“…The business model formulation uses BMC, a strategic business planning tool described in the book "Business Model Generation" [36]. This tool allows companies to document current and desired future business models [37]. On the other hand, Gonçalo Cardeal et al [10] proposed an extension of the BMC that incorporates sustainability aspects, called the Business Model Canvas for Sustainability (BMCS), which integrates all dimensions of sustainability comprehensively into a single canvas to ensure alignment and vertical coherence in business analysis.…”

Recognized as key players in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), startups are increasingly poised to leverage Virtual Reality (VR) technology for impactful solutions. This study investigates the synergy between startups and VR in advancing SDG-related challenges, echoing previous assertions on startups' aptitude for SDG endeavors and VR's potential for SDG advancement. Through an exploration of VR's applicability in various domains such as Entertainment, Training, Education, and Tourism, this study unveils compelling use cases aligning with SDG aspects, thus validating the hypothesis on startups' potential to harness VR for SDG contributions. The study employs a customized customer discovery technique, an essential process in the Customer Development methodology, to uncover VR's problem-solution fit, offering practical insights for startup business model development. The implications of these findings extend globally, underlining VR's role in addressing SDG issues and laying a robust foundation for startup ventures. Despite its focus on specific consumer markets and sectors, the study's methodology presents a practical approach applicable to broader technology adoptions.

Small software companies face numerous challenges of complexity, unstructured software development processes and scarce resources. This notwithstanding, the companies have dominated the software market by 80 percent. The practice and products of these companies are still persistently marred by quality issues arising from the processes, with evidence indicating that process tools do not fit the unique contexts in which they operate. Significant strides have been made in transforming software development practice; however, the challenges are still evidently apparent. Hence the need to establish how knowledge areas are applied in process practice, understand the context of software development and its implication in practice, how process tools are utilised in practice and evaluate quality of research in software literature The researchers undertook a systematic mapping study to determine the state of practice in empirical literature on software engineering of SSCs by examining and classifying 1096 publications. Other than the finding that research quality was low and affecting generalisation and transferability, the results also revealed interesting findings which we finally consolidated and integrated to develop two contributions (i) a software development process adoption theoretical framework which provides new insights of understanding software development and (ii) a 3-point guideline for research quality.

Teaching entrepreneurship and startups is a challenging task. Approaches using real or simulated entrepreneurship as a teaching method are also common in startup education. However, as educators and researchers, we typically only observe the outcomes of the startup journey between weekly lectures and other meetings, whereas the actions taken by the student teams can seldom be observed. This makes the process a black box. All valuable learnings, realizations, and big ideas happen in the students' minds, and little evidence exists to say what happened during the course. As a result, we are entirely missing out on the most critical elements of the learning process. To remedy this issue, we propose a new tool for startup education: The Startup Scratch Book. Based on extant literature and our experiences in the area, we have devised this novel approach to learning diaries in startup education. We discuss the specifics of this proposed approach in this paper.
