The Impact of Digitalization on Entrepreneurial Innovation: A Comparative Analysis Between Developing Economies in Asia and in Other Regions

This paper explores whether more established use of digital technology encourages new businesses to be more innovative, comparing 11 countries in Asia with 57 in other regions and highlighting policy implications. The findings suggest that while digital tools do support innovation, they may be more transformative outside Asia. This might be because of lower levels of digitalization or digital infrastructure outside Asia, making digital tools more impactful in such contexts.
