What are the business success factors of fast-growing startups rapidly building their manufacturing potential, conquering new markets, effectively occupying new market niches, achieving spectacular financial results, etc. basing their success on technological innovations?
One of the important factors in the business success of fast-growing startups basing their success on technological innovations is the efficient and cost-effective implementation of specific new technologies into the manufacturing, business and other processes realized in companies, enterprises and other business entities. However, in addition to the issue of efficient and economically effective implementation of specific new technologies into the business activities of companies and enterprises, there are many other important factors for the business success of fast-growing startups rapidly building their manufacturing potential, conquering new markets, effectively occupying new market niches, achieving spectacular financial results, etc. that base their success on technological innovations. Such factors include, among others, management efficiency and flexibility in adapting the business entity to the changing conditions of the economic, market, competitive environment, etc. The availability of various, convenient forms of external financing for the startup's current and investment activities; more or less favorable towards startups and other business entities of the SME sector economic policy shaped by the government; the activities of chambers of commerce, public institutions, non-governmental organizations supporting the development of innovation and entrepreneurship of companies and enterprises at an early stage of development; opportunities to join business organizations, cooperatives, clusters or other forms of cooperation involving mutual support of various developing business entities and institutions, etc.

How can we improve the country's ranking in the Global Innovation Index?
Relevant answer
Answer
Why would you want to improve a country's ranking in the Global Innovation Index?
Why not to improve the innovation performance of a country, especially the favourable socio-economic impacts of innovation?
Considering any ranking can be easily misleading. It is more pertinent, more useful to have a good understanding of the national innovation system of a country (and depending on the country, also the regional and sectoral innovation systems inside that country).
For the pitfalls of GII (and the European Innovation Scoreboard), and more generally, that of composite indicators, see, e.g.

What is Global Innovation Index?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Alwielland,
The Global Innovation Index (GII) is an annual report published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in collaboration with other organizations such as Cornell University and INSEAD. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the innovation capabilities and performance of countries around the world.
It consists of inputs as well as outputs which are classified into 7 seven pillars.
At the end of the day, each country takes its value (score) in the normalized Global Innovation Index. Also, you can find (in annual reports) the ranking of countries based on their scores.

Due to the progressing global warming process, the issue of necessary ecological reforms should be one of the most important issues shaping the processes of globalization in the 21st century.
Will ecology become one of the key aspects of globalization in the 21st century?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much
Best wishes
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, ecology will become one of the key aspects of globalization in the 21st century. Globalization has facilitated the rapid growth of international trade and investment, along with an increase in the movement of people, goods and services across borders. As a result, the global environment is becoming increasingly interconnected, with human activities having an increasingly significant impact on ecosystems and climate. In this context, ecology will become increasingly important as businesses, governments and citizens seek to understand and mitigate the environmental effects of their activities. This will require a comprehensive approach to environmental management, including the development of new tools, mechanisms and technologies to reduce environmental impacts and increase resource efficiency. It will also mean engaging in ecological research, education and public awareness initiatives to ensure that ecological issues are taken into consideration in the decision-making process. Finally, it will involve the development of international agreements and regulations to ensure that environmental concerns are adequately addressed.

In which direction will the current crises, i.e. the post-pandemic economic crisis triggered by high inflation, the energy crisis, the developing food crisis in some countries and the developing global climate crisis in the long term, change the globalisation processes in the 21st century?
Both the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 and the lockdown and quarantine crisis of 2020 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the disrupted international supply and supply logistics chains and the supply problems of semiconductor-based microprocessors have seriously impeded the development of economic globalisation processes.

Answer
globalization during the two crises certainly had a serious blow, much more during the coronavirus crisis. But I think that these changes due to the crises were only cyclical and could not be a decisive factor for any structural change, because of the omni-present effect of the complex interdependence that characterizes state interactions. There is almost no product today that is manufactured end to end by a single country. The globalization of the post-corona period will be more an increased interdependence than a radical change in working mode or withdrawal from oneself. The vaccines, the masks, the media kits distributed all over the world during the entire period of the crisis were the fruit of this interdependence.

Can the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship be an important factor in defending the domestic economy against the forecasted, progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy in 2019?
Does the activation of economic processes through the development of pro-development innovation policy programs, activation of innovation and entrepreneurship can be an important factor in defending the national economy against a progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy and against the risk of a recession in the domestic economy that could occur through cross-border trade and international capital flows?
The importance of this question is important especially for countries with an open economy with a large share of cross-border trade and the growing share of globalization processes. In addition, this question is valid in the context of the projected slowdown in economic growth in many countries in 2019.

Answer
Dear Phil Barbonis,
I'm in a hurry to answer. Well, the above-mentioned chambers of commerce are created by entrepreneurs running companies and enterprises operating within specific industries and sectors of the economy. In chambers of commerce, entrepreneurs are associated in order to jointly work out solutions to specific economic problems, develop new solutions and innovations, develop ways and methods of more effective implementation of innovations and ways of solving economic problems, and then submit these proposals to parliamentary circles, parliamentary teams of politicians and experts lobbying specific solutions. This is how a large part of the national and regional chambers of commerce in the country in which I operate operate. In individual countries, there are different chambers of commerce, they have different statutory goals, and have different functions and organizational culture. Maybe this results in a different interpretation of the role and importance of chambers of commerce in my and your statements.

Are open innovations in the scope of free information services the main factor of business success of the largest online technology companies, which include such concerns as Google and social media portals like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tweeter, LinkedIn and others?
The open innovations developed on the Internet concern, among others, free information and marketing services. The issue of the possibility of publishing certain content, texts, banners, comments, etc. on the Internet and free information gathering are the key determinants of the development of information services on the Internet. On the other hand, the largest online technology corporations receive revenues mainly from paid marketing services. The Internet environment is therefore a kind of a mix of free and paid information and marketing services, which simultaneously, simultaneously and simultaneously in a mutually connected way are developed by various Internet companies.

Answer
Dear Juliana,
Unfortunately, my answer is rather suggestive than a problem-solver one as I am not an expert in the mentioned field. However, seeing empty discussion motivated me to share some basic ideas that came into my mind. If you have such a narrow research interest, expert interviews are really important to implement a method to study certain phenomena. My recommendations are as follows:
  1. Try to use alternative or synonyms to expand and to enhance the literature review. Presumably, frugal health care systems depend on certain pre-conditions like innovations and government policies. So, you can adjust your research question or literature review directions to more expanded horizons because otherwise simply you can not start and finish the research;
  2. In my opinion, you can benefit from the agents who provide frugal health care. Instead of an interview, you can also conduct an evaluation via surveys on the limited sample size. I am sure there are available methodologies that allow an analysis of the small sample quantitative and qualitative data.
  3. Moreover, there are actors and players behind the scenes related to frugal health care systems in the developed markets. Maybe, you should look for them.
  4. Maybe there are some mediators, they are not directly involved but they can help to track some things.
  5. Always collect and survey the professors' and colleagues' opinions and ideas.
  6. Find dissertations or theses that at least indirectly addressed the topic you are interested to get a general framework of your study.
Best Regards,
Ibrahim

Innovation itself is not easy to measure but innovation in research, implementation and investment projects is measured instrumentally. The simplest method in the absence of advanced measurement models is the development of a scoring system based on the diagnosed determinants of innovation, for which point scales are created. In this way, innovation, i.e. a qualitative concept, acquires a quantitative dimension and can be quantified. The indicated quantitative dimension can be used to evaluate innovation as a subject of the transaction and a key factor of production in innovative startups and technology companies in which research works are carried out and new innovative technological, process, product and other solutions are created.

This view has been mainstream in management theory and practice for decades, yet it is being increasingly challenged from many sides. This research line aims at taking stock of recent developments in cognitive sciences, economics, sociology, philosophy, organization studies, and corporate responsibility that point to the manifold ways in which ethics and business are actually embedded. Building on this, it is our purpose to delve into the question, how ethics is driving innovation in every aspects of business, including strategy, organizational design, product, decision making processes, and culture".

Nations of the world vary in their technological capabilities as they do in other measures of development. these nations can be classified into multiple Technology clubs, such as highly advanced or innovative nations that still create most of the innovations in the global innovation network, then there are those who are good at acquisition and adaptation of innovations originated elsewhere, these nations innovation systems are developing fast. and then there are those who show no signs of active convergence towards becoming an innovation driven economy. The first and second types have innovation systems and thus innovation policies at varying degree of effectiveness. while the third type are passive learners being dragged behind the global innovation train only growing with whatever trickles down, from the global innovation and production system, or serendipitous creative repairs type adaptation.
Effectiveness of institutions and policies is necessary for existence and performance of innovation systems, which are in essence, intentional and created systems not occurring in normal capitalist market mechanisms. thus these technology clubs must also be divided along the policy lines. Whether innovation policy institutions exist and how effective they are, might be a determinant of technological capabilities development.
what would be the measures of effectiveness of innovation policies? Output measures as well as input and throughput measures. What is the bare minimum threshold of effective technology/innovation policy? What policy guidelines should be suitable for such passive learning economies to escape their technology lock-in state?

Answer
In addition to the above answers I am just adding a few points:-
Innovation often serves as a signal (signalling theory, legitimacy indicator)to larger corporates/venture capitalists. Since smaller firms have a paucity of resources and/or access to capital (since they have less options of showing credit worthiness, as in the case of start-up's. An alternative proposition may be to show 'promise' in the form of innovation (ideas) : as in the case of facebook, apple etcetera). A positive signal might help smaller businesses gain access to capital, access to other firms networks, or support from larger entities.
Innovation may also help get alliance/joint venture opportunities : Sometimes in the case of such JV's when the smaller firm cannot pump equity capital; the larger firm might just buy a proportionate part of the smaller firm. (When some smaller businesses don't want to get acquired or sell their business)
Innovation might help create an initial value for the firm and then, a larger firm may be interested to acquire it (at a premium). This benefits the innovator who uses (his) smaller firm as a conduit or channel to sell his idea/innovation. So the 'business' benefits by an ignition of an idea by the innovator and later gets incubated by the larger firm (if it is capable of absorbing the tacit and explicit technology) {or, it can buy the innovators idea and instate someone competent/original innovator to run the business}
Effectual thinking (choosing path and then the goal emerges)/accidental discovery or innovation (acknowledgement of something useful during ex-post analysis of that unintended event is also a type of innovation. Penicillin was discovered by accident; So if such an accident occurs at a small SME/firm and it is competent to recognize that some 'generated' resource has a potential worth it might help change course.
An innovation can be a static (discovery; innovation in product) goal  or a (continual or continuous) process (Lindbloom (1959) stated that a continuous nibbling is better than a big bite// commitment to innovation might help find new opportunities or improve current business.
These were just some points that came up..

Based on a large corpus of literature (e.g. Edgar M. Hoover, Frank Giarratani, Erik Dahmen, Stan Czamanski to name just a few), we can argue that industrial cluster is an a-spatial (a-territorial) phenomenon. Yet there are as many publications that prove the opposite. What do you think? Please provide your own judgment.

Answer
I very agree with last opinion. I can add, that in our research driven in last 10 years in Polish Industry System, I see significant meaning this two different tracjectories in well- and low-developed countries. In first group, spatial proximity plays important role for innovation activity. For second group, more important is technological proximity. It seems, that in less-developed countries spatial and technology proximity work opposite way - closest means lack of knowledge. It's much different as in well-developed countries.

Do you think this research question make sense for master thesis.
Relevant answer
Answer
This is a wide topic. It is valid for a thesis. I expect the answer to be more complex than you think as additive manufacturing not only influences the location of production, but also allows different product design solutions. For example, Lego is investigating how printed dies allow faster cooling as they have more complex internal structures.

With the public available patent data, there exists an exciting source of raw data around innovation activities. We want to go a step further and are continuously looking for further, innovation-related open data, like technology transfer deals or M&A activities in high-tech industries. Besides these raw datasets, we are looking for ontologies or common vocabularies which help us to better integrate and analyze the relevant data sources. Any suggestions are highly welcome!

Brazil has two big companies into perfumery: O Boticário and Natura. They are mainly in the domestic market due to their business models. O Boticario has its own stores for perfumes, hygiene and beauty products. Natura uses a direct sales business models (similar to Avon's).
Both companies make their own products with local imputs and fragrancies (jungle and tropical fruits and plants).

Answer
Here are a few strategies that work in innovation:
Look to people/ideas completely outside the industry.
Deliberately employ people "not like yourself" - they think differently to you.
Listen AND act on what the emerging market wants from both you and for themselves.
Do not be restricted by current paradigm. Let innovation start without the baggage of current infrastructure and business models.
Be prepared to accept that the right way forward may be to spin off a new start-up approach with a different business model ; a large company is almost never capable of changing sufficiently from within. If the spinoff succeeds in a broad general sense (like the budget airline model for example), prepare for the wind down of the old company (or division) - far better to realize the assets in a planned manner and reinvest/reuse in the new model.
