Description
Summary:The literature has traditionally focused its attention on the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurial activity. From this perspective, new innovations are accompanied by digital transformations that enhance value creation. However, it is also important to consider the digital dividends derived from this effect, not only on society overall but also on entrepreneurship activity. This latter possibility is not generally addressed in the studies in this field. This paper analyses the theoretical and empirical aspects of the effects on entrepreneurial activity of digital transformation and digital dividends, that is, the broader developmental benefits that using these technologies brings, in the shape of digital transformation. An empirical estimation is developed using partial least square (PLS) estimation for the case of 29 European countries.
