The study is descriptive and empirical and the data was collected through the survey method. The questionnaire was divided into three portions. The first portion of the questionnaire comprised all the demographic questions. The second portion of the questionnaire comprised of the short version of the Psychological Capital scale (PCQ-24) developed by Luthans &Youssef, shorter version 2007 adapted by Ferreira. The third portion of the questionnaire comprised of 39-items Work-life Balance scale developed by Mathew & Panchanatham (2011). The PsyCap scale comprised of four sub-dimensions namely Hope, Efficacy, Resilience & Optimism (HERO). The Work-life Balance scale comprised of five sub-dimensions namely Role Overload, Quality of health, Dependent care, Time management & Support network. Through this study, the author intends to identify the mean scores of all the sub-dimensions of PsyCap and the Work-life balance of entrepreneurs. Cronbach alpha was used to measure the reliability of both scales. Some of the statistical tests used in the study to test the formulated hypothesis were Correlation analysis and Multiple Regression analysis.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125453439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This business has structural characteristics that are different from conventional businesses, and its development process is also considered unique. However, previous studies have mainly focused on established and successful platforms, and have not paid enough attention to the early stages of the process. As a result, scholars assumed that platforms would be built according to a blueprint that clearly stated which side and segment to approach. However, identifying and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities is not a linear process and involves learning under uncertainty and trial and error. In light of the above, this study conducted a longitudinal case study to examine the process of defining the sides and segments approached by Company V, a startup that provides a platform to connect manga (cartoon) artists with readers and companies. Consequently, this study demonstrates that it is essential for platform startups to attract participants, and identify the optimal entry point for the company’s growth steps. In particular, when entering an industry such as the manga industry, where information technology is not widely used, it is possible to build a platform by leveraging technology in challenge areas, based on a deep understanding of the market structure and other companies’ trends. The study also suggests that it is effective to use the existing networks as a foothold, to identify on which side and segment to focus.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122169895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five studies document that consumers judge nonprofit, relative to for-profit, firms more negatively for choosing high-risk ventures even when the risks are linked with high expected returns. Process evidence shows that these patterns occur because consumers view nonprofits as existing in a moral domain, rendering the decision to take risks as morally questionable; by contrast, risk-taking by for-profit companies is not viewed as morally problematic to the same degree. Follow-up studies demonstrate important implications for these findings, including that when for-profit companies operate in a moral domain, they too are penalized for risk-taking. In addition, consumers show a greater decrease in likelihood of financially supporting nonprofits than for-profits after they choose similarly risky ventures. These findings demonstrate that consumers exhibit different risk tolerances for nonprofit versus for-profit firms in ways that can limit innovation and growth in charitable and other morally relevant domains.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114619714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though there has been certain volatility in his prediction but the essence of it still remains intact. After the invention of retail internet, the prospects of technological advancement have only skyrocketed and this can be seen, without doubt in the times of coronavirus pandemic. Due to COVID-19, educational institutions across the world have been suspended and virtual classes have replaced the traditional face to face lectures all over the world. In this current scenario, it seems that this trend is likely to continue and accelerate with time. Law is a subject which has diverse facets, and its intensity starts from the very beginning. Studying law requires immense reading habit, thirst for knowledge, teamwork, research skills, particularly at master's level, where there is special emphasis on research papers and dissertation. This is not possible without teacher-student interaction which provides a scope for immediate feedback and evaluation.This paper evaluates the use of technology and online classes in imparting legal education at master's level. The study captures and examines the perception of a master level law student about online classes. An Online survey has been conducted on 60 students pursuing LLM from Galgotia University. Students have been questioned about the strength and weaknesses of e-learning, ranging from internet glitches, preparedness to designing and effectiveness of learning in online classes. Educational challenges have also been addressed by analyzing how the structure of online education can be improved through one-on-one interaction. A recommendation emanating from this research is that the academic institutions need to explore the advance technology to reach more students more effectively.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125873707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
