“…In the DP, the complex and diverse interactions among different subjects, including enterprises, governments, and individuals, collectively shape the ecosystem of the DP. Currently, most scholars conduct research on DP from the dimensions of economics, information technology, organization, and strategy, and there are few studies involving insurance and DP [ 39 , 40 ].…”

In the context of digitization, the insurance industry’s value chain is undergoing significant shifts. However, the existing research on its comprehension and measurement remains relatively limited. This study constructs an index system for digital transformation in the insurance industry (DTII) on three components: digital infrastructure, digital platform, and digital applications. Utilizing data from 31 provinces in China, this study employs the entropy weight method, analytic hierarchy process method and minimum relative entropy method to measure the weights of indicators, empirically applying this index system. The results show that DTII in China experiences rapid advancement with an average annual growth rate of 20.46% from 2014 to 2020 and there exists strong regional convergence. In addition, the spatial agglomeration and spatial effects of DTII are mainly concentrated in the life insurance industry and the eastern region. This study provides an index system and empirical evidence for evaluating the DTII, providing policy insights for exploring the sustainable development path of the insurance industry in the digital era.

“…Additionally, Beveregun et al (2022) examined the infrastructuring of cloud-based digital platforms like Google and open platforms like the European Union's GAIA-X. Meanwhile, Jiang and Murman (2022) examined the impact of infrastructuring on the Chinese digital economy, and Palmer et al (2022) researched the impact of infrastructuring on digital payment platforms. Other studies, such as those by Nubel et al (2022) on federated digital platforms, Joglekar et al (2022) on digital platforms' infrastructuring in value chain system, and Stehlin and Payne (2022) on the infrastructuring of micro mobility transport digital platforms further underscore the increasing trend of infrastructural transformation of digital platforms.…”

Digital platforms expand into multiple adjoining business domains for revenue maximization purposes. Governments also use digital platforms for public welfare in multiple interrelated sectors. Such horizontal growth transforms digital platforms as digital infrastructure which consequently increases its e-adoption. This research determines combinations of platform attributes which drive the infrastructuring of digital platforms. Results of this research will enable platform mangers to, a priori, embed such attributes in platform architecture to achieve platform objectives. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) research methodology followed by a descriptive cross-analysis has been used in this research. Five key result sets emerge, which, inter alia, indicate that criticality, ubiquity, and generativity are key attributes driving the infrastructuring of digital platforms, unlike earlier research results showing modularity and heterogeneity as key attributes. fsQCA research method with a set theory approach is more suitable for such configurational analysis compared to multivariate techniques.

“…The stronger the working ability is, the greater the probability of entrepreneurial success within the enterprise. Various aspects of employees' characteristics exert diverse influences on entrepreneurial activities within the enterprise [37]. Organizational antecedents encompass the quality of the relationship between managers and employees and the organization's ability to identify and develop.…”

With the rapid development of information technology, digital platforms (DPs) have emerged as an indispensable aspect of the entrepreneurial landscape, which has a profound impact on entrepreneurial innovation and practice. However, there remains a gap in understanding the specific ways in which DPs influence the entrepreneurial process. Therefore, within the framework of information management theory, this study aims to deepen the understanding of how DPs foster entrepreneurial innovation and enhance entrepreneurial effectiveness, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of DPs. Firstly, the concept of information management in contemporary social enterprise management is thoroughly examined and reviewed to establish a robust theoretical foundation for further research. Secondly, the conceptual framework and core elements of DPs are extensively discussed, elucidating their role and function in the entrepreneurial process. On this basis, a theoretical model illustrating the impact of DPs on entrepreneurial innovation and activities is formulated, along with six specific research hypotheses. These hypotheses encompass the effects of DPs on entrepreneur behavior, enterprise development, and the platform–entrepreneur relationship. To verify the validity of these hypotheses, a questionnaire survey involving 398 entrepreneurs is conducted to facilitate in-depth communication. Simultaneously, the various attributes of entrepreneurs are categorized, and the resulting classifications are thoroughly analyzed and evaluated. The results show that the DP plays a positive role in promoting the development of platform enterprises, improving intrapreneurship activities, and enhancing the ability of intrapreneurship. In addition, DPs can effectively regulate the relationship between platform enterprises and entrepreneurs and promote the self-development of entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the entrepreneurial growth process has positively influenced platform enterprises. This finding strongly supports the practical application of DPs and provides valuable guidance for entrepreneurs to leverage them effectively in fostering innovation and entrepreneurial activities in the digital era. Meanwhile, this offers crucial insights for platform enterprises on enhancing their service offerings to entrepreneurs and fostering the sustainable development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. In summary, through rigorous theoretical discourse and empirical analysis, this study emphasizes the significant role of DPs in the entrepreneurial journey, providing robust backing for their continued advancement and utilization in the entrepreneurial realm.
