“…Finally, in the educational arena, learners have more freedom to independently seek knowledge and manage their own learning [9]. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [10] has noted the significance of the Internet in boosting overall economic production in four domains of expansion: commercial and investment networks and skilled labor movement; experiments in new business and technological models by new companies and entrepreneurs; maximum use of limited resources, such as labor, investment, and skills; and investment in innovations for economies that maximize the use of technology. In addition, the Internet offers opportunities to access information, connect with other individuals and businesses, and open new markets.…”

This research aimed to 1) define sources of meaning in technopreneurs’ commercialization research process, 2) establish the common features of technopreneurs’ commercialization research process, and 3) construct a grounded theory of technopreneurs’ sources of meaning and commercialization research process. The study employed a qualitative ground theory approach to explain the phenomena and develop theoretical conclusions. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews with 15 technopreneurs using theoretical sampling. The interviews used open-ended questions, and the resulting data were analysed via analytic induction to define concepts and construct the grounded theory. The results indicated that technopreneurs elicited sources of meaning through the commercialization research process, which were categorized into three features of idea development with passion, integrated business model development, and innovative and technological business networking. The commercialization research process includes eight stages: 1) business opportunity assessment, 2) technopreneurial mindset and passion development, 3) technology assessment and exploitation, 4) co-research and application to new product development, 5) technopreneurship incubation and business networking, 6) business planning for innovation commercialization, 7) continuous product improvement, and 8) sustainable technopreneurship and development. Finally, this research constructed theoretical conclusions, discussing and suggesting approaches for improving technopreneurs’ commercialization research process and future research directions.

The economic costs of Internet shutdowns are far-reaching and widespread, and span beyond the simple disruption to communication networks that are reliant on access to the Internet. Existing work on the impacts of the Internet shutdowns does not extensively exploit the fact that they can have adverse effects on the local economy in terms of output, employment, and investments. There is a lack of rigorous economic analysis of the impacts of shutdowns that can be more broadly applied to specific regions that account for variations in the intensity (or type) of shutdowns, as well as go beyond providing broad GDP cost estimates which may be misleading. This paper aims to bridge this gap by providing an econometric approach to estimate the impact of Internet shutdowns on GDP, employment, and foreign direct investment using panel data on 92 countries. We show that a point increase in the likelihood of an Internet shutdown was statistically significantly associated with a 15.6 percentage point reduction in the GDP per capita on average and every additional day of an Internet shutdown costs $86.58 per person on average.
