Abstract

The topic of this article is "Theoretical aspects of the concept start-up in the literature". The topicality of startups is growing every year, so research of start-up development and definition is also expanding. The aim of the research is to study the main theoretical aspects of start-ups in the literature. There are a large number of different definitions of start-ups in the literature, where each author offers an interpretation of the concept according to his or her point of view. In the article, the author reviews the definitions of the concept of startups available in the scientific literature. Definitions from different authors were analyzed according to keywords. Novelty of the research - by analyzing the information available in the literature, a definition of the term “start-up” developed by the author has been created. Two studies were conducted in the article - one qualitative and the other quantitative. The first study summarized short definitions of a start-up, listed the authors and keywords, and gathered information and conclusions. The definitions are presented in ascending order, starting with the oldest, with a time period between 1976 and 2021. The second study analyzes the numerical indicators of the keywords “Start up”, “Start up business”, “Start up model”, “Business model”, “Entrepreneurship” and draws conclusions. The data collection period of the research is December 2021.
