Dear colleagues,
Digital technologies have profound influence on entrepreneurship research and practice. In this PDW – one week from now – we gather to share and discuss insights from research on the ways in which digital technologies transform entrepreneurship in general and in particular industries, how such technologies change the data and analysis approaches available to entrepreneurship researchers, as well as critical perspectives on these developments and our understanding of them. Short presentations by Satish Nambisan, Frederik von Briel, Tatiana Iakovleva, Susan Marlow and Weiyi Ng will be followed by Q&A with the audience. Howard Aldrich, an entrepreneurship sociologist of exceptional standing and experience as well as with particular insights into the PDW theme, will summarize the takeaways from the deliberations of the PDW. You find the program details below. No pre-registration is necessary, but arrive in time to secure a seat. Welcome!

| In the past couple of decades, entrepreneurship leveraging digital technologies has profoundly affected the life of most humans. Yet, the implications of these developments for entrepreneurship practice, theorizing, and data sourcing/analysis have barely been explored. Be it in the form of digital artifacts (products/services or functions thereof), digital platforms (e.g., Android; iOS), or digital infrastructure (e.g., cloud computing, data analytics, social media, 3D printing, digital makerspaces) (Nambisan, 2016), digital technologies both disrupt old industries and trigger new ones. For start-ups, these technologies engender new approaches to performing various business functions, alter the regimes of value creation and appropriation, and influence who engages in entrepreneurial endeavors, and how. This creates both needs and opportunities for theory development about all stages of entrepreneurial processes as enabled or embodied in digital technologies. In addition, digital technologies provide new types of unobtrusive, large-scale data as well as new analysis tools. In short, digital technologies may amount to a game changer for entrepreneurship, as a societal phenomenon, as a field of research and as a mode of inquiry. In this PDW, scholars with broad and deep insights into digital technologies in entrepreneurship research from a variety of reference disciplines share their views and facilitate discussion about the challenges and opportunities of digital technologies for entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship research. The goal is open, creative and productive interaction as well as facilitation of continued collaborative efforts across presenters and participants towards further development after the event within this central domain of entrepreneurship scholarship. |
