In a recent issue of the ‘European Journal of Innovation Management’, Tal Berman, Prof. Dr. Daniel Schallmo and Sascha Kraus present their latest paper, which offers crucial insights into the success factors of digital ventures. 👏 The paper ‘Strategies for Digital Entrepreneurship Success: The Role of Digital Implementation and Dynamic Capabilities’ highlights the role of skilful implementation of digital technologies and the development of dynamic capabilities. 💻 The authors illustrate how digital start-ups challenge established market players and which strategic approaches they should pursue in order to be successful in the long term.
