“…The following review of the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, digital entrepreneurship and SME resilience emphasizes the need for a widely missing strategic and integrative view. We integrate the lens of digital sustainability (Gregori and Holzmann, 2020; Holzmann and Gregori, 2023), including the sustainability-digitalization-matrix by Griese et al. (2018a, b), with the capability-based conceptualization of organizational resilience by Duchek (2020).…”

“…The transition toward a circular economy business model exemplifies a proactive response to sustainability challenges (Awan and Sroufe, 2022). Indeed, organizational resilience is assumed to be higher in so-called digital-resilient businesses that have achieved high levels of sustainability and digitalization (Griese et al. , 2018a, b).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to distinguish different types of sustainable digital entrepreneurs (SDEs) and explore their approaches toward enhancing organizational resilience.Design/methodology/approachInvestigation of entrepreneur characteristics using Grounded Theory methodology; 12 semi-structured telephone interviews with (owner-)managers of digital-resilient small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups in Germany; adaptation of a sustainability-digitalization-matrix for initial clustering; investigation of reoccurring patterns (within and between clusters) through variable-oriented content analysis; application of the capability-based conceptualization of organizational resilience for synthesis and extension.FindingsFirst, the authors present a new typology of SDEs, including descriptions of the four main types (Process-Oriented System Thinker, Unconventional Strategist, Dynamic Visionary and Success-Oriented Opportunist). Second, the authors propose a conceptual framework with six success factors of organizational resilience. The framework accentuates the influence of SDEs on organizational culture and the macro-environment.Practical implicationsDigital sustainability and resilience are emerging management principles. The insights gained will allow (future) entrepreneurs to perform a self-assessment and replicate approaches toward enhancing SME resilience; for example, governing the co-creation of an organizational culture with a strong integrative view on sustainability and digitalization.Originality/valueSMEs are characterized by high vulnerability and a reactive response to the disruptions caused by sustainability crises and digitalization. Blending sustainable and digital entrepreneurship at a micro-level, the authors identified the success factors underpinning organizational resilience that are associated with the characteristics of four types of SDEs.
