Abstract

The chemical and pharmaceutical industries, while traditionally dominated by large corporations, have seen a rise in creative startups that introduce innovative products, technologies, and business models. These startups often face unique challenges due to high barriers to entry, regulatory constraints, and the need for substantial investment in research and development. However, they also possess distinctive advantages, such as flexibility, agility, and the ability to drive innovation. This research aims to conduct a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis of creative startups within the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, to better understand the factors that influence their success and sustainability. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative case studies with quantitative data from industry reports and surveys. The findings indicate that while these startups often excel in innovation and product differentiation, they struggle with scaling, navigating regulatory challenges, and securing funding. Despite these challenges, opportunities exist in niche markets, partnerships with established firms, and emerging trends in sustainable practices and biotechnology. The study concludes that creative startups in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors can succeed by leveraging their strengths in innovation and collaboration while addressing weaknesses through strategic investment and regulatory compliance.

Abstract

The culture within a company is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing its overall performance, particularly in startups where innovation, adaptability, and employee engagement are crucial to success. While numerous studies have explored the relationship between company culture and organizational outcomes, limited research has focused specifically on the financial performance of startups. This research aims to examine the influence of company culture on the financial performance of startups, identifying key cultural elements that drive profitability, growth, and long-term sustainability. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from financial performance metrics of 50 startups with qualitative insights gathered through interviews with founders and key employees. The findings suggest a strong correlation between positive company culture—characterized by open communication, employee empowerment, and a collaborative environment—and higher financial performance. Startups with a culture of innovation and continuous learning tend to achieve greater revenue growth and profitability, while those with hierarchical and rigid cultures face challenges in scaling. The study concludes that fostering a supportive, flexible, and innovative company culture is essential for startup success, particularly in fast-paced and competitive industries. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intangible factors that drive financial outcomes in startups, offering valuable insights for entrepreneurs seeking to enhance both organizational culture and financial performance.

Abstract

The rise of digital platforms has transformed the way creative content is produced, shared, and consumed, opening up new avenues for content creators to monetize their work. However, despite the rapid growth of digital content, challenges persist in understanding the most effective strategies for monetization. This research aims to explore the various monetization models used by content creators on digital platforms, focusing on case studies across YouTube, Patreon, Instagram, and TikTok. The goal is to identify key factors that contribute to successful content monetization and to analyze the potential for these models to be applied across different types of creative content. A qualitative research approach was used, with in-depth case studies of five content creators from various creative fields, including music, visual arts, and writing. Data were collected through interviews, content analysis, and platform performance metrics. The findings indicate that a combination of audience engagement, consistent content production, and platform-specific strategies (such as ads, subscriptions, and merchandise) were critical to successful monetization. Additionally, creators who diversified their revenue streams were more likely to achieve long-term financial sustainability. The research concludes that the future of creative content monetization lies in the development of personalized, audience-centric models and the integration of emerging technologies like AI and blockchain. These findings provide valuable insights for content creators seeking to optimize their monetization strategies in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Abstract

The emergence of the metaverse has opened up new possibilities for businesses, entrepreneurs, and consumers, reshaping the way industries operate and interact with their audiences. As the virtual world expands, new business opportunities have emerged, allowing entrepreneurs to create innovative products, services, and experiences in entirely digital spaces. However, the potential of the metaverse for entrepreneurship remains underexplored. This research aims to examine how the metaverse offers new business opportunities and challenges for entrepreneurs in various sectors. The study utilizes a qualitative research design, conducting in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs and industry experts who are actively engaging with the metaverse. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to identify key trends, business models, and challenges faced by startups in virtual environments. The findings reveal that the metaverse provides entrepreneurs with access to a global market, greater consumer engagement, and new forms of monetization through virtual goods and services. However, challenges such as technical barriers, user adoption, and regulatory concerns persist. Entrepreneurs leveraging the metaverse tend to adopt business models that include virtual real estate development, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and immersive experiences. In conclusion, the metaverse presents significant business opportunities, but entrepreneurs must navigate various challenges related to technology, market dynamics, and consumer behavior.

Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical force for addressing complex global challenges. However, the long-term sustainability of these ventures remains a significant hurdle. A central debate within the sector concerns the efficacy of its two primary funding paradigms: traditional grant-based philanthropy, which prioritizes social outcomes, and market-driven impact investing, which demands both social and financial returns. This research provides a rigorous comparative analysis of impact investing and philanthropic funding models. It specifically investigates how each model distinctly influences the long-term operational and financial sustainability, scalability, and mission integrity of established social enterprises. A qualitative, multiple case study methodology was employed. The study analyzed a purposively selected sample of (n=12) mature social enterprises, stratified into two cohorts: six funded primarily by philanthropy and six funded primarily by impact capital. Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with founders/CEOs and longitudinal analysis of organizational reports and financial statements. The findings indicate that philanthropic funding is essential for early-stage risk-taking and deep-impact programming but often correlates with restricted growth and long-term funding dependency. Conversely, impact investing successfully drives operational discipline and scalability. This model, however, introduces significant pressures that increase the risk of “mission drift” as enterprises prioritize financial benchmarks over core social objectives. Neither funding model is unilaterally superior. The research concludes that long-term sustainability in social entrepreneurship is not an “either/or” proposition. It is best achieved through a strategically phased, hybrid financial ecosystem that leverages philanthropy for mission-critical capacity-building and impact investing for scaling proven, market-based solutions.

Abstract

The rise of creative-preneurship in the local coffee sector, exemplified in Indonesia, presents a critical managerial challenge: the transition from passion-driven ventures to scalable, profitable enterprises. Many founders fail to navigate this “passion-to-profit” transition, often due to a “founder-centric bottleneck.” This study aims to identify, analyze, and model the effective entrepreneurial management strategies that differentiate high-growth, creative-led coffee shops from low-growth or stagnant ventures. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was employed, analyzing a purposive sample of 30 Indonesian coffee shops. This involved a comparative analysis of high-growth (N=15) and low-growth (N=15) ventures using quantitative financial and operational surveys and 45 in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings reveal a stark divergence: high-growth firms averaged 45.2% CAGR and 25.1% employee turnover, versus 6.1% CAGR and 78.4% turnover for low-growth firms. Qualitative analysis identified “Formalized Creative Systems” and “Decentralized Leadership” as key success strategies. Inferential analysis confirmed “Formalized Creative Systems” as the strongest predictor of successful scaling (\beta = 2.14, p < 0.01). Scaling a creative-preneurial venture is contingent upon the founder’s ability to systematize their creative vision. This research provides the Scalable Creative-preneurship Framework (SCF), an empirically-validated model for resolving the “art-commerce” paradox.

Abstract

The fashion industry is a primary global polluter, characterized by a linear “take-make-dispose” model that generates enormous textile waste. While the Circular Economy (CE) presents a viable sustainable alternative, the specific business models (BMs) for CE start-ups in this sector remain under-researched. Understanding their unique operational strategies, barriers, and success factors is critical for industry-wide transformation.  This study investigates the innovative business models employed by circular economy start-ups in the sustainable fashion industry. It aims to identify and analyze the key strategies these enterprises use to reduce textile waste while balancing environmental impact with commercial viability. A qualitative, multiple case-study methodology was adopted. The research analyzed ten (n=10) prominent circular fashion start-ups across Europe. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with founders (n=15) and analysis of internal documents (business plans, impact reports), then coded using a framework based on circular business model archetypes. The findings reveal that successful start-ups integrate multiple circular strategies, primarily “resource recovery” (upcycling, recycling) and “slowing the loop” (rental, repair services). Key innovations were identified in value proposition (marketing sustainability as a premium) and value capture (monetizing waste streams). Significant barriers include scaling reverse logistics and overcoming consumer resistance to non-linear consumption patterns. Circular economy start-ups are essential innovators, but their success demands more than novel design. Their business models require systemic innovation in logistics and robust consumer education. This study concludes that a supportive policy ecosystem is essential for these models to scale and effectively challenge the linear fashion paradigm.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted Bali’s tourism-based economy, forcing rural tourism villages (desa wisata) to explore innovative recovery strategies. The emergence of virtual tourism offers a transformative model that integrates digital technology with social entrepreneurship to sustain community livelihoods and promote cultural preservation. This research aims to analyze virtual tourism as a social entrepreneurship framework that supports economic revitalization, empowerment, and sustainability in Bali’s tourism villages. The study employs a qualitative descriptive design using case studies from selected villages that have implemented virtual tourism platforms between 2021 and 2023. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with local entrepreneurs, community leaders, and tourism officials, complemented by documentation and online content analysis. The findings reveal that virtual tourism fosters digital inclusion, diversifies income streams, and strengthens social capital through participatory management and local innovation. The model promotes inclusive economic recovery by enabling small-scale entrepreneurs to market cultural experiences globally while maintaining environmental and social ethics. The research concludes that virtual tourism represents an adaptive, community-driven approach to post-pandemic resilience, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Bali’s vision of sustainable cultural tourism.

Abstract

The environmental “attitude-action gap” persists, as most “green apps” fail to motivate users or achieve long-term financial sustainability. This study aims to design, develop, and test a mobile game framework that bridges this gap by integrating behavioral psychology with a sustainable social entrepreneurship model. Design-Based Research (DBR) approach was used, culminating in a 6-week, mixed-methods pilot study (n=500). Data was collected via in-game analytics, pre/post-test surveys (Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale, PEBS; Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, IMI), and qualitative interviews. The intervention yielded strong engagement (28.1% Wk6 retention) and a statistically significant increase in self-reported Pro-Environmental Behaviors (PEBS) (p < .001, Cohen’s d = 0.82). High intrinsic motivation (4.4/5.0 IMI) was observed, with ‘Social Relatedness’ (? = .45) being the strongest predictor of retention. The B2C social enterprise model was validated., when co-designed as a social enterprise, is empirically validated as an effective and sustainable framework for motivating PEBs. The model successfully bridges the attitude-action gap by prioritizing social connection.

Abstract

Waste Bank Social Enterprises (WBSEs) are crucial for addressing urban waste challenges in Indonesia but struggle with scalability and financial sustainability. Many fail to move beyond micro-scale operations, limiting their social impact. This study identifies the business model characteristics that enable WBSEs to sustainably scale. It analyzes the evolutionary process of their business models over time. A 36-month longitudinal, mixed-methods study was conducted on twelve urban Indonesian WBSEs. We combined quantitative performance metrics with 72 semi-structured interviews to analyze their scaling trajectories. Findings reveal a stark divergence. Most WBSEs stagnated, trapped by a precarious aggregation-only model. The Rapidly Scaling enterprises were universally differentiated by a strategic pivot: adopting value-adding processing. This transformation allowed them to exit the low-value commodity trap and secure stable, high-value industrial contracts. Sustainable scaling is contingent upon a fundamental business model transformation from a passive collector to an active producer. This evolution from a community project to a market-integrated social enterprise is essential for financial resilience and amplifying social impact.
