“…Technology-based companies play an important role in the economic and social development of a country, contributing to innovations in products with high market potential, creating skilled jobs, stimulating the process of science and technology, and strengthening relations between various economic agencies and sectors (Lima, 2005;Moraes et al, 2010). These companies use innovative technologies, can have a high proportion of spending on research and development, employ a high proportion of technical-scientific and engineering personnel, and serve specific markets that probably would not otherwise be served (Ajagbe et al, 2012).…”

“…Costa (2005) points out that the area of Science and Tech-based companies are industrial firms employing 100 to 499 employees, or commercial and service companies with 50 to 99 employees, which are characterized by systematic use of techno-scientific knowledge and committed to the design, development, and production of new products and/ or processes (Moraes et al, 2010). Mendes, Mecenas, and Toledo (2004) conclude that, in Brazil, these firms are heavily concentrated in four economic sectors: medical equipment and instruments and precision automation, information technology, electronics and communication, and the chemical industry.…”

“…Spencer (2003) explains that the characteristics of technology-based SME products are narrow scope of use, short life cycle, high development cost, rapid obsolescence, small domestic market demand, and low sales volume, market, and global competition. An important feature for these companies is high vulnerability to changes in the environment in which they operate and, therefore, an increased need for adaptability to such changes (Moraes et al, 2010). This is primarily because of high resource constraints (financial, personnel, etc.)…”

This work aims at providing a better understanding of the relations of venture capital agents with entrepreneurs of small-and medium-sized technology-based firms by studying their expectations. The study used qualitative, multiple-case research method, predominantly following the precepts of Eisenhardt (1989). Data collection was done through analysis of documents and semi-structured in-depth interviews with FINEP and São Paulo Angels (SPA) agents. Data analysis followed intra-and inter-case steps (Miles and Huberman, 1994). The results indicate that FINEP agents' expectations for entrepreneurs who benefit from venture capital are compliance with deadlines established, development of the items specified in the approved project (prototype, product, etc.), generation of innovations that benefit society, and development of business management knowledge and practice. SPA agents' expectations are that entrepreneurs have high motivation and passion in relation to the business, work ethically and according to the law, and maintain a very good relationship with SPA agents to achieve solid results.

The purpose of this research paper is to investigating ereadiness of the students in the affiliate Institutions of the Royal Commission in Jubail, and whether their experience in using ICTs influences their judgement towards ICTs, and whether their judgement and experience toward ICTs influence their use of ICTs or not. Survey methodology is facilitated through the use of the questionnaires. Survey domain is a random sampling of studentsin Institutions of the Royal Commission of Jubail. With a 95% confidence level of a possible sample frame of 669, the study sampled 1032 respondents (15%). Results showed that students'judgement towards ICTs is highly positive, which reflect their e-readiness and willingness to use ICTs, but the analysis showed that the experience with ICTs did not significantly predict students'judgement about ICTs use. It was discovered that the following set of ICTs requires the most attention in the future adoption planning by the Royal Commission for its three affiliate Higher education institutions (HEIs): "Blackboard", "smart devices", "e-bulletin boards", and "e-materials". This set of ICTs receives the least scores of use and experience responses from study participants.The result of this study provides valuable insights into students' e-readiness. This information may be used to develop and support factors that enhance strategies for adopting ICTs by students.
