Purpose  The purpose of this study is to extend current literature on the concept of value capture for AI start-ups, focusing on the challenges they face and how to maximize value capture. By investigating relational and economical value capture dimensions, this study aims to identify opportunities for start-ups to extract value from their AI digital solutions. The study further aims to contribute valuable insights to the literature, by building on the link between digital revenue models and value capture.  Method  To fulfill the stated purpose, this study has adopted a qualitative, abductive single case study approach with a focus on an AI start-up in the wind energy industry. The analysis was based on 20 semi-structured interviews which were conducted with different companies active in the wind energy industry. All data was analyzed through a 5-step thematic analysis process.  Findings  Two main challenges a start-up may face were identified which were “Difficulties getting access to partnering companies” and “Difficulties selling as a start-up”. Additionally, it was found that relational value capture can be maximized using pilot studies, which is possible by building trust and close relationships. Regarding economical value capture, this study showcases the importance of adapting the choice of revenue model to the customer where the perceived risk of the investment, in the customers’ point of view, plays a big role.  Theoretical contributions  Previous literature has mainly established a connection between the concept of value capture and revenue models. However, this study further bridges the two, and more in depth displays how revenue models could affect the captured value regarding AI start-ups. Additionally, this study further elaborates on the literature regarding relational value capture, showcasing how it can differ for a start-up and the challenges that arise when AI is involved.  Practical contributions  This study contributes with concrete examples of what challenges a start-up needs to consider when trying to capture value from their product. Additionally, the study contributes with a practical understanding on how a start-up can maximize value capture, by showcasing important factors to consider, both when it comes to relational and economical value capturing. Moreover, a decision tree has been formed, which can support AI start-ups when choosing a suitable revenue model.  Limitations and future research  Firstly, the study's findings may not be applicable to other industries, highlighting the need for multi-industry case studies for generalization and cross-industry comparisons. Secondly, more in-depth research is needed to explore the specific steps and strategies for building relationships, especially in the context of start-ups. Thirdly, this study primarily focuses on the revenue model aspect of value capture, overlooking the concept of value proposition which limits the depth of the findings and contributions and would be of interest to further investigate. / Syfte Syftet med studien är att berika litteraturen kring begreppet värde-fångande för AI start-ups, genom att fokusera på utmaningarna de står inför, samt hur de kan maximera värde-fångande. Genom att undersöka relationella och ekonomiska dimensioner av värde-fångande strävar denna studie efter att identifiera möjligheter för start-ups att utvinna värde från sina AI-baserade digitala lösningar. Studien syftar också till att bidra med värdefulla insikter till litteraturen genom att bygga på sambandet mellan digitala intäktsmodeller och värde-fångande.    Metod För att uppfylla det angivna syftet, har studien antagit en kvalitativ, abduktiv enskild fallstudieansats med fokus på en AI start-up inom vindkraftsbranschen. Analysen baserades på 20 semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomfördes med olika företag verksamma inom vindkraftsbranschen. All data analyserades genom en 5-stegs tematisk analysprocess.  Resultat Studien identifierade två huvudsakliga utmaningar som en start-up kan ställas inför, vilka var “Svårigheter att få tillgång till företag att samarbeta med” och “Svårigheter att sälja som en start-up”. Dessutom visade det sig att relationellt värde-fångande kan maximeras genom att använda pilotstudier, vilket möjliggörs genom att bygga tillit och nära relationer. När det gäller ekonomiskt värde-fångande visar denna studie vikten av att anpassa valet av intäktsmodell till kunden, där den upplevda risken för investeringen, sett ur kundens perspektiv, spelar stor roll.  Teoretiska bidrag Tidigare litteratur har främst etablerat en koppling mellan begreppet värde-fångande och intäktsmodeller. Denna studie går ett steg längre och visar mer ingående hur intäktsmodeller kan påverka det fångade värdet för AI start-ups. Dessutom utvecklar denna studie den befintliga litteraturen ytterligare kring relationellt värde-fångande och visar hur det kan skilja sig för en start-up och de utmaningar som uppstår då AI är inblandat. Praktiska bidrag Denna studie bidrar med konkreta exempel på vilka utmaningar en start-up behöver ta hänsyn till när de försöker fånga värde från sin produkt. Dessutom bidrar studien med en praktisk förståelse för hur en start-up kan maximera värde-fångande genom att visa på viktiga faktorer att beakta både när det gäller relationella och ekonomiska dimensioner. Utöver detta har ett beslutsträd utformats, med syfte att stödja start-ups vid val av lämplig intäktsmodell.  Begränsningar och framtida forskning För det första är denna studie begränsad till en specifik bransch, vilket understryker behovet av studier i fler branscher för en ökad generaliserbarhet och jämförelse. För det andra behövs mer ingående forskning för att utforska de specifika stegen och strategierna som krävs för att bygga relationer, särskilt när det gäller start-ups. För det tredje fokuserar denna studie primärt på intäktsmodell aspekten av värde-fångande och bortser från konceptet värdeerbjudande. Detta begränsar djupet i resultatet och skulle därför vara intressant för framtida forskare att undersöka.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In spite of your social and economical importance, the farming of rice has been a lot sought, mainly on the environmental impact caused in the resources hydrics. However this problem, doesn't give to classify it as big or small, without data research concretes. This work had as objective creates a methodology for the environmental and economical to value for the use of the watw in the The Arroio Grande's Hydrographic Sub-basin, (RS), through the quantifications ofthe Environmental Liability and of the Head ofiice of Intemctions (Head office of LeopoldIRocha). Analyzing the results in 17 researched properties, with Area of Influente of 12.790,05 there is. it was vefted that was from 47,58% to Deterioration Medium of the Environmental Liabilii. The sum of all the areas of irrigated farmings of the researched properties is of 394,5 there is helshe was 3,08% of the extension in the wlculation ofthe magnitude of the impact, and up to 10% weight 1 1s valued, the areas were analyzed like this jointly for eifect of Evaluation of the Environmental Impact. The medium total deteriorations of all the farmings of imgated nce, considering the 88 crossings of the actions proposed with all the environmental factors they were from 6,31% to the magnitude and 14,52% for the importance of the environmental impacts. The considered enterprise, farming of irrigated rice, just as her finds it is períectly viable. Being considered the total medium values that are below 5,O (infiection value for the electric outlet of contrary decisions or impeded the implantation of the farming of irrigated rice), that they were 1,57 and 2,31, respectively, for magnitude and importance and the deteriorations for Magnitude (12,54%) and Importance (18,45%) placing a little above 10% (tolerable environmental value, I globally accept for environmental entities), what means that are indispensable "some measured mitigatory and mmpensatory". In severa1 literatures it was the value to be collected for irrigation I sfill from R$ 0,02 to R$0,192 1 m3, through the used methodology was arrived at the most R$0,072/m with deterioration of 52,8% for DPAP and of 10.41% for DLR. As it is recommended that the deteriorations avera es for DPAP and DLR to be of 10%, the value to be collected Y for irrigation would be in R$ 0,023lm , therefore a very close value of the reality of the disposition that the users would be, probably, disposed to pay for the consumption of the irrigation when of your reception. The applied methodology for the quantiication of a mathematical model for the collection for the use of the water in farmings of rice irrigated in the Arroio Grande's Hydrographic Sub-basin it constitutes a starting point for a deeper and including debate, serving from platform to the creation of consents and futures studies that come to be accomplished. As well as, it serves as incentive to the users of the referred hydrographic sub-basin they reduce it to deterioration of the environment, through a production of rice irrigated with the smallest possible environmental impact. / Apesar de sua importância social e econômica, a lavoura arrozeira tem sido muito visada, principalmente sobre o impacto ambiental causado nos recursos hídricos. No entanto este problema, não dá para ciassificá-to como grande ou pequeno, sem dados concretos de pesquisa. Este trabalho teve como objetivo aiar uma metoddogia para a Valoração Econômica e Arnbiental pelo Uso da na Subbaaa Hidrográfica Arroio Grande (RS), através das quantificaçôes do Passivo Arnbiental e da M z de Intemções (Matriz de Leopold/Rocha). Analisando os resultados, em 17 propriedades ! amosbadas. com Área de Influência de 12.790.05 ha. verificou-se que a Deterioraçêo Média do Passivo Ambieotal foi de 47,5896. A soma de todas as áreas de lavouras irrigadas das propriedades amostradas é de 394.5 ha encontrou-se 3.08% da extenso no cálculo da magninide do impacto, sendo que até 10% é valorado peso 1. assim as áreas foram analisadas conjuntamente para efeito de Avaliação do Impacto Arnbiental. As deterioraçóes totais médios de todas as lavouras de arroz irrigado, considerando os 88 cruzamentos das ações propostas com todos os fatores ambientais foram de 6.31% para a magnitude e 14.52% para a importância dos impactos ambientais. O empreendimento considerado, lavoura de arroz irrigado, tal como se encontra é perfeitamente viável. Considerando-se os valores médios totais que se encontram abaixo de 5,O (valor de inflexáo para a tomada de decisóes contrárias ou impeditivas a implantação da lavoura de arroz irrigado), que foram 1,57 e 2,31, respectivamente, para magnitude e importância e as deterioraçóes para Magnitude (12.54%) e Importância (18,45%) situando um pouco acima de 10% (valor ambiental tolerável, mundialmente aceito por entidades ambientais), o que significa que são indispensáveis "algumas medidas mitigadoras e compensatórias". Em diversas literaturas encontrou-se o valor a ser cobrado para irrigação entorno de R$ 0,02 a R$ 0.192/ m3, através da metodologia usada chegou-se no máximo a R$ 0,072/m3 com deterioração de 52,8% para a DPAP e de 10,41% para o DLR. Como se recomenda que as deteriorações médias para DPAP e DLR sejam de 10%, o valor a ser cobrado para irrigação ficaria em R$ 0,023/m3, portanto um valor muito próximo da realidade da disposição que os usuários estariam, provavelmente, dispostos a pagar pelo consumo da irrigação quando da sua captação. A metodologia aplicada para a quantificação de um modelo matemático para a cobrança I pelo uso da água em lavouras de arroz irrigado na Sub-bacia Hidrcgráfica Arroio Grande constitui um 1 ponto de partida para um debate mais profundo e abrangente, servindo de plataforma a criação de consensos e a futuros estudos que venham a ser realizados. Assim como, serve de incentivo aos usuários da referida sub-bacia hidrográfica a reduzirem a deterioração do meio ambiente, através de uma produção de arroz irrigado com o menor impacto ambiental possível.

This study theoretically presupposes that the individual is an integral entity, therefore, education should take place according to the harmonious development of all the facets of a child's being. Even in antiquity, physical education and sport were seen to be important for a balanced education. Every society implements physical education and sport according to own needs and requirements, according certain values to sport, which values are reviewed in this study. A literature study corroborates that the intellectual, physical and social development of the child undoubtedly forms part of the total environment of the educative process. Exclusion of any facet could cause an imbalance in the development of the child. Incorporation of physical education and sport in the post-apartheid educational dispensation of South Africa forms the later part of the investigation. Various factors in South Africa have an influence on the role and place of physical education and sport within the curriculum. Government involvement in sport can determine the place of sport in society and in the curriculum. The readmittance of South Africa into international participation and changes in the political policy also play a role. These factors pose the challenge and facilitate the possibility to reinstate physical education and sport at schools. The structure of South African sport is undergoing a total change and the role players in the sports fraternity are now faced with numerous challenges and opportunities. Reinstating physical education and sport in the school curriculum serves a vital role in the reconstruction and development of a healthy and well-balanced society. Furthermore, reinstatement could reverse the consequences of social and economic injustices. Research undertaken in Australia, also provides some answers to problems for the South African situation. It proposes new initiatives that could be of help to the relevant role players in the planning of physical education and school sport in the post­ apartheid educational dispensation of South Africa. / Educational Studies / D.
