Summary
The role of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the digital entrepreneurial world where businesses exploit modern technologies in order to gain a strategic advantage over their competitors when entering the market. By distinguishing among the different types of online business – SMEs, start-ups or spin-offs – this chapter introduces the concept of open innovation that lies at the heart of every digital entrepreneur. Furthermore, this chapter delineates the series of steps that an entrepreneur should understand and follow to successfully establish an online business and outlines the risks and challenges to be aware of along the entrepreneurial journey.
