Resumen
Digital entrepreneurship is a recent phenomenon that has emerged owing to various
factors, including technological innovation. This kind of entrepreneurship is currently
implemented in many countries and has the potential to boost the economy
and reduce poverty by creating employment and self-employment. This paper primarily
looks to analyse the influence of technological innovation on the growth of
digital entrepreneurship, and its effects on the economy through growth in employment.
In the absence of any systematic review on this subject, this study aims to map
the relevant research and study the relationship between technological innovation
and digital entrepreneurship. A Systematic Literature Review methodology based
on a sample of 76 papers from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, published
between 1990 and 2022, has been used to identify, select, and evaluate published
research. The results confirm that technological innovation is an important driver
of digital entrepreneurship, but it needs to be combined with other key factors, such
as digital knowledge and skills. This study contributes to existing literature by providing
a more realistic view of what digital entrepreneurship means for individuals’
prosperity and generates valuable knowledge to create necessary conditions to
promote sustainable and successful digital entrepreneurship. It also identifies several
future lines of research that should offer meaningful value to academics and
practitioners.
