Although digital entrepreneurship (DE) emerged in the early 1990s because of digital technologies and entrepreneurship, current researchers consider it a recent phenomenon. This chapter proposes to extend the concept of DE to include the concept of dimensions of DE. Using literature in the areas of digital knowledge base and ICT market, digital business environment, digital skills and e-leadership, corporate culture, and access to finance, the chapter proposes a conceptual model for digital entrepreneurship, identifying the components of such a model as well as specific indications of size overlaps in different domains. This model implies that digital transformation in SMEs is intertwined with other activities and entrepreneurial behaviours in small firms, and it argues that understanding digital transformation or the adoption of digital technologies in SMEs requires an understanding of its context, particularly in relation to diffusion innovation theory, innovation system theory, and entrepreneurial approaches to the digital transformation towards digital corporate success. |
