Sport innovation, entrepreneurship and digital ecosystems

Esha Thukral and Vanessa Ratten

Chapter 7 in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Sport Management, 2021, pp 122-136 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The literature review will focus on sport innovation, entrepreneurship, and the digital ecosystem by providing a structured overview of the widely covered three themes in the existing literature. The three themes are openness, generativity, and affordances. These features of openness, affordance, and generativity of digital infrastructure exhibit the richness of the sport digital ecosystem, which is characterized by collaborative and co-creative culture surpassing boundaries to develop innovative concepts that could enhance entrepreneurial opportunities, and lay the seed for potential future growth (Nambisan et al., 2019). Yet, many research gaps remain in analyzing how sport businesses can and are leveraging digitalization to transform their innovative business models to achieve sustainability benefits and what challenges (internal and external environment) they are facing. Understanding the context in which firms operate is essential for collecting and interpreting data on business innovation.
