Far-reaching technological developments are making a deep impact on societies and economic environments worldwide. With the emergence of new digital infrastructures such as artificial intelligence, fintech, data analytics, robotics and nanotech, new creative industries, still in a state of flux, have arisen, while others have disappeared, at least in their traditional form. The intermixing of traditional and new technologies has led to a redrawing of boundaries and an extension of the limits of entrepreneurship out towards industries with hitherto high barriers to entry due to regulatory, technological or structural factors. These "external enablers" have led to a democratization of entrepreneurship and a lessening of the obstacles to starting up a company by reducing (or eliminating) the difficulties inherent in the entrepreneurial phenomenon in its "classical" configuration, such as high resource intensity, uncertainty, limited time or information asymmetry. The De Gruyter Handbook of Digital Entrepreneurship examines the impact of these technological disruptions not only using the existing paradigms, but also by re-examining our very conception of the entrepreneurial phenomenon in terms of its evolving nature and shifting contours. The contributions to this handbook promote the emergence of new theories and conceptions of the entrepreneurial opportunity and process that more fully reflect the realities of the new environment we are living in. They will benefit both academics aiming to familiarize themselves with the state of research and theory within topics and subtopics in digital entrepreneurship, as well as practicing entrepreneurs and managers aiming to acquaint themselves with leading edge practices and insights in digital entrepreneurship.

Meet Steve Adams, who at age 32 was a banking executive and flying high. Everyone was proud of him. And he was dying inside. Adams had long yearned for something else - a dream that you, too, may harbor in your heart. He had a passion waiting to blossom. He wanted to make it as an entrepreneur in his own business. He wanted to do something meaningful. "Win or lose," he writes, "I knew my only real anguish would be regretting in twenty or thirty years why that young man never just took that chance." Today, Adams operates successful Pet Supplies Plus stores across the country. His was a journey of severe challenges overcome, and in The Passionate Entrepreneur he shares his mistakes and heartaches and what he learned from them in his pursuit of success. He imparts the lessons about the systems and strategies essential to running a successful business. Among them: how to treat employees, appeal to customers, and establish your brand, all the while paying meticulous attention to the bottom line. Above all, however, an entrepreneur must understand the true bottom line - the meaning of success itself. Adams knows that business without passion is a mere exercise in numbers. Profit without purpose can drain the soul. He wanted to be an entrepreneur so that he could lead others to a better life - his family, his employees, his clients, and his community. An entrepreneur needs a mission and absolute clarity about what he or she wants to accomplish. The Passionate Entrepreneur is a book of encouragement for those who are ready to pursue their dreams and for those who fear, in their frustration, that they have forgotten them. Steve Adams gets to the heart of the matter, and he is waiting to speak to you. Foreword by Lee Milteer
