performed even without that partner. This in turn builds the fear of missing out for the partners who realize that the company has the potential to perform on its own and they want to be part of the project before it is gone. Another strategy used is the “I told you so” strategy through which the company primarily provides consultancy services to their respective partners, who then decide to avoid the advice received. Once they fail, they return to the
company claiming their proposed strategy would have worked better, only to hear an “I told you so” phrase from the consultants. This way, the clients/partners see the added value of the company which intrigues them to come back to them again for the next project. It is worth mentioning that none of the respondents chose profitability as their priority. Profitability, was not even among the top three strategies for those start-ups that chose to include more than
one strategy in their responses. The sampled start-ups prioritize growth over profitability, and one start-up in particular pointed out that for them profitability comes at play some time after six years of operations, that is, after the product is developed, the brand is established, and access to the market is gained. 2. The Role of Branding The literature review provided insight
Into the growing role of branding
for companies in general and for emerging start-ups as well. Although brand building was not the top priority of the majority of start-ups, all of the interviewed start-ups reported that branding plays an important role in their start-up. The majority of them emphasized the crucial role branding has in the overall impact of the company. Below are the major themes extracted from their responses regarding the role of branding. Recognition: The respondents
branding as a mean through which the start-up is recognized and made known to the customer. The respondents argued that branding is everything when it comes to business recognition. Once a brand is created and well-managed, the recognition of the brand increases, and eventually leads to increased sales, since customers nowadays buy on the
basis of the company’s name, which in turn is based on the company’s brand. Further, branding does not only promote recognition among customers, but it also promotes recognition among job-seekers. For instance, one of the employees of a start-up admitted that the first thing which intrigued her was the company’s name and logo, and upon learning the

Applying remote work practices in the IT sector signifies a Driven by the demands of workforce globalization, talent retention, and productivity increase, changing organizational approaches to work have produced results. Still, there are
challenges putting these policies encompassing cybersecurity, work-life balance, and team cohesion as well as more broad ones into reality. Therefore, remote work practices in the IT field show a spectrum of techniques aimed to navigate these challenges, so generating settings suited for creativity, efficacy, and employee enjoyment. The scholarly discussion on
remote work has meticulously noted its benefits and drawbacks, therefore offering understanding of the shifting job dynamics in the digital age. Research indicates that remote work may lead to higher job satisfaction, better productivity, and less running expenses for businesses (Davidescu et al., 2020). Conversely, it also presents possible hazards like isolation, poor communication, and difficulties maintainingAll things considered, the debate
About remote work standards
for IT professionals catches a broad spectrum of rules, concepts, and strategies. It is essential to grasp their dynamic relationship since these elements together guide current practices and future trends in remote work. By implementing a whole strategy that addresses the challenges and makes advantage of the opportunities presented by remote work, companies may design
environments that foster innovation, efficiency, and employee well-being. Negotiating the future of employment in the IT sector as the scene of work shifts will depend on ongoing analysis of remote work policies.Remote work has grown historically from need to strategic benefit.From a contextual requirement to a strategic benefit for businesses all around, remote
work has evolved historically—especially in the information technology (IT) sector. Supported by shifting social values and technological innovations, this road has fundamentally changed the landscape of employment and generated new paradigms of employment highlighting flexibility, digital connectedness, and work-life integration. Originally suggested to help with urban congestion and fuel problems, remote work started in the 1970s with the concept of
Conclusion
telecommuting. But the wide popularity of remote work methods (Oyewole et al., 2024; Shoetan et al., 2024; Raji et al., 2024) resulted from the expansion of digital communication technology and the internet in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This introduction seeks to track the development of remote work from a temporary configuration into a pillar of modern organizational strategy. The digital revolution of the late 20th century marked a
shift in the narrative of far-off work. Many of the challenges first preventing the acceptance of the internet, email, later on cloud computing, and cooperative software were removed with their arrival. By providing a perfect information flow, these technical improvements enabled real-time communication and cooperation regardless of physical location by means of which
Joel et al., 2024; Raji et al., 2024; Ofodile et al., 2024; Remote work therefore became from a fringe benefit to a viable and, sometimes preferred style of operation for many IT workers and businesses (Zangiski, de Lima, and da Costa, 2013). Early in the twenty-first century, remote work grew even more common driven by advances in mobile technology, cybersecurity, and the proliferation of coworking spaces. Especially the IT industry emerged as a front-runner of
remote work, using its technical understanding and digital infrastructure to pioneer ways later adopted across various sectors (Raji et al., 2024; Oyewole et al., 2024). Remote work is also increasingly recognized as a strategic advantage by which businesses may access worldwide talent pools, save overhead expenses, and increase employee flexibility and workplace
