“…Tautological (procedural) interpretation arises from the very technological sciences; and that is the reason I refer to it as tautological 1 . This perspective has been supported by many authors published in technological journals 2 (Amini et al 2014;González-Sánchez 2013;Kildienė et al 2014;Klovas et al 2013;Kracka, Zavadskas 2013;Jakimavičius, Burinskienė 2013;Samuelson, Björk 2013).…”

The article deals with issues of technologies in the environment of creative economy and creative society, mostly focusing on the following topics: 1) invasion of technologies, which is accompanied by technical illiteracy or simplification of intellection presupposed by a certain technique (e.g. computers); 2) new technologies emerge in the environment dominated by consumption in order to boost consumption; 3) political, media and communication technologies are intertwined to the extent that allows us to speak about the technologized society; 4) technologies are inseparable from creative activities: on the one hand, development of technologies needs creativity, on the other hand, every branch of creative industries needs certain technologies; 5) technologic development is conditioned by their syncretism, i.e. their ability to serve the art (technē) of life and creative intentions; 6) in the creative society, happiness does not depend on constantly upgraded (i.e. consumed) technologies but is rather possible in spite of them; 7) unlimitedness is the greatest limitation of global technologies: unconnected with any existential region, they billow in the wind of ever newer technologies.

“…Recent studies (Amorós et al 2013) reveal that entrepreneurship is very important for a country's competitiveness and development because entrepreneurs create new businesses and in turn these generate new jobs, more competition, and may even increase productivity through innovation. The same opinion is shared by Gonzalez-Sanchez (2013) who considers that innovation and entrepreneurial activities have become increasingly important elements for economic growth and are also decisive factors in a country's level of development. In their study on European countries they have found that the effects of innovation and entrepreneurial activity tend to be more positive for the economy of those countries when the economic scenario worsened.…”

To increase competitiveness, a country has to outperform its competitors in terms of research and innovation, entrepreneurship, competition, and education. In this paper, we aim to test the relationship between the quality of entrepreneurial activity and the economic competitiveness for the European Union countries by using panel data estimation techniques. Our research considers a sample of 28 EU countries over the period 2011–2017. For the empirical investigation we apply panel data regression models. The results obtained show that business, macroeconomic environment and the quality of entrepreneurship are significant determinants of economic competitiveness of EU countries. Thus, we identify significant positive relations between innovation rate, inflation rate, FDI and economic competitiveness, and significant negative relations between expectations regarding job creation, tax rate, costs and competitiveness. Our study completes the literature by analyzing the relationship between the quality of entrepreneurship and the competitiveness of countries, for an extensive sample formed by all the 28 countries members of the European Union for a period of seven recent years.

“…Furthermore, a growing body of entrepreneurship research is pointing to the role of 9 infrastructures in the formation of business opportunities (Audretsch, Heger, & Veith, 2015;Baumol, 2010;Cumming & Johan, 2010;González-Sánchez, 2013;Ramoglou & Tsang, 2016).…”

Unlocking value from machines: business models and the industrial internet of things

In this article we argue that the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) offers new opportunities and harbors threats that companies are not able to address with existing business models. Entrepreneurship and Transaction Cost Theories are used to explore the conditions for designing nonownership business models for the emerging IIoT with its implications for sharing uncertain opportunities and downsides, and for transforming these uncertainties into business opportunities. Nonownership contracts are introduced as the basis for business model design and are proposed as an architecture for the productive sharing of uncertainties in IIoT manufacturing networks. The following three main types of IIoT-enabled business models were identified: (1) Provision of manufacturing assets, maintenance and repair, and their operation, (2) innovative information and analytical services that help manufacturing (e.g., based on artificial intelligence, big data, and analytics), and (3) new services targeted at end-users (e.g., offering efficient customization by integrating end-users into the manufacturing and supply chain ecosystem).
