This paper examines the role played by the entrepreneurial, firm-specific and external environment-related parameters in impacting the competitiveness of Indian high-tech start-ups, considering start-up survival as a milestone and using survival analysis techniques for the analysis. The study uses primary data collected from 175 Indian high-tech start-ups that are headquartered across the country, using a semi-structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews with the top-level management of the sample firms for analysis. Among the firm-related factors, sales and R&D capabilities of the start-ups have shown to be of paramount importance in influencing the competitiveness of high-tech start-ups. Further, among the external environment-specific attributes, the SDP growth in the region is shown to have significant influence on the competitiveness of high-tech start-ups (borderline significant). This paper makes a key contribution to the existing literature by empirically identifying the key entrepreneur-specific, firm-specific and external environment-specific factors of a firm that influence the competitiveness of high-tech start-ups that are in pre-growth stage in a developing economy. The findings of the study will help start-up owners and policy-makers to make adjustments in their policy-making and strategy to enhance the competitiveness of the technology-based startups operating in India.

“…However, the adoption and use of MCS is a recent research phenomenon in the scope of startups (Davila et al, 2015;Samagaio et al, 2018;Crespo et al, 2019). There is also a gap in the PMS literature on startups, which may present particularities in the use of financial and non-financial metrics (Ahn and Kim, 2019), which reinforces the relevance of the research from a comprehensive PMS perspective (Nguyen et al, 2017). Given the above and the need for the creative essence of the startup's founder/managers, it is assumed that: H1.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of comprehensive performance measurement systems (PMS), role clarity and strategic flexibility on the individual creativity of founders/managers of startups. Design/methodology/approach The research population comprises 611 Brazilian startups in the e-commerce, retail and wholesale segments. One owner/manager of each startup was contacted by the survey, obtaining 91 valid responses. For data analysis, symmetric and asymmetric techniques were applied, respectively: partial least squares-structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. Findings The findings show that the comprehensive PMS is an important predictor of individual creativity, role clarity and strategic flexibility. Role clarity has a direct effect on creativity and promotes partial mediation between comprehensive PMS and creativity. Comprehensive PMS and role clarity are of great importance and have high performance in favor of creativity, while strategic flexibility has high performance, but is of low importance. Several causal combinations promote high individual creativity. Practical implications It offers founders/managers an insight into the aspects that are worth of efforts to foster individual creativity in their startup. Originality/value The key contribution of the study is that the comprehensive PMS, which includes financial, non-financial and other measures for product and process innovation, can directly and indirectly (through role clarity) influence individual creativity.
