Face aux enjeux aussi bien collectifs ; en termes de développement économique et social des territoires et du pays ; qu’individuels pour les créateurs, les systèmes d’appui se sont progressivement imposés constituant, depuis les années 80, une réalité générale en Europe et plus particulièrement en France.Parmi les pratiques d’appui à la création d’entreprises, notre intérêt dans ce travail de recherche est porté sur le phénomène d’accompagnement entrepreneurial. D’abord abordé selon une approche plutôt technique collective axé sur le résultat, l’accompagnement entrepreneurial se transforme en une pratique d’aide à la création d’entreprise qui est fondée sur une relation d’influence interpersonnelle qui s’établit entre un porteur et un acteur externe au projet de création et sur un processus d’action fondé sur des apprentissages multiples et le développement des compétences.Si à l’état actuel de la recherche en entrepreneuriat l’ensemble des apports de l’accompagnement par la structure contribue à une meilleure réussite des porteurs accompagnés, nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement, dans notre travail de recherche, à l’autre « facette cachée » de la relation d’accompagnement qui est les accompagnateurs et à cette problématique de ce qu’apprennent ces acteurs professionnels dans leurs pratiques d’accompagnement au sein des structures d’accompagnement. Nous nous sommes, donc, posées la question de savoir : Dans quelle mesure les expériences d’accompagnement entrepreneurial affectent-elles les résultats d’apprentissage expérientiel et les comportements individuels et organisationnels des accompagnateurs dans Réseau Entreprendre ® ?Pour répondre à cette problématique, nous avons mobilisé la théorie de l’apprentissage expérientiel (Kolb, 1985) comme modèle de référence de notre recherche. La rencontre entre les deux concepts de base de notre recherche, à savoir, l’accompagnement entrepreneurial et plus particulièrement, l’accompagnateur et la théorie de l’apprentissage expérientiel de Kolb (1984 nous a permis de constituer notre modèle conceptuel mettant en relation quatre variables principales. Ces variables sont associées aux expériences d’accompagnement entrepreneurial, les caractéristiques individuelles des accompagnateurs, les résultats d’apprentissage expérientiel et, enfin, le changement des comportements individuels et organisationnels des accompagnateurs.En adoptant une méthodologie quantitative nous avons administré un questionnaire à un échantillon de 205 accompagnateurs de projet de création d’entreprise dans 38 associations Réseau Entreprendre en France. Les résultats de nos analyses quantitatives sont obtenus à partir de SPSS et apportent une meilleure compréhension du cycle d’apprentissage de l’accompagnateur dans les structures d’accompagnement en général et dans Réseau Entreprendre, en particulier. Les implications et contributions de notre travail de recherche aussi bien théoriques, méthodologiques que pratiques. / Faced with both the collective challenges, in terms of economic and social development of communities and countries; and individual challenges to the business creators, support systems have gradually imposed representing, since the 80s, a general reality in Europe and particularly in France.Among the practices of business support systems, our interest in this research is focused on the entrepreneurial support phenomenon. First approached from a more technical and collective approach focused on results, entrepreneurial support becomes a practical support to business creation which is based on an interpersonal influence relationship established between an entrepreneur and an external actor to the creation project and on an action process based on multiple learning and skills development.If all support contributions in the current state of entrepreneurship research help to a better entrepreneur’s success, in our research we are particularly interested in the other "hidden facet" of the support relationship whish are accompanists themselves and the problematic of what is learned by these professional actors from their practices in business support structures. We, therefore, asked the question: To what extent the entrepreneurial support experiences of accompanists affect their experiential learning outcomes and individual and organizational behaviors in “Réseau Entreprendre” (Entrepreneurship Network) ®?To address this problem, we mobilized the experiential learning theory (Kolb, 1985) as a reference model of our research. The meeting between the two fundamental concepts of our research, namely, entrepreneurial support and more specifically, the accompanist and Kolb's experiential learning theory (1984) enabled us to build our conceptual model relating four main variables. These variables are associated with entrepreneurial support experiences, individual characteristics of accompanists, the experiential learning outcomes and, finally, individual and organizational behavior changes.By adopting a quantitative methodology we administered a questionnaire to a sample of 205 entrepreneurs of creation project in 38 Entrepreneurship Network associations in France. The results of our quantitative analyzes are obtained from SPSS software and provide a better understanding of the accompanist learning cycle in general and in “Entrepreneurship Network” structures in particular. The implications and contributions of our research are theoretical, methodological and practical.

<p>Entrepreneurship is an important part of every country‟s economy. With the recent flow of migration to many countries, immigrant entrepreneurs have received interest from both societal and economical scholars to measure the effect they create on the home country economically or demographically. In Sweden as well as in other European countries, the rate of migration increases significantly. Upon migrating to Sweden, immigrants enters the labor market but difficulties in integrating into the labor market drive immigrants toward self-employment and thus becoming immigrant entrepreneurs.A nationality which has a long history of migration to Sweden and account for a considerable proportion of immigrants coming to Sweden every year are the Thai, but there is little research on this group of immigrants. The purpose of the study is to find out how Thai entrepreneurs use social capital in starting their business venture in Sweden. In the theoretical chapter, entrepreneurship and immigrant entrepreneurs are first defined, then the relationship between networking and entrepreneurship is discussed, followed by a section on social capital and its relationship with immigrant entrepreneurs. The literature suggests that entrepreneurs usually go through 3 stages of venture creation: idea generation, resource acquisition and market organization. With the help of social capital through their social network, entrepreneurs retrieve benefit from their network members in several aspects throughout these stages.We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with seven Thai entrepreneurs in Sweden who work in food, health-care, retail and lodging businesses. Both the business network and the ethnic network, in this case Thai network, have important roles when Thai entrepreneurs develop new business ventures. Social capital assists the entrepreneurs in solving the difficulties faced during establishment process, such as labor, taxation and legitimacy. In addition, social capital enables the entrepreneurs in information and resource acquisition, word of mouth advertisement and business registration. Further, family members and spouses are found to be significantly important for Thai entrepreneurs in Sweden as a source of labor, capital and business partners.</p> / Master thesis 15p spring term 2010

The development of venture capital industry is not only about the effective operation of venture capital firm, but also its supporting environments. The venture capital firms in different countries have different operation modes, for instance, the organizational structure, the source of finance and the investment behavior. The reason of the differences is that the venture capital supporting environments such as economy, culture, laws and regulations are different in various countries.   The objective of this research is to study the venture capital supporting environments in China and analyze the role of government on how to improve these supporting environments. After research questions are decided, the author analyzes and combines the selected previous researches in different countries in order to build a more systematic, scientific and complete theoretical framework to conduct the case study in China.   In the case study, all seven venture capital supporting environments in China are studied. By analyzing the facts, the author finds out that some environments such as laws and policies and financial environment have developed rapidly in past years and become more and more adapt to the development of venture capital. However, some other environments, especially the culture environment have negative effects on venture capital and can not be easily changed within a short period of time. Based on these findings, the author tries to find out some possible actions that the government can do to reduce these limitations and improve the venture capital supporting environments.     Key words: venture capital; supporting environment; venture business; venture capitalist

ABCTRACT The world is undertaking a period of agitation on business venture. In United States, Britain, Taiwan or other developed countries, no matter the government, academia or even the enterprises, it is obvious to see that they all pay attention to the topic on research of entrepreneurship management. Starting business is not difficult but it is not easy to run it successfully. You have to face countless crisis and uncertainty. While the success story of Mr. Wang Yongqing wins universal praise, more people ask curiously "Where is the next Wang Yongqing?¡¨. In order to implement the localization of research, we will concentrate on the model of entrepreneurial youth in Taiwan. This fills in the breach on the research of the factors for successful which includes the background and the course of starting an enterprise of the local entrepreneur. We have taken thorough interview with them. Based on the result, we suggest the following as the direction to research: background, characteristic of the personality, motivation, course, and style of the leadership. After the analysis, we conclude the necessary factors of a successful entrepreneur and assign the following topics: 1. To compare with authoritative discipline, it is easier to cultivate the necessary spirit and personality of a successful entrepreneur with democratic and permissive disciplines. 2. If the member of the family has experience on business venture, it is easier to cultivate a successful entrepreneur. 3. If the entrepreneur has stronger society support system, it is easier for him to be success. 4. Out of the five characteristics of the personality, a successful entrepreneur is always agreeable and conscientious. 5. If the entrepreneur continues to study, it is easier for him to be success. 6. If the entrepreneur is highly self-fulfilling and self-disciplined, it is easier for him to be success. 7. If the entrepreneur has a clear objective and executes toward it precisely, it is easier for him to be success. 8. If the entrepreneur is high-pressure resistance, well prepared oneself to changes and highly relievable from pressure, it is easier for him to be success. 9. If the entrepreneur has both Transformational and Transactional leadership styles, it is easier for him to be success. 10. If the entrepreneur has strong social conscience, it is easier for him to be success.

This thesis discusses factors of success in the process of new business venturing and growth in current business environment. It employs a sample of 200 entrepreneurial cases documented through interviews which were each broken into over 40 mainly quantitative criteria. Aided by simple statistical tools this result is then analyzed and evaluated, leading to a thorough analysis of each of the aspects discussed and finally culminating in conclusion stating which factors are the most significant. Besides purely academic interest, conclusions of this thesis could be of interest to both actual and prospective entrepreneurs.

The high failure rates of new business ventures (NBV) negatively affect employment and potential contributions to the economic health of communities. The high NBV failure rate is essential, as NBV sustainability influences job creation and increases employment rates in communities surrounding the NBV. The purpose of this qualitative single case study, using the effectuation conceptual framework, was to explore strategies organization leaders in the state of Missouri used for sustaining NBV operations beyond 5 years. The sample consisted of 6 NBV consultants from a single Missouri NBV consulting firm who have sustained NBVs beyond 5 years. The 6 NBV consultants answered standardized open-ended questions via semistructured interviews. Documentation served as a second data collection source. Data analysis included Yin's 5-step process, a thematic analysis by coding interview text, reducing themes based on redundancies, and combining common themes. The data revealed mindset as a meta-strategy and included three subordinate themes of knowledge-based strategies, network strategies, and systems strategies. The findings from this study can benefit NBV consultants and managers to assess mindset strategies as a foundation for developing subordinate sustainability strategies. The implications for positive social change include the potential for generating tax revenues to strengthen communities and increase support of quality education, contributions to infrastructure and public service expansions, and collaborations for community partnerships.

數位時代來臨，過去在戶外見到的傳統招牌廣告、商店內張貼的紙本海報，或是速食店(Quick Service Restaurant)的菜單，現在都漸漸由數位看板取代。根據Global Industry Analysts的預測，2017年全球數位看板市場規模約為138億美元。宏碁自建雲部門於2012年起致力於發展雲端相關之產品，看好數位看板的高成長性，宏碁將數位看板與自身雲端系統結合，在德國成功銷售了8,000台數位看板解決方案。2017年，宏碁取得前線媒體的影像辨識感應器技術，並將其應用到宏碁智雲看板解決方案上，讓「眼球經濟」商業化，成為創新的商業模式。透過積極的入股和策略聯盟，宏碁不斷優化自身的銷售組合以及商業模式，希望將營運宏碁智雲看板的Acer Being Signage Gmbh德國子公司成為宏碁自建雲第一個上市的事業體。 本研究將探討宏碁智雲看板的商業模式，同時，給予其建議，使其能與競爭者差異化以達到目標所需之銷售量。 / Digital transformation age has come. Digital Signage replaced the traditional out-of-home media such as plastic advertising signs, posters in stores and paper menus in quick service restaurants.

Bakgrund och problemdiskussion: Årligen sker uppstarter av nya företag men flera av dem läggs ned kort därefter. En faktor är svårigheterna till finansiering då externa finansiärer inte är benägna att ta risker och flera företag har dålig insikt om alternativen som finns när det kommer till val av finansiering. Därför anses det väsentligt att studera gapet genom ett antal mikro- och småföretag och diskutera finansieringsmetoder som de valt till sin verksamhet och hur det har påverkat företaget utifrån ägarfördelning och företagslivscykel.   Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa en djupare förståelse och kunskap om mikro- och småföretags möjligheter att skaffa kapital för att säkerställa verksamhetens fortlevnad och tillväxt. Genom ökad förståelse ges ett bidrag till att underlätta val av finansieringsmetod och ge värdefulla kunskaper inom ämnet.   Metod: Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie där materialinsamling sker genom semistrukturerade intervjuer för att skapa en djupare förståelse från respondenterna. Med en komparativ studie sammanvävs faktorerna finansiering, företagslivcykel och ägarfördelning då det saknas forskning som behandlar ämnena tillsammans. Undersökningen är en flerfallstudie där 12 företag har valts ut för empirisk materialinsamling.   Slutsats: Anledningar till företagens olika finansieringssätt beroende på olika stadier i livscykeln beror snarare av aktiva val som företagen gjort. Då ingen tydlig koppling mellan vissa finansieringssätt och stadier i livscykeln, upptäcktes istället ett teoretiskt gap i livscykelmodellen. Ägarfördelning gjorde stor påverkan vid val av finansiering för studiens deltagande företag där tydlig koppling ges mellan vad varje ägare anser om ägarandelar och vilken finansiering som då väljs. / Background and problem discussion: Every year, new companies start up, several of them are shut down shortly thereafter. One factor is the difficulty of financing as external financiers are not inclined to take risks and several companies have poor insight about the alternatives that exist when it comes to the choice of funding. Therefore, it is considered essential to study the gap through a number of micro and small companies and discuss funding methods that they have chosen for their business and how it has affected the company based on ownership distribution and business life cycle.   Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to create a deeper understanding and knowledge of the possibilities of micro and small companies to acquire capital in order to ensure the continuity and growth of the business. Through increased understanding, a contribution is made to facilitate the choice of financing method and provide valuable knowledge in the subject.   Method: The essay is a qualitative study in which material collection takes place through semi-structured interviews to create a deeper understanding of the respondents. With a comparative study, the factors financing, business life cycle and ownership distribution are combined where there is no research that deals with the topics together. The survey is a multiple-case study in which 12 companies have been selected for empirical material collection.   Conclusion: Reasons for the companies different funding methods depending on different stages of the life cycle are due rather to active choices made by the companies. Since no clear link between certain funding methods and stages in the life cycle, a theoretical gap was instead discovered in the life cycle model. Ownership distribution made a large impact on the choice of funding for the study's participating companies, where a clear connection is given between what each owner considers about ownership interests and what funding is then chosen.
