This study examines a firm’s response to perceived changes in the environment, such as the growth of the digital era, at different levels of a firm—beginning with the adoption of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) down to process renewal (PR). We further explore if the technological intensity of a firm, high-tech or low-tech intensity, influences its choice of mode for organisational renewal (OR)—use of internal competence or outside acquisition—to exploit the opportunities created by the digital era. Using survey data from 170 firms, we test a sequential relationship among environmental changes (growth of the digital era), CE, OR and finally PR that involves operating procedures at the functional level. We conclude by identifying the study’s interdisciplinary contributions, which open new research avenues in the field of CE.

数字时代的企业创业：通过运营的级联效应

这项研究考察了公司在不同级别的公司对环境感知变化（例如数字时代的增长）的反应-从采用企业企业家精神（CE）到流程更新（PR）开始。我们将进一步探讨公司，高科技或低技术强度的技术强度是否会影响其组织更新（OR）模式的选择（使用内部能力或外部收购）以利用数字时代所创造的机会。使用来自170家公司的调查数据，我们测试了环境变化（数字时代的增长），CE，OR以及最终涉及功能级别操作程序的PR之间的顺序关系。我们通过确定研究的跨学科贡献来得出结论，这为消费电子领域开辟了新的研究途径。
