The article investigates the impact of venture capital investment and investment syndication on enterprise lifecycle and success using the exit history of venture capital backed companies in Australia. It is observed that the venture capital backed companies tend to outperform those which are not while companies receiving syndicated venture capital investment tend to outperform the other venture capital backed companies. Based on the classic venture capital investment theory, we argue that venture capitalists essentially engage in superior venture selection through pre-investment screening and contribute to entrepreneurial development through post-investment monitoring and value creation. We then empirically investigate the lifecycle of the Australian venture capital backed companies from company formation to first venture capital financing round to exit. Survival duration of the ventures, investment growth and exit status are specifically analysed to capture the lifecycle. The findings show that the survival duration prior and post venture capital investment, venture capital investment growth in successive rounds and investment syndication increase the probably of success for the ventures.

The article is devoted to the current typification of country-regional models, which is based mainly on criteria for the scale and structure of venture financing, the degree of development of national financial markets, the level of concentration of bank capital and participation of banks in corporate sector management, the availability of venture capital financing. structures, share of bank capital in venture financing of investment projects, share of corporate sector in financing of venture funds, tupenya of mergers and acquisitions, the protection of minority investors and the concentration of ownership in the real economy. The criteria of classification of country-regional models of venture financing of innovative projects that cannot fully reflect its impact on the structural dynamics of national and global innovation development and should be supplemented by a number of additional criteria are considered. It is also the market model most widely used in the Anglo-Saxon countries. The presence of the best international business schools in the world is also a major competitive advantage of the market model of venture financing for innovation; deep cooperative links between universities, government laboratories and private companies. The role of the state in supporting the venture industry is analyzed, since in the market model it consists in direct investment of state funds into innovative companies (ie participation in capital) and high-tech programs and projects, as well as implementation of guarantee programs for the development of venture activity and creation of proper regulatory, organizational-economic, financial-investment and credit-tax conditions of its support. The strategic goal is most realized today in countries with a market model of venture financing, where it has long proven its high efficiency as a significant source of innovative development. And, the deepening of the processes of technoglobalism gives the venture business a powerful impetus for development, transforming it in accordance with the impact of global economic trends and stimulating the scale-up and diversification of the regional and sectoral-sectoral structure of venture capital investments.

The Swiss Armed Forces (SAF), as part of a democratic system, depends on legitimacy. Democracy, legitimacy and the public are closely connected. In the public sphere the SAF need to be visible; it is where they are controlled and legitimated by the citizens, as part of a deliberative discussion in which political decisions are communicatively negotiated. Considering this, the meaning of political communication, including the SAF’s communication, becomes obvious as it forms the most important basis for political legitimation processes. Social media provide a new way for the SAF to communicate and interact directly with the population. The SAF’s social media communication potentially brings it closer to the people and engages them in a dialogue. The SAF can become more transparent and social media communication may increase its reputation and legitimacy. To measure the effects of social media communication, a survey of the Swiss internet population was conducted. Based on this data, a structural equation model was defined, the effects of which substantiate the assumption that the SAF benefits from being on social media in terms of broadening its reach and increasing legitimacy values.
