🎉 Excited to share our latest publication! Our paper “Mediating and Moderating Mechanisms of the Digital Bridge Between Infrastructure and Entrepreneurial Performance” is now live in Technology in Society Elsevier a Q1 SSCI journal ranked ABS 2 ⭐⭐ This work has been a truly rewarding journey with two wonderful collaborators: Alba Yela Aránega (Universidad de Alcalá, Spain) and Alexandru Capatina (Dunărea de Jos University of Galați, Romania). Proud of what we built together! 🙏 At its heart, this study asks a question that matters deeply to entrepreneurs in the Middle East and beyond: does digital infrastructure alone drive performance or does it depend on what your organisation does with it? Using PLS-SEM on 300 digital ventures, we show that digital entrepreneurial capabilities and innovation orientation are the real bridge between infrastructure and success and that regulatory support plays a crucial amplifying role. A heartfelt thank you to Guest Editor Paul Jones and Editor-in-Chief Marina Dabić for their stewardship of this special issue, and to the anonymous reviewers whose thoughtful feedback made this paper significantly stronger. 💙 If you work on digital entrepreneurship, MENA ecosystems, or infrastructure-performance linkages I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ew-BtAaW #DigitalEntrepreneurship #TechnologyInSociety #PLSSEM #MENA #Innovation #Research #NewPublication #OpenAccess
