This paper analyzes new business formation connected to the use of established mobile technologies and associated services. The purpose of the paper is to describe how a set of alternative business network situations can emerge when established wireless application technologies are exploited and new value is created and new business ventures are formed. A set of short cases describe how new business can be created based on established SMS applications and services. The paper discusses central aspects of the formation of new business ventures in networks. Here, focus is on opportunities to create value based on the exploitation of existing technology. The technology is used in a new way and is perceived by existing actors as an opportunity to exploit by creating a new intermediary performing a new role. In business practice, technology development is related to formation of new business ventures, they cannot be separated from each other., QC 20120423

The purpose of this book chapter is to present empirical findings and interpretations concerning the role of small and new firms for job creation and economic well-being from a regional perspective. More specifically, we will deal with the following questions: • Are small firms over-represented as creators of new jobs? • What characteristics of regions contribute to high levels of new firm formation? • Is a large and/or dynamic small firm sector a prerequisite for favorable development of various aspects of regional economic well-being? The analyses concern business dynamics in Sweden during the 1985-9 period, using a data set that was compiled for this particular research project. Importantly, the studied period was one of increasing GNP, rapid employment growth in the private service sector, and very low levels of unemployment in most regions. While many results from the project have been presented and discussed before (Davidsson, Lindmark & Olofsson, 1993a; 1993b; 1994a; 1994b; 1995a; 1995b; Davidsson, 1995a) some analyses were carried out specifically for this paper.

El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer un análisis explícito de cómo la estructura de la propiedad de una empresa y el grado de concentración de ésta influyen en su supervivencia. Para ello se analizan 399 empresas del sector confección de las Comunidades Autónomas de Madrid y de Cataluña. Los resultados indican que existe evidencia empírica para afirmar que la estructura de la propiedad afecta a la supervivencia de las empresas nuevas (con menos de cinco años de vida), no observándose la misma influencia en las empresas maduras (con más de cinco años de vida)., The purpose of this study is to provide an explicit analysis of how a company’s ownership structure and degree of concentration influence its survival. Basing our hypotheses on network theory contributions, 399 confection companies in Spanish Autonomous Communities of Madrid and Catalonia are analysed. Results provide empirical evidence to support that ownership structure affects survival of new companies (less than five years old), an effect which is not observed in more mature companies (more than five years old).

peer-reviewed, The extraordinary growth of the Irish economy - the ‘Celtic Tiger’ - since the mid-1990s has attracted a great deal of interest, commentary and research. Indeed, many countries are now looking to Ireland as an economic development role model, and The Sapir Report (2003) has suggested that Ireland should be seen as providing key lessons for other EU countries with regards to realising the objectives set out in the Lisbon Agenda. Much of the discussion of Ireland’s growth has focussed around growth triggers such as: the long term consequences of fiscal stabilisation of the late 1980s; EU structural funds; education; wage moderation; devaluations of the Irish punt. From an industrial policy perspective, the focus has been on the importance of FDI inflows and to a lesser extent on the performance of an indigenous stock of firms to Ireland’s growth record. A notable absence from the industrial policy discourse on the ‘Celtic Tiger’ has been any consideration of the role of new business venture creation and entrepreneurship. In this paper we use unpublished annual Irish VAT data for the period 1988-2004 to provide the first detailed look at national and regional trends in business birth and death rates in Ireland. We also undertake a sub-national analysis of the Irish VAT data to understand more clearly the importance of new venture creation to past and emerging spatial trends in Ireland. Our conclusion is that new business formation made no detectable contribution to the acceleration of Ireland’s growth in the late 1990s.

The study suggests that opportunity creation is indeed a social process. In this study, we elaborate on the social creation of entrepreneurial opportunities. The empirical part of this study will attempt to clarify the processes of opportunity objectification and enactment, by carefully studying the case of one Finnish-based start-up company. The empirical case study revealed that the social creation of opportunities is defined by the strong vision of the entrepreneur, combining knowledge and incorporating feedback as well as actively communicating the opportunity further. By combining these features, entrepreneurs are able to break current operational boundaries and create mutually interesting and attractive entrepreneurial opportunities. This study adds to opportunity research by providing a more comprehensive explanation of social processes in opportunity creation.JEL Codes: L260, O310, M130
