Infos

The primary idea behind this book is to provide a platform for the sharing of contributions from the doctoral students of the Entrepreneurship and International Business group at the Department of Business Administration of Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia). The talented group, consisting of students from countries such as Egypt, Estonia, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Kazakhstan and Russia, are studying across various topics relating to Digital Transformation for Entrepreneurship and its related subjects. This thus creates a ripe opportunity for the sharing of perspectives from different theoretical and methodological applications.

The book's chapters study decision-makers of small entrepreneurial firms, both start-ups and mature, as the primary target group, digging deep into their insights on recent and fresh research findings produced by the doctoral students as part of their studies.

Therefore, the book fulfills two main objectives: 1) entrepreneurial firms will get concrete ideas and recommendations as to how to address and/or improve their entrepreneurial activities/approaches to entrepreneurship triggered by digital transformation, and 2) the doctoral students will get a unique opportunity to expand their scientific writing skills while at the same time having an opportunity to present their findings in a way that is considered relevant and impactful by practitioners.

The scientific quality of each chapter has been ensured by the participation of two experienced scholars and supervisors — one of whom is the head of the Entrepreneurship and International Business group, and an active researcher on the book's topic — who have closely monitored the development process of the book.
