- Digital entrepreneurship platforms: Mapping the field and looking towards a holistic approachPublication . Fernandes, Cristina; Ferreira, João José De Matos; Veiga, Pedro; Kraus, Sascha; Dabic, MarinaEntrepreneurship is widely advocated as a driver of innovation and economic growth. Given today's technological and digital challenges, digital entrepreneurship in particular is a phenomenon on the rise, both through the digitization of existing businesses and the creation of digital enterprises. Debates on the relevance of digital entrepreneurship have been published in a range of journals that vary in terms of their purpose and readership. As such, scholarly contributions to this topic remain largely fragmented. To address this gap, this review aims to map academic literature on digital entrepreneurship in order to facilitate a better understanding of antecedents and future work. This study combines bibliometric approaches to examine literature on digital entrepreneurship platforms, forming a holistic picture of the field's different aspects and trends. The content and thematic analysis of 97 articles allows us to identify five approaches: i) Digital Entrepreneurship Success Factors, ii) Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Smart Cities, iii) Digital Entrepeneurial Models, iv) Sharing Entrepreneurial Platforms, and v) Digital Platforms about Entrepreneurship Co-creation. Our findings further highlight the various gaps in digital entrepreneurship literature and raise some research questions that warrant future academic research. Our holistic model holds several implications for the theory and practice of the different aspects of digital entrepreneurship.
- Digital transformation in business and management research: An overview of the current status quoPublication . Kraus, Sascha; Durst, Susanne; Ferreira, João José de Matos; Veiga, Pedro; Kailer, Norbert; Weinmann, AlexandraIt is no surprise that research on digital transformation (DT) has raised vast interest among academics in recent decades. Countries, cities, industries, companies, and people all face the same challenge of adapting to a digital world. The aim of the paper is twofold. First, map the thematic evolution of the DT research in the areas of business and management, because existing research in these areas to date has been limited to certain domains. To achieve this, articles were identified and reviewed that were published in the Chartered Association of Business Schools’ (ABS) ≥ 2-star journals. Based on these findings, the second objective of this paper will be to propose a synergistic framework that relates existing research on DT to the areas of business and management, which will help form the evolutionary perspective taken in this paper. Considering the emerging development of the topic under investigation, the framework is understood as a sound basis for continued discussion and forthcoming research.
- Social entrepreneurship orientation and performance in non-profit organizationsPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, Cristina I.; Veiga, Pedro; Kraus, SaschaWith the downturn in the global socioeconomic panorama, the social entrepreneurship orientation (SEO) and the social performance of non-proft organizations (NPOs) have become subject to growing levels of attention. The objective of this study is to analyze the infuence of SEO on the performance of NPOs. To this end, we deployed a quantitative methodology based on the application of a survey of NPOs, which received a total of 135 valid responses. Our results demonstrate a positive efect for the dimensions of social innovation and social proactivity even while reporting no efect for the acceptance of social risks on performance. These results hold important implications across two diferent levels: in terms of the NPOs and policy-makers.
- Innovation and the circular economy: A systematic literature reviewPublication . Suchek, Nathalia; Fernandes, Cristina; Kraus, Sascha; Filser, Matthias; Sjögrén, HelenaThe circular economy emerged as an alternative model to the linear system, which now appears to be reaching its physical limitations. To transition to a circular economy, companies must not only be aware of but also engage in more sustainable practices. For such a transition, companies must rethink and innovate their business models and the ways they propose value to their clients while simultaneously considering environmental and social facets. This systematic literature review sought to map out from the company perspective the key topics interrelated with innovation and the circular economy, describing the internal and external factors to consider in such transition processes. Key lines of research were identified, and suggestions for future research and for facilitating movement toward a circular economy are provided. This work contributes to deepening the literature by identifying the priority areas concerning the circular economy and encouraging future research that meets international standards of excellence.
