Witoi es un Startup de tecnología que tiene como mantra "pasión por ayudar a las pymes en el ecommerce" y presenta diversos problemas de gestión, como incumplimiento de compromisos, inseguridad en los pasos a seguir, distribución de recursos, entre otros. Se espera que el alcance del trabajo sea implementar el sistema en Witoi.com como sujeto de control y dejar documentado el programa para otros Startup que deseen utilizarlo. Dado que el objetivo del trabajo de título es crear un programa de gestión replicable, la metodología utilizada para crear el programa fue acceder a diversas metodologías, herramientas y artefactos en la literatura más reciente e innovadora de emprendimiento y adecuarlos e intervenir durante un periodo de 6 meses las actividades de la empresa Witoi, documentado los cambios producidos y resultados obtenidos para elegir y ensamblar diversos elementos en un programa de gestión. En el marco conceptual se utilizaron diversos programas y metodologías de autores cómo Eric Ries, Steven Blank, David Sibbet, Carlos Vignolo, entre otros. Estos autores se caracterizan por mezclar técnicas de administración, generación de capital social, metodologías ágiles de programación, visual thinking y artefactos de innovación. Declarando como eje central a las personas como recurso clave en la organización. El resultado obtenido fue la implementación de un programa de ocho etapas que se centra en la retrospectiva y validación a tiempo continuo de las actividades. Permite crear objetivos de corto plazo de forma estructurada a través de iteraciones. Se concluye que la maximización del aprendizaje dentro de un Startup es la forma principal de llevar al éxito a una empresa que se enfrenta a un ambiente de incertidumbre y velocidad de cambio tan alta. Las etapas pueden dividirse de forma general en tres conceptos; alineación de equipo, declaración y compromisos de actividades, método científico en la implementación y retrospectiva de lo realizado. El modelo obtenido es el modelo actual que se utiliza en la empresa Witoi.com y se debe a que es un modelo adaptativo a la realidad de cada empresa, por lo que puede evolucionar de acuerdo a los requerimientos de la organización.

Como recomendación a Startups que deseen aplicar el modelo, hay tres aspectos principales a considerar, el managment debe ser parte de un Startup, la función a maximizar es el aprendizaje y es posible utilizar método científico en la gestión de empresas a través de hipótesis y experimentos para validar el trabajo a realizado.

Using publicly available data from three South African Development Finance Institutions (DFI's), this study examines the risk appetite of Business Partners (BP), the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) and the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA). This study analyses data between 2011 and 2015 to determine the DFI's risk appetite and to identify key determinants of risk appetite with regard to funding SMEs, specifically startups. The study's findings reveal that South African DFI's have a high to extremely high-risk appetite level and that state-owned DFI's, NEF and SEFA have a higher risk appetite for funding SMEs specifically startup related loan products than private DFI BP. The study's findings also illustrates that South African DFI's risk appetites have a weaker negative relationship with shorter-term financial products than longer-term financial products indicating a higher risk appetite for funding shorter-term financial products.

Incubators have become a popular way for corporations to stay in front of their competition because,y pos today´s startups are an immense spring of innovation as many possess emerging innovation. These corporate incubators offer the startups a support system where they can test and leapfrog their innovations, and add innovation to the corporations. However, there is a large difference between these two parties, which makrs successful collaboration a challenge.  This study examines how to improve this collaboration based on information obtained through an embedded case study of a large corporate incubator and startups present within it. The main findings suggest three important factors for a large enterprise to gain the most value out of their incubators: (1) clear communication, (2) startups need to know what their  objective is, and (3) incubator support from the organization. To leverage startup innovation in a corporate incubator and to attain these three factors, three building blocks for a corporate incubator have been identified: selection process, case building, and graduation. / Inkubatorer har blivit ett populärt sätt för företag att vara konkurrenskraftiga eftersom dagens startups är en enorm källa av innovation. Dessa företagsinkubatorer erbjuder startups ett supportsystem där de kan testa och accelerera deras innovationsprocess och erbjuda innobation till företagen. Men, det är emellertid en stor skillnad mellan dessa två parter, vilket gör ett framgångsrikt samarbete till en utmaning.  Denna studie undersöker hur man kan förbättra detta samarbete baserat på information som erhållits genom en fallstudie av en stor företagsinkubator och dess startups. Resultatet av denna fallstudie är tre viktiga faktorer som behövs för att ett företag ska få ut det mesta av deras inkubator. (1) Tydlig kommunikation, (2) medvetenhet från startups av vad de behöver och (3) inkbatorstöd från hela företaget. För att utnyttja den innovation som startups tillför och för att uppnå dessa tre faktorer, tre delar av processen för en företafsinkubator identifierades: Urvalsprocessen, sammarbetsfasen och examen.
