ABSTRACT
The goal of the paper is to study what effects can be achieved by guiding and supporting tenants of high-tech business incubators and which benefits we can expect for entrepreneurial ecosystem established after pandemic. Many authors have explored social and economic impact that accelerators and incubators can generate, but we can also detect a certain lack of academic literature when it comes to COVID-19 and post-COVID determinants in this environment. Authors have gone deep into interpretive content analysis of secondary sources in order to shed a light on these observations. Examination of previously available research was conducted;top tier academic literature and many articles on the business incubation management were reviewed and many relevant industry reports were analyzed. The goal is to get a hold of profound understanding of the context and qualitative aspect of the narrative created by existing case studies and academic sources. Therefore the emphasis is on narrative and why conclusions should be approached with this in mind, since generalization is partially limited. Focus of the examination is mainly oriented towards high-tech startup business incubators and their contribution to different functions in society. New context created by pandemic dictates new business models, creative spin on traditional frameworks and innovative practices, which are particularly significant for accelerators that nurture high-tech startups. It can be concluded that sustainable governance of incubators can lead to development of entrepreneurial skills and mindset, creation of modern and innovative solutions and business models and progress of society in general. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
Background: COVID-19 presented a unique scenario among children, specifically all over the world. The children had decrease outdoors activities and learning times, increased use of electronic gadgets and changes in sleep patterns. These altered behavior patterns of children directly influenced their behavior in the dental operatory. This coupled with the stringent protocols of COVID-19, made the behavior management of children a tedious task. However, as they say that necessity is the mother of all inventions, the pediatric dentist took this time to evaluate newer methods of behavior management and modified old strategies with newer modifications. Aim: The main aim of this study was to observe the modifications in behavior management strategies among pediatric dentists in the post-COVID-19 era while managing the child in dental operatory. Materials and Methods: Four hundred pediatric dentists were mailed a questionnaire consisting of 24 open and closed-ended questions consisting of personal data, professional information, and questions regarding various behavior management techniques used by them in pre- and post-COVID-19 era. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 26.0, IBM, and a comparison of frequencies of categories of variables with groups was made using Chi-Square test and McNemar test. Results: The results showed that there were statistically highly significant changes in behavior management strategies pre- and post-COVID-19 scenario with P < 0.01. Conclusion: Conventional techniques like Tell-Show-Do were popular in both pre- and post-COVID-19 times with minor modifications in approach, but conscious sedation and distraction techniques were evaluated to have gained more popularity in the post-COVID-19 times along with exploration of new novel techniques.
