Description
Recently, digitization has fundamentally changed and disrupted the dynamics of the economy, society, and markets. This study integrates existing strategic entrepreneurship and business model concepts and constructs with a digital platform-related perspective by focusing on the cognitive aspects of strategic entrepreneurship decision-making and clarifying the conceptual foundation of entrepreneurial agility and its dimensions. It investigates how entrepreneurial agility can combine or integrate opportunity- and advantage-seeking behaviors for product and business model innovation to pursue digital entrepreneurship, to foster sustainable processes and practices, and to create value in response to digital disruption. It finds that entrepreneurial agility directly impacts building digital platform capabilities for product and business model innovation and that building digital platform capabilities indirectly influence creating value through business model innovation adoption. This study discusses the theoretical and managerial implications for digital entrepreneurship research in detail by identifying and testing the relationships among these constructs.
