Abstract:
Research on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D), now commonly referred to as digital development, has faced challenges in effectively engaging with marginalized communities at the base of the pyramid (BoP) and aiding practitioners in achieving their developmental goals. Most research conducted in this field fails to address the needs of the “missing” beneficiaries or those who live on the fringes of society. To address these inadequacies, a critical review of the literature and extensive engagement with practitioners from around the world has led to the development of the digitally-enabled-social-intermediation (DESI) framework. This framework offers insights for future researchers to examine how digital technologies can be leveraged to achieve developmental objectives by and for the beneficiaries, enabling the marginalized to access global markets and engage beyond local boundaries. By utilizing the DESI framework, future research can explore relevant theories and develop research questions that focus on the implications of digital development for BoP beneficiaries, leading the field towards a deeper understanding of the needs and challenges of marginalized communities.

Abstract:
Research in Management and Organization Studies (MOS) has been increasingly concerned with issues of social relevance beyond economic performance narrowly construed. However, contextualizing academic research within a broader consideration of its social roles raises important considerations around the design, conceptualization and execution of research. In this intervention, I examine some of the issues that are coming to the forefront of concern in MOS and the implications of these issues across different parts of the research process. The result of taking these implications into account is hoped to be a more reflexive, socially participative, and dialogic research agenda that is aware of its diverse stakeholders and understands its goals in relation to the wider social good.

“Startup Acceleration: An Empirical Analysis of Accelerator Programs in Japan”
https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/keieijournal/50/0/50_59/_article/-char/ja
Abstract:
Business creation through the founding of new firms can drive significant economic growth, just as business creation by established firms can. Hence, fostering startups is indispensable for economic development. In Japan, since the beginning of the 2010s, much attention has been paid to startups, and their business environment has changed dramatically. One of the most distinctive changes is the emergence of accelerators, which originated in the United States in the 2000s and support startups in multiple ways. In response to the growth of the practical interest in accelerators, academic research on this subject has been accumulating in recent years. However, prior research fails to find consistent results regarding how accelerators aid the growth of startups and how they influence startup performance. This inconsistency implies that different characteristics of accelerators may have different influences on startups; in fact, recent research suggests that accelerators are heterogeneous rather than homogeneous in various dimensions. In this article, we focus on accelerator experience as one such characteristic and examine its role in the growth of startups. Specifically, through an empirical analysis using data from 38 accelerators in Japan, we hypothesized and found that the effect of accelerator experience on the amount of funding raised by startups participating in the accelerator program in the year after the end of the demo day is positive only for early-stage startups that had not yet raised sufficient funds before participating in the program. This result implies that accelerator programs are not necessarily effective across all stages of startups because the programs may be specialized for specific stages. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first study that systematically analyzes accelerator programs in Japan; it contributes to the literature by clarifying the role of accelerator experience in the development of startups.
