En el nuevo escenario internacional establecido por la economía y la sociedad del co- nocimiento, los temas de innovación y emprendimiento son de vital importancia para el desarrollo, consolidación y bienestar de las economías emergentes. En los últimos años, México se ha sumado a esta revolución a través de la cual se está transformando, progresivamente, la forma como se promueve el desarrollo de empresas y el pensamiento emprendedor.
Sin embargo, a pesar de los notorios avances que se han logrado en nuestro país, aún se deben catalizar y hacer más eficientes las iniciativas que se concretan en la apertura de un negocio propio (autoempleo) ó en el desarrollo de empresas de alto impacto (o de base tecnológica). Ambos enfoques de emprendimiento han mostrado ser soluciones viables y de rápida implementación para lograr un crecimiento económico real en países en vías de desarrollo. Sin embargo, las startups que se sustentan sobre sólidos principios científicos y/o tecnológicos y encuentran un modelo de negocios con alto potencial de escalamiento se distinguen como la opción más viable para generar riqueza y bienestar social en sus comunidades.
Este trabajo busca dar una guía clara y sencilla para poder comercializar o generar empresas a partir de investigaciones en las Universidades de México.

The development of a formal business plan is strongly promoted by innovation intermediaries in the early-stage of venturing activities. According to studies, however, the formal business plan plays only the role of an entry tool to the deal flow process of financiers in the fundraising. This is due to the fact that for an (e)valuation of the venture based on the business plans no empirically validated indictors exist, that give insights into the survival and growth in reality. The business plan describes transaction relations in the cross-section between the venture and its outside reality. Relations to the transaction dimensions suppliers, financiers and people of the input side as well as to customers on the output side define the core of the so-called ego-centric value network of technology-based ventures in their early stages. Literature on network theory that discusses in one line the creation of new ventures argues that the capabilities to innovate are explained by this outside environment. When going through the seed, startup, and early growth phase, a venture matures its ego-centric value-network from strong identity based relations to weak calculative relations. Based on these theoretical ideas, the artefact business plans of survived and failed ventures were investigated with respect to descriptions of transaction relations in a comparative study. It was shown that technology-based ventures that exhibit only a small number of described transaction relations and also not in each transaction dimension are more likely to fail. The findings and the relevant academic literature allowed to conceptualize a multidimensional measurement instrument which (e)valuates the maturity of the value network of an early-stage technology venture based on the strength of the described transaction relations in a business plan. The model could be validated by conducting a first coding and purification test with students from Constance University of Applied Sciences. This test also prepared the instrument for the applicability in a large scale quantitative text analysis. It aimed at identifying inaccuracies in the research design as well as with respect to the measurement instrument. It is suggested to base further purification tests on a large, representative sample of business plans. Automated content analysis tests could be started with a software company. Based on 40 business plans, the aim of the first coding test was to empirically validate the suggested model using theoretical saturation sampling and thus show that it is possible to draw conclusions about the survival and growth of early-stage technology ventures from described transaction relations in business plans. This research addresses the gap of missing empirical indicators for (e)valuating early-stage technology based ventures using their business plans. It contributes to the network theory literature in the field of new venture creation by adding the business plan as an objective source for investigating the network of early-stage technology ventures. In practice it will help participants in the innovation system to better handle a quantity of early-stage technology ventures.

Start-up is a basic thing that a person trying to do something original. Technopreneurs are the genes of technology based entrepreneurs, but they are not only bearing the risk in business and also crossing the danger zone in innovative and initiative a new kind of product and service to the society. In recent years, India concentrates on the development of start-up environment and deserves that, this is the best season to promote the techno start-up for the massive pillar in the upcoming trends. Since 2010, entire developed nations were focusing on the roar of technopreneurs of our nation. In the present situation, government of India highly offering outstanding opportunities to its extent and this may set the new milestone for the next phase of the start-up environment. This paper deals with the development of technopreneurship in India and contribution to the start-up technopreneurs, new schemes and well equipped technology parks will be implemented for the welfare of the new star...

Technology-based ventures foster economic growth by accelerating knowledge-transfer. The public sector, interested in increasing their survival prospects, aims at allocating limited financial resources efficiently to foster regional innovation activity. Business coaching is seen as one of the main factors positively impacting on the performance of venture teams because it helps addressing the challenge of high-speed organizational change founders are facing. Though not much research is available investigating this type of supportive guidance applied to technology-oriented startups, it represents a key element of incubation and acceleration programs. Following the conceptual design of a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) study, this research program applies quantitative research methods in a business context to investigate the cause-and-effect-relationship between business coaching and venture survival. For the RCT study, a longitudinal sample of 450 early-stage startups will be recruited over three years by our project delivery partner bwcon. The Institute for Strategic Innovation and Technology Management (IST) has been granted access to venture data representing the basis for data analysis. Using this unique database of early-stage technology-based ventures from the German regional state Baden- Württemberg, a deeper understanding of the impact of coaching activities can be gained. Identifying underlying causal effects of the effectiveness of business coaching on venture survival capabilities may enable accelerators and entrepreneurship program providers to optimize their activities, which would in the long-run accelerate startup business growth.
