  • Digital Business Ecosystems in the Sharing Economy: Coevolution in the Context of Geographical Expansion   Order a copy of this article
    by Vadim Grinevich, Franz Huber, Katharina Obenholzner, Linda Baines 
    Abstract: While digital platform technologies enable generic offerings with immediate global outreach, it remains unclear why many digital sharing economy companies rarely realise these opportunities. This raises questions as to whether their geographic expansion may be affected by an inadequate engagement with stakeholders, potentially stifling successful growth and upscaling. By applying a business ecosystem perspective for examining geographic expansion of 27 sharing economy platforms, we identify three ideal expansion types that capture the specificities of the business ecosystem of platforms. We label them I am the ecosystem; I am my complex relationships with the ecosystem; I am my direct relationships with the ecosystem. We link these to the underlying critical distinctions related to the platform configuration, level of standardisation and dependency on place. We show how these define the kind of relationships which sharing economy companies seek with different ecosystem stakeholders and the activities they need to undertake to thrive in new geographies.
    Keywords: Sharing economy; business ecosystems; geographic expansion; stakeholder engagement.

  • Unravelling the Link between Recovery Dimensions and Well-Being in Entrepreneurship: a Quantitative Study   Order a copy of this article
    by A.L.I. Bezzaa 
    Abstract: This study explores the relationships between mental recovery dimensions and entrepreneurs well-being. Extending recovery research to the entrepreneurial context, it draws on the job demands-resources model (JD-R) arguing that different job recovery dimensions impact entrepreneurs well-being distinctively. Employing a quantitative approach, this research examines how the four recovery dimensions detachment, relaxation, mastery and control influence the mental well-being of 360 Moroccan entrepreneurs. Utilising structural equation modelling, the study tests the proposed research model and finds that mastery and control positively impact entrepreneurs well-being, while detachment and relaxation do not exhibit significant effects. The findings suggest that, unlike employees, entrepreneurs well-being is more strongly supported by recovery experiences that enhance competence and autonomy rather than passive detachment from work. The study contributes to the entrepreneurship and well-being literature by highlighting the context-specific nature of recovery mechanisms and offers practical implications for the entrepreneur, entrepreneurship support organisations and entrepreneurship educators.
    Keywords: entrepreneurship; entrepreneurial well-being; job recovery mechanisms; Job demands-resources theory; entrepreneurs; recovery experiences.
