The creation of a new venture is at the heart of entrepreneurship. Chinese governments at different levels are proactive in promoting the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) and fostering new venture creation (NVC). However, it is still far from clear how governments as focal actors in the EE affect and regulate the process and pattern of NVC. This study borrows from the theory of temporary organization and conducts a comparative case study of two entrepreneurial projects in the Hangzhou Dream Town EE. This study proposes an integrated conceptual framework to illustrate NVC in two dimensions of projectification (the process of NVC) and partnering (a pattern of NVC) and specifies that the main role of local governments is as a sponsor, feeder, and endorser in that order. The three functional roles enable local governments to catalyze the creation of new ventures through projectification and partnering. Our study not only contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship, governance theory, and the theory of temporary organization but also provides an actionable approach for governments to foster new ventures, especially in transition economics such as China.
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen generation mini-plant is widely used in all various hospitals for its fast, convenient, and cost-effective features. However, considering the landscape of global markets, the PSA medical oxygen generation mini-plant design basis varies from location to location. Therefore, it forces the manufacturer to design and build the PSA oxygen generation mini-plant more flexibly to enable its compatibility in different extreme ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, pressure, cleanliness) of installation location. For the sake of these concerns, this paper employs the concept of modularity as an approach to PSA medical-grade oxygen generation mini-plant design and application and elaborates 10 key components for 4 modules of PSA medical-grade oxygen generation mini-plant, namely (a) air compressor module; (b) PSA module; (c) oxygen compressor module; (d) smart control module. Under this modularized design approach, this paper investigates the technical features and the design criticality of modular and key components in fulfilling the expected performance, finally achieving and maintaining the overall performance of PSA oxygen generation mini-plant with the selected modules which may be installed worldwide. This paper helps to highlight the variability of PSA oxygen generation mini-plants in harsh environments in four dimensions (temperature, humidity, pressure, cleanliness) and briefs the methodology of the phase gate model for modular approach in oxygen generation mini-plant. It contributes to the literature on this important subject in the modularized design method, adsorption technology, air separation process, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
