Dataset Supporting a Systematic Review on Digital Innovation in Entrepreneurship (2020–2024)

This dataset supports a systematic literature review (SLR) that examines the landscape of digital innovation in entrepreneurship between 2020 and 2024. The review draws exclusively from peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Scopus database and follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to ensure methodological rigor, transparency, and reproducibility. A total of 24 articles were systematically selected and analyzed. The study is guided by three main research questions (RQs): RQ1: What are the key components of digital innovation in entrepreneurship studies? RQ2: What are the key enablers of digital innovation in entrepreneurship studies? RQ3: What is the conceptual framework of digital innovation in entrepreneurship studies? To address these questions, the dataset incorporates thematic findings developed through grounded theory using the Gioia Methodology. This qualitative approach enabled the emergence of first-order concepts, second-order themes, and aggregate dimensions, offering a comprehensive understanding of both the structural components and enabling factors of digital innovation within entrepreneurial contexts. The dataset comprises multiple files designed to facilitate further academic inquiry and practical application. A PRISMA flowchart (PNG) visually illustrates the article selection process. The key enablers of digital innovation are presented in a thematic model (PNG), while a "growing plants" conceptual framework (PNG) metaphorically represents the evolutionary nature of digital innovation in entrepreneurship. Two structured documents (DOCX format) provide detailed mappings: one identifies the key components addressed in the literature, and the other categorizes the key enablers that emerged from the thematic analysis. This dataset is intended for researchers, educators, policy makers, and practitioners who are interested in the intersection of digital transformation and entrepreneurship. It offers a foundational resource for empirical research, theoretical development, and strategic innovation program design in entrepreneurial ecosystems.
