Digital entrepreneurship

There is a significant rise in the use of visual content by brands to actively engage and impact consumers in social commerce.
However for brands to successfully use visual content to engage consumers in social commerce, there have to be robust guidelines on visual content may be designed and delivered within the context of social commerce. This research study is aimed at identifying such guidelines, in relation to key consumer behaviour, that guide the application of visual content in social commerce. Creating such an understanding paves way for key recommendations on how brands can effectively use visual content to engage consumers in social commerce.
The research was carried through the in-depth review of contemporary literature related to the subject areas as well as through a survey – in form of a questionnaire and interviews – and case study analysis.
The main findings from the study showed that visual storytelling (applying narrative in the design and delivery of visual content) may significantly enhance the ability of brands to communicate with and engage consumers in social commerce.
This is due to the fact visual storytelling has a positive influence on three crucial elements of visual communication – appeal, comprehension and retention. Moreover, while these crucial elements are generally critical factors in the design and application of visual content, there are indications that within the context of social commerce their application ought to be guided by a hierarchy of importance that places a sequence to these elements as follows – Appeal, retention and comprehension.

The spike in COVID-19 cases all over the world poses a massive impact on various sectors of society. The global economy is no exception, for it has been severely affected by the unprecedented public health crisis leading businesspeople to shutdown commercial establishments and dramatically shifting businesses into digital platforms. Immense challenges brought by the pandemic have turned into great opportunities among entrepreneurs from different parts of the globe. In pursuit of the recovery path, they considered digital tools to be instrumental to surviving the crisis and even thriving in the long term. This study explores drivers and barriers to digital innovations in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) during economic disruptions from the perspective of Filipino young entrepreneurs. Researchers employed a qualitative method for the conduct of in-depth interviews with 46 online entrepreneurs in the Philippines and transcribed them for Inductive Content Analysis to generat...

Digital Entrepreneurship is changing the methods, mode, platform, and artifacts of entrepreneurship. Researchers and policymakers are emphatic about the need for this new breed of entrepreneurs, at the same time the process of how a digital start-up becomes a scaleup is least understood. Though digital entrepreneurship is gathering momentum, no clear guideline or framework is creating confusion and large-scale failure. Despite its significance, studies on Digital Entrepreneurship are limited and the concept is largely under-theorized. The novelty, complexity, and invisibility of digital process and transformative potential of digital technology as well as the commercial value of digital innovation have created digital entrepreneurship a secretive competitive landscape. Conversely incomplete understanding and absence of any formal model of digital entrepreneurship have intuited the necessity of one such model for systematic management of entrepreneurship. This paper is an attempt to develop a framework for understanding the complexities, unpredictability, and probabilistic nature of the activities of various phases of digital entrepreneurship. The lifecycle model provides a guideline for the researchers to visualize the desired outcomes of each phase and figure out what may go wrong in each phase. This lifecycle model will certainly help the researchers and practitioners not only to visualize the process but also to monitor and manage the digital entrepreneurship process and develop befitting action plans. With a clear understanding of the Life Cycle model of digital entrepreneurship, start-ups will be able to organize their actions for the accomplishment of their desired outcomes at each stage of their entrepreneurial journey. Researchers would be able to develop their research plans to find out why so many digital start-ups fail to be scaleup and who fails at what stage and why? Who succeeded, when, where, and how?

In the digital age of migration, Chinese migrant entrepreneurial activities are increasingly undertaken online. Drawing on a case study of e-commerce developed by Chinese marriage-migrant women in Taiwan, this article investigates the digitized and emotional dimensions of entrepreneurship. It examines Chinese women's innovative use of the online social media platform WeChat in developing transnational networks and virtual commercial circuits to achieve their economic goals while adapting to their new host society. It considers the role of the emotions in business formation and in the commercialization of "contested" commodities whose circulations transgress trading rules and borders. This study contributes to the empirical literature on the transformation of migrant entrepreneurship, specifically by diasporic Chinese. Theoretically, the empirical case of digital entrepreneurship among Chinese migrant women invites us to consider the growing use of both virtual platforms and emotions in the making of migrants' commercial activities.

This chapter explores the obstacles and opportunities that digital entrepreneurs encounter when they operate in developing countries. Drawing on the varieties of institutional systems framework and on three interviews (two digital entrepreneurs and one consultant), this chapter chalks out the idiosyncratic challenges and opportunities for digital entrepreneurs operating in a developing context. Our findings indicate that digital entrepreneurs face a weak institutional infrastructure and an environment characterized by corruption that obstructs their operations. These weak infrastructures result in the inaccessibility to necessary start-up funds, the lack of policies and regulations that protect and support e-commerce, a weak digital infrastructure, and to a deficiency in digitally competent and experienced labor capital. At the same time, our findings indicate some opportunities stemming from the unique institutional setting in which digital entrepreneurs operate. The opportunities ...

Many studies proved entrepreneurship as a key factor for economic growth and also for reduction of unemployment. For being a successful entrepreneur, it is very essential to understand all the concepts that are related to entrepreneurship. In order to meet the market competition and achieve the business goal, every entrepreneur should be updated with the changes that occur in customer’s tastes and preferences and also in the market. Sometimes it is necessary to use some modern digital technologies and soft wares to communicate with the customers and also to increase product value. As today’s world is mostly depended on national and multinational technologies, it is essential to include these technologies in the business. In this sense, digital entrepreneurship plays a vital role in empowering an entrepreneur to perform all the activities accurately and effectively. As this is the process of using digital applications, it helps every entrepreneur to increase the market value for his/her product and develop the business both traditionally and technologically. As Information and communication technology (ICT) abilities are important elements of success of a digital enterprise, it is important to know how it helps people to improve their business. This is a basic study which describes digital entrepreneurship in detail. This can enable every individual who involve in business to gain knowledge about digital entrepreneurship.

The focus of this paper was to examine perceptions of succession planning by owners/founders of family businesses and its importance in ensuring the continuity and prosperity of businesses in the WaMunicipality,Ghana. An interview schedule was used to collect data from arandomsample of 205 enterprisesout of 440 family businesses, and these data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicate that majority (94.1%) of owners/founders perceive business planning as an important skill, while the ability to develop a business strategy has a positive impact on succession and leads to continuity.Owners/founders with high level of formal education tend to have positive perception of the importance of succession planning and business continuity as compared with those with lower levels of formal education. Majority of owners/founders perceive that business continuity benefits the founder, the successor, the family and other stakeholders. It is therefore recommended that founders or owners of FOBs should make provision for the education and training of potential successors to facilitate succession for continuity.

What are social media doing to us? And we to them? Drawing on literatures from media studies, sociology, communication, and management, this course invites students to engage in critical analysis of the causes, patterns, and consequences of social media in a global context.  Building on cases from diverse cultures and nations, the course provides a rich comparative perspective. The course has three components.
• We start with major debates on the role of digital communication and media technologies in network society, globalization, and transnationalism.
• In the second part, we focus on how macro social forces and institutions such as state and market shape the development of social media and other new technologies. We explore how social inequalities and cultural differences affect digital divides and inclusions.
• In the third part, we investigate how social and mobile media have facilitated changes in politics, organizations, networks, as well as media and culture.

The course is designed to help students achieve the following goals:
• Recognize various opportunities, challenges, and responses to globalization and technological advancements
• Understand the trajectory and development of social and mobile media
• Understand the complicated interaction between social media and society
• Understand policies and practices that affect social and mobile media   
• Evaluate professional and entrepreneurial opportunities, challenges, and process in the glocalized networked societies

Digital technologies have led to born-digital companies, defined by their highly digitalized value chains, designed at their inception. Born-digital (BD) companies leverage digitalization across their value chains in the internationalization path. However, despite this emergence, very few
empirical studies in international business literature have explained the impact of bricolage in conducting value chain activities and exploiting the internationalization strategy of BD companies.

The present study responds to these omissions of how the digitalization of the value chain activities and the internationalization strategy enhance companies by allowing them to reach customers (users) and partners with available resources and less time. The results indicate that the digitalization of value chain activities facilitates the re-use and mixing of the resources at hand to overcome challenges, innovate solutions, or create new opportunities for international growth, in line with the bricolage theory. Overall, this study contributes to international business literature regarding, specifically, the behaviors of born-digital companies as they strategically approach internationalization efforts.

This study explores the emergence of a new entrepreneurship phenomenon (digital social entrepreneurship) as a result of the collaboration among many agents (N-Helix), given the government's limited capacity to respond to the stakeholders' needs satisfaction related to an exogenous event (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic). Our theory development is based on three ongoing academic debates related to (a) the unrepresentativeness of the stakeholder theory in entrepreneurship research; (b) the emergence of digital social entrepreneurship (DSE) as a bridge between stakeholders' needs, socioeconomic actors, and digital-social initiatives; and (c) the role of N-Helix collaborations to facilitate the emergence of global knowledge-intensive initiatives and the rapid adoptions of open innovations. Our results support our assumptions about the positive mediation effect of DSE in the relationship between N-Helix collaborations and stakeholders' satisfaction. Notably, results show how pandemic has intensified these relationships and how DSE in N-Helix collaborations can generate social impacts globally. Some implications for policy-makers have emerged from our results that should be considered during/post-COVID-19 pandemic.

A seller’s sincerity is important for the viability of his/her business. This claim is substantiated ethnographically through a study of the challenges fashionably veiled designer-entrepreneurs face in Turkey. Their fashionable veil raises suspicion. Their critics claim they are not as devout as they want to appear. The performance of their piety through public-facing social media further nourishes mistrust. Their critics think this is driven by pragmatic calculation rather than religiosity. They respond to this criticism, arguing for the sincerity of their piety and striving to make their businesses work. The ethical dimension in any act of selling, as either reality or expectation, is hence brought to the foreground. Simultaneously, by emphasising the importance of the digital in the proclamation or, on the contrary, trivialisation of faith, a line of thinking that connects sincerity, piety and the material in the discussion of Islam is updated through the addition of the (im)material.

While prior studies have investigated factors, processes and pathways traversed in user innovation and user entrepreneurship within the real world, there is scant attention for user innovation and user entrepreneurship that take place within the virtual world. We report on an exploratory study of a select group of user innovators-entrepreneurs in Second Life, using virtual participant observation and in-depth interviews. Results suggest that the paths traversed by user innovators and user entrepreneurs in the virtual life broadly resemble those in the real life as reported in the literature. Interestingly, our study also suggests that Second Life as a virtual world breeds opportunities leading to entrepreneurial acts in the 'real' world as well as further opportunities in the Second Life. The virtual world itself, as a technological platform, also generates a range of opportunities. We formulate testable propositions and further link our insights to existing research on the drivers and pathways of user innovation and entrepreneurship in the 'real' world (i.e., the role of prior knowledge and networks), Austrian economics theory of entrepreneurial discovery, and creative collective theory.

Objetivo: Compreender o processo de significação e ressignificação que o empreendedor atribui ao novo negócio através das etapas de busca, percepção e interpretação propostas por Daft e Weick (1984) ao longo do tempo.
Design/metodologia/abordagem: Sob uma perspectiva interpretativista, este trabalho se valeu de abordagens qualitativas. Foram utilizadas téc nicas de análise de narrativas, antenarrativas e análise de dados qualitativos sobre entrevistas realizadas com 11 empreendedores digitais em dois momentos diferentes.
Descobertas: as análises sugerem que o empreendedor ressignifica seu negócio com o passar do tempo, provavelmente em função do nível de sucesso do empreendimento. Esta pesquisa corrobora a proposição de Daft & Weick (1984) acerca da existência de um processo cíclico de busca, interpretação e ação que levaria a um contínuo de ressignificações.
Implicações da pesquisa: Para os empreendedores (practioners), este trabalho lança luz sobre as possibilidades de uso das narrativas como recursos para influência e disseminação de significados (sensegiving). Para acadêmicos, este trabalho oferece melhor conceituação do constructo ‘artefato estratégico’, além de avançar na consolidação dos métodos de análise de narrativas.
Originalidade/Valor: O valor dessa pesquisa se dá em fortalecer os métodos de análise de narrativas, além de apresentar um possível caminho para capturar os elementos de ressignificação. Além disso, ao propor um framework de análise e construção de narrativas empreendedoras, este trabalho pode auxiliar pesquisadores e practioners.

Digital entrepreneurship has gotten its eyes around the globe with catalyst that consists of private and public relationships and global free market, the Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) sets its base on Malaysia. Prior to this unique opportunity, this paper explains about the socioeconomic enhancement of the community in Kg. Telaga Papan, Setiu in the state of Terengganu with a test pilot questionnaire. From the data it is concluded by the linear regression model of the factors that taken account for, that the community shows particular interest of the strategic new market driven by digital entrepreneurs.

Research has focused on the ecosystems of forces that influence how organizations pursue opportunities in new industries, nascent markets, and novel technologies. However, there is an emerging, but unstudied, ecosystem supporting entrepreneurial activities in legacy industries, mature markets, and based on (seemingly) obsolete technologies-the analog entrepreneurial ecosystem. To develop a framework to explain this phenomenon and guide entrepreneurs and managers operating in this ecosystem, a theory of the analog entrepreneurial ecosystem is proposed. The theory explains the ecosystem's main components and delineates the forces driving its emergence. The model contributes to research on ecosystems, technology reemergence, and management in mature markets and has implications for organizations pursuing opportunities outside the digital ecosystem and based on legacy products.

E-Entrepreneurship is a traditional concept that already exists in the scenario. But, now the current improvement on e-Entrepreneurship alarms to change and bring in new ideas with latest trends of foresight business leadership named Digital Entrepreneurship. The signature of the fourth Industrial Revolution however has multiple mixtures of Digitization of entrepreneurship that evolves dissimilar proportions of business leadership varied socioeconomic status (SES) factors for an Individual to start a digital venture. As many corporations started doing their business online either by selling goods and services or connecting customers and companies or even customer and customer online for the exchange of refurbished goods with space for negotiation. Such businesses are called digital businesses and the organization that builds such platforms is called digital enterprise. The leadership to hold such businesses in the current era is Digital Entrepreneurship. Here the question is what does digital entrepreneurship, digital enterprise mean and who is a digital entrepreneur. Since digital technologies and societal transformation are being more important in the current economic status. Many digital innovations are being built day by day. Despite its significance, studies in this area are less and the concept is under-theorized. This study aims to fill the gap by analyzing the theoretical framework and understand the growing importance of digital entrepreneurship with opportunities, obstacles and describe the characteristic typology of digital entrepreneurship and digital enterprise in Industry 4.0 and list out the figured reasons for the failure of digital startups. To answer these questions, I adopted some different forms of new business venture types and also referred to the research papers on technology and innovation in entrepreneurship as a theoretical lens; with this, I would like to continue the discussion on critical success factors of Digital Entrepreneurship.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of digital entrepreneurship and the role of innovation ecosystem in its shaping by applying a multilevel perspective on the phenomenon.

The main purpose of this research was to analyze the role of environmental factors on digital entrepreneurship intentions by students of computer science using the theory of planned behavior. In this research, environmental factors were integrated into the planned behavior theory. The statistical population of this study was 483 computer science students in four universities in Hamedan Universities. A sample of 150 students was selected through random sampling method. The required data were gathered by using a questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was verified by a panel of experts and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for its reliability. In order to analyze data, correlation coefficient, multivariate regression and path analysis were used. Results of regression analysis showed that all three motivational variables, namely attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavior control, have a positive meaningful relationship with students’­entrepreneurial intention. Also the control of perceived behavior played the strongest role in this regard. Results also showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the variables like entrepreneurship culture and government policy with the digital entrepreneurship intention variable, but the results indicate that the academic environment does not have a direct effect on the students' digital entrepreneurship intention.

With the pandemic period, there have been differences in online purchasing intention and behavior due to changes in consumers' social lives and consumption habits. The main purpose of this study is to understand the changes in the online shopping attitudes of consumers during the pandemic period and to obtain a model that will provide the intention to purchase online. The data obtained in the study were carried out with a digital questionnaire applied to 329 consumers from different age groups living in Ankara, and the findings obtained were analyzed and interpreted with the SPSS 25.0 package program. In this period, it was determined that consumers' online purchase intentions changed significantly, and product range, ease of use, satisfaction, experience, and innovation positively affected consumers' online purchasing intentions. In this context, suggestions were made to digital entrepreneurs to work more effectively in the digital market after the pandemic period.

This chapter examines the concept of data security in a society increasingly shaped by digital technologies. We show how secure data storage can be optimised regarding digital documentation in the implementation of health-related service offers based on established procedures. Security and privacy of data are therefore particularly important in this subject area since highly sensitive data is stored and processed during health-related online consultations. The advent of blockchain technology provides a valuable opportunity to create trust in digital platforms. After relevant concepts and terms have been clarified, the functionality of the blockchain in general, as well as the different types, will be discussed. From this, options for the use of online consulting are developed and illustrated on the basis of three use cases.

Information, communication, and technology advancements in 21st century encourage startups to innovate and develop their business further. Because it’s an ICT based business which is supported by the
existence of internet, this kind of business starts to become borderless. As a result, the distributions of the products start to become unlimited. The conveniences offered by these advancements invite more ICT based product developers. The positive impact as a result of that such as more new jobs, easier way to access the markets, and also cheaper production cost with guaranteed profits. In addition to that, this of course also becomes an added value to the country because it increases Network Readiness Index and nation’s income from taxes. This research aims to analyze startup’s growth, in addition to its relation with related actors such as government, private sectors, and universities. Analysis on every actor will emphasize on their contribution to startup developments in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta directly or indirectly. In conclusion, there will be an illustration about how big the contributions and how close the
actors are between startups and the three actors.

Through a multi-sited physical and virtual ethnography of Chinese migrant
women’s entrepreneurship in Taiwan, this paper illuminates the role of
digital migrant entrepreneurship in the making of globalisation. In the digital age of gendered migrant entrepreneurship, it challenges the long-lasting dichotomy between ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’ globalisation and
contributes to the theoretical debate about migrant transnational
entrepreneurship, elucidating how capitalism and globalisation can take
multiple forms. Drawing on Chinese women’s migratory biographies and the commercial geographies of the objects they trade between China and
Taiwan, it shows how our global economic system is simultaneously forged by supply-chain capitalism and migrants’ digitalised petit capitalistic practices. Chinese migrant workers firstly manufacture goods whilst working for multinational companies in China, then, after marriage-migration, they commercialise the products in Taiwan via WeChat. Findings illustrate the link between ICTs, migrant entrepreneurship, gendered social networks, and border transgressions in shaping a mutable globalisation.

The report completed in 2014 shows the Mapping of Digital Games Industry in Brazil, and was made by the Group of Studies and Development of the Creative Industry (GEDIGames). This project demonstrated the significant growth of the game sector in the country, pointing to the existence of 133 companies, and highlighting Pernambuco state as the higher growth in the Brazil Northeast region, counting 10 companies that currently develop games. This is probably due to the existence of the Porto Digital, which corresponds to a technological pool that aggregates several companies that develop new technologies. This paper aims to present the impact mapping of the Porto Digital Project on the development of the gaming industry in Pernambuco state, based on the companies installed in the technology park, observing how the development of the area was established by recovering its history and potential as a member of the creative industry in Brazil. A field research study was carried out to bette...
