However, recent developments in the context of digital entrepreneurship call for revision and advancement. The multiple possible combinations of technology and entrepreneurship have resulted in a diversity of phenomena with significantly different characteristics and socio-economic impact. This article is focused on the identification and description of technology entrepreneurship in times of digitization. Based on current examples, we identify and describe characterizations of technology entrepreneurship, digital technology entrepreneurship, and digital entrepreneurship. With this new delineation of terms, we would like to foster discussion between researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy makers on the impact of digitization on entrepreneurship, and set a future research agenda.}, keywords = {definitions, digital entrepreneurship, digital technology entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship, technology entrepreneurship, technology Innovation}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1076}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1076}, author = {Ferran Giones and Alexander Brem} } @article {880, title = {Do Actions Matter More than Resources?

To describe how entrepreneurs unlock the value proposition that makes a technology useful, we adopt a set of lenses that allow us to view what happens on both sides of the market. In this context, we need to look beyond the resources to explain the weight that entrepreneur{\textquoteright}s actions carry on the technology entrepreneurship process. In this article, we use a multiple case study on three new technology-based firms to explore how their actions can be interpreted as valuable market signals. The results suggest that entrepreneurs strategically use market, technology, and social capital signalling to mitigate uncertainty and advance in the technology entrepreneurship process. This research holds implications for academic research on the integration of resource and demand-side views, as well as for entrepreneurs and practitioners interested in understanding the impact of visible actions in the early stages of a new technology-based venture.}, keywords = {market signals, opportunity exploitation, opportunity exploration, signalling theory, social capital signals, technology entrepreneurship, technology signals}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/880}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/880}, author = {Ferran Giones and Francesc Miralles} } @article {692, title = {From Ideas to Opportunities: Exploring the Construction of Technology-Based Entrepreneurial Opportunities}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {3}, year = {2013}, month = {06/2013}, pages = {13-20}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {The transformation of business ideas into market opportunities is at the core of entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, the complexity of such a transformative process is seen to change depending on the variables influencing the opportunity-entrepreneur nexus. Although technology-entrepreneurship is regarded as a force of change and dynamism in socio-economic growth, it also depends upon an intricate process of opportunity development. The interest in understanding better how technology-based entrepreneurs simultaneously cope with technological uncertainty while trying to gain stakeholder support and access to resources, highlights a relevant research gap. The research described in this article uses the constructivist view to deepen our understanding of the technology-based entrepreneur{\textquoteright}s conceptualization of the opportunity as a process of social construction. Our results show how initial consensus-building efforts and iteration with knowledgeable peers are an essential part of the emergence of the opportunity, changing both entrepreneur{\textquoteright}s and stakeholders{\textquoteright} perceptions of the early business idea. Consequently, our results provide evidence in support of policy programs and measures that favour social-construction support mechanisms to foster technology-based entrepreneurship.}, keywords = {constructivist view, entrepreneurship policy, technology entrepreneurship}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/692}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/692}, author = {Ferran Giones and Zhao Zhou and Francesc Miralles and Bernhard Katzy} }
