Synopsis
Entrepreneurship is increasingly shaped by digital platforms that connect businesses with customers, markets, data, payment systems, and a growing range of technological resources. Rather than operating independently, many entrepreneurs now build and scale their ventures within platform ecosystems that influence how opportunities are identified, products are marketed, and value is created. These platforms provide powerful tools for innovation and growth, but they also establish rules, algorithms, and governance structures that affect visibility, competition, and long-term success. As a result, entrepreneurial activity is becoming deeply intertwined with digital infrastructures that simultaneously create opportunities and impose new constraints. Understanding how entrepreneurs navigate these evolving platform environments has become essential for examining the future of innovation, business growth, and digital enterprise. Digital Entrepreneurial Platforms: Capabilities, Opportunity Processes, and Performance Implications advances a systematic and theoretically grounded understanding of how digital entrepreneurial platforms reshape the foundations of entrepreneurial action. While prior research has examined entrepreneurship and digital platforms as largely distinct domains, this book integrates them to explain how platform infrastructures influence capability development, opportunity processes, and performance outcomes. Covering topics such as cross-border opportunity processes, third-party marketplace depth, and micro-entrepreneurs, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, entrepreneurs, startup founders, small business owners, business strategists, innovation managers, technology professionals, platform developers, policymakers, and more.
