The Relationship between Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Digital Transformation

Abstract

Given the growing importance of digital transformation, on the one hand, and the recognized importance of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EE) on the other, we find that these are two fragmented fields in the literature and that they lack a systematization of the literature. Our research aims to develop a systematic literature review, in which we will study the relationship between entrepreneurial ecosystems and digital transformation, at the micro, meso and macro levels. For this, we used the Web of Science to collect our database, and we analysed 73 articles that were included in our study for their purpose. In our analysis, we were able to identify the characteristics of the environments of entrepreneurial ecosystems, the actions of digital technology approaches to digital transformation and the necessary skills in the scenario of entrepreneurship. Thus, we proposed a conceptual model with the presentation of the relationship between entrepreneurial ecosystems and digital transformation, which may be useful in future studies. The greatest contribution of our investigation is the offer of this systematization to this field of study, allowing us to see the different paths of investigation.
