Abstract

This paper aims to underline how the new emerging digital technologies could empower women entrepreneurship by supporting them in overcoming the constraints they face as well as in creating a more favorable network environment. We will do this by analyzing the state of the art of the research regarding entrepreneurship practices by women considering the literature that has focused on this theme up to now. Methodology - A structured literature review methodology is going to be applied to this paper. Through the use of specific keywords, we analyzed Scopus documents published up to now on the theme related to Women and technology entrepreneurship. Several steps have been followed to perform a systematic, transparent, and replicable study. We used the VOSviewer tool for bibliographic and cluster analysis. A final content analysis was performed to identify research areas. Findings - Specifically the contribution and the impact provided by the Digital Technologies is analyzed for women's entrepreneurship. A conceptual discussion on how the Digital Technologies opportunities in overcoming some of the constrains women tackle in their entrepreneurship process and which are the main research streams that emerge for future investigation on the theme, is provided. Practical implications - The major implication is to advance knowledge and practice in the area of gender in management and use of Digital Technologies by focusing upon empirical research, theoretical developments, practice and current issues. Benefits are related to a beter understanding of the debate on "Gender and Management" themes by reconsidering networking activities with social media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

25. Combining Deep and Digital Technologies as a Path Toward Twin Transition: The “Future Farming” Case Study

Author

Dal Mas, Francesca, Ndou, Valentina, Massaro, Maurizio, and Bagnoli, Carlo

Abstract

This article presents an innovative approach to fostering twin transitions, leveraging the creation and management of digital entrepreneurial ecosystems. In such ecosystems, both digital and deep technologies are developed to address complex societal challenges, thanks to the dynamic capabilities of their key actors. The empirical foundation for these propositions is anchored in a comprehensive case study analysis of the “Future Farming” initiative, a collaborative venture between the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice (Italy) and the company ZERO. In the Future Farming, a distinctive eco-systemic collaboration model underpinned by a digital platform allows the collaboration among industry leaders, start-uppers, and academic researchers to enable the development of twin transition unicorns that leverage deep-technologies. The case study underlines the need for a new micro foundation approach to dynamic capabilities to allow value cocreation and the establishment of new hybrid organizations, responding to market needs, aiming at sustainability, and encompassing the latest technological advancement. Moreover, it highlights a new academic entrepreneurship approach, with universities and scientists able to translate their scientific discoveries into real-world applications.

Abstract

The unpredictable nature of a current business environment has underlined the organisational performance optimisation as a major issue (Muthuveloo and Teoh, 2020). Successful performance optimisation strategies require the ability to adapt quickly to an uncertain and changing environment (Christopher and Peck, 2004, Tang and Tomlin, 2008). Hence organisations are continually seeking new opportunities for the cost reduction, enhancement of the product and service quality, and increase of employee and organisational satisfaction (Freitas and Costa, 2017). However, key to effective response is to ensure performance is not compromised and therefore the need to focus on optimisation strategies is vital (Singh and Singh, 2015). Hence exploring lean six sigma (LSS) as dynamic capability (DC) is essential (Anand et al., 2009; Gutierrez-Gutierrez et al., 2020; Alsyouf et al., (2020) reinforcing the strategic orientation of LSS beyond its operational application as a performance optimisation practice (Sunder and Ganesh, 2020).

Travelers have embraced user-generated media to collect travel-related information. However, recent figures show that users are discontinuing their usage of TripAdvisor.com, the leading UGC platform in the travel & tourism industry. Although the relevancy of this topic, there is a lack of research on the factors affecting travelers’ continuance intention of UGC platforms like Tripadvisor.
