Opportunities for Digital Entrepreneurship According to the Indices -- Natali...Natalie Novick
Technological change and lower barriers for entrepreneurship have transformed opportunities for doing business in Europe, creating a bright spot at a time of great political uncertainty. Across the continent, each country and region offers varying packages of costs, risks and opportunities for the entrepreneur, including policy incentives, startup support, human capital and cultural advantages. However, it remains challenging for policymakers and entrepreneurs to compare these qualities against one another. Scholars of public policy and business have sought to address this difficulty by developing a number of indices to make these evaluations more transparent. What can these indices tell us about business opportunities and challenges across European states and regions? Why and how do these indices come to different conclusions about the countries and regions they find the most promising? This work examines and compares these indices, and investigates their considerable differences in measurement, methodology and validity. I show that many of these indices take an individualized approach in framing opportunities for entrepreneurship, creating a number of implications for the final assessment. Despite utilizing different indicators and measurements, many of the variables chosen are often related to one another and can be explained by shared phenomena. This assessment of the existing literature allows us to assess how these measurement tools have been used, and how they can be refined in the future.
An overview of the current state of research in this field allows us to learn from the innovative ideas that have been developed so far and to discuss the next steps to be taken.

e absent in Arab states for many reasons. To
promote innovation in Saudi Arabia, for instance, it is necessary to support inventors’ ideas to turn
inventions into start-up companies, which are companies in their early stage. At the same time, it seems
that there is a need for more academic research to study the success factors of Saudi information and
communication technology (ICT) start-up companies. ICT start-ups are important to the economy because
they are needed for the progress of all industries. Therefore, this study will identify the factors that lead to
successful ICT start-up projects. Then, it will develop a model for the best practices in the interplay among
the defined factors that will increase the opportunity to initiate successful start-ups. This research involves
a factor analysis study based on a quantitative method to measure the interdependences among the success
factors for ICT start-ups. The identified factors are verified using a sample of Saudi
start-up companies.
The study will contribute to enhancing the technological content to diversify the Saudi economy in order to
prepare for the post-oil era
The "Startup Visa" an Innovation in Immigration Policy for the Digital AgeNatalie Novick
States have long courted international entrepreneurs in an effort to attract investment and capital to their countries. However, existing immigration legislation is poorly equipped for evaluating today's digital companies. Startup visa policies were developed in an effort to meet the needs to tech founders who wish to bring their companies to new markets. However, they often remain ill-suited for digital startups, and the impact thus far has been limited. While these visa programs aim to lower the barriers of entry for today’s technical entrepreneurs, new innovations in the evaluation process have created additional hurdles that have impacted success. A growing private role in the evaluation of these visa applications has created a new and unique challenge for prospective entrants, while fundamentally changing the way that immigrant visas are granted.

Lessons from 10 years of public meetups addressing existential riskDavid Wood
Slides used by David Wood in his presentation on 13 Dec 2016 to the Cambridge Conference of Catastrophic Risks, http://cser.org/cccr2016/: "Lessons from 10 years of public meetups addressing existential risk - 8 recommendations to improve the public conversation"
Professor Tim Brady from the Brighton Business School was one of the two keynote speakers at the Great Change Debate, organised by the APM Enabling Change SIG. The presentation is entitled "Change management: science fiction or fantasy?"
What are the differences between popular innovation project management methodologies? Why does project management often fail? Learn how risk assessment should define your methodology in order to become a real innovation factory. The waterfall methodology has been promoted for years as the best practice for IR&D management. These days agile and scrum are increasingly popular as alternative. Hater or believer? Good or bad? Get guided through our body of knowledge as published in the Inspire Toolbox.
Agile Project Management is an exciting methodology to manage complex projects. It’s mainly used in software development but can be used in any discipline.
This presentation explores the benefits of using Agile, a case study which purposely isn't software and a consideration of the leadership styles required to make an Agile project a success.
It was originally developed for TC World Bangalore and later adapted for GALA as a webinar.
Agile Project Management explained and examined from several angles. Agile Software Development delivers better results when it is managed in an agile way.

Innovation ecosystem potential & performance in Africa (abstract)Mondher Khanfir
While Innovation ecosystem is embedded into manufacturing Industry in developped countries, it's rather based on startups ecosystem in Africa. To measure innovation potential, and from there the overall performance, requires a specific methodology and scoring model. This is the rationale of this research work, that reveales not only the African Startups Ecosytems ranking, but also proposes an assesment tool for innovation public policy. A case study on Tunisia is given as illustration in this report.

Plaidoirie pour une politique publique favorisant l'avènement de la société d...Mondher Khanfir
L’innovation est l’apanage de beaucoup de discours politiques. Mais peu font explicitement le rapprochement entre l’innovation et le marché, et par delà, la capacité d’entrer en compétition à l’échelle mondiale.
En effet, comme l’innovation se mesure sur le marché, elle représente une arme redoutable pour changer les règles du jeu de la concurrence aussi bien dans les marchés émergents ou matures.
La Tunisie a traditionnellement développé des stratégies de compétition par les coûts, et non par la différentiation. Or, cette dernière exige de maîtriser d’une part, une industrie, quelle soit manufacturière ou de service, et d’avoir accès à des canaux de distribution efficients, d’autre part.
Dans un monde qui se « tertiarise », les opportunités se multiplient mais en même temps sont adressées et comblées chaque jour par des milliers d’entreprises et de startups, et qui constituent aujourd’hui pour bon nombre de pays de même niveau que la Tunisie, un vecteur de progrès extraordinaire basé sur la valorisation des connaissances, et la manière de les monétiser dans des modèles économiques compétitifs.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
