摘要

目的数字技术的快速发展促使数字创业者转向，这种行为使创业者能够调整原有机会并探索新的机会。本研究旨在从数字敏捷性的角度，探讨数字创业团队的结构特征--职能异质性--对枢轴转动的影响。设计/方法/途径通过中国某商学院 MBA 项目的创业网络和中国的创业支持机构，对中国的数字化创业团队进行了两个阶段的调查。结果数字创业团队的功能异质性，包括行业背景异质性和职业经验异质性，通过提供异质性知识和资源对支点转向产生积极影响。原创性/价值现有研究主要关注外部因素，而本研究实证研究了数字创业团队中数字转向的团队层面内部因素，丰富了转向的研究视角。此外，本研究还将数字敏捷与枢转的相关文献进行了衔接，拓宽了枢转的理论机制，拓展了数字敏捷的理论边界。

Functional heterogeneity in digital entrepreneurial teams and pivoting: the role of digital agility

PurposeThe rapid development of digital technologies drives digital entrepreneurs to pivot, a behavior that allows entrepreneurs to adjust original opportunities and explore new opportunities. This study aims to investigate the effect of the structural characteristics of digital entrepreneurial teams, the functional heterogeneity, on pivoting from the perspective of digital agility. Moreover, this study also examines the moderating effect of knowledge sharing.Design/methodology/approachTwo-phase survey data were sourced from Chinese digital entrepreneurial teams through the entrepreneurial networks of MBA programs of a Chinese business school and entrepreneurial support organizations in China. The sample of 272 teams with 708 entrepreneurs was collected to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe functional heterogeneity of digital entrepreneurial teams, including industry background heterogeneity and occupational experience heterogeneity, positively impacts pivoting by providing heterogeneous knowledge and resources. Moreover, this relationship is mediated by the digital agility of the digital team, and knowledge sharing moderates the relationship between functional heterogeneity and digital agility.Originality/valueWhile existing studies have mainly focused on the external factors, this study empirically investigates the team-level internal factors of digital pivoting in digital entrepreneurial teams, enriching the research perspective of pivoting. Moreover, the current study bridges the literature on digital agility with pivoting, broadening the theoretical mechanism of pivoting and expanding the theoretical boundaries of digital agility.

期刊介绍： Business processes are a fundamental building block of organizational success. Even though effectively managing business process is a key activity for business prosperity, there remain considerable gaps in understanding how to drive efficiency through a process approach. Building a clear and deep understanding of the range process, how they function, and how to manage them is the major challenge facing modern business. Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) examines how a variety of business processes intrinsic to organizational efficiency and effectiveness are integrated and managed for competitive success. BPMJ builds a deep appreciation of how to manage business processes effectively by disseminating best practice. Coverage includes: BPM in eBusiness, eCommerce and eGovernment Web-based enterprise application integration eBPM, ERP, CRM, ASP & SCM Knowledge management and learning organization Methodologies, techniques and tools of business process modeling, analysis and design Techniques of moving from one-shot business process re-engineering to continuous improvement Best practices in BPM Performance management Tools and techniques of change management BPM case studies.
