| Summary: | Abstract Digital entrepreneurship is widely acknowledged as a catalyst for job creation and economic growth, playing a crucial role in boosting corporate competitiveness and securing sustainable development. This study presents a comprehensive review of the developmental trajectory and emerging trends in digital entrepreneurship, thereby laying a solid foundation for its future growth. Utilizing CiteSpace software, we analyzed 937 publications on digital entrepreneurship from the Web of Science (WoS) and 1153 from Scopus, spanning the last 26 years. Our comparative analysis explored the distribution across countries, institutions, disciplines, and co-authors; it also included keyword co-occurrences, cluster analysis, and temporal mapping. The results reveal a recent surge in interest in digital entrepreneurship, highlighting its significant potential. Leading the research efforts are countries such as China, the USA, and the UK, with the field intersecting disciplines like business management, information technology, strategic planning, and environmental science. Central themes include digital ecosystems, technology integration, entrepreneurial behavior, digital transformation, and sustainability. Through an in-depth review of 75 relevant studies, we have outlined a fundamental framework for digital entrepreneurship that includes structures, technologies, and strategies, and we have clarified the interactions among these elements. |
