Digital Entrepeneurship Education: Review Of Literature

Abstract

This paper is a literature review of digital entrepreneurship education based on the emergence of digital technology. The huge public interest in digital entrepreneurship, contrasted with very little research on digital entrepreneurship education, makes it both an opportunity and a challenge in developing digital entrepreneurship. This paper provides an overview of the state of research and outlines a future research agenda on digital Entrepreneurship education. A literature search through Scopus showed very little data, so the search was extended to the Google Scholar search engine. In the last ten years, 154 articles were initially found. These were then filtered, extracted and analyzed for the journal selection process. Twenty-three articles were found that discussed digital entrepreneurship education in depth. The content analysis results show that the literature on digital entrepreneurship education is scant and dominated by unrelated research. Furthermore, this paper describes the antecedent, consequence and mediation variables used in digital entrepreneurship education research. Although the literature on digital entrepreneurship education is scant and will continue to grow, this area of research remains fragmented and under-theorized. Future research is needed, focusing on the antecedent variables of digital entrepreneurship education as the basis for shaping such education and development towards the consequence variables.
