Sustainable Entrepreneurship in the Age of Digital Transformation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a driver of innovation and economic growth, supported by nations globally. It is an efficient and effective activity leveraging available resources, driven by creativity and innovation, to achieve specific business outcomes. This involves producing and offering new and innovative products and services, aligning with market needs, while embracing risk and flexibility. However, the concepts of entrepreneurship have undergone significant changes in recent years. The world has been grappling with major environmental and social challenges over the past few decades. Despite technical, economic, and social advancements, these challenges persist and continue to have destructive impacts over time. Can entrepreneurship help address these grand challenges? Traditionally, entrepreneurship has been studied as a mechanism to stimulate economic development and create financial value. However, growing awareness of global social and environmental challenges has led many scholars to reconsider entrepreneurship, viewing it not merely as a profit-generating activity but as an effort that should also incorporate elements fostering social and environmental development. Accordingly, traditional entrepreneurship, focusing solely on economic profitability, is increasingly evolving into sustainable entrepreneurship, aiming to tackle social and environmental challenges in the digital age. The analysis of the role of sustainability in the digital age on new entrepreneurship is a significant topic that requires a more detailed and profound examination. This research has been conducted using a systematic review methodology. Initially, relevant articles were selected from four reputable databases: Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and MPDI, using the keywords “sustainable entrepreneurship” and “digital entrepreneurship.” After several screening stages, including reviewing titles, abstracts, and content, a total of 42 articles from reputable journals ranked Q1 and Q2 were chosen as the final selected papers. Upon thorough examination of these articles, new entrepreneurship based on sustainability in the digital age was described. The conclusion drawn is that in new entrepreneurship, in addition to the economic sustainability emphasized in traditional entrepreneurship, it is essential to focus on two important aspects: environmental sustainability and social sustainability. Furthermore, it is suggested that digital transformation technologies should be utilized to accelerate the implementation of these sustainability aspects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
