讲座摘要:

This paper studies the role of individual entrepreneurs’ digital identities in determining their success on digital platforms. We argue that individual entrepreneurs’ identities on digital platforms are composed of social and virtual dimensions through which they can represent themselves to their stakeholders. Particularly, social dimension represents the real facial appearance, which connects the online persona with the society. Virtual dimension reflects how the individual entrepreneur utilizes social media to interact with stakeholders. We further argue that both social and virtual dimensions of individual entrepreneurs’ digital identities may contribute to the success of individual entrepreneurs, but their effects may vary in different institutional environments. By tracking 405 newly launched YouTube Channels, we find that social dimension is more effective in target countries with low network readiness whereas virtual dimension is more effective in target countries with high network readiness. These findings deepen entrepreneurship research by revealing the role of individual entrepreneurs' digital identities for success on digital platforms.
