“…The results are also consistent with recent works of researchers (3)(4)(5)11,22,23) who also concluded in their research work that IT investments result in performance or IT Value without necessarily investing in complementary assets such as training, IT Support and Innovation. However, most of these research works were done at the firm and industry levels.…”

Objectives: To examine the creation of Value from IT investments for tertiary students. The focus was to use the complementary assets (Innovation, Training, and IT Support) as moderating variables for the relationship between IT investments and value creation in a mandated (Covid-19 setting) tertiary educational setting. Methods: One of the leading universities in Ghana was used as the object of study. A google form questionnaire was sent to the student body, and 508 responses were received. Smart PLS was used to analyze the responses. Findings: The results revealed that even though there was some level of interaction between the complementary assets (Innovation, training, IT Support) and IT investments, none of them had a significant effect on IT Value (Training > IT VALUE, p = 0.412; Innovation > IT VALUE, p = 0.371; IT Support > IT VALUE, p = 0.417). It was also revealed that IT investments was significantly correlated with IT Value (IT INVESTMENTS > IT VALUE, p = 0.000), confirming the insignificance of the moderators. In other words, the IT investments alone created value for the students. Novelty: The study is one of the early studies in IT value creation beyond IT investments in a mandated tertiary educational setting. In this study, it is evident that students in a mandated environment, such as in the case of Covid-19, where students are mandated to use the LMS and other IT infrastructure, will find their way out to create value for themselves once the IT infrastructure is in place; complementary assets may not be too necessary.

“…The study by Riera and Iijima also proves the positive impact of investments in digital technologies on selected business objectives (knowledge, growth). Nevertheless, it also points to the negative correlation concerning financial goals (Riera and Iijima, 2015). Therefore, the desire to innovate drives medium-sized companies in particular to invest in the technologies (Hernández et al, 2017).…”

In the context of this study, a literature review and the survey of German business executives were conducted. On the way to digitalisation, companies try to support or replace as many processes as possible using software and tools. The main purpose of this study consisted in investigating corporate investment behaviour in digital technologies for organisational development. Since the progress in this area in recent period is very large, consists the need to determine how do companies choose the appropriate functions and how much are they willing to invest for their execution. The study relies on a review of recent publications, statistical analysis and empirical analysis based on the results of online surveys. Behavioural determinants defined include regularity and predictability of organisational development, spending points, purpose of investment, previous experience with investment object, possible reasons against investment. It was compared which characteristics of companies (number of employees, annual turnover, age of the company, orientation) can influence a statement about the level of investment in organisational development, as well as desired functions and possible decision against investment in digital technologies. Furthermore, the current expenditures for organisational development were compared with the investments of companies with the same characteristics. The results demonstrate the different distribution of statistically collected data for personal purposes and the estimated investment volumes for digital tools for organisational development, despite relatively similar figures for current expenditure on organisational development.

Digital Entrepreneurship and Co-Creating Value Through Digital Encounters

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although digital entrepreneurship (DE) emerged in the early 1990s because of digital technologies and entrepreneurship, current researchers consider it a recent phenomenon. This chapter proposes to extend the concept of DE to include the concept of dimensions of DE. Using literature in the areas of digital knowledge base and ICT market, digital business environment, digital skills and e-leadership, corporate culture, and access to finance, the chapter proposes a conceptual model for digital entrepreneurship, identifying the components of such a model as well as specific indications of size overlaps in different domains. This model implies that digital transformation in SMEs is intertwined with other activities and entrepreneurial behaviours in small firms, and it argues that understanding digital transformation or the adoption of digital technologies in SMEs requires an understanding of its context, particularly in relation to diffusion innovation theory, innovation system theory, and entrepreneurial approaches to the digital transformation towards digital corporate success.
