Sustainable business model innovation can effectively cope with the complex and changing external environment in the digital economy, which is the key for enterprises to gain sustainable competitive advantage, and entrepreneurship is closely related to sustainable business models. However, the process and mechanism of the role of entrepreneurship on sustainable business model innovation are not clear in existing studies.

“…Limited resources couple with the liabilities of newness and smallness; weaker ties with suppliers and customers and lack of experience all contribute to the struggle to survive in the first years of operation. Indeed, Soriano and Montoro-Sanchez (2011) suggest that decision making in conditions of uncertainty are a root metaphor of entrepreneurship. Yet to start up is to confront these hurdles of uncertainty (Açıkgöz et al 2016), so new entrepreneurs need to be confident about how well they can cope (Dawson and Henley 2013;Storey 2011).…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of confidence in how both new and experienced entrepreneurs interpret and make sense of their business environment to inform decision-making. We illustrate our conceptual arguments with descriptive results from a large-scale (n 6289) survey on entrepreneurs' perception of business performance and their decisions taken at a time of uncertainty in an economic downturn. Quantitative findings are stratified along experiential lines to explore heterogeneity in entrepreneurial decision-making and directly inform our conceptual arguments, while qualitative data from open questions are used to explain the role of confidence. Newer entrepreneurs are found to be more optimistic in the face of environmental risk, which impacts on their decision-making and innovative capabilities. However, the more experienced entrepreneurs warily maintain margin and restructure to adapt to environmental changes. Instead of looking directly at the confidence of individuals, we show how confidence impacts sensemaking, and ultimately, decision-making. These insights inform research on the behaviour of novice and experienced entrepreneurs in relation to innovative business activities. Specifically, blanket assumptions on the role of confidence may be misplaced as its impact changes with experience to alter how entrepreneurs make sense of their environment.

“…The philosophy of CE is incorporated in the organization so that organization can be more responsive to environmental conditions, which change rapidly, by developing unique solutions (i.e product/services, processes and organizational structures) and continuously exploiting opportunities with acceptance of risk of failure. Soriano & Montoro-Sanchez (2011) in his study reported that there exists a strong correlation of the formalization and CE. The findings of the study indicate that some degree of formalization increases CE (Umrani, Kura & Ahmed, 2018;Umrani, Mahmood & Ahmed, 2016).…”
