Podnikatelské prostředí Singapuru a jeho potenciál z pohledu českých technologických start-upů

Over the past decade, Singapore has regularly topped the Doing Business rankings as a very business-friendly nation. Therefore, it is often the destination of choice for ICT start-ups if they want to continue developing their product/service, continue to grow, and if the domestic market is not enough. Hence, the main objective of this thesis is to define the strengths and weaknesses of the Singaporean business environment, including the identification of barriers that Czech technology start-ups face when entering the Singaporean market. A secondary objective is to examine the perception of the Singaporean business environment by selected Czech technology start-ups that have experience in this market and to determine whether the theoretical findings correspond with the actual experience of the technology start-ups in question. The first chapter of this thesis defines the term "start-up" and then describes the development of start-ups, their success factors, and the challenges they face. The second chapter describes the methods for assessing the entrepreneurial environment, which are then applied specifically to the Singapore market in chapter three. Finally, the thesis concludes with chapter four, which summarises the findings from qualitative research involving two Czech ICT start-ups.
