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. The purpose of this article is to illustrate how entrepreneurship leads to and influences sustainable business model innovation. Based on the perspective of digital capabilities, this article adopts an exploratory single-case study to explore the new connotation of entrepreneurship and its influence mechanism on sustainable business model innovation. The study found that innovation spirit, adventure spirit, and co-benefit entrepreneurship have emerged in the digital economy. Through the inherent role of digital sensing capabilities, digital seizing capabilities, and digital transformation capabilities, sustainable business model innovation is effectively designed and implemented to achieve multidimensional value creation and capture. This article adds to the latest literature on sustainable business model innovation for enterprises through case evidence.

“…Recent strategy and management literature reveal the interchangeable use of terms such as digitization, digital transformation, and digitalization, the latter being the most common. This is an emerging frontier of knowledge and a hot topic of interest among practitioners and academic scholars (e.g., Benitez et al, 2022 ; Chen et al, 2022 ; Guandalini, 2022 ; Yin & Yu, 2022 ), all of whom refer to the application of digital structures as part of a process of moving towards digitalized business to generate value-creating opportunities (Gartner, 2021 ). Similarly, Hanelt et al ( 2021 ) operationalize digitalization as the organizational upgradation prompted by the diffusion of digital technologies.…”

“…Based on dynamic capability theory (Gao & Sarwar, 2022 ; Teece, 2018a , b ; Teece et al, 1997 ), we extend the literature on digital transformation (Benitez et al, 2022 ; Guandalini, 2022 ), innovation capability (Sarwar, Khan, Yang, et al, 2021 ; Zhang & Merchant, 2020 ), strategic alignment (Gao & Sarwar, 2022 ; Shao, 2019 ), innovation performance (Ardito et al, 2021 ; Benitez et al, 2022 ), and the Asia Pacific region (Du et al, 2022 ; Scuotto et al, 2022 ) in four ways. First , despite its obvious significance, the concept of DPC has not been properly conceptualized and examined.…”

“…Furthermore, they possess the potential to align organizational competencies and resources with the external market and elevate the organization’s capability to foresee potential business opportunities and threats, which is why digitalization and digital platforms are prioritized in the strategic management process (Yeow et al, 2018 ). It is understood that digitalization serves knowledge management (Di Vaio et al, 2021 ), innovation (Ardito et al, 2021 ; Benitez et al, 2022 ), sustainability (Guandalini, 2022 ), environmental orientation (Ardito et al, 2021 ), and performance (Cenamor et al, 2019 ; Felipe et al, 2020 ). However, the impact of these platforms on innovation performance is poorly-understood, constituting a critical research gap.…”

The direct influence of digital platforms on organizational efficiency, financial performance, and strategy attracts the close attention of researchers. The complex mechanisms and pathways of digital platforms on transformation capacity, however, are still unclear at the global and Asia Pacific levels. Drawing on dynamic capability theory, we empirically explore how digital platforms augment organizational innovation performance. We advance the current literature on digital platforms by finding that digital platform capability boosts an organization’s dynamism and innovation performance. Furthermore, we extend the literature by revealing that, indirectly, innovation capability and strategic alignment have a substantial influence over digital platform capability and innovation performance. Finally, the study formulates a conceptual model from a dynamic capability perspective, rather than from a resource-based view, and test it using the responses collected from 153 Pakistani manufacturing firms.

In most of the cases sustainability is associated with environment. Since the era of digitalization has started, the world is getting transformed digitally on each and every moment. The transformation of digitalization has characterized by the technology which helps to increase the speed and vastness of knowledge turnover within the economy and society. The pattern of digital transformation is getting updated each and every day. People are working on more advanced digital transformation because world does not want to stuck in one place rather this world is moving forward very fast. People are working on these for a better world, society, economy. Digital transformation should be benefic for large number of people. Though digital transformation is a constant changeable process and it requires a large amount of investment it would be better if people get benefitted by the digital transformation for a longer period of time. Innovation is key of digital transformation. Innovation is a process which leads to the development of new technology. Through the process of innovation business is getting modernize, efficient workflows are getting accelerate, increase profitability and security. A Conceptual framework for innovation is very important in the process of digital transformation. Digital transformation has many benefits such as it reduces inefficiencies, improved productivity, lower production and maintenance cost while increasing system flexibility. But due to lack of proper framework many times organization has face many challenges when it found to move forward towards digital transformation. The challenges are lack of proper implementation of standard protocol, giving emphasis on new technologies without assessing its role within the business, investing money on digital implementation without a realistic view of return on investment. We must remember that machine serving the cause of man. Machines with inputs from human side took perform quasi human actions. In this study we are going to explore how digital transformation can be more sustainable by strengthening the innovation to face the global challenge.
