“…Promoting entrepreneurship is one of the best ways for a nation to improve its economy and attract foreign investments that can earn huge rewards in the future (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000). The number of start-ups in India has become bigger over the past few years and has contributed greatly towards the country's growth (Dinesh & Sushil, 2019). There have been praiseworthy improvements in India towards entrepreneurship, which have encouraged activities of entrepreneurship among graduates to become entrepreneurs and launch their own start-ups with the support of government and financial aid.…”

“…For the past decade, India has witnessed a substantial rise in start-ups spanning across a wide range of sectors, such as technology, health care, travel, food, lifestyle, ecommerce, fashion, payments, marketing, health and wellness and social impact. While India has especially excelled in entrepreneurial activities related to software exporting and other information technology-enabled service start-ups, there have been numerous failures too (Dinesh & Sushil, 2019). In the current fast-paced digital era, the market is driven by innovation; thus, start-up firms must move towards sustainable innovations (Alenina et al, 2016), which brings us to the need to have strong leadership that can steer creativity and innovation in the workplace.…”

This study investigates the effect of authentic leadership (AL) on employee creativity and the mediating role of work engagement (WE) and employee task proactivity (ETP) in the context of start-ups. Data collected from 300 leaders and 300 employees of Indian start-ups were analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings suggest that AL has direct and significant effects on creativity and the same is mediated by WE and ETP. For a start-up, it is essential that employees perceive their founders or leaders to have high moral perspective, clear sense of self-awareness and exhibit transparency in their behaviours with their followers. Such behaviours motivate the followers to invest soulfully in their work and do things in a proactive manner, which then leads to creativity. For any start-up to succeed, both a strong form of positive leadership and high levels of creativity from employees are required.

“…Existing knowledge, creativity, and technical resources are essential drivers of the successful performance of any M&A (Darroch, 2005; Dhir et al, 2019). The technical ability of an organization supports new product development and innovative business performance (Dinesh & Sushil, 2019; Zhou & Wu, 2010). Organizations with less investment in technological infrastructure and research and development (R&D) are less innovative (Soderquist, Chanaron, & Motwani, 1997).…”

This study investigates the factors affecting Bharti Airtel's cross-border postacquisition performance in an African market. This study describes the relationships among various factors such as technical capability, affiliated firm's absorptive capacity, and organizational learning capabilities, which determine the successful operations of the Zain acquisition deal in South Africa. This paper adopts a qualitative approach to identify factors that influence the postacquisition performance. Seven factors are identified based on the literature. Consequently, it has become a necessity to encapsulate these factors in suitable proportions. In this study, we have developed a total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) to analyze the postacquisition performance of Bharti Airtel in South Africa. Our research has highlighted six dynamic factors (organizational learning capability, knowledge management, technology capability, technology relatedness, acquirer's absorptive capacity, and national culture difference) that affect the firm's postacquisition performance. The interpretive structural model (ISM) and total interpretive structural model for postacquisition performance are built-up. The developed TISM will support academics and practitioners to develop their understanding of acquisition performance of parent companies in the context of telecom business in the South African market.

The startup business ecosystem in India has experienced exponential growth. The amount of investment in Indian startups in the last decade demonstrates the strong interest of the technology industry to these business models based on innovation. In this context, the present study aims to identify investment opportunities for investors in Indian startups by identifying key indicators that characterize the startup ecosystem in India. To this end, a three steps data mining method is developed using data mining techniques. First, a sentiment analysis (SA), a machine learning approach that classifies the topics into groups expressing feelings, is applied to a dataset. Next, we develop a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model, a topic-modeling technique that divides the sample of n = 14.531 tweets from Twitter into topics, using user-generated content (UGC) as data. Finally, in order to identify the characteristics of each topic we apply textual analysis (TA) to identify key indicators. The originality of the present study lies in the methodological process used for data analysis. Our results also contribute to the literature on startups. The results demonstrate that the Indian startup ecosystem is influenced by areas such as fintech, innovation, crowdfunding, hardware, funds, competition, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and electronic commerce. Of note, in view of the exploratory approach of the present study, the results and implications should be taken as descriptive, rather than determining for future investments in the Indian startup ecosystem.
