*SPECIAL ISSUE*
Digital transformation creates new opportunities and is an
important driver of novel and often disruptive innovation and
value creation. Entrepreneurs are using digital technologies to
finance innovation (Ahrens et al. 2019; Audretsch et al. 2016;
Fisch 2019) or create new digital products, services, and business
models. These activities are called digital entrepreneurship and
related new ventures are commonly referred to as digital startups
if their business logic fully relies on digital technologies for
value creation and transfer (Berger et al. 2019; Steininger 2019).
Such endeavors bring changes in entrepreneurial processes (e.g.,
opportunity recognition and pursuit), innovation, competences,
control, financing, institutions, and ecosystems (Block et al.
2018b; Cram et al. 2016; Hoegen et al. 2018; Nambisan 2017; Sussan
and Acs 2017; Veit et al. 2014). The analysis of innovation and
its positive economic impacts have a long tradition in information
systems as well as entrepreneurship research (Audretsch et al.
2006; Yoo et al. 2010). Today, digital entrepreneurship is
recognized by many countries as a very important element of
economic development and job creation (Block et al. 2018a).
However, at the same time, it also challenges established
industries and forces them to cope with these new developments and
technologies that can have adverse consequences on the economy and
society (Shen et al. 2018; Veit et al. 2014).
This special issue focuses on understanding digital
entrepreneurship and its implications. Specifically, we encourage
contributions that deal with the opportunities and challenges of
digitalization for entrepreneurial endeavors, specificities of
processes in digital startups and for developing digital business
models, and the impacts on cities, regions, or countries.
