An analytical model is developed for the startup transient of asymmetrical flat-plate and diskshaped heat pipes. The model solves the proper transient heat conduction equations for the heat pipe wall and liquid-wick regions. A quasi-steady state, pseudo three-dimensional approximation is used for the vapor transi’ent behavior. The heat transfer within the wall and liquid-wick regions is coupled...

When startup innovation involves a potentially disruptive technology – initially lagging in the predominant performance metric, but with a potentially favorable trajectory of improvement – incumbents may be wary of engaging in cooperative commercialization with the startup. While the prevailing theory of disruptive innovation suggests that this will lead to (exclusively) competitive commerciali...

Abstract It’s no secret that the commercial application of NLP technologies has exploded in recent years. From chatbots and virtual assistants to machine translation sentiment analysis, are now being used a wide variety applications across range industries. With increasing demand for can process human language, investors have been eager get piece action. In this article, we look at startup fund...

We explore the role of founding teams in accounting for post-entry dynamics startups. While entrepreneurship literature has largely focused on business founders, we broaden this view by considering as both founders and early joiners. investigate idea that success a startup may derive from organizational capital is created at firm formation inalienable team itself. To test hypothesis, exploit pr...
