  • The dynamics of innovation and sustainability performance in the context of small and medium manufacturers in India   Order a copy of this article
    by Ashok Kumar Sar  
    Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of innovation on sustainability performance. The associated constructs were developed through an extensive review of the literature. The constructs were measured using a Likert scale for a sample of respondents from small and medium-sized manufacturers in India. Structural equation modelling was used to test the reliability and validity of the model, as well as hypothesis testing. The results indicate that all three forms of innovation significantly impact the environment and economic performance, while business model innovation significantly impacts the social performance of firms. Considering the ever-growing importance of sustainability, the results of this study provide insights into the impact of innovation on sustainability in a granular form. Accordingly, this study adds to the current literature on strategic management, particularly regarding sustaining overall business performance.
    Keywords: product innovation; process innovation; business model innovation; BMI; economic sustainability; environment sustainability; social equity sustainability.

  • Introduction of New technologies into the Market: Quantifying Risks for a Fairer Valuation   Order a copy of this article
    by Marcilio Andrade, Carolina Fonseca, Juliana Silva, Regia Guimarães 
    Abstract: Technology valuation is a fundamental tool in innovation to catalyse technology transfer from entrepreneurs to the market. However, the typical risks associated with introducing new technologies are not often adequately assessed during the valuation process. The absence of a rational and quantitative approach to risk assessment can lead to an unfair valuation, potentially resulting in inconveniences related to underestimation or overestimation of the technology's true worth. We propose a structured technique to measure the risk premium associated with new technology's market entry. It enables a comprehensive and rational technology valuation using the discount rate of the Discounted Cash Flow method. We demonstrate the practical application of this technique through a case study involving a particular technology under development at the Nuclear Technology Development Center. Technology specialists and managers validated the technique and results. It contributes to a fairer valuation of technologies, facilitating interaction between entrepreneurs, investors, and developers.
    Keywords: Technology Valuation; Discount Rate; Technology Transfer; Risks.

  • Fintech Insights: Determinants of Early-Stage Venture Capital in an Emerging Economy   Order a copy of this article
    by Adriana Bruscato Bortoluzzo, Andrea M. A. F. Minardi, Dean Silva 
    Abstract: Fintechs play a critical role in advancing financial innovation and inclusion, particularly within emerging markets. This study examines the extent to which macroeconomic conditions, industries, and startup-specific characteristics influence early-stage financing outcome for Brazilian fintechs. Additionally, it investigates whether fundraising dynamic varies across different life-cycle stages. Using a competing risks survival regression model, the analysis shows that the following factors determine success in pre-seed, seed, and Series A funding rounds: geographic location, team composition (number of founders), total private equity and venture capital investment in Brazil at the time of firm inception, and fintech subsectors. However, their effects differ between pre-seed rounds and subsequent follow-on stages. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the multifaceted drivers of fintech funding dynamics in Brazil, and offer empirical insights for scholars, entrepreneurs and investors operating in this evolving ecosystem.
    Keywords: Fintech; startup; survival analysis; venture capital; early-stage investment.
