“…The article of Shafigullina et al (2020) analyzes the state of entrepreneurship as a whole in terms of a number of indicators, including the ratio of early‐stage entrepreneurs (start‐up entrepreneurs and owners of new enterprises) and established entrepreneurs. The authors (Shafigullina et al, 2020) consider the impact of digital technologies on business, the role and importance of digital technologies in the process of supporting small and medium‐sized businesses in the context of the Russian economy. In Veselovsky et al (2019), the authors propose a digital business maturity model and present evidence of the existing relationships between the corporate financial performance of a company and the level of its digital maturity.…”

The aftermath of the pandemic has sparked a deep global economic downturn and a significant rethinking of business technology. Digital transformation processes have intensified, which is reflected in the development of global supply chains. The purpose of this study is to conduct a descriptive comparative analysis of the processes of redistribution of economic resources and assess the processes of digital transformation of society and integration into world supply chains on the example of Russia. This study is based on empirical data obtained as a result of collecting and processing statistical information from various public domain works. To achieve the objectives of the study, indicators such as the logistics performance index, the ICT development index, the digital economy and society index and the digital life index were considered. Among the main changes in the structure of economic resources in a digital society, one can single out: a decrease in the role of natural resources, the development of the concept of renewable resources, and a decrease in dependence on financial resources. At the same time, the role of human resources, knowledge, and entrepreneurial potential is significantly enhanced, which determines the prospects for digitalization of society.

“…As Dosi and Nelson [77] pointed out, the main forces driving technology dissemination are the spread of information/knowledge and profit expectations, while development/acceptance costs and uncertainty about new technologies present barriers to dissemination. According to Shafigullina et al [78], the entrepreneurs' work is influenced by digital technologies' diffusion since they are enablers of new working ways [79] and are due to any changes in entrepreneurs' work context [80].…”

For many years, entrepreneurs were considered the change agents of their societies. They use their initiative and innovative minds to solve problems and create value. In the aftermath of the digital transformation era, a new group of entrepreneurs have emerged who are called transformational entrepreneurs. They use various digital platforms to create value. Surprisingly, despite their importance, they have not been sufficiently investigated. Therefore, this research scrutinizes the elements affecting transformational entrepreneurship in digital platforms. To do so, the authors have considered a two-phase method. First, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and Matrices d’Impacts Croises Multiplication Appliqué a Un Classement (MICMAC) are used to suggest a model. ISM is a qualitative method to reach a visualized hierarchical structure. Then, four unsupervised machine learning algorithms are used to ensure the accuracy of the proposed model. The findings reveal that transformational leadership could mediate the relationship between the entrepreneurial mindset and thinking and digital transformation, interdisciplinary approaches, value creation logic, and technology diffusion. The GMM in the full type, however, has the best accuracy among the various covariance types, with an accuracy of 0.895. From the practical point of view, this paper provides important insights for practitioners, entrepreneurs, and public actors to help them develop transformational entrepreneurship skills. The results could also serve as a guideline for companies regarding how to manage the consequences of a crisis such as a pandemic. The findings also provide significant insight for higher education policymakers.

“…Technology, in particular, has been found to affect the behavior of entrepreneurs and has an impact on its organization and outcomes (Shafigullina et al , 2020). Understanding the impact of technology on the entrepreneurial work is thereby of importance to better understand what new business owners actually do and how to support them.…”

“…The work of entrepreneurs is also affected by the diffusion of digital technologies (Shafigullina et al , 2020), both because these technologies are enablers of new ways of working (Rosenblat and Stark, 2016), and because of the change the context entrepreneurs work in (Kraus et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper explores digital transformation's impact on the work of owners in entrepreneurial firms. The interplay between working practices and technology is analyzed, taking into account the organizations' specific contexts.Design/methodology/approachA multiple case study design was applied. Eight cases of entrepreneurial firms, defined as companies that bring new products and services to the market by creating and seizing opportunities, were selected, with the goal to maximize the diversity of cases. The sample includes both small- and medium-sized firms, as well as high- tech and low- tech companies in equal number. Interviews have been used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data, which was analyzed in a structured way.FindingsThe digital transformation of entrepreneurial work, that is the daily work of entrepreneurs, is an evolutionary, practice-based phenomenon, rather than the result of rational design. The use of different digital tools is interrelated and depends on the characteristics, and dynamics of the surrounding environment.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study are relevant to entrepreneurs interested in understanding the dynamics of their working practice, to software development firms interested in entrepreneurs as customers and to institutions interested in the education of entrepreneurs.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge this is the first study which considers the interplay between digital technology and the daily activities of entrepreneurs, considered as a whole. It provides insights on how these interconnected dimensions evolve, thus contributing to understanding the work of entrepreneurs, and as a consequence the dynamics of entrepreneurial firms in the context of digital transformation of organizations.
