Conceptual Framework for Collaborative Open Innovation With a Startup Ecosystem
The terms collaboration and startup ecosystem have become key elements within the discourse pertaining to open innovation processes in big corporations and startups alike. Even though the practice as well as the academic use of such terms to describe these forms of collaboration with startup ecosystems has increased over the last five years, little research has been done to precisely define their meaning and characteristics within the context of open innovation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these terms, as well as to examine how they differ from related and often interchanged concepts. By means of a systematic literature review, these definitions are derived, and a foundation for theoretical knowledge is provided. These definitions are expected to facilitate a consensus in the understanding and usage of these terms among academics and professionals.

Thailand's Software Startup Ecosystem
Software startups are currently very popular in Thailand, and existing information reveals an increase in the number of participants and investors in software startup businesses. Moreover, widespread events have been held to showcase the products and services these businesses have contributed. Software startups primarily develop innovations in the form of software produced from limited resources within a limited time. This software must be able to contribute to a sustainable business, and must be adjustable to each business size. Previous research indicates that both attention and emphasis must be placed on the importance of studying software startups in the form of empirical research. This will assist decision making for those who are interested in initiating software startups and those who want to support them. Research has scarcely studied software startups in Thailand, and therefore, we are interested in Thai startups' current situation as well as the startup ecosystem. This study clarifies that software startups in Thailand are defined as newly emerging businesses anticipated to help businesses grow quickly. Each software startup is in search of a different business model, as current software startups in Thailand have been created to help and support particular businesses. However, software startups rarely invent their own unique, exotic business models or apply advanced technologies and research in their startups.

Linking sustainable development to startup ecosystem in India a conceptual framework
Entrepreneurship and innovation are the engines of economic growth and the societal progress (Allen, 2009) Experience evidence that entrepreneurial drive by itself cannot deliver sustainable economic growth and hence, requires the support of an ecosystem that is sustainable and scalable. In spite of the considerable advances and breakthrough in the rise and growth of startups, the number of startups that have attained the status of unicorns in India is not so encouraging thus, underlining the need for a sustainable ecosystem. The 2017 Global Startup Ecosystem Report indicates that several Indian startups struggle for survival and thus a renewed focus on the recent advances and the forces that underpin the startup ecosystem in India assumes significance. Against this background, the paper underscores the need for linking sustainability to the start up ecosystem and proposes a framework with the help of triple bottom line approach to sustainable development.

Startup Ecosystem Maturity and Visualization: The Cases of New York, Tel Aviv, and San Paolo
A healthy startup ecosystem, an environment with a well balanced variety of agents and supporting processes, is crucial for the development of innovative startups. However, not all startup ecosystems are equally developed, and it is difficult to have all the elements of a startup ecosystem in advanced and prolific states, especially due to the fact that startup ecosystems are dynamic and evolve over time. In this chapter, we present a maturity model for startup ecosystems, which is built upon an analysis of three major startup ecosystems Tel Aviv, Sao Paulo, and New York. We also present the visualization of the maturity model enabled by a web based application that provides a user friendly graphical representation of the maturity of a startup ecosystem. The chapter demonstrates that the maturity model, aided by the proper visualization, can serve as a basis for stakeholders in a startup ecosystem to analyze their environment, identify weak spots, and propose policies and practical actions to improve their ecosystem over time.

The Chinese government is moving toward a qualitative growth model in the era of "New Normal," transitioning from the existing quantitative growth model. In line with the transition, since 2015 the Chinese government has been implementing a strategy of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation," which involves building a startup ecosystem in order to solve youth unemployment and create new growth engines. Thanks to the success story of China's BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and these new policies by the Chinese government, the startup entrepreneurship boom in China has grown rapidly, together with an explosive expansion of infrastructure and platforms for startups. To determine whether China's economy can be transformed into an innovative economy, we need to carefully examine and evaluate China's strategy and status of developing the startup ecosystem.

Coral Platform: The Smart Startup Ecosystem Tool
A smart startup ecosystem must own capabilities and information to the accurate allocation of resources among its participants. So, it uses the synergy of partnerships to enhance startups and boost new ventures. The constant evolution of such communities implies an exponential increase in produced data, which can bring essential business insights, despite the involved technical challenges, such as diverse sources, structures, and meanings. To tackle these issues, we are developing the Coral Platform, that joins a repository of data collectors and preprocessors, a flexible dataset, graph models, and ways of visualization.

On the Pragmatics of Requirements Engineering Practices in a Startup Ecosystem
Software startups play an important role to foster innovation, economic growth, and job creation in a region. Startups are likely to increase their odds of thriving if they are embedded in a startup ecosystem. Actors of an ecosystem cocreate value, share resources, and support the prosperous evolution of peers. In recent years, software startups have been the focus of intensive research by the software engineering community. In this paper, we conducted a tertiary study to synthesise literature in the field of requirements engineering in startups. We concluded that there are limited empirical studies reporting an in depth contextual analysis on how software startups perform requirements engineering. In parallel, we conducted a case study of startups based at Digital Port ecosystem. Our empirical results confirm what has been presented by literature that startups adopt requirements practices in a flexible and informal manner. In fact, as novel empirical evidence, we observed that even as startups evolve by acquiring the first paying customers and growing the customer base, requirements practices remain very pragmatic. Our results also reveal how actors of the studied ecosystem interact to support the co evolution of startups.

INDIAN STARTUP ECOSYSTEM ISSUES, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The objectives of a startup are to be one's own boss and to create employment toothers which warrants lot of endurance and sacrifice. Large population with high percentage ofmiddle income group, educated youth with technical background, IT domination, high internetand mobile penetration are some of the drivers that have thrown up opportunities for spreadingstartup revolution in India. The 'Make in India' initiatives and other government schemes havealso given a boost to startups with many individuals entering the fray. Starting a venture is awell planned and disciplined exercise with due consideration of both internal and externalfactors that may impact the sustainability of the venture.

Identifying contradictions in an incumbent startup ecosystem an activity theory approach
Discussion regarding systems that promote innovation, aptly named innovation ecosystems, has been intensifying both in academia and business. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the activity theory as a theoretical framework for conceptualising and studying innovation ecosystems. Using the activity theory, it investigates elements that affect the success and viability of innovation ecosystems formed between startups and incumbent firms, collaborating with an established firm within the context of an open innovation programme.,This study uses an exploratory case research approach and proposes the activity theory as a theoretical background to be used in innovation ecosystem research. Based on this approach, this study draws from interviews and research observations in an innovation ecosystem formed between an established firm and various startups that aim to co develop innovative offerings.,By applying the activity theory tools, this study identifies several contradictions between interacting actors of this innovation ecosystem that can adversely affect the innovation process. Furthermore, it proposes the use of the activity theory as a fitting theoretical lens to study innovation ecosystems.,The novelty of this study is related to the focus on the incumbent startup context for extending the innovation ecosystem literature. Using the activity theory as a viable methodological tool allows us to conceptualise firms as social constructs and hence pinpoint inner characteristics that can affect and shape their interactions and the broader ecosystem. This process is further enhanced by the use of primary data that give unique insights into the inner workings of innovation ecosystems by identifying underlying contradictions.
