| description | Lately, young people have preferred to get a conventional job rather than doing business.
This is because minimum unemployment allows them to choose between o?ers from
many employers. It is also partly due to concerns about bureaucracy and the risk of
sanctions. In addition, young people refuse to deal with things that cause stress: they
do not live to work, but they work to live. But it is a warning – if we want to have Czech
companies in the Czech Republic in twenty years, and if we do not want to be dependent
on multinational corporations, it would be a good idea to fnally start doing something.
Specifc steps that can be taken include reducing administrative barriers and endless
regulation, speeding up a fully electronic business-to-state relationship, and setting
up systematic and e?ective tools to support start-ups both within regional policy and
at universities. This paper aims to map the Czech start-up scene, to contribute to the
understanding of the issue and to point out possible directions for the development of
this new entrepreneurial form. Several scientifc methods were used to write this paper.
The literature review is based on a compilation of scientifc texts. The Czech start-up scene
is mapped by comparing and analysing secondary sources and synthesising knowledge,
supplemented by experts’ comments. The authors have contributed qualitative research
in the form of semi-structured interviews with three start-up entrepreneurs. Deduction
and suggestions are used in the discussion and conclusion. |
