It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).

The results are packaged in the Greenfield Startup Model (GSM), which explains the priority of startups to release the product as quickly as possible, and the need to shorten time-to-market, by speeding up the development through low-precision engineering activities.

The initial findings show that different software startups make different types of pivots related to business and technology during their product development life cycle, which are triggered by various factors including negative customer feedback.

It is proposed that early contract-based activities could be transformed into a long-term partnership by adopting a startup boundary spanner's role, establishing an inter-personal relationship and maintaining a mutual commitment.

The results indicate that software developers are a slightly happy population, but the need for limiting the unhappiness of developers remains, and 219 factors representing causes of unhappiness while developing software are identified.

The behaviour theory of entrepreneurial firms is applied to understand the root-cause of some software startup challenges and implies that effectual entrepreneurial processes might require a more suitable product development approach than the current state-of-practice.

This paper will focus on how to build and set up a test harness to gather empirical data from Companies and how to store these data together with demographical and financial data from the PROFF-portal in the Entrepreneurial Data Warehouse (from now called the EDW).

The first results from a study exploring the consequences of the unhappy developers are presented, and it is predicted that the classification scheme identified will spawn new happiness studies linking causes and effects and can act as a guideline for developers and managers to foster happiness at work.

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…
