身在黑客松好創業? 黑客松的創業活動以及創業網絡

Creating Ventures through Hackathons? A Study on the Entrepreneurial Activities and Networks of Hackathons in Taiwan

指導教授 : 陳良治

摘要


近年來隨著資通訊技術的蓬勃發展,許多新型態的創業活動產生。意識到此現象,故本研究以黑客松這個風靡一時的創新活動作為探討對象,去理解近年來的暫時性群聚的協作活動對於創業所產生的影響。同時,本研究也試圖去回應近年來的有關於創業元素、創業活動以及創業家精神等理論,並以此為基礎,去探討黑客松如何影響創業。據此,本研究透過對多場不同種類的黑客松活動進行參與式觀察,並且針對不同創業階段參與黑客松的創業家進行訪談,以利於理解創業家與黑客松活動間的關係。   透過以上的研究資料本研究發現,黑客松能夠聚集許多幫助創業的行動者和資源,並且透過限時的協作與開發產品的過程,讓聚集於此的行動者,如參賽者、廠商以及業師等產生緊密的互動。這樣的互動過程不但有利於比賽中的產品開發,甚至能夠激勵潛在的創業家在賽後繼續創業。更重要的是,透過黑客松所產生的創業網絡,創業家能夠在賽後持續獲得這些行動者所擁有的創業資源。此外,創業家還能能夠透過此網絡,去接觸更多黑客松以外的行動者,以獲取資金或市場等創業中所需的資源。然而,黑客松雖能幫助創業,但本研究認為創業家仍需搭配其他活動,才能獲得各種面向的創業資源。

In recent years, with the development of information and communication technology (ICT), many new entrepreneurial activities emerged. Realizing the phenomenon, this study aims to explore new types of activities and spaces that would influence people to start new businesses. In this case, this study takes hackathon as the research target, where players, firms and mentors gather in a certain venue and use ICT to develop products in a few days. Through hackathon, this study tries to understand how such an event leads players to become entrepreneurs or to help their new start-ups. Based on literature related to entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial elements and entrepreneurial activities, this study uses participatory observation in different kinds of hackathons and interviews entrepreneurs who have joined hackathons in their different entrepreneurial stages.   According to this study, hackathons bring talents and key actors together to help and encourage entrepreneurs to establish their businesses through collaborations and product developments within constrained time, which enables close interactions between participants. Most importantly, entrepreneurs may extend and broaden their access to the entrepreneurial resources like funding and social connections provided by the hackathon networks. However, it is also noted that entrepreneurs still need to combine participations in hackathons with their extra-event activities so as to obtain other critical entrepreneurial resources
