“…A similar approach is also presented in the study by A. Pergelova et al, where it is shown that digital technologies contribute to the development of traditional entrepreneurship of women [5], B. Hansen on the use of digital technologies by Chinese entrepreneurs [6]. Often digital technologies are considered as a way to involve marginal groups or people with disabilities in entrepreneurship [7].…”

Digital technology entrepreneurship is an important element of the transition to the digital economy, a factor of accelerating regional development. But this type of entrepreneurship has been studied insufficiently in the scientific literature. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of digital technology entrepreneurship on the development of Russian regions by clarifying its types and features. The methods of included observation, structural analysis, functional analysis, comparative analysis were used in the study. As a result, the definition of digital technology entrepreneurship is clarified, its categorization by four classification grounds is developed, the main features are established, the key directions of influence on the social and economic development of the region are identified. The recommendations on the accelerated development of digital process entrepreneurship in the regions are proposed and substantiated. The results of the study can be used by the authorities and universities developing digital technology entrepreneurship.

“…An analysis of the initial nodes suggests that the dimension Entrepreneur relates primarily to the digital behavior patterns, social impact, and knowledge nodes. The variety of categories covers the range from digital entrepreneurial intentions to start a business [63] and the related decision-making process [62,64] to knowledge integration [66] and social outcomes for entrepreneurs [58][59][60][61].…”

Digital Entrepreneurship and its Role in Innovation Systems: A Systematic Literature Review as a Basis for Future Research Avenues for Sustainable Transitions

Digital entrepreneurship is an essential driver within the innovation system. It changes the structure, aims, and networking mechanisms of the overall business system and, ultimately, affects the various levels and dimensions of the innovation system. Bringing inevitable changes to the innovation system, digital technologies may not only provide new business opportunities but also be disruptive and cause new vulnerabilities. In order to gain a rigorous understanding of the hybrid concept of digital entrepreneurship and its role within the transformation of the innovation system, we conducted a systematic literature review. The results of 52 core papers allow for the identification of key categories of digital entrepreneurship and also its differentiation from other types of business activities. The analysis leads to the distinction of the determinants of digital entrepreneurship within three core dimensions of the innovation system, which encompass the entrepreneur (including, e.g., behavioral, competence. and mentality patterns, as well as personal outcomes and consequences of entrepreneurial activity), the entrepreneurial process (including activities that concern digitalization in organizational management processes, transformations within strategic and operational activities, and digital start-up establishment), and its relevant ecosystem (which encompasses, among others, the influence that external infrastructure and institutions have on digital entrepreneurship development). The systematization of the existing literature is highly relevant for future research that aims to understand the interrelations between the transformation of entrepreneurial structures within innovation systems as well as the socioeconomic system in general. Such understanding requires further extended research in fields related to method, content, and theory.

“…In doing so, social media is changing how "organizations do business" (Arnaboldi & Coget, 2016, p. 47). In turn, and despite critical voices about the expected benefits for entrepreneurs (Martinez Dy, Martin, & Marlow, 2018), it becomes unthinkable not to be on social media (cf. Duffy & Hund, 2015).…”

“…However, the way in which entrepreneurs use social media and what that means for the processes and practices of entrepreneurial development and their outcomes is underreasearched and under-theorised (Achtenhagen, 2017;Giones & Brem, 2017;Horst & Murschetz, 2019;Kraus et al, 2019;Martinez Dy et al, 2018;Nambisan, 2018;Shen et al, 2018). This is evident in recent calls to bring mainstream entrepreurship and predominantly industry-focused research on media entrepreneurship closer together to advance theorybuilding (Achtenhagen, 2017) and, in turn, create new theoretical constructs that enable capturing and investigating interdisciplinary topics (Horst & Murschetz, 2019).…”

The use of digital media enables entrepreneurs to develop their startups in strategic manner. However, how entrepreneurs develop their identity through digital media is currently underexplored. Therefore, our focus is on how entrepreneurs describe and reflect on their communication with their audiences over digital media and, in turn, how that shapes their becoming as entrepreneurs. Our empirical data consists of 29 qualitative interviews and close observations in the start-up incubator neudeli at the Bauhaus-University Weimar. Through our analysis we show how the practice of strategic sparring and the practice of brand co-creation facilitate the development towards three alternative identity types, which are "solution-driven", "purpose-driven" and "lifestyle-driven" identity. Ultimately, our study highlights how media management can be seen as a practice of self through communication over digital media.
