Beyond digital transformation, business innovation, and entrepreneurship – the next research steps

Digital transformation is associated with new values, practices, and the creation of structures based on specific rules, often different from those previously established. Business innovations, in turn, encourage the sharing of these values and influence entrepreneurial business models. This drives a transformation aimed at building a sustainable society, where today's highly relevant environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria become an opportunity for a better life and contribute to economic growth. Scientific publications and research from the past two years once again confirm the positive relationship between digitalization and sustainability, as well as the role of universities and research institutes in developing sustainable and digital entrepreneurial ideas.
