“…Esta situación es semejante a la encontrada a nivel mundial, en donde solo el 18% de las pymes o inventores individuales solicitan una patente: 72% son grandes empresas, 10% universidades y organizaciones públicas (European Patent Office, 2020). Las patentes en las empresas, según Jin et al (2020) se relacionan con el nivel de educación de los empleados y con la proporción de profesionales de la ingeniería, teniendo en cuenta que este tipo de profesionales prestan más atención a la Investigación y Desarrollo junto con la innovación tecnológica de las empresas, proporcionando servicios profesionales con valor agregado. De esta manera mejora la capacidad de innovación de las empresas, lo que permite que puedan sobrevivir en el mercado, ir más allá de sus capacidades y resistir a las amenazas del entorno.…”

Construir economías más inclusivas a nivel mundial y nacional es un objetivo alcanzable siempre que se proteja la igualdad de género en los campos de la educación, la salud, la política y todas las formas de participación económica. Ningún país ha resuelto el desafío de la igualdad de género, aún si la participación de las mujeres en las redes empresariales representa un motor de crecimiento económico. En este artículo exploramos el tema de la brecha de género desde una perspectiva de ecosistemas emprendedores, dentro de los cuales cobra especial importancia la intersección entre los sectores disciplinarios STEM y el emprendimiento. La desigualdad educativa, que ve a las mujeres subrepresentadas en los sectores más propulsores de la innovación, tiene un impacto negativo en productividad, economía y bienestar, así como en la creación de startups. Para realizar un análisis de las nuevas empresas femeninas en la región Campania, en Italia, creamos una base de datos utilizando el procedimiento de web scraping. La originalidad de la investigación radica en su enfoque territorial y en la comparación de la región Campania con la situación nacional y global. El trabajo representa una invitación a repensar las medidas institucionales y de formación para cerrar la brecha en el ámbito económico.

“…However, in Brazil, digital practices start to be implemented in large cities and then spread in small and medium urban centers (Cunha, Przeybilovicz et al 2016 ). In addition, the training of managers has a very important role in this scenario, and they are responsible for directing their teams towards innovation (Jin, Zheng et al 2020 ). They are the key to the success of digital transformation.…”

In early March, the newspapers reported the arrival of the Coronavirus in Brazil. The period of confinement directly affected our routines and transformed our consumption habits. Amidst the fear of contagion and uncertainty, people isolated themselves and postponed changes. Previous studies indicate that digital practices were accelerated after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitating communication and improving the performance of various sectors of the economy. Thus, to better understand the behavior of Brazilian real estate market professionals in this period, the objective of this research was to verify whether the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the process of perception of digitalization in real estate websites. To this end, five experts in the digital real estate market were interviewed, asked what are the main items that a quality real estate website should have to improve user experience. Based on the items selected by the experts, a questionnaire was developed and a question was constructed for each item. The questionnaire was sent online to 2144 realtors, asking about the importance of these items before and after the pandemic started. Using a 5-point Likert scale, and strict criteria for analysis, our survey yielded 423 valid responses. The results indicate that regardless of the groups analyzed, the hypotheses confirm that after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the perception of the importance of digital technology in Brazilian real estate websites was enhanced, increased. Managers took advantage of the pandemic and the availability of digital technology to offer specialized service to customers, thus creating a new competitive scenario. The tools associated with the visualization of the property and information such as ‘360°/Video Tour’, ‘Video Visit Broadcast’, ‘Chatbots’ and ‘FAQ List’ had the greatest increase in perception.

“…But again, there is evidence of the replacement of CEOs, which seemed to have no well in the eyes of the founder entrepreneurs. While Jin et al (2021) showed that VC-backed firms are more successful owing to VC firms' entrepreneurial skills, motivations, and strategy. While entrepreneurs yearn for most strategic value-added assistance, especially in the form of financial support and networking advice given by VC investors, again they are unclear about guidance regarding inner organisation problems.…”

For more than three decades, private venture capital (VC) firms have been recognised for their pivotal role in advancing valuecreation and innovation in high-growth enterprises. Recent studies have found VC as a viable driver for the economic growth of developed nations. Research shows that many technological global companies today started as small venture capital (VC) funded companies. However, less evidence is available in emerging economies to support value creation and innovation capacity provided by the VC companies in Uganda. Consequently, how and when venture capitalists (VCs) can give significant oversight and add value to their ventures beyond VC funding has remained unresolved. Therefore, we use survey data from 77 VC firms expounded by interview data from key respondents from the VC industry. Our study finds that VCs' role is essential for nurturing value-added skills in VC-financed firms. Evidence was predictable in improved financial management, sales turnover, profitability, strategic planning, innovation capacity, recruitment, sound BOD, and a broad network for future funding opportunities. Our study contributes to the under-studied space of VC performance, especially in Uganda, where there is limited academic literature in this field. These results may support entrepreneurs/governments to engage in lucrative partnerships with experienced VC firms that can bridge the SMEs' equity financing gap early. Finally, this study offers a foundation for future research direction.
