Beskrivning

This is the age of start-upsand up-starts. At the same time, we are passing througha phase of ?nancial meltdown and series of economic and geo-political uncertainties. Therefore,the central question for economic research is: how to support small ?rms and encourage new start-ups such that they can sustain through such volatile times? Small ?rms and start-ups generally face many problems with ?nance, especially in times of ?nancial crises. Along with it, the problems of inherent bureaucratic re- lations and banking restrictions often obstruct the growth of entrepreneurs.I tried to study these inter-related issues through this book. In this process I have been lucky to have valuable co-authors. The ?rst - per in this book, 'Financial Signalling by Innovative Nascent Entrepreneurs', was co-authored with Prof. David B. Audretsch and Prof. Werner Bonte...The s- ond paper, 'What do Scientists Want: Money or Fame?', was co-authored with Dr. Devrim Goktepe-Hulten ' . The third paper, 'Regional Financial System and the Financial Structure of Small Firms', and the fourth, 'Corruption and Innovation: A Grease or Sand relationship?', are both solely authored by me.

Mer om författaren

Prashanth Mahagaonkar's interest in entrepreneurship research began with remarkable experiences while working with almost 300 small business owners in India. The word \constraint" took many forms during these interactions. While for one entrepreneur it was always an issue of nance, while for other it was marketing or how to get new technology. How do entrepreneurs face these problems? are there any economic solutions to identify and correct these problems? These were the questions that Prashanth brought with him along when he joined as a research fellow at the entrepreneurship, growth and public policy group of the Max Planck Institute of Economics, Germany. Research ideally must take the form of practice, and therefore Prashanth also studies scientists' intentions and opinions on commercialization of science. On the practice side, Prashanth's interests fall in the area of turnaround strategies, business performance, innovation and Knowledge management. Along with the issues of innovation and nance, Prashanth also works on exchange rate economics and development economics. Prashanth's work appeared in the Center for Economic Policy Reseach Paper series, Jena Economics Research Paper series as well as in peer-reviewed international journals. Prashanth is also associated with the Schumpeter School of Business and Economics in the University of Wuppertal, where he nished his PhD dissertation under the guidance of Professors Werner Boente and David B. Audretsch. Prashanth currently is a senior research fellow at the Entrepreneurship, Growth and Public Policy group of the Max Planck Institute of Economics in Jena, Germany. When not working, prashanth actively engages in photography, experimental art and hiking.
