Project development is often a neglected and undermined part of an engineer's degree. Students often do not know what type of projects to undertake, both in terms of industry compatibility as well as their own interests. This book offers some guidelines of how to choose and implement small, medium and large complexity projects during the bachelor's course such that they are both industry-centric and interest-centric for the student. The author has aimed to provide a practical approach for selecting projects all throughout the degree culminating in a software industry ready new age engineer.

Leading with Negotiation Skill - The Untamed Skill is a must-read for anyone who deals with International Business, International Liaisons, and Consultations. One reason for this is that it contains an up-to-date pedagogy of what is negotiation, what are negotiation skills, what are the types of negotiation and much more including the impact of culture etc. on negotiation procedures. The book is a good read for business developers and founders to startups too who face issues closing deals though they ace to get in clients. The book shows clearly that an understanding of the procedure of negotiation and elements of negotiation is central to an understanding of negotiation. The book is organized into a series of chapters glossed with infographics and images for better interaction with the reader. Good negotiators who ace the deals are mentally and emotionally prepared is the key while influencing the reader to excel with negotiation skills. International Negotiation Styles mentioned in the book incorporates skills that make the negotiator competitive to crack international deals irrespective of the language barrier.Short Tales on International Negotiation skills make a person ready to stand and compete with global business faces in the International business world. Don't hesitate to sharpen the skills better and to harp on the inner actor within is also one of the deliverables from the book.

Research and Evidence in Software Engineering: From Empirical Studies to Open Source Artifacts introduces advanced software engineering to software engineers, scientists, postdoctoral researchers, academicians, software consultants, management executives, doctoral students, and advanced level postgraduate computer science students.This book contains research articles addressing numerous software engineering research challenges associated with various software development-related activities, including programming, testing, measurements, human factors (social software engineering), specification, quality, program analysis, software project management, and more. It provides relevant theoretical frameworks, empirical research findings, and evaluated solutions addressing the research challenges associated with the above-mentioned software engineering activities.To foster collaboration among the software engineering research community, this book also reports datasets acquired systematically through scientific methods and related to various software engineering aspects that are valuable to the research community. These datasets will allow other researchers to use them in their research, thus improving the quality of overall research. The knowledge disseminated by the research studies contained in the book will hopefully motivate other researchers to further innovation in the way software development happens in real practice.

The proceedings volume presents selected papers from the International Conference on Sustainability in Software Engineering & Business Information Management: Innovation & Applications (SSEBIM 2022) held in Olten, Switzerland from September 23-24, 2022. It includes research related to sustainability from both a business and technical point of view. From a business perspective, it not only addresses how to make the business operations more sustainable, but also considers factors such as human values, ethics, environment and responsibility of the businesses. From the technical perspective of software development companies, it focuses on sustainability in software engineering ranging from practices, tools, techniques and methods. The contributions reflect how software engineering teams exhibited pro-activeness in their approaches to lead to sustainable development of the software that is of highest quality and reliability.It is intended for a broad audience, including students, researchers and practitioners who work in software engineering and business information management fields.

Innovation Mechanisms in Start-ups: Practice, Strategies and Impacts serves as a practical resource for startups looking for innovating their business models in domestic and global markets. This book's main objective is to describe the innovative business practices adopted by startups during the pandemic, with a special emphasis on value proposition innovation and business model innovation more generally. In order to promote open innovation, this book emphasizes the value of strategic alliances with academic libraries, peer startups, and freelancers. Additionally, using actual startup case studies, it was shown how important technological innovation is for gathering feedback, prototyping, and conducting both secondary as well as primary market research. Startups can utilize the technology evaluation and adoption frameworks as a useful reference when choosing a technology to embrace strategically. The need of regularly experimenting with new approaches, learning from mistakes, and enhancing current processes is also emphasized in this book. The ability to dispel falsehoods, capitalize on technological advancements, and form strategic alliances will be essential for innovation even in times of pandemic. This book links theoretical insights with practical experiences of startups amid the pandemic. With a perfect balance of empirical research and assessment study types, this book is a source of quick knowledge for entrepreneurs, academics and researchers on how to enhance a company's innovative capacities and success rates. The BMI-Pandemic 2.15 model, which is an expanded version of the Odyssey 3.14 model, is presented in this book which highlight 15 guidelines to follow in order to innovate business models in pandemics. This book is suitable for Entrepreneurs, Academicians, Researcher and Technologists.

This book aims to increase the success rates of startups by focusing on value proposition innovation, which is propelled by the involvement of potential consumers as well as other resources such as freelancers and strategic relationships with academia. The author shows how startups who are resource constrained can invest efforts exploring the potential market of their products. The author also explores how global markets can be beneficial for a startup's success, while showing the workarounds in hard-to-access markets. The book investigates gaining knowledge shared by freelancers, customers, and academia, whose involvement can be crucial in supporting value proposition innovation activities such as ideas generation, implementation, and commercialization. Combined, the author leads readers to discover their ability to foster value proposition innovations that result into long term competitive advantage in a highly fluctuating business environment.
