The digital and green transitions represent transformative shifts that are reshaping the economic, social, and environmental landscapes in the 21st century. These shifts intertwine profoundly, giving rise to emerging spaces for nurturing new entrepreneurial opportunities.
The green transformation sets the strategic direction for the change and innovation process, while the digital transformation equips us with the tools to effectively implement the strategy and take action.
The convergence of the digital and green transformation combines the advantages of digital technologies adoption with the principles of social and environmental sustainability, and this represents a new frontier for entrepreneurship, enabling streamlined operations and the emergence of sustainable and regenerative business models. This convergence has also garnered increased research and policy attention, and is at the center of the recovery and resilience plans to relaunch the economy after the Covid19 crisis. In such scenario, entrepreneurs need to navigate the tensions between digital and green transformations, address the environmental impact of digital technologies and bridge the potential digital divide in sustainable innovation.
Also universities play a central role in this context by redesigning curricula and adopting new practices that incorporate digital innovations and sustainable development principles and guidelines, thus evolving towards a fourth generation.
This special issue aims to stimulate a discussion on how the twin transition
influences entrepreneurial action, promoting the development of sustainable businesses and contributing to a greener and more digitally connected future.
Suggested topics are, but not limited to:
o Strategies for integrating environmental sustainability and digital transformation in entrepreneurial ventures
o The role of entrepreneurial behavior in driving green and digital transformation
o Entrepreneurial mindset and capabilities in navigating the twin transition
o The impact of digital technologies on sustainable business models and practices
o The fourth-generation of universities engaged in combining digital innovation and sustainable development
o The role of policy and regulatory frameworks in shaping entrepreneurial actions towards the twin transition
o Case studies showcasing successful integration of green and digital initiatives for entrepreneurship
o The challenges and opportunities of the twin transition for start-ups and established businesses
o The role of entrepreneurial ecosystems in facilitating the twin transition
o The influence of stakeholder perspectives on entrepreneurial decisions in the twin transition
o Methodological advancements and novel approaches in researching the twin transition and entrepreneurial behavior
o The dark side of the twin transition: e-waste, energy consumption, digital divide, cyber-threats, greenwashing
