifying an appropriate growth medium for a novel isolate remains challenging task. Even organisms with sequenced annotated genomes can be difficult grow, despite our ability build genome-scale metabolic networks that connect genomic data function. The scientific literature scattered information about successfully wide...
We conceptualize the gig economy along four dimensions: online intermediation, independent contractors, paid tasks, and personal services. From our framework, one can derive both a narrow definition of as ex ante specified, tasks carried out by contractors mediated platforms, broader definitions that include offline next to employees unpaid asset sharing performing gigs. The dimensions also span key regulatory questions: how should platforms be classified regulated, workers what count work,...
