Purpose

This study aims to present the critical role of knowledge management in digital entrepreneurship by reviewing the literature and proposing future research directions for digital entrepreneurship and knowledge management through an interdisciplinary framework.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses the Derwent Data Analyzer to identify and visualise the extant studies on digital entrepreneurship. This study qualitatively analyses the hot topics and trends in digital entrepreneurship research to understand digital entrepreneurship from the knowledge management perspective.

Findings

The authors found two dominant trends in existing research: logical and development trend exploration at the theoretical background and empirical research at the practical dimension. To understand digital entrepreneurship from a knowledge management perspective, the authors summarised the theoretical logic and internal and external reasons why knowledge management is required in digital entrepreneurship. Moreover, the authors analysed the new features of digital entrepreneurship under five aspects: management concept, object, content, scope and focus. The authors concluded that existing research on integrating knowledge management and digital entrepreneurship is primarily conducted from three perspectives: technology, platform and ecosystem.

Originality/value

This study provides an in-depth analysis of digital entrepreneurship from a knowledge management perspective. The findings can further promote the theoretical research and practical development of digital entrepreneurship and knowledge management. This approach provides a new direction for interdisciplinary study and enriches entrepreneurship research. In addition, this study proposes a knowledge management framework for digital entrepreneurship research. The findings contribute to understanding the role and function of knowledge management in digital entrepreneurship.

数字创业：知识管理的视角

目的

本研究旨在通过回顾文献并通过跨学科框架提出数字创业和知识管理的未来研究方向，展示知识管理在数字创业中的关键作用。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究使用德温特数据分析器来识别和可视化现有的数字创业研究。本研究定性分析数字创业研究的热点话题和趋势，从知识管理的角度理解数字创业。

发现

作者发现现有研究有两个主导趋势：理论背景的逻辑和发展趋势探索和实践维度的实证研究。为了从知识管理的角度理解数字创业，作者总结了数字创业需要知识管理的理论逻辑和内外部原因。并从管理理念、对象、内容、范围、重点五个方面分析了数字化创业的新特征。作者总结认为，现有知识管理与数字创业融合的研究主要从技术、平台和生态系统三个角度进行。

原创性/价值

本研究从知识管理的角度对数字创业进行了深入分析。研究结果可进一步推动数字创业和知识管理的理论研究和实践发展。这种方法为跨学科研究提供了新的方向，丰富了创业研究。此外，本研究提出了数字创业研究的知识管理框架。研究结果有助于理解知识管理在数字创业中的作用和功能。
