The process of developing startups based on management principles

Аннотация

This study explores the role of management principles in supporting and developing startup ecosystems in
Uzbekistan. The introduction highlights the growing significance of startups as a driver of innovative economic growth
amid global technological transformations. Despite numerous initiatives, the knowledge gap lies in the limited integration
of systematic management approaches for ensuring the long-term sustainability of startups. The research adopts a
qualitative analysis of Uzbekistan’s regulatory frameworks, institutional support structures, and practical implementation
models for startup development. The study examines policy reforms, funding mechanisms, and management strategies
applied at different stages — from idea generation to commercialization and diversification.
Findings indicate that strategic planning, resource allocation, risk management, and continuous monitoring form the
foundation for successful startup operations. Results reveal that state-led initiatives, including business incubators,
accelerators, technoparks, and venture funds, have significantly expanded startup opportunities, leading to measurable
outcomes such as 65 funded projects worth 27.6 billion UZS and the creation of 394 jobs in 2024. Moreover, sectoral
diversification in tourism, healthcare, agriculture, and food production underscores the practical impact of managementbased
models.
The implication of this research suggests that applying management principles systematically enhances the resilience
and scalability of startups, fostering an innovative entrepreneurial environment and contributing to national economic
growth.
