Digital Entrepreneurship: Toward a Digital Technology Perspective of Entrepreneurship
探讨数字技术如何改变创业过程中的不确定性,提出数字创业研究应明确理论化数字技术相关概念,并以此丰富现有创业理论。
New digital technologies have transformed the nature of uncertainty inherent in entrepreneurial processes and outcomes as well as the ways of dealing with such uncertainty. This has raised important questions at the intersection of digital technologies and entrepreneurship—on digital entrepreneurship. We consider two broad implications—less bounded entrepreneurial processes and outcomes and less predefined locus of entrepreneurial agency—and advance a research agenda that calls for the explicit theorizing of concepts related to digital technologies. In articulating the promise and value of such a digital technology perspective, we consider how it would build on and enrich existing entrepreneurship theories.
